Uematsu’s 10 Stories

The basic idea: Uematsu is going to release a piece of music every few months and then an album proper in spring 2010. A teaser for the first song is available at the link.

can someone share this for people who don’t have itunes??

You might have better luck making a thread in "Requests" and asking for it.

10 Stories was released today, and (despite the title) contains a final track-listing of 14 songs.

Here’s the official website (http://www.dogearrecords.com/NOBIYOandDogEars/10shortstories.html), where you can hear samples. The songs are being sold on iTunes.

This site (http://www.gamesetwatch.com/2010/03/dog_ear_launches_site_for_uema.php) also has song samples and is interesting because it says Uematsu wrote the compositions when he was in high school. I haven’t found any other sources that confirm that, so I don’t know if it’s true. But it might explain the light, poppy style.

So far the song I like the most is "The Incredible Flying Natsuhiko." (http://www.dogearrecords.com/NOBIYOandDogEars/natsuhiko.html)

Thanks for the link!

Wow…this stuff is not very good at all.

I wish he’d do another album along the lines of Phantasmagoria.
