GOD NOW I KNOW HOW THE SOUNDTRACK TEAM WORKING ON TAG 2 FEEL.
With 15 years of atmospheric tracks, whittling them down to 10 was no small feat and one that will debate and agrument. So let fate bring those who heed the call, this is top ten tekken tracks.
Nunber 10.
HEAVENLY GARDEN/FALLEN GARDEN(TAG 2)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evzrS5wS-8
Many people were shocked to find out that Jun was to be the final boss in tag 2 not true orge, However, if it's all about the entrance, then appearing FROM THE DEAD, IN A BALL OF LIGHT, NUKING TRUE ORGE AND STEPPING OUT INTO A RESPLENDENT VISION OF HEAVEN AS THIS PLAYS IS UNDER STATING IT'S AWESOMENESS!
And if you it's think it's over, think again. at the 1:50 mark, this happens
Wow, you talk about the complete oppossite!
You take a calming track and then it drops a dub-step bassline from nowhere into an aggressive-sounding track, while at the same time is composed of the same melodies and instruments. Thats what it is a corruption. The stage is now night , with rotten flowers and water is now Liquid latex or what ever it is (J)Unknown now wears. And it fits perfectly what ever has bought jun back has corrupted her.
Number9
HALL OF JUGEMENT(AKA JIN'S THEME)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcLplcQ-8
I'm expecting backlash for this having so low for one reason alone: Over-Saturation.
Its was in 4 in the vault. in devil within on 5, Jin and Xiao's pandora form theme in SFXT and gained the hall of judgement name in Tag 2. And after 4, With his new moveset that you had to re-master and the whole selling out your divine mission for a throne crap, Jin has lost favour with the fans. his Initial theme,though is standard.
You can listen to this in your throne all day, blissfully unaware that your mother, cousin and girlfriend are conspiring to kill you!
Number8
JULIA'S THEME
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYnjHcB3DM8
There are piece of music that reflect the personality of the charectors. Jack-2 man of artificality, Armour kings monument Valley and both of Xiaoyu's original tracks. But none capture Julia's reluctant nature to fight than this track builds and builds until the guitar hook brings it on home. Yeah she maybe reluntant to fight but i punished many a player in Sinnott's in Cortown with X AND CIRCLE, CIRCLE, CIRCLE, CIRCLE!
NUMBER 7
ANGER OF THE EARTH
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsqSRmenf1g
We had piece of music that explained charectors, Now we have a piece music that describes the background! Fighting during an earthquake while a volcano destroys all including a church showing us that fate in god is no match for Mother Nature.
TIED FOR 6!
FALLEN COLONY
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSKUVpcF-Xw
AND MADE OF STONE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLzZakiVoiA
These are here for 2 Noodle Incidents in the Tekkeniverse, Namely how did Big Ben get blown up on a beach in Devon? and When was Washington Dc built by Bloody Stupid Johnson?(NO NOT BORIS!~But the incompent artisan builer of Sir Terry Pratchett's Discworld)
Since steve is a Londoner I'm surprised that no-one has ever mentioned this or asked any of the 20+plus American charecters if Obama needs a cherry picker to gets to his office?
These are never asked, and probably never will!
Number 5
QUIET INTERIM REPORT
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vf65nkeBe8ky
Lets talk about Boss Music. Usually it helps to strike a balance between Tenseness and Listening Enjoyment. Too tense, like monument valley and you run too quick making mistakes. Too aesthetically Pleasing, You get caught in the moment and still lose. This Strikes a perfect balance.
NUMBER 4
SPARKING!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_CO64-fvKA
Imagine the scene You are Harada's staff working on T5. Tekken 4 has being visiously panned by critics. But all is well.X and Square and the 4-button super-charger is back, the stages are a mixture of walled and classic free-roaming arenas. Most of the cast whose moves where absorbed by orge are back. Combot is put the same bus as are the Mariachi band that supplied 4's BGM. But how do you show that you've done your homework?
WITH AN BIG ASS INTRO!
And by God isn't the intro all kinds of awesome!
The first is the direct ending to 4. After Jin hands his Daddy and Gran-daddy asses to them, Both are awakened by a helicopter that shoots pods into Honmaru. As the pods reveal themselves to be Jack-4s, For the first time since-ever!, 'Hachi and Kaz team up to take out the killer robots, Until Baztardya in True Bastard with Dada Issues Form, turns on 'hachi, throwing him into the Jack who bundle, then blow up. as Raven looks on confirming the death Heihachi as he cuts a Jack in half.
-Okay intro over lets play this ga-
#I'M HERE NOW~!
wait a second intro?
Yes the Lyric above starts the second intro as Sparking! become bgm. as an intro its really a roster call of who's in the game as well as showing us which of the new charectors are face and hell (Clue: saving kittens,Good! Killing elderly men, BAD!). Its up here for being a rock track and sounding like Linkin Park.
3-WAY TIE FOR THIRD!
CYBORG NINJA
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3wwOJG8RVs
Yoshi's 2nd
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kc0MTQGzwoo
And No Eyes, No Ears...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsvB0s_bI9U
All these have on thing in common they all belong to one man...alien...robot...whatever he is, Yoshimitsu
Yoshi just may be the charector people thing of when they think of Tekken. So ugly and yet so likable. and of all the charectors filled with different personalities. it's the alien that is the most human. All the tracks are immersive techo(in the case of No eyes, no ears-Trance-like) Tracks.
NUMBER 2
EMOTIONLESS PASSION(AKA KAZUYA'S THEME)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G53GWYxRGq8
Seeing and hearing all these tracks as bought back some memories, but hearing this back a painful one:
I Hate The Mist Step!
Before Tekken 3 made the mist step a move that everyone has, it only belonged to the man quickly dubbed as Baztardya, and boy howdy, didn't the Cpu abuse the move so much it didn't take long before you where lying on the ornate carpet, counting lights.
And the number 1 Tekken track is...
BLACK WINTER SKY
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVFnXKpiH5M
If I'm playing a game for the first time, i watch the entire intro from start to finish, so i get the feel of the story and game Quality. And of all the tekken intros, all of them great, Black winter sky is simply acoustic gold. With charectors showing less polygons since there first outing, we are treated to a dynamic Intro, with motorbikes, thunderstorms, exploding shops and a sweeping shot of the hall of kazuya's mansion as the sub boss fly around, ending with Angel holding Kaz in a possessive Manner.
Very telling considering who Angel really is.
So there you have it.
Normal Service to resume tomorrow when i give my opinions on Last nights Money in the bank PPV
