Alright then, I'll just put you down for the next one

I still haven't thought about the theme there'll be for it, but there'll definitely be one.

So then, how are we all doing with our swaps then? I've been busy myself, so haven't really had the time just yet, but the review'll be coming up soon.

On that note, if you're up for the next trade, let me know. I'll be hoping to get it started sometime next week, and the theme will be melancholy, which should be a bit of alright.

@Bulldog
I wanted to write the review yesterday, but I still feel I need to listen to that album more times, to be able to know what I want to write.
Though I have to tell you, I loved the album.

**And put me in for the next trade (the theme looks relatively simple)...

Whenever you're ready

I'll be a little busy these next few days myself, so I may as well extend this trade's deadline to the full fortnight anyway. Plus Rapidshare keeps thwarting my attempts to download your album (my account expired a while back), so it might take me a while to get a review done!

Dieselboy sent me the Original Soundtrack for Noir

I've never bothered to listen to an anime soundtrack before but after listening to the Noir soundtrack that will definitely change. The easiest way to describe it is just beautiful peaceful music. You can almost imagine yourself lying in the middle of a sunny field without a care in the world. I'm kind of surprised he didn't send this to somebody last week for the happy theme because it definitely has a happy vibe to it.

The music is touches on a bit of everything from electronica to classical never missing a beat and is perfectly enhanced by the singers' voices. There's just something about listening to vocals in languages you don't understand that makes the whole listening experience seem more intimate to me. Even though you don't understand the words you can understand the story being told and that never fails to amaze me.

Glad you liked it. If you really did wanna check out more then a name I would suggest is Yuki Kajiura, who composed the OST I sent you, along with many others. I think Noir is the best one she's done, but everything she works on is incredibly high-quality stuff. I only sent you part 1 of that soundtrack, but part 2 is just as good, and her work on the .Hack//Liminality soundtrack is awesome as well if you're so inclined.

I'm gonna give what you sent one more listen tonight and then review it on here tomorrow.

Well, at this rate it's only gonna you, me and NumberNineDream in the next one. If that ends up being the case, we'll just all send albums to each other.

My review's coming soon by the way. I've finished uni for the week, so it won't be long!

Rickenbacker · 02-17-2010, 12:05 PM
