RHIANNON IS EDITING THIS POST BECAUSE SHE SCREWED UP. In this topic, we will post songs and reviews for said songs. If you wish to discuss this Music Thing or something of that sort, go to the other topic. Actually, go to the other topic first unless you just want to read what people say or if you just want to say what you think of songs that other people post. NOW ON TO THE PART OF THIS POST THAT ASAPH ACTUALLY WROTE: The Diablo Swing Orchestra - Balrog Boogie » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Mea Culpa, Ecce Signum, Corpus Vile, Coram Deo Pactum Serva, Scala Caeli, Gloria Patri, Pax Et Bonum Sine Cura, Vade Mecum, Casus Belli, Lusus Naturae Dies Illa, Velut Luna, Dona Es Virtum I recently found this band, and wowie, I was sure surprised. They mix Chicago Swing Jazz and Symphonic Rock into some of the most unique and funky music I've heard for a long time. It vaugely reminds me of the Rocky Horror Show, if you know what I mean. This song is one of the best of what I have so far. I love the fact they use Contrabass, and no bass guitar here, and I love the Operatic vocals used on the track, which actually sounds operatic, unlike "some" bands who try to use it... The overall song is exceedingly catchy and memorable, and inspired me to check them out some more. Enjoy! This post has been edited by Rhiannon: May 6 2007, 03:14 PM

N.EX.T - The Vampire Saga (Slayer's Theme)
Tonfa, who has gone through a strange mix-up in which he claimed to drop out of submitting songs and then it turns out that apparently he is still in this thing, returns once again to bring us a song from some Guilty Gear game. As I'm not sure which part of his edit is part of the name of the game and which is part of the soundtrack, I'm not going to try to say which one. This time around, the song appears to be The Vampire Saga, theme of some character named Slayer. Perhaps.
Like the previous three reviews have all said or elaborated upon, the song does seem to sound familiar to something a few of us couldn't identify, and Walrus claims it sounds like Castlevania. I agree with all three of them, that it does sound very familiar, and it does bare a strong resemblance to Castlevania music. I'm tempted to say the organs remind me of one of two Castlevania themes, being either Vampire Killer or Bloody Tears. I'm leaning more towards the former.
The song itself opens with percussion and guitars, which then momentarily drop for some organ-y stuff, followed by the guitars copying the organs. At around :25, the two groups split up for a few seconds to do some stuff, and then they repeat from where the guitars copy the organs to :25 again, but this time at :50, they go to do some new stuff which involves chord progressions and arpeggios. At 1:14 we begin some guitar fancypants playing which leads into more organ solos, followed by guitars playing with them. This seems to go on for the rest of the song, essentially. Once we get to 2:18, however, we get what sounds like NES 8-bit synth insturments with their own solo, which for some strange reason reminds me a little bit of Gradius. We then find ourselves returning to the same stuff that happens at the beginning, but the ending is composed of a little organ solo.
How I'm seeing this song is that I'm finding it catchy, slightly nostalgic, and very repetitive. In short, I liked it, but the composition could have been better.
Score: 7.5/10
