Strangely, the traffic to this site hasn’t dipped since it’s gone inactive, and the download count on every item on the front page have kept rising. Sweet – well, keep coming, because things are looking up here on my end. For now, a song I really like lately that isn’t from a game:
There’s a subset of the Overclocked remixes I love, that I don’t appreciate for their original source material at all, but just as an interesting song all on its own. This is one of those, though the source (Final Fantasy X’s People of the North Pole) does become visible in the later parts of the song. This is a solid electronica piece, with a bouncey “techno beat” along with “techno piano” that manages to sound laidback and thoughtful enough to avoid an actual “techno” label. I could use a little more variety in the later half of the song, but really, the sound is beautiful enough that I can take it for the entire 5 minutes.
This one intrigued me when I saw it on the OCR splash page, but upon listening found it to be utter nonsense. Sorry we can’t come to terms on this one.
It’s all right…it’s…all right.
