Layton fanmade music album
Yay! I've finally finished my grand project, which was to create an album with original tracks inspired by the Professor Layton series. There are 25 tracks in total, each focusing on a location, character(s) or event from the games and movie. There are a wide range of genres - jazz, rock, drum & bass & orchestral - so hopefully there's something for everybody. Please have a listen when you have a spare moment and tell me what you all think! :)
Spoilers for Unwound/Lost Future and Eternal Diva in the descriptions.
Track descriptions
1: London Life (Jazz)
At the end of a hard day's work solving mysteries all over London, there's nothing like a cream tea, a newspaper and a smooth jazz song to take one's mind off things.
2: Napoleon of Crime (Soundtrack)
This track came about as a result of reading Employment Opportunity by SamCyberCat, and explores the AU scenario: what if the professor was a criminal mastermind ruling over London?
3. What Lies Within ~ Herzen Castle (Soundtrack)
For Halloween! Because a spooky castle needs a suitably spooky introduction.
4: Pursuit (Soundtrack)
Descole makes a speedy getaway.
5: Claire (Orchestral)
Layton plays the piano and thinks about his lost love. :(
6: Sky Battle for London (Orchestral)
A fast-paced air battle/chase between Layton and Don Paolo, high above central London and with the river Thames down below.
7: Gilded Seven Casino 1 (Jazz)
A track about the Family run casino from the third game, one of two tracks.
8: Laytonmobile 1 (Rock)
Layton is in his iconic car, on a road trip around the English countryside.
9: Cucumber Sandwiches (Rock & Roll)
Flora attempts to cook lunch, but fails miserably, and so ends up making...
10: Jailbirds (Blues)
Clive and Dimitri do some time in prison for their crimes.
11: Professor of Archaeology (Gypsy Jazz)
Layton is one busy person! This is in a Parisian swing style originating from the 1930s.
12: La Famiglia (Italian Folk)
It's not easy being a Family thug, not when you've got an ogre like Bostro hovering over you all the time.
13. The Spectre Attacks (Soundtrack)
This is... what I think is going on in the cover art for the fourth game. Have to wait until Christmas to actually play this game, though.
14: The Phantom Town (Orchestral)
The town of Folsense, where it's always night.
15: Piccadilly Circus (Latin Jazz)
Another mystery sees Layton, Luke and Flora travelling around London's West End, where music, dance, theatre and bright lights prevail above all else.
16: Gilded Seven Casino 2 (Jazz)
Second track about the casino in the Lost Future.
17: Laytonmobile 2 (Rock)
Time for another road trip in the trusty red car.
18: Man on a Mission (Soundtrack)
Inspector Grosky is the Duracell bunny - once on a case, he keeps going and going. And going.
19: What Lies Within ~ Pandora's Box (Orchestral)
What does the box hold? Death? Despair? Destruction? Or... hope?
20: The Final Puzzle (Soundtrack)
Layton goes up against the clock in a deadly puzzle. Named after "The Final Problem" Sherlock Holmes story.
21: A True Gentleman (Drum & Bass)
Luke will do anything to prove that he's a true gentleman. Inspired by his epic performance on top of the Detragiganto towards the end of Eternal Diva.
22: Altava Heights (Drum & Bass)
Emmy kicks arse. The end.
23: Tomorrow's World (Dubstep)
Dedicated to all the engineers/scientists/inventors of the Layton world. Named after a BBC TV programme which used to show the latest science and technology.
24: The Spectre's Call (Dubstep)
What is the secret behind the spirit of Misthallery?
25: Broken Man (Soundtrack)
It was bitter desperation that drove Dimitri to kidnap those scientists.
