7/10

It's in 7, which is awesome. Other than than, all right but not incredible.

Speaking of weird time signatures:

[johannhowitzer]

10/10.  A little overuse of crash cymbal, but as that's one of Jeremy Soule's mannerisms I can't really take points off for it.  I am also a sucker for a good snare drum part (such as the one I linked earlier in Super Nova's "Bio").  It's an affectation that the composer calls it 13/8, though - it's simpler to read in alternating measures of 7/8 and 6/8.  Reminds me of "Gale" from Chrono Cross in its rhythm.

Makes me want to run off and try 17/8 meter on something, but again, you can't really call it something more than what it really is, so the piece would actually have to defy measurement by simpler groupings.

*everyone scrambles to read the wikipedia article about time signatures*

Ya no kidding.  Way to nerd up music johann.

[johannhowitzer]

You're welcome.

That anime looked really interesting, before I saw the mechs and space ships. -.- Song itself: 9/10 Beautiful, and fit well with the clips, I particularly enjoyed the voice.

  The name of the song reminded me of this one though: A Song of Storm and Fire. (

That anime looked really interesting, before I saw the mechs and space ships.

The style may be anime, but that's no TV show, it's Xenogears, a masterpiece RPG by SquareSoft.  The story has no equal among video games, as far as I'm concerned, surpassing every Final Fantasy.  katethegreat's rendition of "Bonds of Sea and Fire" is set to bits of the prerendered cutscenes - which are actually few and far between, the game's that long and involved.

While mechs (the game calls them "Gears") are involved in combat, it isn't Gundam - the Gears are part of the story, but not a driving force for the most part.  None of the story takes place in space, apart from the prologue video.

Oh, I forgot to review, didn't I?  8/10, I guess - interesting mix of classical and rock elements, not your typical anime mash-up.  Fun, but not my favorite thing in the world.

Have you played any of the Tales games? Like Tales of Vesperia? They are pretty good story wise. I haven't played Xenogears but it sounds interesting. But yea, Tales of Vesperia sounds kinda similar in the style.

As for the song:
It's pretty nice, not exactly my style of music as I find classical stuff a tad boring but still nice all the same. 8/10 maybe?

Sick and Sad - Toh Kay

This just came out on November 22. Still waiting for my CD to arrive. Best musician in my opinion so far. Not a song he's made that I dislike.

[Firenotes]

Not my cup o' tea but a pretty decent tune 6/10

Bo Burnham - Oh Bo

[Contrary]

8/10

I love Bo Burnham, his lyrics are are really clever. The only thing is that he doesn't know how to write a bridge.

Another Bo Burnham song, a definite departure from his normal stuff but it's definitely my favourite.

not my style of songs, but certainly something I wouldn't mind listening to
I found the "p" "b" and "k/c" noises the mic caught annoying, but over all pretty good
7/10

7/10

Took a while to get going, but once it did it was a pretty cool piece.
