[?????????]

There are instrumentals to Y'know and Waiting For You coming from the singles. I also think there was an instrumental to Bukkirabouna Ai ni Oboretai from one of the singles too. Basically the opening and closing themes to Parasite Dolls and 2040 have instrumental versions on their singles.

You're right, I checked this out on the bgcc page. Looks like I've got some more material to acquire... From my experience instrumentals may or may not work as game music. It depends on how closely they follow the original vocal track. For example, most of the piano/pad mixes on the collectors file wouldn't work. Some instrumentals work very well, however, especially if they have a variety of instruments. I'm especially curious about how the instrumental version of the PD closing theme sounds.

Any comments on "No Obligation" and "Give and Take" ?
They're labeled "as Sekiria" but do they have any direct connection to BGC?


I went through all the soundtracks I have and categorized them and took notes. I also made some lists of possible uses for many of the tracks. I'm so happy with River Flows and its variations; you could build an entire game around those 4 tracks.

I also picked a possible title screen track: Blue Confusion. Any comments? It's not obvious why, so I'll explain my reasoning if anyone wants to discuss it. It might need to be cut down a little bit though.

There are other possibilities as well. For example, Bukkirabou instrumental for the title and Bukkirabou vocal for the credits. That pairing would probably work very well.

Since the current design is leaning towards '33 a completely different score would probably have to be developed. The '40 music just doesn't fit. Compare the collectors file version of Hurrican with the original, for a perfect example. They're both good, but incompatible.

So I'm going to need to research and possibly acquire some soundtracks for the original two OVAs. Anyone have any details about them off-hand?


Hey Lynk Former, I found some 404's

PD music link is broken.

Some of the links to the album covers for 2040 are missing or broken
-vocal collection
-waiting for you single

BTW, what's the JIS code for the Kanji on track 3 of No Obligation? It's listed as umi (sea) but from what I can see of the photo it doesn't look like it. The edges are too flat. From what I can see it could be "pus" but that seems doubtful. Just curious...
