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.

For #VGMWednesday I'm thinking about the cool, smooth, electronic tone of the menu music from Mirror's Edge.

I absolutely loved this game, the look, the feel, the sounds. I remember playing it before I had a graphics card, and then when I upgraded and saw the PhysX flags and tarps everywhere I thought, "That's it, video games will never look better than this."

NEOTOKYO° is a video game I will likely never play. It's a multiplayer Half-Life 2 total conversion mod with a cyberpunk aesthetic that borrows liberally from Ghost in the Shell. Honestly, it looks pretty neat.

But that's not important. What's important is that the soundtrack is an absolutely fantastic blend of electronica and orchestral bits, and you should definitely listen to it. So, for #VGMWednesday, I put forth "Scrap I/O" from Neotokyo GSDF.

if you could float on a cloud, this is what it would sound like. #VGMWednesday

As we move into May, we leave the Sonic vocal tracks behind. A part of me is a little sad, but I am sure Sonic will return to an Ishambard #VGMWednesday in due time.

Today's game is one I have vague memories of, mostly of seeing it at a friend's. He had a chipped PS1, and had a bunch of pretty obscure PS1 games. Ones that stuck in my mind were Legend of Legaia and Soul Blade.

Soul Blade being the first game in the Soul Calibur series. Called Soul Edge in Japan but Soul Blade internationally due to avoid on-going shenanigans relating EDGE games and their attempts to trademark anything with edge in the name. At least, that is my understanding...

What i wasn't aware of though, was that Soul Edge had a vocal opening theme 『The Edge of Soul』

There is something about this opening that I love, perhaps it is the opening narration.

The slow jazz tunes from the Mouse P.I. For Hire OST are so 🔥

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.

For #VGMWednesday I'm going to ramp up those anxiety levels and hit you with some of the Undercaves music from ECCO the Dolphin.

One of the early levels in the game that gives you a glimpse of just how tough it's gonna be to succeed as a paradox busting, Atlantis exploring, prehistoric menacing, alien exterminating, sea going mammal
