NeoGAF OT Forum Presents G.A.M.E. 2 (An Electronic Music Compilation)

Mr Nash

About a year ago, a bunch of GAFers decided to get together and make a compilation of original, electronic music that we released in December called G.A.M.E. It was themed around games that inspire us, and was stickied on the forums for a good, long time (thanks mods!).

Since then, we've been working on a new compilation, appropriately called G.A.M.E. 2. This time, we opted for a different theme to hold the project together: "Theatrical Music". By this, we were going for music that would be more emotive, drawing mental images of various scenes from the listener. G.A.M.E. 2 has twenty original tracks, created by over a dozen GAFers.

The songs can be downloaded from the links below, as well as the artwork (once again provided by m0dus ^_^ with an inlet that FightyF put together).

It's in parts. I had to chop it up because the files would have exceeded zShares size limit. First three links are the music. The last one is the artwork.

Should've let me know in advance. I can promote it and provide a proper download link, like the last one.

If you would like to provide a proper download link and such, that would be great. I didn't want to pester you too much about that sort of stuff, so I figured just post it, and leave it open-ended from there as to whether or not you were up for it.

Yay! I really appreciated the original as it grew on me. I look forward to this one!

Edit: take EL's offer, though. The zshare became a mess.

Oh... snap. Downloading.

If someone could make a wallpaper of that logo, it'd be greatly appreciated!

Edit: Found it in the Game Art. :D
 
Oh sweet, it's been released! Once again, it was an awesome experience to be part of. I'll be looking forward to G.A.M.E 3, whatever the new theme will be. Much <3 !

Yay! And I just got hooked on Audiosurf too, so...seriously, that's how you listen to GAF compilations. Can't wait to listen to this just as much as I did the last one.

I'll wait for a proper download link. These links look... complicated, i guess.

I'm working on the GAME 3 thread (doing it up in notepad atm), it should be up soon. I hope to make it fairly comprehensive from the get-go, as we've already decided on a theme and the progress of GAME 3 will be accelerated big time.

I'll post the link here in this thread so that all interested participants can get in on it right away and start cracking.

Nothing by FightyF or Teknopathic?

Though I was busy with my final semester of Uni, in the free time I did have, I found this theme to be pretty challenging (I've done theatrical before [I did a soundtrack for a movie Sonki made long ago] but getting inspired is sometimes hard). So props to all those who managed to get a track out! It takes a lot to get out of your musical comfort zone and try something completely different.

I'm so up for number three it's not even funny.

I gots me fingers crossed :q

Seriously awesome cover, by the way. Amongst all the reasons I'm looking forward to number three, one of them is simply to see what you're going to pull together for the art.

Kinda bad timing on the sticky, clearing way for E3-related stuff temporarily. This'll get sticky back after E3. I'll also try to get a proper download link up soon.

I've been meaning to mention for quite awhile that Vaxadrin.... Mythical Creatures

your song is the SHIT. Seriously it hit all the right buttons for me. I've been playing it since you 1st uploaded it in the thread.

That bassline, the distortion, nice variation of frequencies, nice tempo, nice feeling.... To me, your song stands up with anything.

GREAT JOB. I want to hear more.

I had requested in the original thread that my song just be tagged as Plastic Handgun as the artist :/ So if any listeners want to go ahead and change it to that... yeah.

Sounds awesome, will write down some of my favorites when I finish, but I was wondering if someone could make a Zune/iPod friendly cover? I'd really appreciate it :D

No track numbers? How will I know which order to listen to things?

j/k, listening to it now. Too bad there's no FightyF though... An awesome song, and an awesome Audiosurf track. :D
