Stomu Yamash'ta's Red Buddha Theatre - The Man from the East

Japan. Soundtrack. Sounds. Guitars. Drums. Music made by percussionist-led group. Decent music. Jazz. Jazz. Jazz. If you go for that east asian thing than you should probably get down with this it getting those trad. folk elements from here and there and sometimes. Ana Orori. White. It gets good.

WESTERN ROCK REIGNS SUPREME

Mega Man X6

No I will not be posting the whole X series, not yet if ever..
So this is where things are at their best. This is CE 2001—no NES or SNES sounds. This almost passes as real music. Definitely the prime as far as song content and all that goes, though I do rather like the soundtrack the first one. . .

Mega Man X

Here we go, back on track. This is a fresh approach. Based not so much on failing or doing not so good, or rehashing, or any such things. X (not to be confused with 10) is for SNES and its sound parameters are based on that hardware setup. Most of the songs hold up rather well (is it from hearing them so many times? They do repeat endlessly), though some more than others (obviously).

Mega Man 7. Mega Man 8, Mega Man 9

Megamen 7, 8, and 9 are here. Overall this is a little less good than the previous installment. 7 being on SNES has more 'realistic' instrument voices. 8 sees a bit more of a fusion orientation and some remixes of previous songs and getting far away from the comforting NES sound by using playstation technologies. This doesn't work out so well really. 9, from CE 2008, is more of a fallback to the NES style, but with a more polished sound. It is the best one of the three, I guess.

The sounds are touched up a bit and lack the feel-good textures of the NES music, but I guess this is okay. Not really prime material though.

No, I have never played any of these games. . .

Mega Man 4, Mega Man 5, Mega Man 6

These are the last three Mega Men for the NES. Still good stuff here, but not as essential. Sound quality has changed little, which is for the best.

Check out Dr. Cossack Stage 2 and Centaur Man.

Tosca Tango Orchestra - Waking Life Soundrack

"Orchestra" from Texas, Austin.
Tango at times I suppose (Duh), classical at others—notably Chopin's Nocturne No. 2 in E-flat major, Op.9—but overall very moody, fitting for the film. The film is a set of dreams featuring monologs as well as dialog, even some scenes with no words. Thoughtful subjects. Animated. This is an interesting film worth checking out if you can. Even the band makes an appearance in the film.
As a soundtrack this is great, good consistency of theme. As music more generally this holds up too, a few weak spots, I feel, but these are few and nothing bad at all.
The best part of all of this is the accordion.

Chrono Trigger OST (Yasunori Mitsuda)

Chrono Trigger.
Game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. 1995. Pretty classic actually.

Chrono Trigger OST.
Composed mostly by Yasunori Mitsuda, but with some by Nobuo Uemastu of Final Fantasy fame. This is the 3 disc original sound edition (not from 2009), which is most premium.

GIVE THIS [REAL?] MUSIC A CHANCE, WILL YOU?
