Fadeouts and loops be gone!!!
Gravity Daze 1+2 is one of the greatest game scores ever written from a genre mixing standpoint. The medium is rarely blessed with such good hybrid rock and jazz and here we get some of the very best in any medium in addition to Tanaka’s orchestral prowess.
This is Tanaka rocking the house with much thematic interplay, pure orchestra on and off, with a beautiful fusion of synth and orchestra only Tanaka can pull off and with truly spectacular moments from smashing guitar solos to dramatic operatic soprano. But the representation on the soundtrack albums was sorely lacking, with unecessary loops and fadeouts that detract from (my) enjoyment.
So I proudly present you a proper representation of the two scores sadly butchered on the soundtracks. I did what I could to match it as closely to the real recording session as possible, so this time there is not a single pointless loop left and the few pieces that do still loop do so naturally (meaning each version only ONCE and then a proper finish). I’ve also rearranged all pieces for a more organic narrative and combined many pieces from the two soundtracks together that work in context. Now you can listen to almost three hours of glorious music back to back without getting an epileptic seizure or anticipating the dreadful fadeout. And I did it all free of charge.
Erase the previous listening experience from your mind and take a new dive. Just pretend it's a new anime score from Tanaka-san ;)
But even without all those loops the purely orchestral score clocks around 90 minutes (GD1: 30 / GD2: 60) with another 90 minutes of fantastic orchestral rock and jazz (everything with Raven’s Theme is pure kickassery) and I hope it can now be properly enjoyed by all..
Samples:
Main Theme (http://picosong.com/GQBr)
Kat’s Theme (One Piece style) (http://picosong.com/GQZX)
Delta Team (http://picosong.com/GQZw)
Storm and Triumph (http://picosong.com/GQZC)
(63-year old Kohei Tanaka, still as vivid and exillerating as ever)
If you take into account that he did all this himself you simply have to marvel at his work here. He composed, orchestrated and performed all three hours by himself without any additional support where as other fun rides like Kid Icarus Uprising needed a batallion of composers and orchestrators to reach the same level of quality one gifted musician can achieve with pen, paper and piano.
MAKING-OF VIDEO (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTNRkNepD6M)
I urge everyone to buy a copy to show your support and appreciation of the music. This is not a symphonic album but a glorious joyful outburst of music. There will also be an orchestral concert held soon with music from Gravity Daze so keep an eye out for a Studio JAPAN concert in may.
I’ll admit that Tanaka still holds a special spot in my heart for being the first Japanese composer I’ve grown to adore and idolize so naturally I’m biased as hell when it comes to his music. I would not have pulled an allnighter in my studio if I didn't absolutely love his music. He is as ever a beacon of joy to every aspiring composer, no matter the age.
Ladies and Gentlemen, please enjoy!
