Ultramega Ok! recording!

Symphonic Fantasies - Secret of Mana
Symphonic Legends - Pikmin (Variations on a Map Theme)

Yes these are the only ones for today since the Secret of Mana one is seventeen minutes long. BUT IT'S SO GOOD YOU GUYS YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE THAT SECRET OF MANA ONE
just the fact it includes prophecy alone would be enough since that's one of my absolute favorite tracks from the game, but then it went and incorporated ceremony too! Actually no wait, the Dark Lich theme, they both sort of have the same base BUT STILL. I especially love the Dark Lich theme, it has this awesome chanting whispering in it that totally reminds me of that one song in Young Sherlock Holmes that played when they're mummifying that one girl.
BUT MAN IT'S ALL SO GREAT all the transitions are so smooth and creative and the main theme weaves in and out and tjasdsgaghy I love it so much in fact here's the original song file because I just want to share

THE PIKMIN ONE IS ALSO AWESOME even tho it doesn't cover a lot of themes like the Secret of Mana one, but it still gets really creative with the base material and even drops it into this ominous scary sound at one point like when you're walking too close to Bulborbs and ajsdhghhgjh i love the music in that game so much
I LOVE ALL THIS MUSIC SO MUCH

What else what else... Oh I can spam a few links I guess, haha.

Bruno and Clara covering the Ponyo theme this is so adorable omg. I haven't even seen Ponyo but man. So cute. So cute. Related, but it makes me sad when people are all I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THERE'S AN ADULT MALE V3 VOICE and it's like THERE IS A MALE V3 VOICE, IT'S BRUNO! REMEMBER HIM??? Poor guy. MasterVocaloid at least loves working with him.

Eventually I finally got bored and went looking into Oliver stuff to see if anyone's done anything with him. In the process I've found out that his voice really just does nothing for me, he just sounds kind of muffled and unclear. BUT PERHAPS IT'S JUST ME. That doesn't mean that some of the songs people come up with for him aren't kinda neat though. A Feast of Citizen is nine and a half minutes long and is sort of prog-rockish in that there's a ton of random solos and guitars and organs and sometimes abrupt style shifts so the song goes through a bunch of different moods. It's kinda neat though. Oliver doesn't sound too bad either.
That same composer also did another song (ten minutes long this time!) with Oliver called Sometime that's also pretty neat.

SeeU seems to be having more luck with original songs than Bruno and Clara, which is nice since I was kinda pulling for her, haha. I particularly liked this remix of Arirang since it's very much in the style of the 90s DDR Korean mix songs like Ba Kkwo or Wa or Bu Dam or Sung Suk WHICH I CANNOT RESIST AS YOU PROBABLY KNOW
On the total opposite side of the spectrum is this cover of 片翼の鳥, tho mostly I just like the backing music, haha.

I love Harry Mason so much. Related, this is surprisingly satisfying.
NEW HYADAIN SONG NEW HYADAIN SONG AAAAAAAA i love his stuff haha. people are whining that he isn't doing megaman remixes anymore. HYADAIN DOES WHAT HE WANTS, YOU'RE JUST ALONG FOR THE RIDE
Liquid Snake wants to sell you something
Edgeworth and Franziska finally have it out

OKAY THAT'S ENOUGH

I also posted this at dreamwidth with reluctant ambivalence. Comment here or there, don't matter to me!
