Thornquist Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Yeah, so 2007 has come and gone, and its generally agreed that it was a great year for video games overall. But with great games come great soundtracks, so I want you to list your top favorite VG-tracks that was made in 2007 (or for games that came out in 2007). A little info for each song would also be great. Here is mine (two, for now): 1. M4 Part II (Faunts) Game: Mass Effect Composer: http://www.myspace.com/faunts Description: The song that is played during the credits. It keeps a simple, but catchy drum beat with a awesome electric gitar that plays the whole song. Also got a very monotonous voice that sings some cool lyrics. The song last over 8 minutes, which I find maybe a little to long, but this still is my favorite VG track from 2007. 2. Gusty Garden Game: Super Mario Galaxy Composer: Mahito Yokota Description: The track for the Gusty Garden galaxy. A beautiful up-lifting tune that really fits the game perfectly. The main tune is carried by violins and flutes, with a guitar in the background. The song builds nicely and adds trumpets. On the weak side, it just lasts 2.08 mins, which I find too little for a song this great. Nonetheless, a very close second place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcubalis Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I agree with those. I wrote a "grip" of reviews last year, so I have a lot of favorites! Excuse the long list in advance, but I think if it opens up people's eyes to something new and obscure, it's worth it. "I think" Artist: Keiichi Sugiyama Album: LUMINES remixes WINTER Review: http://www.music4games.net/Review_Display.aspx?id=135 Note: Upbeat chiptune with electronic vocals. "813" Artist: Hiroki Kikuta Album: Alphabet Planet Review: http://www.music4games.net/Review_Display.aspx?id=134 Note: Moody atmospheric piece, different for Kikuta. "Iron Footfalls" and "Gates of Azura" Artist: Jeremy Soule Album: Guild Wars: Eye of the North Original Soundtrack Review: http://www.music4games.net/Review_Display.aspx?id=87 Note: Amazing album with amazing music. One of my favorites of 2007. Some of Soule's most epic, realistic work using sample libraries as opposed to a live orchestra. "The Office" Artist: Jared Emerson-Johnson Album: Sam and Max Season One Soundtrack Review: http://www.music4games.net/Review_Display.aspx?id=86 Note: Jazz! Catchy, memorable theme that I won't forget any time soon. "The Looten Duke" Artist: Michael Bross Album: Music From Oddworld Stranger's Wrath Vol. 1 Review: http://www.music4games.net/Review_Display.aspx?id=81 Note: Twangy western track, epic buildup. "Netherstorm" Artist: Matt Uelmen Album: World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade Original Soundtrack Review: http://www.music4games.net/Review_Display.aspx?id=69 Note: Gritty ambiance with wailing electric guitars and lots of distortion. "Cite de Reboldoeux" Artist: Kim Junsung Album: Granado Espada Original Soundtrack Volume 1 Review: http://www.music4games.net/Review_Display.aspx?id=64 Note: Absolutely gorgeous piano concerto.
