Yea, it's hard to beat The Black Mages at remixes. Either way, I know I'd want to be in on that if the arrangers decide to incorporate vocals (hint hint, Metal Man and Jason)
Maybe this is just me, but if we're planning to do vocals for the aria tracks, wouldn't it make sense to lump them all together so the styles match, as well as singers?
My favorite videogame soundtrack outside of Final Fantasy is hands down the original Ratchet & Clank game. It had sort of a synth meets big Brass band feel to it. Demon's Souls and Dark Souls are great tool.
Thanks Archangel! Awesome quote, btw.
And Dom, I love any videogame with a good story. Final Fantasy is one, of course, as well as Ratchet And Clank. Dark Souls is my newest favorite game, but I'll play pretty much anything, except GTA, tbh.
Update: I finally got some new performance material on youtube that's more current than that ol video, and better quality. Enjoy!
Lonely Town, from On the Town:
All For the Best, from Godspell (Judas, not Jesus):
I think "Sonic vs Knuckles ~ North Wind" could also be a great vocal track; it even has a melody line built into the score that just sounds like singing. Just thought I'd share.
Looks like a fun album, though with 3 whole albums of Sonic music, I have a feeling that this might take a back seat to some of the others already in production with less attention on the site. Regardless, if anyone does pick up stuff from this album, and need a singer for it, I'm your man!
The reason we don't have any is because there is a Paper Mario album in the works; Flat Notes. Go check out the thread here: http://ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=31725
