The Music's fathom
Earlier I was listening to a rendition of Arvo Pärt's Fratres and Tabula Rasa. I listened through Fratres and my favourite part of Tabula Rasa. But then I really wasn't in the mood for it - I knew this because I was anxious for it to finish, so I could listen to the next album I had in mind.
I cut it out of my playlist and put on Ókind's Heimsendi 18. It had been a while since I'd listened to it, so I appreciated hearing it. Still not exactly what I was in the mood for.
Minibosses? This rock band plays pretty much only old videogame music from games of the 8-bit and 16-bit era. I listened their version of the Metroid Theme and a few others, but still a bit to much noisy rock for my current mood.
Now, TeXhnolyze. That's a very interesting anime, from the same core of creative talent that brought us Serial Experiments Lain. I've only watched 8 out of 22 episodes of it, but it's really picking up where I am right now. I'm just afraid I'd spend all my time watching it and not studying if I delved back into it now.
The music in the series is very interesting. And it can complement my studying instead of distracting me from it. The music is done by the same guy that worked on the music for the movie Jin-Roh, if you've heard of that.
Like the show, it's somewhat experimental. Somewhat tribal too - one song features distorted beats and an e-guitar melody, and a noise that's constant through the song, but slowly morphs to the voice of a vocalist sporting rap-tistic lines, you can only hear what he's saying near the end.
Listening to that song however made me remember an album that would be perfect to listen to, in continuation of the TeXhnolyze feel (maybe skipping a few of the less interesting songs): The Diablo II Soundtrack.
And yes. The mood is perfect for listening to the music from Diablo II.
It's not too sunny outside, cloudy, which means my room at the back of the house with a window to the East is rather dark now that it's 20:35. The sun's not going to set yet, but in a country with a more normal sun-cycle I'd say it feels like after 17 and maybe a bit close to six in the evening.
It seems to have rained a bit, or the air outside is a bit moist, so the grass outside has a vibrant dark-green colour, and sparkles oh so slightly. The bushes outside have started to sprout buns, so they're kind of a mix green and brown right now.
I have one lamp on my desk lighting up my book, and just about an hour ago I had a good cup of coffee with my own steamed milk and all.
Yes, the setting is just right for the music of Diablo II.
