"Reach for the Moon, Immortal Smoke" - ZUN (Imperishable Night GST)

One of the best game BGMs I've ever heard.

After listening to the Touhou song mentioned by Momiji~ (It's definetly one of the best ones !) and having a Nostalgia trip.

I'll be listening to my newly purchased ACIDMAN Album: Loop. It sound nice so far :3

This thread would probably be a lot more interesting if people were required to post their reactions to what they were listening to. Maybe more active as well, since it'd make people more likely to discover things that they would be interested in.

Drudkh - Коли Пломінь Перетворюється на Попіл [When the Flame Turns to Ashes]

I used to play this album practically once a day. This album (Кров у Наших Криницях, or Blood in Our Wells) is a highly progressive and Ukrainian folk-influenced take on black metal, with songs mostly averaging about ten minutes in length and comprised of several separate sections. Lyrics are apparenetly taken from classical Ukrainian poetry, though as I don't speak Ukrainian I can't translate and they're probably close to unintelligible over the music anyway. Two years after discovering this album it still sounds fresh and inventive.

Beyond Electric Dreams - Bad Religion

This is one of my favorite songs by Bad Religion.

[Project G]

Goody too shoes - Adam Ant

[Vice Nebulosa]

Hear, hear!

Spent a decent chunk of time locating this thread (I figured there must have been one; no message board is complete without a proper receptacle for quick, indiscriminate analysis of music). Kind of an unfortunate "only once every 10 posts" clause involved, but the beggars who imagine themselves choosers likely do not keep their hands long. <_< >_>

Now playing: "Evil's Symphonic Poem (Death's Theme)" and "Clockwork" - Castlevania: Judgment Soundtrack

Despite reports that the game itself is terrible even beyond what is reasonable for a Wii title (never even seen the gameplay firsthand, mind), the soundtrack is quite an intriguing piece of work . . . We're working primarily with remixes of older Castlevania tracks, revamped with some truly kickass instrumentation. "Evil's Symphonic Poem" is just a wickedly prideful congregation of electric guitar riffs, stringwork, some intricate percussion effects (celesta-type bells a la Symphony of the Night Soundtrack), and, thankfully, usage of brass that is fairly imitative of the sound of stringed instruments, just with an entirely different auditory flavor. Love it.

"Clockwork", on the other hand, probably required the harpsichord player to be under heavy influence of some type of narcotic. :laugh:
Other than that, the same basic instrumentation as "Evil's Symphonic Poem", and the majority of the entire soundtrack, really. Granted, precious little original composition is taking place here, but there is a great deal of rearrangement, which is difficult enough on its own. *_*

'Another Love Song' - Queens of the Stone Age

[fire_of_avalon]

Moved to shiny new thread since old thread was dead dead dead.

I'm listening to "Help Me Hold On" by Travis Tritt because I am in a country mood. I love Travis' voice - it's at once plaintive and impassioned, no matter how cheesey the song; even without lyrical legitimacy he creates a mood, an emotion and he takes you there. Basically he can tell the worst stories in the best way.

Robert Schumann's Symphony No. 3 in E Flat, Op. 97 (Rhenish) - Scherzo (Sehr mässig) because I am working on someone's computer. That's the reason, but it doesn't reveal much in regards to a question of "Why?" much...
