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:
This is actually the “Tom Jones A-Go Go Mix” of the original Space Channel credits music. Not that I’ve ever played Space Channel 5 (sadly), but a Japanese take on Tom Jones got my attention right quick. Actually, the similarities are basically just Tom’s famous original brass riff, and the general “lounge singer” feel. I’ve listened to the original SC5 song, and I think the additions, including the sweet new percussion riff that gets used often here, are great. I initially took this as a joke song, but it’s grown on me so much that I have a hard time going without it for a day or two. Fun!
I keep wanting to sing, “Its not unusual to be loved by anyone”, you that classic song. Mars Attacks, the movie, has the song in it in case you need a video reference to jog your memory.
I’ll admit it…Mars Attacks is where I learned of Tom Jones to begin with.
