    Oh my gosh I really liked the Laura Mvula song. Just added her to my Spotify stuff.

    Lightning Strike was pretty! I don't think it's anything I'd listen to super-often, I've always found the Snow Patrol guy's voice doesn't sit totally well with me (I'm really picky about male vocalists' voices I have no idea why).

    Unngh I love Final Fantasy music (generally side-eye at XIII) and particularly their chanting-choir pieces. HOLY GOD this one is epic. <3

    Throwing more tunes at you, hope that's okay!

    Daft Punk's "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" and A-ha's "Take On Me" arranged for orchestra.

    Chrono Cross OST: Dream of Shore Near Another World. The game was a bit of a mess but Chrono Cross had an amazing OST.

    Oldschool: Bush, "Letting the Cables Sleep". Pretty down-tempo for Bush, much more ballad-y than most of their stuff, but something really heartwrenching about it to me.

    Faunts, "Das Malefitz" (Ending theme from Mass Effect 3). Awesome instrumental song all by itself but also I will never be over Mass Effect ever.

    Yeah Yeah Yeahs, "Maps". Discovered this one through one of the Rock Band games and I just adore this son.

      Yeah all of Laura Mvula's stuff is really super catchy, I just discovered her the other day myself and I'm in love @_@

      GAAAASPS, HOW DARE YOU SPEAK ILL OF XIII IN MY PRESENCE???!!? (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
      NEED I REMIND YOU OF SABER'S EDGE OR FANG'S THEME??
      I loved the game and the characters and the OST and everything, oops...
      but yeah the FFXIV ost is gonna be bomb ;_; check out this guy's cover of the boss theme, so good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zR3GdK8j-wY

      I have the orchestrated "Harder Better Faster Stronger", I'm crazy about it!! The only thing that bothers me is the very end, there's this weird jarring part, but otherwise I have it on repeat on my ipod all the time >_>

      Love love love the chrono cross OST as well, I used to lie in bed with my headphones on and listen to "Another Guldove" before I fell asleep, hahah.

      love the links @_@ esp "Das Malefitz", sooo pretty! I uh... I couldn't play Mass Effect dodges bullets
      "Maps" is super good too, it sounds sooo familiar? Hmm

        Hahaha sorry. XIII didn't go over well for me, but you're right, there was some decent music in it. And I loved Fang so much, if the game had just been 100% Fang it would've been okay by me, she was like a Square-Enix version of Xena.

        Eeee I can't tell you how many times I re-watched the intro movie to Chrono Cross just to listen to "Time's Scar" over and over ugggh that song.

        Well, I guess I'll forgive you Mass Effect if you forgive me FFXIII, heh.

        • Link

          Naw, in all seriousness I understand why people didn't like XIII. And you're right, Fang is EXCELLENT... I can't actually choose a favorite character but she's definitely up there as far as FF ladies go. <3

          oh my gosh, back in the day I had a really shitty download of the Chrono Cross opening and I'd watch it all the time. It still gives me the shivers! <3

          And that sounds like a good plan. XD Forgiven, then!

    I liked "That's Alright" and "The Lightning Strike," but I have to be honest in that the only reason I liked the "The Lightning Strike" was its use of the 8 pointed star in the video... I'm a sucker for imagery traditionally associated with me. Call me vain if you want, because you're right in this case.
