 Topic: Camel = video game music
Posted: June 23 2005 at 15:26 |
I actually posted about this on another music board a long time ago, but no one even responded.
I'm a huge fan of RPG soundtracks as well, and I found that the last track of Moonmadness, Lunar Sea, is similar to the point of plagiarism to a song in The Secret of Mana. Obviously, the SoM song being the copier.

This is true. Yasunori is on a level with Nobuo, perhaps even better.
I'm a big fan of the Metroid soundtracks. I'm not sure who made them but he's a genius with atmosphere.

Heh, I also like the Chrono Cross OST, and the music for Final Fantasy
VII. Also, despite it being midi and old, who can't love the music from
Chrono Trigger? I'm actually quite suprised, I would never have thought
people on a prog forum would like game music. I definatly thought I was
in a minority there, looks like I was quite mistaken.

Woah...if Snow Goose sounds like OoT count me in! Better yet would be MM or LA, but beggars can't be choosers, huh?

Yup, can definitely see Snow Goose as RPG music. The RPG that I found
to have a great soundtrack was Morrowind: Elder Scrolls III. The themes
just kind of swell in and out as you walk around the land. Logged an
easy 100 hours into that game and never tired of the tunes.
Also, excerpts from PFs Echoes would make for a great cutscene.

I do hear a bit of video game music in Camel ... but for me it's mainly the post-Raindances albums (Breathless up to Stationary Traveller)
but some of ideal VGM comes in the form of songs like Whad'ya Say and Falling In Love on Uriah Heep's Fallen Angel album ... Hensley's keyboards on that one are the perfect arcade soundtrack ...

I was trying to think of what their music reminds me of. Now I know.
You're absolutely right. I could turn the sound off when playing a Super Nintendo RPG (when I'm bored, usually) and just play that. I probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

I once read an interview with the Japanese gentleman that composes the
Final Fantasy music and among his top influences were Camel, Focus, and
Emerson Lake & Palmer. In the International Game Developer's
Conference mag. :)

Speaking of video game music, I always thought Gryphons Red Queen album would be a great Zelda soundtrack.

Wow, I've always thought about the Final Fantasy series when I listened to Camel. It's good to see I'm not crazy as others think the same thing. Very odd.

Great symphonic/ambient/fusion/jazz prog in Starcraft. Very complex music.

You are right on! There's something so eerie and memorable about the music to SH2. The sad & spooky theme that begins after 'Maria' gets killed at the end of the Brookhaven Hospital level is my favorite. SH2 also happens to be one of my favorite games ever...
Halo2 has a good soundtrack as well (a little Steve Vai and a lot of great ambient symphonic stuff) and the soundtrack for Final Fantasy 8 includes one of my favorite female singers, Faye Wong (though I don't really like the song she does). |
yay another SH fan! their soundtracks are great! sh3 and 4 are great games with great ost's but i found number 1 very lacking

Agreed 
I own some music composed by Frank Klepacki (featured in the Command&Conquer series).
Some of them are very proggish, but not all, i'm afraid.
Does someone know the soundtrack from red alert 1?
Lots of prog related music there

I adore Nobuo Uematsu. His soundtracks to the final fantasy games have just amazing. I was pretty disappointed when he wasn't really involved with the music of Final Fantasy X and X-2.
