Another Bowie/Uematsu playlist experiment

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.

A Sopor Aeternus playlist experiment!

Image culled from the Sopor Aeternus Instagram account

Anna-Varney Cantodea crafts albums that are distinct bodies of work. Any given Sopor Aeternus album (excluding compilations…like the one I’m about to list in this entry) has its own internal context. So the whole idea of a Sopor Aeternus playlist is either impossible or, optimistically, experimental.

Consider this my run at the experiement:

Soror

Always Within the Hour

Spellbound

At Sunset Through the Fields Aflame (version from The Spiral Sacrifice)

Anima I

Hades’ “Pluton”

The Sleeper (version from POETICA: All beauty sleeps)

Do You Know My Name? (version from Ich tote mich…)

Children of the Corn

Beautiful Thorn

Baptisma (1989 demo version)

Beautiful

Eldorado (version from POETICA: All beauty sleeps)

Day of the Dead

Abschied

End of hypothetical “first disc” and the beginning of a “second disc” (Why yes, I am pretentious, I highly recommend it if only for fun 😀 )

To walk behind the Rows

Harvest Moon (Cornflowers part II)

Anima II

Coffin Break

Leeches & Deception

Poison

The Conqueror Worm (version from Flowers in Formaldehyde)

Into The Night

Sopor Fratrem Mortis Est

A Strange Thing to Say
