It’s been a hellaciously busy couple of months, between putting together our top 25 animated movies list and then a million hours of overtime at work (only a slight exaggeration). We fell off the wagon a bit. In an earlier … Continue reading Music to My Ears: Satorl Marsh (Night)
Even though there had been rumors for a few weeks, actually seeing Ryu in Super Smash Bros. rekindled something in my heart. I didn’t think I’d be so excited about it, but…I am. I’ve talked in earlier versions of these … Continue reading Music to My Ears: Ryu’s Theme (Super Smash Bros.)
What happens when Yoko Shimomura and Yasunori Mitsuda join forces with other composers? One hell of a soundtrack, that’s what. Xenoblade Chronicles managed to slip under the radar when it was released in the United States in 2012. Maybe it … Continue reading Music to My Ears: Gaur Plain
