just enjoyed the film - like the tune.

Just some music to keep energy up- Offspring, Divide by zero/Slim Pickens does the right thing and rides the bomb to hell

Orchestral and studio merged for double the metal

Powerwolf i approve


did you see TYR's performance with their home town's full orchestra live?




Speaking of orchestration

More silent mobius

This is the full orchestra versions of the music Wada used for the movies




They also did a series of image albums for- silent mobius: the return and mobius klein 1&2 they were effectively soundtracks for the manga. so the music was all over the place, vocal tracks and instrumentals








Unfortunately i cannot find the track "first war" it is a blistering instrumental piece that starts out similar to eruption from Eddie Van Halen.

Finishing off my silent mobius we come to the TV series.

Loved the music, happy they could flesh out the manga story in anime but i was really let down by the low budget.

from the first soundtrack a bit of orchestration/chant






from the second soundtrack/vocal collection a little rocker (the album also includes an english language track version of the opening theme)





I just found the 3rd soundtrack, going to give it a listen later.

Ravenor Returned audiobook. While it's not my favourite Dan Abnett novel it is a master-class in plotting and pacing. A couple of things I received quite a bit of praise on in my Creative Writing course was my plotting and pacing, which I think is due to Dan Abnett's influence on me. Although, many of his novels have quite rushed endings, in all honesty, Unremembered Empire being the first and foremost. But with all the millions of plotlines in that novel it would've been much, much worse under many other writers. In my novel, The Angaran Chronicles: The Underside I was worried I had a too bloated ending, but I read over Traitor General (which ends in sorta similar ending and is my favourite Gaunt's Ghosts novel and, perhaps, my favourite 40k novel in general Rawne's character arc is just so well done, in my opinion) And that helped me finish it without too many perspectives and such (or at least I hope so) I think Ravenor Rogue might be the strongest of the Ravenor trilogy in my book (hah! Pun intended, sorry)

Well now that silent mobius is done i got through
Slayers the movie




then i started in on the taihoschouzo(your under arrest) OVAs and TV show soundtracks

An example form the OVA




The voice actress Sakiko Tamagawa does a fantastic enka song on the seond ^V show soundtrack but i cannot seem to find it online...

a friend of mine made me discover this strange old french band, they sound quite unique though!

I've been playing Cyberpunk 2077 in all its unoptimized glory for a while now, and I had a heck of a time hunting down this song, the best in the soundtrack:

Christmas playlist editon!

Bastard chirstmas/akuma no merry christmass-seikima II

playlist update

Short one this time.

Just finished the best soundtrack to the best streetfighter II movie made-the 1994 animated one, that is the original japanese soundtrack not that travesty they replaced it with for the US release.

One of my favorite tracks-CRY-the original fight music between chun li and vega in her apartment. it very much reminds me of the gregg/allman brothe band style/vocals. particularly the song i posted previously for the black rain movie soundtrack they did.




An instrumental track from the same soundtrack.

Another of my game soundtracks

Soul edge(soul caliber US) opening-edge of soul

In the same vain as the wagakki bands fusion of traditional and modern instruments




The we have the fantastic Sol Bianca soundtracks

First the original 2 part OVA from 1990 with a closing theme that is on my top 20 favorite anime vocal songs list-makenaide-never give up




And the remake of the series Sol bianca the legacy a decade later-

I hope I haven't posted this before but listening to this right now. I like it! With the typical Sonic music cheesiness (stereo-EO!) and I really like violins in the beginning.

Bronski Beat - Smalltown Boy

Not many new albums in 2020 for obvious reasons (no tour support)

But i did just get this one in-
The only remaining band of the groups still doing the gothenburge sweden style melodic deathmetal.-dark tranquility

the new album MOMENT





Now that is done, back to working through my soundtrack albums

In the Ts while not a huge fan of the show i had to get the soundtrack for trigun

Since Covid started I have been working from home so my Spotify has been working overtime to find me new awesome music to listen to.



The main riff is so filthy and I love it for that reason.



The whole Metal Commando album is pretty great.



I love how blistering fast and heavy this song is.

and now to some of the oddities and obscurities Spotify has suggested for me.












All of the Kryptos albums are amazing.

Deathklaat

I have the new primal fear album on the way, waiting on it to come in the mail.

Here is a list of my favorite groups, many i am sure you know, but perhaps you may see something there you have not heard-

I almost forgot i messed up and didn't post these japanese hard rock/metal goddesses in my list

Now we come to

The BEST transformers movie with the best soundtrack (granted arrival to earth was a great piece from the first live film but...this is the classic that started it all).

TRANSFORMERS THE MOVIE 1986


The theme




and of course one cannot go on without the original version of "the touch" by stan bush, a;sop known as optimus primes theme.

I have to correct you there - its not the best transformers film


It's the only transformers film

Acqua Fragile, Mass media Stars.

It's a bit of an old one.

If someone doesn't know who is Giorgio Moroder, I simply will tell he is the man who created the OST of Flashdance, Top Gun, Never Ending Story and behind the first successes of Donna Summer.

One of my favourite video game OSTs, my favourite pieces of music are Undertale and Megalovania, of course. Toby Fox is a damned genius in my eyes.

First a sad note-
R.I.P. Alexi





In happier news i also got in my copy of metal commando from primal fear-solid as always

Now continuing some other greatness-

I managed to score the limited edition bot-con transformers the movie special double CD-




CD 1 is a full stan bush album including remakes of "the touch" and "dare" along with some new stuff-my personal favorite is ground zero




The second CD is the full and complete background music collection (31 tracks)

Like starscreams coronation music.

Trying to learn this on piano, lol, think I went a bit ambitious for learning my first song, but slowly getting through it, luckily it begins pretty simplish before going insane later that makes me wonder if it's even humanly possible to play, but then I see some dude able to play it so, yeah lol

Well i keep moving closer to the end of my anime collection of soundtrack albums but i still have a ways to go even if i am up to the "u"

With (revolutionary girl) Utena.

One of the more strange anime series i got addicted to with a great soundtrack


Here is a bit of the battle music




And a bit of the orchestration

the next one is a game inspired anime series for dark stalkers under the title-vampire hunters.

I was happy to see how they animated in the attack combos from the video game.

i have moved into the "W"s now with the weathering continent movie soundtracks for some epic high fantasy style music




And of course witch hunter robin, such a great show with a giant plot twist(and a killer opening theme)
