Here's a few items that I've been listening to recently, with emphasis on band/album names for people like Gallstaff who find reading posts on forums to be an uneccessary task for discussion.
1992 Outrun OST. Includes a few full band takes on some songs. Good stuff. Look for a few full songs to appear on my site very soon...
Simon Says' Ship Jumper. Melodic singing, usually heavy music (rock-oriented). I think this one was popular for a month or two when it was originally released, and then forgotten. I like most of the tracks.
Xenogears - Creid. I think I got this from Arakon long ago (thanks, btw). Japanese people mixing some Celtic style into their muzak. I like it.
Some random Glay. I've been learning Japanese and listening to some J-rock. It helps me impale pronunciations into my skull. Glay has a nice, somewhat American sound, for those of you wondering.
And finally, a co-worker loaned me their X's Learning Japanese set (where X is whatever the hell it's called), and it included four audio cds of Japanese speech. Again, just to ensure that my pronunciation's on target, since I'm studying from books without an instructor. |
