#VGMWednesday

Since the Music of Square Enix concert in Chicago was just held on Mother's Day, and there were two songs from the Mana series by Hiroki Kikuta played there, this week I'm sharing one from Trials of Mana. Here's Jeffery Hayat's arrangement of "Female Turbulence" for #OCReMix album of Seiken Densetsu 3's soundtrack (Songs of Darkness and Light released before Collection of Mana gave the game an English title). The song is used for Altena, the Kingdom of Magic, where you start with Angela before her mother the queen takes their poor relationship and makes it worse. I would still advise people to start the game with Kevin for their first time, but Angela's opening does make a more serious impression and the music gives you a taste of what's to come.

This track was on my morning playlist and I listened to it 4 times.

I haven't posted much yet from Double Wing Damage, the #OCReMix Star Fox album project, but more songs were posted to the site including The Vodoú Queen's drum 'n bass plus voice samples from Star Fox 64's Area 6. "Playing Crazy (with the 6th Blockade)" doesn't feature the creator's own vocals, unlike much of the work on the FF8 ablum SeeDs of Pandora, and it doesn't rely tooooo much on, "do a barrel roll" but you do get the voice lines that fit on an N64 cartridge (two cartridges if you count Fox's Super Smash Bros. lines) telling a story of the fight towards the last planet, Venom.

I remember hearing about the Silver Surfer soundtrack from watching #OCReMix Google hangouts, OCR Talkback, and Larry Oji (Liontamer) being such a proponent of it. Only 2 stage songs, but I think I prefer the second slightly over the first.

DarkeSword (note the e) is a cool person who became the new administrator of #OCReMix after djpretzel stepped down and his only deviousness is tricking people into making more Mega Man music.

DarkSword (note the lack of an e) is something very different and not cool at all being used to steal information from iOS users.

So what I'm saying is know about the not-cool-one to protect yourself. But, since it's also #VGMWednesday here's some music by the cool one.

My pick for today is another from the #OCReMix mix flood for the Star Fox album Double Wing Damage, because... klezmer punk. I don't think there's anything more to say.

I'm still going through the new #OCReMix Star Fox album, Double Wing Damage. There was a mix flood on the site and amongst those tracks is "Dark Star." Taken from a 5 second source composed by Hajime Hirasawa for the first game, as one of the judges put it...

"Xaleph does it again with another Xpansive performance. Xpanding upon the smallest amount of material and making it more interesting and more developed than the original. You have the Xcellent knack of knowing just when to change or add things to prevent the piece from getting boring and stale. Every time a pattern/loop feels like it's about to get to that point you change it up.

The orchestral section in the middle was a great deviation and not what I Xpected to hear in the middle of your dark psytrance style. Production is great as always, crystal clear.

Xcellent work."
