Prasa_U. Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 I wonder if anyone knows any games with oriental-influenced melodies/themes (and I don't mean the cheesy kind, playing random pentatonic keys) but with a nice flavour, style. Preferable something dramatic, with strong melody. I'm thinking of doing a piano solo based on this kind of a theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 There's a few tracks from Uncharted Waters 2, I think maybe Soukaigi, a few of the Onimushas, and if that fails, you could go for the cheese and do something from super ninja brothers. I'm sure there are way more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prasa_U. Posted June 19, 2007 Author Share Posted June 19, 2007 I'll look into those. Any other suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickenwarlord Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 There's at least one or two songs like that on the Bahamut Lagoon OST. Chinese Tea from Embodiment of a Scarlet Devil is pretty alright too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harpendum Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 The Legend of Dragoon may not have what you're looking for, but the soundtrack is quite inspiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nec5 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I have no idea if this is what you mean, but you can try Skies of Arcadia (Yafutoma's theme and a couple of others). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ifirit Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 I suggest that you listen to the elevator music from Level 3 of Midway's Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy. Of course, the same music is used for all the bonus levels and training. The song itself is a cover of the game's main theme, a song performed by Cold. Although, there may be an outcry of copyright issues and all, the song was actually composed for the game by the game's composer/sound producer, Vince Pontarelli. The music takes the main theme, which is very harsh and grating, and creates a much more subdued, lush, yet emotive instrumental. I find the arrangement itself to be wonderful, but the gimick of making it sound like it's coming from an elevator speaker detracts from the experience. I've got to get around to actually ripping/recording the music from the game sometime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Less Ashamed Of Self Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Definitely check out the Nobunaga's Ambition series as well... I was introduced to it in this very requests section around 2 years ago and it's remained one of my favourites ever since; Yoko Kanno, the same composer who worked on anime soundtracks like Escaflowne, Cowboy Bebop, Ghost in the Shell and also the previously mentioned Uncharted Waters games.
