That song is completely sleep inducing btw.

Isolating portions of a song is not the same thing as listening to it as a whole. You are isolating portions so your brain is capable of finding enjoyment in it.

To repair what you said i was saying. I said for the most part. There are exceptions. But, in general (and im talking about game music most of all here) game music these days is either ambience or noise.

For example, uncharted a big budget title. It has an orchestra score. The music is great ambience, but nothing sticks with you. Why are these people spending all this money making music if no one is gonna remember a single bit of it? Why spend all that money and make music that isnt memorable?

I play Sonic 3 & Knuckles and my brain gets more pleasure out of that experience sound wise than it does during all of uncharted. I play Chrono Cross and my brain finds pleasure in the mixing pot of melodies. Xenogears is full of powerful themes. There was no orchestras for those. Orchestra's arent necessary to make good music. So, why spend all this money only to get a score no one listens to a second time?

Man, how do you enjoy music at all? This is like saying you can't look at a painting up close, you have to look at it from far away enough that you can see the whole picture. In that way, if the painting is too detailed, all of the colors and shapes would blur together and become "noisy," so it has to have only a few colors and shapes.

And the reason people spend money to get a live orchestra is because this sounds a million and a half times better than this. It's because no video game score ever received a Grammy nomination until this happened.

Hey, another thing that sounds a million and a half times better than something else.

See, i disagree with that. I find the Mario 64 version alot more pleasing to listen to. It sounds cleaner cause it has no noise going on.

The zelda example is different because the older version seems to have been locked in a box. Probably 8 bit version, and i told you i wasnt talking about 8 bit. :) Even if not, the quality of the sound output is just to bad in that case.

Nem. I'm guessing this is the kind of music you want in an JRPG? Then you might enjoy Bravely Default.

Yeah i have been looking into it. I dont think its the best track ever but that is pleasant to listen to.
