10/27/20 Music Spot || Persona 3 – Heartful Cry

The Persona series is no stranger to a wide variety of great compositions, but I wanted to shine some light on this less popular track from the third entry. Heartful Cry is considered the theme of Aigis, the game’s android character. I’m a big Aigis fan, and I think this tune encapsulates her quite well.Continue reading “10/27/20 Music Spot || Persona 3 – Heartful Cry”

10/15/20 || Music Spot: Not Tomorrow – Silent Hill

I recently finished streaming my very first playthrough of the original Silent Hill. One of the most striking things about that game is its soundtrack, composed by Akira Yamaoka; most of it is ambiance that makes creative use of filtering and sound design to make an unsettling atmosphere. What makes Not Tomorrow so interesting, then,Continue reading “10/15/20 || Music Spot: Not Tomorrow – Silent Hill”

9/26/20 Music Spot || Melty Blood: Actress Again: Current Code – Actor’s Anteroom

This is where I flex my anime and fighting game muscles. The game with too many colons in its name, Melty Blood: Actress Again: Current Code, has some fantastic music. Character select screens are often overlooked when talking about fighting games, but it only takes a glance to the likes of Marvel vs. Capcom 2Continue reading “9/26/20 Music Spot || Melty Blood: Actress Again: Current Code – Actor’s Anteroom”

9/18/20 Music Spot // Castlevania- Symphony of the Night: Wood Carving Partita

I’m currently in the midst of my first playthrough of this game, and one of the absolute best things about it is the soundtrack. This plays in the Long Library, and is perfect for such a location inside Dracula’s castle. It’s tough to describe why exactly I associate the harpsichord with high ceiling-ed, gothic architecture,Continue reading “9/18/20 Music Spot // Castlevania- Symphony of the Night: Wood Carving Partita”

Music Spot: Dusk- Keepers of the Gate

Dusk is one of the best games I’ve played in a while, maybe this entire year. I could probably write a full feature on it, but I still need to digest the full experience and I just did Blood quite recently. Andrew Hulshult, the go-to guy for great FPS soundtracks, provides the music here, andContinue reading “Music Spot: Dusk- Keepers of the Gate”

(Music Spot 9/5/20) No More Heroes- We Are Finally Cowboys

This is what counts as an off-day for me, I guess. I just wanted to talk about how good No More Heroes’ soundtrack is. We Are Finally Cowboys really highlights one of my favorite aspects of it, these grinding, almost aimless guitar riffs that never let up over chaotic, noisy percussion with some elements ofContinue reading “(Music Spot 9/5/20) No More Heroes- We Are Finally Cowboys”
