What are you listening to?

[Cat on Mars]

I'm into movie OSTs lately, and Morricone gives me life.

When you walk away, you don't hear me say, "Pleaseeeeee, oh baby, don't go!"

In the comments section, someone who claims to be PLANiTb mentioned where certain samples came from: "The bass is from an old Robert Miles record, sampled and key placed placed in midi. The FX are from Time & Space (sorry, I honestly can't remember which), the drums are obviously 909, 808."

I have been listening to Cowboy Bepop songs ever since I finished the anime.

A bit of Wolf's Rain as well

Sawano here and there

FFVIIRs soundtrack

Bill Conti is another one I like. I think the score for Karate Kid 2 is one of the best I've ever heard

 

[Cat on Mars]

Bill Conti is overlooked by too many people, his work on Karate Kid 2 is the best part of the movie imho. I'm partial to Rocky saga's score not only because it's awesome but because I use multiple tracks for my workout playlist lol. If motivation was music, it'd be a Rocky medley.

Cowboy Bebop songs are timeless. Also, Tank! is the best anime opening theme ever.

And that's how I got my username

My mom's nagging

It's mildly raining and I'm listening to random My Neighbor Totoro OSTs.

Is it Real?

But I guess the most emotional song is Space Lion, it just engulfs me in a mix of emotions.

The entire soundtrack is phenomenal, as it is the anime.

 

[Cat on Mars]

Space Lion is a gift for prog music fans, first time I heard it in HD was akin to a religious experience. Blue has always been my fave because feels. That anime was full of serious, sad and silly moments... I enjoy the wackier side of the OST (Cats on Mars, Chicken bone, Mushroom hunting) just as much.

EDIT:

Be nice, she nags beause she cares

Yeah, good luck getting that CD nowadays for a decent price. I bought it years ago, brand new for $15. Now they're around $100 something lol. I like the Rocky stuff too!

You sure about that? I rarely buy CDs anymore because I have too many already and no room to store them, but found the Brazillian edition and German edition quite cheap.

My mistake. Was thinking about an American copy

 

[Cat on Mars]

Oh, this one! Good lord, that's pricey.

Now, something I wanted to share. Keith Flint from Prodigy died a year and some weeks ago and Kaleidoscope Orchestra made a Prodigy medley tribute. It's great, the bad thing is that it ends too soon. They did a fantastic job.

Isn’t his name Steve Conte though?

Anyways Call Me Call Me always tugs at my heartstrings, definitely one of the safest scenes of egg eating in any media thanks in large part to the music.

Steve Conte composed Call me (love it too!) and the japanese band The seatbelts made a cover of it as well (I'm almost certain that Cowboy Bebop Blue features Conte's version). Blue is credited to Tim Jensen (lyrics) and Yōko Kanno. Kanno was the main composer and many songs were performed by several artists (mainly by The seatbelts).
Kanno is a versatile and prolific composer, I remember the OST for The Vision of Escaflowne fondly. Back in the day, this was the definition of anime epicness:

Oh yeah I know that, I am just confused because didn’t you call him Bill Conti?

 

[Cat on Mars]

Bill Conti is a Hollywood composer. Maybe you mixed them up because in that post I mentioned Bill Conti's scores and Cowboy Bebop OSTs.

Talking Heads – [Stop Making Sense #14] Girlfriend Is Better [5:11]

it’s utterly beyond me how white people can be this funky – Tina in particular shines on this track (but then, when doesn’t she?)

also, if you haven’t heard “This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)” in a while, do yourself a favour and listen to it. Stop Making Sense version (probably the definitive performance):

Listening to Mobius FF osts, specially the final area and boss theme which completely blows my mind of how epic and inspiring it is. I can't wait for the 3rd official soundtrack's release.

This might be one of my favorite FF compositions at this point. The vocals have a Nier / Xenogears touch, and then it gets to bombastic renditions of various recurring themes from the game. It pumps my fucking soul.

I couldn't be more overjoyed with Mitsuto Suzuki's work in this title.

Then I found out Haken (prog metal) is releasing a new album, there's one track released so far and liked it a lot. Its called Canary Yellow.

Also the Seatbelts made a new performance of The Real Folk Blues.

I'm in ecstasy I can't write anymore.

Yes! I'm thankful I got my copy over a decade ago.

Latin arrangement of RFB, really good!

 

[Odysseus]

The Slayers theme songs are still great

 

[Glaurung]

^ I'll always cherish that series.



I haven't been in the mood for many vocal songs lately, only OSTs from RPGs (or anything that resembles them). Here's a selection:

I'm in a BAD MOOD TODAY™

These tracks, in this order, can soothe me and put me in a good mood.
I still feel like shit though.
