just found out about this, new arranged versions of various earthbound tunes from keiichi suzuki himself released this year. he provides vocals too

ufo, Sunday, 17 October 2021 06:33 (two years ago) link

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJMnWEezS8E

probably the most proto-earthbound i've heard from suzuki's previous work

ufo, Sunday, 17 October 2021 11:28 (two years ago) link

i love this video that highlights one of hip tanaka's idiosyncratic compositional techniques

missingNO, Sunday, 17 October 2021 14:41 (two years ago) link

this song by miki nakatani and ryuichi sakamoto has a certain ethereal earthbound-y quality, i think

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1ShKUHmnQU

missingNO, Sunday, 17 October 2021 14:50 (two years ago) link

oh, that's blocked for me but now I'm curious. I love that first nakatani album that sakamoto produced. which one? "chronic love"?

(⊙_⊙?) (original bgm), Sunday, 17 October 2021 19:30 (two years ago) link

oh that's annoying, this one should work

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNKjgrE1G0I

song in question is track 2, 雨だれ ("amadare" ["raindrops"])

i think this is her best album, futuristic micropop w/ impressive production work from sakamoto and nobukazu takemura. love the peak y2k aesthetic / gen-x soft club cover art

missingNO, Monday, 18 October 2021 03:29 (two years ago) link

I literally just came here to post a track lol

^Excellent pull, has both the longing sweetness of something like "Smiles and Tears" AND a touch the weirdo electronica that soundtrack does so well. Also thank you for making me aware George Riley has a new album out!
