Great Music from Video Games

If you are tired of listening on today's music, why try listening to something new. Some people called this tracks techno or instrumental, but this are actually video game soundtracks. If you are familiar with movies like Silent Hill, Resident Evil, etc. they are video games to be exact. On the first time you listen, you will feel strange because there are no vocals or artist singing, but full of beat and background music.



What it makes different is once you used to listen to it, you feel like you're into the game or movie itself. If you've played this games on Playstation or PC or any consoles and you already finish it, even you're not in the front of the monitor if you're listening to this tracks, you actually feel that you're still playing. What fascinates me is it feels good and it uplifts my mood.



If you want to listen on some of this video games soundtrack, you can try AMON TOBIN'S Chaos Theory for the third installment of the game SPLINTER CELL. The game is a role-playing game actually, and you play Sam Fisher, as one of the government agents doing some undercover mission and strategies how you can retrieve information while having some toys and gadgets like Batman has. This game rocks, you better try it for yourself or you miss half of your life.

Dead In Their Tracks

About a decade ago, 90's to be exact, I think this is the last era where good songs has been written and sung. Compared to the music today you can hear everywhere, the trend is very different and so rubbish. Pop, Ballad, Rock, etc. any song category, all of the songs written today are not so apealing compared to the songs from 70's up to 90's. There are some, but sad to say it is not as popular as those with the old ones.

I don't know if the generation today created a innovative approach of music, or maybe I'm not as updated as the society is, but I can't even recognized some of the songs today. Unlike the oldies, as others prefer to say it, many people including young ones appreciate it even they don't even know the song. I think it's the simplicity of the song composition, the originality, and the passion of the artist singing. The results of tied and mix-match influences of music different artists today acquired did not gained much respect.

For so may artists or bands spurting from different music categories, they emerged for such a short period of time and their contribution in music is not much compared to the old ones. Competitions and they crowd can be the factor and to say that the huge market of song writer today decline many listener to appreciate their songs. Not to mention the diverse technology which prefer you to customize and make your own music if you like.
