Hear, hear!

Spent a decent chunk of time locating this thread (I figured there must have been one; no message board is complete without a proper receptacle for quick, indiscriminate analysis of music). Kind of an unfortunate "only once every 10 posts" clause involved, but the beggars who imagine themselves choosers likely do not keep their hands long. <_< >_>

Now playing: "Evil's Symphonic Poem (Death's Theme)" and "Clockwork" - Castlevania: Judgment Soundtrack

Despite reports that the game itself is terrible even beyond what is reasonable for a Wii title (never even seen the gameplay firsthand, mind), the soundtrack is quite an intriguing piece of work . . . We're working primarily with remixes of older Castlevania tracks, revamped with some truly kickass instrumentation. "Evil's Symphonic Poem" is just a wickedly prideful congregation of electric guitar riffs, stringwork, some intricate percussion effects (celesta-type bells a la Symphony of the Night Soundtrack), and, thankfully, usage of brass that is fairly imitative of the sound of stringed instruments, just with an entirely different auditory flavor. Love it.

"Clockwork", on the other hand, probably required the harpsichord player to be under heavy influence of some type of narcotic. :laugh:
Other than that, the same basic instrumentation as "Evil's Symphonic Poem", and the majority of the entire soundtrack, really. Granted, precious little original composition is taking place here, but there is a great deal of rearrangement, which is difficult enough on its own. *_*

'Another Love Song' - Queens of the Stone Age

Moved to shiny new thread since old thread was dead dead dead.

I'm listening to "Help Me Hold On" by Travis Tritt because I am in a country mood. I love Travis' voice - it's at once plaintive and impassioned, no matter how cheesey the song; even without lyrical legitimacy he creates a mood, an emotion and he takes you there. Basically he can tell the worst stories in the best way.

Robert Schumann's Symphony No. 3 in E Flat, Op. 97 (Rhenish) - Scherzo (Sehr mässig) because I am working on someone's computer. That's the reason, but it doesn't reveal much in regards to a question of "Why?" much...

eep... more micro-type i have to magnify 150% in order to read... anyway i'm listening to "Marilyn Manson: The High End of Low" currently, i don't listen to singles but rather the entire album cause single hopping is lame in my opinion, artists rarely intend for you to single hop as an entire album is 1 cohesive work of art... anyway it's a great album with some good songs, i'm liking "Pretty as a Swastika" it has a great hook, "Four Rusted Horses" is a great track with that Space Cowboy feel to it, a 9 minute opus titled "I Want to Kill You Like They Do in the Movies", and a trash disco type track titled "WOW" and no it's not a referance to World of Warcraft it's wow as in disbelief... and that's where i'm at on the disc at this moment...

Flashback - Riot Brothers

Very rare that I listen to Hardhouse dance music, but this one's a classic.
