Video Game Music
14 years ago
Isn't it a shame how video game music is extremely underrated especially the old electronic stuff you get from (for example) a Sega Megadrive's YM2162 chip or the arcade soundtracks also some of the later stuff like the soundtrack to sonic adventure 1 and 2 or Halo (awesome :)). I miss the old electronic chip driven sounds of the 16 and 32 bit era, I asked a friend of mine what he thought of it and he said its just mind destroying noise, how????? even if it's electronic it still has a melodic tune. Then again he does listen to all this Rap put a cap in his ass crap (no offence^^). Myself, I'm a lover of "music" i do like most genres I'm not a single track minded person I do like 80's music (mostly) video game music (*hugs*) some Drum and Bass, Ibiza style dance music, hell my music style is all over the place. But... Video game music (to me) has something different I can't explain it but it does even Sega's Daytona USA has a catchy soundtrack even with Takenobu Mitsuyoshi's sampled voice screaming DAYTONA LETS GO AWAY!!!! thru the attract screen, it's still a awesome track. Anyway the point of this bitch you may ask? none whatsoever, i was being random again and was bored. Laters from the Fox...
Stop having my exact taste in music xDD
No seriously :I
It's creeping me out
I think what makes video game music special is that it's specifically engineered to immerse you in a fantasy world. Most video game music makes me feel like a kid again, i makes my imagination more vivid, and makes me feel like I'm dreaming while stay awake...eer, something like that. you're right, it is hard to say exactly what makes it so magical. :3
