Hi all,

Just a heads-up that the next special is this coming Saturday. A bit of an E3 primer

http://www.classicfm.com/radio/shows/saturday-night-movies/13-june-2015/

Hope you can all listen in!

Here's a countdown for various people outwith the UK: (note this says GMT but I've corrected it for BST)

If you have any trouble using Classic FM's player, try the Tune In radio app and search for Classic FM!

Grim Fandango and Broken Age music are confirmed - hoping my request of Ori and the Blind Forest will feature!

 

[giant_frying_pan]

This is starting in 2.5 hours roughly! I'll maybe bump it once more just before it starts.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

15 minute warning!

Please try and use the Classic FM link to give them support and traffic as it is an advertising-funded station (and a great one at that!).

If you are having any issues though, you can try Tune In instead.

 

[Jonnax]

I'll give this a listen

 

[GeeTeeCee]

Wow, thanks for posting this, looks like I saw this topic just in time. Always enjoy the surprise of these threads popping up every so often.

 

[Jachaos]

These are always good, I'll give it a listen

 

[Jonnax]

If anyone uses Android or IOS and wants to listen there's an app called Radio Player which was funded by the BBC. Has a ton of UK radio stations for streaming.

Love that they use the PSOne boot up sound to start!

EDIT - Final Fantasy Type 0 to start!

 

[JPS Kai]

As far as they're concerned, I'm living in Aberdeen and enjoying some tunes while dying my hair a nice black for next week.

Welcome to the Granite City!

 

[Jonnax]

Final Fantasy Type-0 song to start things off. Sounds like it'll be a varied two hours =D

 

[Lightning Count]

Sent in a request.

 

[Jonnax]

Strange. Completed the game a month ago and I have no recollection of this song. Where did it play I wonder.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Andrew will mention the name the end most likely!

EDIT - Heh, just 'Type-0' apparently!

 

[dead monkey uk]

Videogame specials are always great, hopefully the play a track from The Order 1886.

 

[Nzyme32]

Almost missed this, cheers.

What Becomes of Us


got me so hyped for the PC release

 

[CrimsonFist]

This is the song that plays over the credits

 

[iosefe]

Type-O

typo?

 

[giant_frying_pan]

This is the song that plays over the credits

Ah cheers for the clarification!

Next up is Grim Fandango remastered!

 

[Jonnax]

Ah I see. I think Zero by Bump of Chicken just got me too much with the emotions to remember anything else lol.

 

[Nzyme32]

Woop, Grim Fandango has a wonderful soundtrack

 

[iNvid02]

hey thats great will try and tune in

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Heh, this is the UK version of The Apprentice's theme!

 

[iosefe]

this piece rings a bell. i zoned out on where it's from

 

[giant_frying_pan]

It's not from a game, it's from a ballet of Romeo and Juliet but the idea is that it was an inspiration for Peter McConnell.

EDIT - Broken Age now

 

[dead monkey uk]

Sorry double post

 

[Dead Man Typing]

It's not from a game, it's from a ballet of Romeo and Juliet but the idea is that it was an inspiration for Peter McConnell.

Thanks for the info, I thought I'd tuned in at the wrong time

 

[Jonnax]

It's not from a game, it was an influence on the composer of Grim fandango. The track is from the Apprentice.

Montagues and Capulets
By Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev for his 1935 ballet Romeo and Juliet.

 

[Footos22]

Order 1886 up next, Knights theme

 

[Jonnax]

Here's a link to the list of songs played:

[giant_frying_pan]

Haha what a dig at The Order's length, hehe.

 

[dead monkey uk]

Order 1886 up next, Knights theme

He made a comment about the length of the game . Great track

 

[iosefe]

Arabesque gives me fond childhood memories

our local planetarium used Tomita's electronic album of Debussey and always had Arabesque playing for the Jack Horkheimer, Star Gazer show

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Yay Ori! Well done Outer Heaven, whoever you are!

 

[Nocturnowl]

I've been trying to avoid hearing any of Ori until I could actually play it but well, they've got me now.

edit: And it's as lovely as I'd hoped.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

The whole score is fantastic.

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

I'll always think the "FM" here is frequency modulation from the context. Always.

There's alot of Prokofiev influence here and there like that. Powerful work that.

 

[Remk]

Oomph, that Ori piece sounded great,

.
Another one to the Steam wishlist I guess

 

[giant_frying_pan]

I'll always think the "FM" here is frequency modulation from the context. Always.

It is! They have FM frequencies in the UK! 99.9–101.9 MHz.

 

[Remk]

Playlist has moved to the cinematic, nice change of pace
(really just a bump, so others dont miss out)

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Fallout main theme now!

 

[Lightning Count]

The requests just started, please pick the one I sent in.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

What did you ask for?

 

[Lightning Count]

What did you ask for?

Grandia theme.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Oooh, good shout! There's plenty of good arrangements of that so I imagine it would be a contender

 

[Remk]

Grandia theme.

Hell yeah! I will never get tired of listening to it, so great


Wait, there's a Sonic symphonic album? and it sound good too! I am honestly surprised

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Yeah Sonic music lends itself well to the big band!

 

[Dambrosi]

Goddammit, why didn't I see this thread earlier?
