I ended up making this playlist while trying to figure out what a fictional album “feels” like. For a story I’m writing. Obviously this isn’t meant to be literally representative. More like an associative-emotive vibe-print. My musician character is someone whose imaginative and expressive range equals (if not surpasses) Bowie and Uematsu.
The first track derives from Bowie’s 1.Outside demos. The Final Fantasy music consists mostly of covers from ocremix.com. Like the last playlist with ocremix stuff, the original basis for the song is in parenetheses. Only two tracks come directly from an Uematsu soundtrack (Final Fantasy IX). ‘Journey Through the Lifestream’ incorporates a number of musical quotes and ideas from Uematsu.
Concerning the ocremix songs- ‘Enchanted Espers’ dates back to the late oughtties. ‘Now is the Winter’ and ‘Courage, Failure, Rosebud’ are from the ocremix compilation album Final Fantasy VI: Balance and Ruin and ‘Deliverance of the Heart’ comes from the ocremix album Final Fantasy VII: Voices of the Lifestream.
