Musical Picks

If there is one thing I have learned, it's that music truly is the most universal language in the world. Besides myself looking for yet another excuse to post anything at all or just a good one to post music videos, I would like everyone here to feel free to post links to some of your favorite tunes and/or talk about what you like to listen to. Consider this thread your very own little "House of Blues" as it were.

Anyway as for an opening post, I had some difficulty trying to think of a good opener, a nice ice breaker everyone may enjoy, and well I came up with this. Enjoy.


Disclaimer:
Everyone has their own likes & dislikes which includes their listening preferences so please no badmouthing or cruel banter because somebody enjoys a certain type of music or band you may not. There is plenty of song to go around, be nice.

    Here's one that grabbed me the second I heard it. It's also one of my favorites from the soundtrack for the animated epic Heavy Metal.

    This may be a bit cliche but what the heck. This was the only track I needed to hear to get me hooked on this band. Coincidently, it was the first of theirs I heard to start with.

    Taking another retro-leap back, here's a track from a Super Nintendo game that was never released stateside until a remake/rerelease on the Gameboy Advance. Like a lot of anime tracks, there's this intense sense of passion and fighting against all the odds. I've added links to the original and the official covers by Namco

    Tales of Phantasia (1995 - Super Nintendo)
    Fighting of the Spirit (Original)
    Fighting of the Spirit (MIDI Cover)
    Fighting of the Spirit (Arranged Cover)

    Here's a few remixes.
    Saitama Saishuu Heiki - Fighting of the Spirit (Rock/Metal Remix)
    Sixto Sounds & Dshu - The Unholy Wars (Fighting of the Spirit - OCRemix)

    Here's another playlist, this time for yet another early title from the original Playstation, one that created the standard of futuristic anti-gravity racing fused with an techno/electronic soundtrack and was the first non-japan game for the console.

    Wipeout (1995 - Playstation)

    These next three were exclusive to the PAL version of the game.


    Here's the website for the original artist, CoLD SToRAGE. You can download these and other tracks for free from there as well as buy albums of his latest offerings.

    Speaking of PS1 games, did anyone play Bust A Groove ?

     

    Some purists like the japanese version better.

     

    Unlike other (lame) dancing games, in Bust A Groove you can actually sabotage your opponent's moves ;)

    Dude, you're speaking my language! I was getting around to posting the full playlist eventually, just been trying to go from genre to genre so no one got bored. (Including me! Heh.) I'm not really a purist but I do like the long original extended cuts from the game. I don't really care either way. If the track's good, I'm listening.

    Here's the playlist anyhow, might as well. (The two you found were added in for good measure.)

    Hey, if it was good then, it's good now! It is funny though cause when I think of the 90's, it really doesn't feel that long ago. That's until I do the math and then I'm like "Ah crap! It was long ago!" Ha ha! Ah well, what can you do? I'll just pass off what I like and maybe the younger generation will carry it on for us. I'm gonna post tracks from the Sega CD as well.

    Well here's another throwback from a ridiculousy expense console at the time and even now that you may or may not have heard of, NeoGeo. (The tracks are from the higher quality and even more expensive NeoGeo CD system.)

     

    Viewpoint (1992 - Neo Geo CD)

    The playlist is missing the Main Theme, Begin Game, and Highscore tracks.

    This was on the soundtrack, but not used in the game.

     

    Here's the Playstation version of the soundtrack.

     

    Viewpoint (1996 - Playstation)

    The first two are the full tracks, the others are kind of. They were the best I could find. No one has posted them really.

    Here's a couple from a band reknown for their offbeat style of music. Amusing and silly, but great listening.

    Well I tried, but there wasn't much holding me back from posting a playlist for yet another SNES game! This one developed by Produce and published by Enix was a unique mix of RPG, Hack-n-Slash, and brain solving puzzles.

    Brain Lord (1994 - Super Nintendo)


    Here are some remixes.

    Another curve ball coming your way! Here's a real feel good track with no actual purpose besides 'getting stoned' from a fantastic songwriter.

    This blows my mind

    Dude, you're not kidding. I had to pick up all the little bits of brain matter off my monitor.

    Feels like a mix between Dragonforce and Tool.

    Here's one that is both awesome and hilarious at the same time!

    "Weird Al" Yankovic - I'll Sue Ya!

    Here's one of my personal favorites from these guys. The tune is rocking and the music video is pretty funny. A perfect combo in my book!

    Here's one from the "Queen of Rock" herself. Truth be told, I've had a crush on her since I was a kid. What can I say? She's a real badass babe!

    Here is just one of many kickass tracks from this youtube band that unfortunately does not create music anymore.

    Have you seen this one? I think it is catchy for people that like Science. (Me!)

    They Might Be Giants- "Meet the Elements"

    They Might Be Giants- "Meet the Elements"

    I've heard the tune but haven't seen that music video. Thanks for the link.

    Well here's my reply to your scienceyness!

    Thomas Dolby - She Blinded Me With Science (1982)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ijnp-w4-MY8

    She Blinded Me With Science (Tenchi Muyo Music Video)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiwAYSwBWH8

    I just happened to come across the second one. For me, the original Tenchi Muyo anime is one of the best ever done. It's funny and a little wierd but has some cool fight scenes and space battles. Plus the women looked like actual women (apart from the hair color). It gets tiring and kinda boring after a while when they keep drawing women with ridiculous porportions. I still think Washu is the most beautiful and sexiest woman of anime ever.

    Another post, another tune.

    Here's the intro to a game from the Mega CD (Sega CD in the US).

    It's not that well animated but was something back in the day. Tune still kicks butt though.

    A-Rank Thunder Tanjouhen - Intro, 1993

    Here is the complete playlist of the original soundtrack from a very short lived television series that had a videogame on the NES and in the arcade and even a pinball machine. You could say the Roller Derby Girl from Series 9 reminded me of this!

     

    Rollergames 1989

     

    Here's the full playlist to the NES videogame released in 1990.

    Here's the full playlist for a fighting game on the Playstation oozing with anime flavor from every digital pore. You could swear you were watching an actual anime and not just a game with the way how it's presented. Plus the different animated cutscenes and voice actors helped too. The control scheme was incredibly simple with only two buttons (one to attack, the other to defend).

     

    Evil Zone (1999 - Playstation)

     

     

    The original Japanese opening used "Kiss in the Dark" by Masami Okui.

    Here's a few from a lady with an absolutely amazing voice and equally talented songwriter! I have always loved her music since I was born.

    Followed by the best cover ever!

    Honestly, I'm getting a little pooped trying to come up with an opening statement every time. So without further ado, here's the track for your listening pleasure.
