 I'm listening to Winter Is Gone by Nick Drake. It's weird, up until two weeks or so ago I was convinced that three albums was all Nick Drake's discography encompassed, but then Spotify goes and releases this compilation of bootlegs and whatnot called Family Tree, which has almost as many songs as his main albums put together. And it's pretty great. |

 | Forever!  Been alternating between two tracks, myself: "Gathering Stars in the Night Sky" - Xenogears soundtrack There are some major similarities in the opening of this piece to a piano track Mitsuda would eventually compose for Xenosaga I, called "Warmth". As a standalone composition, though, it really is (listening, Wolf Kanno?  ) an example of how the gradual evolution of the technology affects the possibilities for sentimental tracks. Get a proper amount of tremor occuring on what was undoubtedly a top-notch woodwind synth at the time, and the experience is made much more "real". Additionally: "Standing the Storm" -- William Joseph Personal favorite piece from the artist (something of an obscure protégé of David Foster, and an exceptional pianist), integrating the massive symphonic elements with the piano lead with unparalleled evocative power. *_* The absolute highlight of the piece is the viola section (perhaps violin) entry at 2:09. The track just produces such vivid imagery that one almost feels it should be saved for particularly special occasions. :laugh: The most obvious image is one of a violent storm, cast in dark, textural layers of gray, wavering curtains of precipitation, and positively ferocious winds. A lot of wind seems to be involved in musical imagery when one wears a dark trenchcoat as outerwear, and lives for the moments when the full flow of the garment can be put into play.  |
