Gundam - Music discussion (OP/ED & OST, etc.)

[itisjustme]

Hrm yeah I must have skipped Audrey at first because it was a bit too calm, good idea I'll do that cheers.

For those of you who might have noticed the Gundam UC OST 4 Tracklist:

Is disc two just a rehash of the original three OSTs's best musics or something?

[Infinite Zenith]

It looks like a "best of" CD, and doing off the previews, they sound more or less the same Mind you, if there was a Gundam Unicorn OST to buy, this would be it.

[Blazer-X]

Whole track is already uploaded on the website we go to watch Gundam Build Fighters. Since I don't know if I can share it, I'll just leave this message as is.

[Infinite Zenith]

I particularly like RE:I AM MARIE and 20100517or0311

This sounds absolutely glorious

[Zeydra]

I just got the fourth unicorn soundtrack today and it's been an absolute joy, so much so I just have to say something. I haven't seen the final two episodes yet as a friend of mine told me episode six was just a ton of talking and set up so I'm saving it for when I get episode seven, but the final soundtrack was a sublime musical conclusion to the series. Sawano-san demonstrated his knack for weaving melodies in and out in different styles brilliantly, and I'm completely satisfied with the conclusion musically.

My favourite themes would be MSGUCEP7, RE:I AM MARIE, and 20140517. The first really gets my blood pumping and I get chills up the spine when the banshee theme kicks in around the two and a half minute mark, and the other two just strike a cord with me.

Now as for the second disc, when I first heard about it a while back I wasn't too fussed as I've already got the three other soundtracks, but then I heard they were going back to blu-spec for the final soundtrack, something only the first ost was published on. As I was hoping they've cleared up the sound quality for the themes from soundtracks 2 and 3 and they sound fantastic. I didn't care for mad-nug and gundam much before, but now.

I'd definitely second that if someone was to buy one of the soundtracks this one would be it, not only that but I'd highly recommend it. It's a truly sublime listening experience and one I think even people who don't normally buy soundtracks would enjoy, doubly so if they like the music in unicorn.

RX-0 and 7th ED is the most memorable OST in the Unicorn for me.

It's really nice too see that Sawano still has it in him to put out some great music. The first disc is easily better than his AoT and KLK work....

Can't agree with that actually.

While not being too big of a fan for his AoT work, I am pretty big on his KLK gig. It actually captured the essence better than his work for Unicorn.

Note that Unicorn's OST was friggin excellent, and I loved it to death. But it did, occasionally, sound too much like John Williams/Hollywood fare. Not that its a bad thing, but you know, it lacked a little... erm... unique oomph.

- Tak (Either that, or Blumenkranz kicked my ass)

[Wild Goose]

Blumenkranz kicked everyone's ass, though I personally prever the quieter piano remix (and more to the point, Paperblossom's cover of it. Cyua is good, but the song gains a lot from being sung by a native German speaker).

[Tak]

Oh yes, Paperblossom is superb. Can't argue with that.

It lacked uniqueness? Sure I can see that but what's unique about Guilty Crown mark 3 aka KLK? Sawano has been derivative as shit since Guilty Crown. Guilty Crown, Shingeki, KLK and that one track from dat aldnoahzero pv/cm come from the same blender.

Comparing them 3 to Unicorn, Basara and AoNoExorcist and it's night and day.

[Wild Goose]

So.... any news on when the Cerulean single will be released? Because that OP was the shit.
