Ampersand Posted December 23, 2008 Author Share Posted December 23, 2008 First time I've heard an aria as a VGTune since FFVI.I don't know this game or its tone at all, so are the lyrics just random Italian words strung together? The lyrics to "Banson's Aria" are Italian music theory terms. Happy Holidays, ~ Gene R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SplinterOfChaos Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 So random Italian music theory words strung together? Reminds me of how Monty Python wrote the Dead Parrot sketch: with a thesaurus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwordBreaker Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 This is by far not the first game I have worked on. I started writing music and doing audio for games since about 1998. Worked on everything from obscure and unreleased "Golgotha" to just about everything that came out of EA | Tiburon for the past four and a half years including but not limited to "Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventures" which is the latest game I have worked on. Incidentally, this is my last title as an in-house EA composer / audio designer as I have recently left Tiburon in pursuit of another venture.~ Gene R. P.S. Thanks again for liking the soundtrack! Wow...it's kind of sad that I haven't heard of you until now. I don't buy a lot of EA games, ones from Tiburon included. Good luck on whatever you're pursuing, man. Hope it's closely related to composing for games 'cause I'd like to keep an eye on your future works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwordBreaker Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 http://ds.ign.com/articles/962/962480p2.html Reviving this thread 'cause reviews are starting to pop up. IGN gives it a 9/10 and calls it "The Best DS platformer since New Super Mario Bros." The music is obviously praised as well. "A nice mix of pseudo-orchestrated music and classic midi tones. Lance Banson’s music is legendary, and should be in every boss fight ever." "If I could have the music from Hatsworth's boss fight against Lance Banson (Sky Pirate Magazine's Handsomest Most Eligible Bachelor of the Year) playing on loop for every boss fight in any videogame ever, I would do it." The reviewer is referring to "Benson's Aria", which is my favorite track of the game. This is one of the rare moments in which I'm buying the game based on soundtrack feedback long ago from this thread. But luckily, reviewers are digging the Platforming/Puzzling hybrid. Mark your calendars to March 17th, people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eggwolio Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I downloaded this awhile ago and was curious as to why the tracks aren't numbered. Any chance we can get tracklisting so that I can number them myself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickenwarlord Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I would like to congratulate the composer. I bought this game as a present for my girlfriend because she liked the music, and she's having a blast with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
