could you guys recommend me to anything similar to that katamari song i posted? is that a particular style? i hear lots of j-pop but have never really associated it with anything mentally/aurally aside from figuring it not a too distant cousin from that "gee gee gee" k-pop song.

i was at an arcade last week and played this korean rhythm game. most of the music was fairly forgettable but i liked this one (despite the lyrics making no sense).

recently I fell in love with Machinarium and its great soundtrack:

...which you can download as a bonus after you buy the game!

ah! been looking for the name of that game all over! i played the demo and dug it lots but couldn't justify paying the $10 asking at the time

I bought it back in August when it was a part of the 3rd Humble Bundle, would've been quite mad had I paid 10 bucks and then got stuck on a puzzle :x still - a wonderful game, worth buying on a nearest price drop it gets

Some Chrono Trigger songs are very sample worthy. Just realized Wiz Khalifa samples "Schala's theme" on never been:

This ones would make fine samples too:

Also love for Earthbound's Onett:

I really LOVE that lead! It is a Pulse Width modulated sound, (PWM). In addition, PWM is a technique used in modern ovens to regulate the heat in a high precicion (Often using micro controllers pulsing the element of the oven).

just saw a commercial for medal of honor warfighter that used ella fitzgerald's 'after you've gone' as background music. i'm guessing it's taking cues from games like bioshock and fallout (and maybe to some extent gears of war commercials too?) that deploys these really gorgeous 50s + 60s songs. i think they serve different purposes. in bioshock + fallout the music underlines a kinda of ambient nostalgia (fallout is a 50s cold war conception of the future, bioshock this randian dystopia). in medal of honor (+ i think similarly, tho not from same decades, "mad world" in gears of war commercials) made ironic stylistic contrast between action + fps hyper-violence to music's distant, restrained pop.

i think it would be really cool if there was a huge explosion of drawing on those decades for video game soundtracks - i think they made a nice shift in tempo from video game hyper-futurism

I still say that the mafia ii soundtrack is maybe the best 50's comp of all time.

LOVE this song. I learned how to play it and if you play it slow on a keyboard w a nice fake accordion setting it's super romantic.
