Alright! So I've got a bunch of music from Vidja Games, and oh boy are they just great. No theme this time around, not that it maters. There's lots of variety in all the music presented here, as well as variety in the series. It's al just dandy so here's your music!
In-Game Theme - Batman: Caped Crusader
This piece fits Batman very well, utilizing chip-tune to create a very adventurous and somewhat sinister tone. It's very catchy and switches from intense moments to more calm parts. It builds up in tension to the point of becoming very intense before dropping off into the calm. It's a very unique and interesting feeling the atmosphere provides. It's action-packed with catchy melodies and just ripe with that sinisterness you'd expect to be in something with Batman.
Ocean Loader 3
While technically not from a game, this was on a Commodore 64, so it's close enough. This piece is just heavy with atmosphere, providing that really intense and solemn feeling. It's catchy too, making you want to just re-listen over and over again. It's excellent chip-tune melodies are beautiful and each separate one compliments the rest of them, making it all the more beautiful. It's a somewhat action-y piece while always maintaining that solemn feel, which works wonders for the atmosphere.
Song of Healing - Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
Oh, what an elegantly simple piece this is. It uses only two melodies of a piano at a time, making it simple, but the way it was composed makes it ever so elegant. It's atmosphere is somewhat welcoming yet oppressively dark at the same time, throwing the emotions into a weird stalemate. It seems to tell a story of it's own, without using lyrics. It's a heavy song if you can manage to just drown yourself in it, blocking out everything but that stalemate of emotions.
Main Menu Theme - Super Smash Flash
Super Smash Flash is a game I will eventually get to reviewing, but for time being I'm gonna start with this. Utilizing an entire orchestra, this theme really brings home a unique sort of triumphant to the atmosphere. It's really catchy, making you go along with it in your head for quite some time. This style of triumphant is mixed with some adventurous and rather dark tones throughout the piece, certainly feeling new and fresh. It's as if it's preparing you for one heck of a journey.
Go Shanghai! - Maple Story
Even though I've never played Maple Story, I can't help but get an extreme sense of nostalgia from this piece. It makes me reflect on my past with a positive light, making it seem like it was all a grand adventure just to get to this point. It's bold, triumphant, and beautiful. Using an array of instruments, both traditional instruments like the drums, guitar, and piano, as well as electronic ones. It's very uplifting and fast paced without losing it's specific style of elegance. It's just great to listen to. So do it.
So I hope you could handle all of the intense awesomeness from all these pieces. Next VGMC WILL have a theme, the theme being the game Robot Roller Derby Disco Dodgeball. I'll be doing the entire soundtrack with the exception of 8-bit Adventure (I've already did that in the VGMC 18). Get hyped, because that soundtrack is rad!
