Video Game Music Appreciation

[Maretocks]

Any suggestions that are made, I would really like it if a video is added so I may hear it (forgot about FF there, I really would like to add some FFX (Piano) collections in here.

All the Prelude themes. (only minor differences mainly, but a few have significant modifications from the standard arpeggio.)

FF7's Prelude Theme. My fav.

Also, check out this awesome piano rendition of the FF7 one that w3sp did. @ 3:46

Gusty Garden on Mario Paint (with FREE MP3!)

^Not mine, btw. But it's still awesome.

The music is great but I hated the level... I think... my Wii broke over a year ago. I kept falling off of the planets. The game itself never clicked for me.

It's Mexican? I only hear a little bit of Mexican in it and I live dangerously close to Mexico... oh well. It does have maracas. Anyway, I imagine, like, the British back in the 17th and 18th Centuries, or whenever they basically ruled the world with a queen and stuff.

Wow, it's been a while since you've posted. Glad it was in here.

I think the "Mexican" style he was referring to was the Gusty Gulch, song, I think. A rumor I heard is that [insert Composer name here, not Kondo, not Miyamoto] had 2 different styles of music to put in SMG, Latin (repeat: LATIN) and hip hop. Kondo hated them both, so [composer name] went with orchestral. It fit the game and here we are. I don't hear any maracas in there, though. I hear an acoustic, however, which kept up that Latin feel of the song.

BTW, I already have the MP3 I am the Mario Paint saviour of NSM.

[MaestroUGC]

Kondo hated the Latin style? What? Have you heard the Mario Bros. Theme? It is latin. He's even admitted that the latin style is one of his greatest influences.

[Seeker]

Question: What defines Latin?

[universe-X]

@Maestro: It's not that he hated the Latin style, he hated the song that was given to him, that was, indeed, Latin.

Seeker: I'm not sure anymore.

Question: What defines Latin?

Any instruments found in the song "Feliz Navidad." I'm not into Latin or Mexican music, but I'm pretty sure that most people who have Christmas know that song. "Feliz Navidad" is "Merry Christmas" in Spanish.

[universe-X]

Actually, I could hear the SMB theme with a few Latin instruments now that I think about it.

Who knows?

Random thought: If a word in the dictionary were spelled wrong, would we ever know?

[universe-X]

Ok, I am so very inspired right now, how does everyone feel about doing the Tetris theme sometime?

Also, I finally got a schedule up, it looks like we're sticking to the "one per week" thing. Just in case I'm not here on a certain day, would someone please volunteer to take it up for me?

[Cobraroll]

^Great!

Anyone have more to say about Gusty Garden?

[Maretocks]

It has some cool, arguably Latin backing that keeps the fast pace, it makes you feel like you're flying, and that's basically what I got from this thread.

[universe-X]

I don't fully understand why people say it feels like "flying". I can understand a little, but to me it's just really windy. I dunno . . .

By the way, I'm gonna make a long speech for all of the songs that we do.

So, does anyone want to take this thread up if I'm absent on a day?

[Maretocks]

I don't come on here enough. Just so you don't ask me later.

Also,

I don't fully understand why people say it feels like "flying". I can understand a little, but to me it's just really windy. I dunno . . .

it gives you a sense of freedom, and, since it's called Gusty Garden, you automatically think flying.

[universe-X]

Take into consideration, however, the song's Japanese name, Wind Garden. So . . . yeah.
