From: TheKnightOfNee | #001Poll of the topic: What's your favorite song uploaded so far? (gotta start simple)
I have a bunch of favorites that I've gone back and listened to a *lot*, so have a list:
Day 288, Sim City 4- Wheels of Progress
I love the churning feeling that the song has, the little soft dissonant moments... I haven't played the game, but it portrays well what I assume is the sort of growing period of a city.
Day 173, We <3 Katamari- Baby Universe
As laid back as the song is, it fits wonderfully with the frantic running around that Katamari is. Pleasant to listen to, of course, but it clashes perfectly with the game.
Day 97, X- Tunnel Scene and Day 143, Pokemon Card TCG2- GR Duel
& http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYjYm5nhaMo
It really impresses me that the Game Boy can churn out this kind of cool, sort of layered music; I love X's drive and the GR Duel's pseudo-rock. (Though the GR Leader's still the best GB song ever to me. <_<)
Day 93, Shadow of the Colossus- Battle With the Colossus
Sends shivers through my spine. I haven't played much of the game (it's rough around the edges with jaggies and a kind of painful framerate), but god DAMN does this song make the battles that much better.
Day 198, Cave Story- Moonsong
Hauntingly cool song. Between the song and the colors of the Outer Wall it makes for a really cold loneliness, especially with the sparse enemies in the area. Sets the mood well.
Day 19, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon- Primal Dialga
I swear, every time I hear this song I want to go play Mystery Dungeon, as much as I hate the game.
Day 96, Etrian Odyssey II- Cherry Tree Bridge
While people have a sort of dislike for MIDI sometimes, I particularly love it; when it creates something like this song, with a consistent sound, it creates such a distinctive atmosphere to a game. Can't say I've played any of the EO games, but I love the feel this song creates.
Definite favorite, though?
Day 124, Clannad- Town, Flow of Time, People
I'd heard of Clannad off and on again as one of the best things that anyone had ever played; while I was a fledgeling VN fan and had played Ever17 the year before and considered it one of the best things I'd ever played, I had indeed tried Clannad and failed, not really getting in the mood of its sense of humor and sort of odd art style. So I shelved the game, but then I listened to Town months later... And damn did I like what I was hearing. I decided to give the anime a try, and now? Now I think it's the best thing I've ever experienced, no exaggeration. I absolutely love the soundtrack to this game; I didn't listen to much else for a few months I was so hooked. Finally giving the game a shot only has me in love all over again.
