About Me

edit

I'm mostly a retro gamer. I don't hate everything after the 90's, but I tend to prefer retro game design. I enjoy alot of indie and portable games, not to mention a blockbuster title every now and then. However, like I said, the majority of my gaming takes place on older consoles.

Sound Test: Katamari Damacy - Lonely Rolling Star
jackal27 \| 9:19 PM on 01.26.2009	21 comments

Music is relative. It effects us in such a personal way that we can't possibly hope to describe the extent of that effect to anyone. It's why we are so protective (and sometimes even snobby) about it. Your personal taste in music will always be better to you than anyone else. So it's best to probably just accept that.

Here I will weekly (heh...) choose a piece of game music that I love and share it! Then talk about it. Not too complex, but I hope it's something you'll enjoy!

Sound Test: Katamari Damacy - Lonely Rolling Star

Holy crap, this game is crazy.

I've owned Katamari Damacy for about a year or two now, but never even played it until a couple of weeks ago. I already knew what to expect, a weird game about the Prince of all Cosmos rolling up stuff on Earth to put all the stars back in the sky. However, one thing I did not expect was how great the music is. Just like the game, the majority of it is... ummm... unique, but all of it is a blast to listen to. This song stood out to me in particular. Please enjoy!

The Katamari series has some of the best original music in any videogame ever, hands down.

Niero

I agree with what Welkstar said.

Also, Phantasy Star II's soundtrack is the tits.

Urashima

Ah, good ol' Katamari Damacy. I remember getting this at Best Buy; actually, it was one of the last copies they had. The Soundtrack was wonderful, and this song in particular was one of my favorites.

garison

[noob]I just got this game a few weeks ago. I haven't played it extensively, but when I loaded it up, and I heard the RetroforceGO! theme song, I was like "OMG KATAMARI STOLE MAI RETROFORCE!"[/noob]

Niero

I'd also like to add that I haven't heard this particular song in months and got goosebumps around the 4:15 breakdown :)

jackal27

@Welkstar- Agree'd

@Niero- Is it really the tits? I've never been able to get very far in that game...

@Urashima- Someone recently gave me the whole soundtrack, I like the last song as well, hahaha.

@Garison- Hahaha, I wish that it had happened in that order.

BulletMagnet

I really wish I could (legally) get ahold of the OST for a reasonable price...it really is a great collection of music if you're into quirkiness in particular. I have to say I preferred the "main" theme and the "lounge singer" ("I wanna wad you up into my liiiife") tracks to this one, though. :)

Funktastic

One of the best game soundtracks I own, and this is one of the most memorable songs! Just so . . . catchy? ^_^

Senisan

When I hear "lovely angel" I imagine myself standing on top of earth staring up at the king of all cosmos, weird huh? I also haven't heard this soundtrack in months and because of this post I will be listening to it at work tomorrow :)

The Prodigal Son

This is one of my favorites on the soundtrack too. Japanese music producers have a completely different production value than American producers -- and in this soundtrack, it shows.

Dimly

Katamari music is the only reason I listen to Retroforce GO! anymore. Just kidding...

Where can I find thus musics?

ProperlyParanoid

Fuck, I really need to buy this game. I've been planning on doing it for ages.

bbrigg1

I've had and listened to this album since the day I beat the game a day after it came here.

Que Sera Sera is probably my favorite.

lucashoal

I'm with BBrigg, or Katamari on the Swing

Jesse Cortez

This song is my FAVORITE VIDEO GAME SONG OF ALL TIME (by song I mean one with lyrics)

Great choice!

seigfreid

wow, this inspired me even more to pick this game up. All I have played is the demo but I really need to get this game

A New Challenger

This was the instant standout for me too when I finally played the game last year.

The sequel is PACKED with even more awesome songs. And many more levels.

Krow-Kupo

I never got a chance to play Katamari Damacy, and given my financial situation, it looks like it'll be a long time before I do.

Clint

I was hoping it would be this song when I saw the title (never knew the title.) Still like Katamari on the Rocks the best though ;) Great post, as always!

yeah Katamari is amazing and has amazing music its definitely one of my favorite game series. I recently got it on my iPhone and love being able to play some katamari wherever I am.
