Songs

Here you have some songs that I like from the videogame's industry.

Disclaimer: I do not own the audio nor the video, no copyright infringement intended.

David Wise - Stickerbrush Symphony. I love Nintendo's usage of leitmotivs at their games. You will find this version in Donkey Kong Country 2, and recurrently over the saga. I am in absolute love with this song. Listen it on your own risk, as it's highly likely you will fall in love with it as well.


Motoi Sakuraba - Broken Balance. This piece found at Eternal Sonata is easily one of the best songs ever made for a videogame.


Jack Wall - Suicide Mission. Even if Mass Effect 2 may be my less favorite of the series (I love the first one), this piece while Shepard rallies their allies is pure gold.


Poets of the Fall - The Poet and the Muse. Alan Wake at its purest. It's here as a tribute to the consistence of its theme rather than the value of the song.


Akira Yamaoka - Theme of Laura. Silent Hill 2 is one of the best games I've ever played in terms of Sound Design. And probably the best Horror game.


Akira Yamaoka - Intro Silent Hill 1. The awesome mandolin is cool and unique enough to recognize Silent Hill 1 just by listening to this Intro.


Kōhei Tanaka - The One Who Hates Man. I love how magnificently the violins push tension up on this song found at the masterpiece Alundra.


Kōhei Tanaka - Requiem. Found at Legend of Legaia and Alundra. So touching.


Kan Gao - For River ...billions of lighthouses...stuck at the far end of the sky
