Mario Paint Composer

Believe it or not, I love Mario Paint ^^

I enjoy remaking my favorite songs, ranging from hip-hop and rap, to upbeat techno and trance. I’ve been doing a lot of composing lately too. Anyways, I might put up mp3 links if I feel the need to, and I think I’ll make a tutorial, or kind of a ‘behind the scenes’ thing. My stuff is mostly on youtube under my username ‘Thepillows93′. Hey to anybody who I’ve mischievously directed from YouTube >:)

The quality of this disc is one of the best I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to, and the music is even better. Any lounge/hip-hop/jazz lover would thoroughly enjoy this disc. Even if the show wasn’t up to your standards, the music is astounding.

It has one of the longest track list in the Samurai Champloo soundtrack series and includes 8 tracks from the producer of the well known opening ‘Battlecry’, Nujabes.

Heavy percussion and bass is mandatory in each track, along with repeating melody lines, matching with the mood of the show itself. Again, there is no need to like or watch the show to enjoy this soundtrack, because I personally didn’t watch it all that much either. Sites such as ‘YouTube’(r) and ‘Google Video’(r) have the majority of these songs posted. Give them a listen before you buy this soundtrack. It might not be your cup of tea after all.

Good Musicianship. It’s the style, but sometimes, I think it repeats one too many times.

9/10 overall, personally.

Samurai Champloo

Samurai Champloo thread is now up. I’m starting with an Anime, regardless of the site name . First review, ‘Impression’.

Hey everyone. I’m basically here to talk about and review game/anime soundtracks and the like. Sometimes I think that people don’t give the music or the composer enough credit. Imagine playing a game or watching an Anime, and only having talking and sounds. No music, including the opening or ending. Personally, I would find it boring. I will mostly talk about recent games and Anime, but I will also cover old ones, because some soundtracks are just classic.
