straight from YOUR playlist
if you encounter a piece of sound so great you want to hang yourself for not being able to write something of similar quality...
if you think you've just found the best music ever made...
if you think a certain song/tune/symphony contains some unusually awesome elements...
...and you want to share it with other c64 composers and not necessarily via your facebook wall, just do it here.
explanations, reviews and so on warmly welcome.
one link per day max.
have fun. |

I prefer SH2 OST the most - scary, captivating and nostalgic at the same time. Pity that official soundtrack doesn't cover all themes from the game. I'm working to make something with this sound on sid - well, something between SH and STALKER too ;) |

Boards of Canada's new longplayer "Tomorrow's Harvest" on repeat for days. Recommended especially for those who thought "The Campfire Headphase" was too lightweight.

@Linus: that track reminds me of Lackluster/Sunflower, in a good way :)
All right, so let's take a look at Erina Niwa:
http://www.last.fm/music/Erina+Niwa/+images/69322356
Erina is your golden ticket whenever you need adrenalin pumping music for your latest and greatest action game. She did the honours for Bayonetta and Vanquish, both critical successes but unfortunately, commercially not so... boo :(.
My favourite tune (and quite a few more) hails from Vanquish:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKfw7vVEH2s
This is the first tune that plays after the tutorial. At first, I was a bit disappointed. As you can see from the pictures in the Youtube video, Vanquish is a futuristic bullet hell cybershooter, yet the music brings a classical composition to the table, heavy on the brass.
Then, at 1:28, when I'm just about to accept fate and endure the game's beaten to death 'space opera' music style, Erina Niwa says "Haha, fooled you!" and 303 happens. Gorgeous, delicious Three "Oh, f**k yeah." Three. And then, half a minute later, the brass returns, but this time layered into the 303. And it's "OH. F**K. YEAH!" sublime! I'm in bullet hell and at the same time in fusion trance heaven.
"Breaking into the Colony" sets the tone for the rest of the game. Not a single beat is dropped as Erina and co-composer Masafumi Takada hit you with fusion trance, lots of 303, cybertrance, ambient and... android commie disco (trust me, it makes sense in the game :):

Tomorrow will be my final playlist entry for a while. See you then!

I'm, as they say, a child of the eighties. The eighties were the decade where - in my case - music was absorbed, assimilated and shaping the id and the ego.
For my last entry into this thread (for a while), I've picked the one track from the eighties which I literally cannot live without. In 1981, this song firmly kicked off everything wrong and right about the eighties and will last me my entire life (and it would be truly impossible to remove any rose-tinted eyewear from my lookers, not that I'm wearing any mind you, no seriously, there are no recognisable rose tints within my field of vision as I continue to rant poetic):

I love everything about this :). Composition (with gradual tempo progression), vocals/lyrics (and I'm not a big fan of vocals/lyrics as you may have noticed from my previous entries), instruments (a first step towards the fusion of analogue and digital), atmosphere and even the accompanying bonkers video clip (back when suave mustaches and weird camera shots for the heck of it were all the rage).
At some point, I'm going to convert this treasure to c64. Some day. Until then... may this mean nothing to you!

to my utter surprise, i think i've never heard a song that complicated, that dissonant and that beautiful at the same time.

the name's Norwegian i guess, but the band's Polish. |

according to common practice tonality? almost everywhere. but for people who consider diminished chords with minor ninths an everyday solution, it obviously isn't complicated nor dissonant ;) |

2:20 part of that Disasterpeace joint is crazy. and... drumming style reminds me of Danny Goffey (one of my favourite players) - precise beats meet chaotic fills ;) |
