X-Mas Mix – Ice Beam

And it’s that time of the year again! Get out your lil’ Santa hats and turn on those Christmas decoration lights~

While (or rather because) it’s still more or less green outside, I decided to use a theme this year, which comes from a place with a lot of snow and ice: Phendrana Drifts from Metroid Prime.

Although the initial idea was QUITE different, Ice BeamĀ turned out to be a rather peaceful and soothing song. I was even able to include a bit of Tallon Overworld 2. If I didn’t tell you, I’m sure most of you wouldn’t even have noticed.

As for the video, it’s pretty similar to the last one. I actually wanted to have some nice effects with snow and such, but I don’t think I have the means to do that yet. Maybe next year~

As usual you’ll find the video and download below. Want to show your appreciation? Donate!

And here’s the video:

Remember that there’s more like this on the X-Mas mixes page! I even made a lil’ X-Mas playlist on YouTube, which includes my songs similar to the Halloween mixes. Do you like your little Christmas present? It sure is quite different from the usual stuff with all those guitars and atmosphere and such.

I may have another surprise waiting for you tomorrow…maybe. What’s for sure is that I want to end this year with a bang, so before I make the usual Best Of 2014 album you’ll get ANOTHER song and this is no less than a SMASH BROS. REMIX! Now THAT’s what I call a true Christmas present~

OST Focus – A Somewhat Mentionable Enemy Emerges

Another OST focus for you! This time we have the quirky Miniboss tune A Somewhat Mentionable Enemy Emerges from the animated series Luigi’s Terrific Quest, created by VanishingSVST.

Just to let you know, there’s gonna be minibosses and they’re gonna be f*cking awesome.

This quirky miniboss tune was inspired by Super Paper Mario‘s A Powerful Enemy Emerges (as you might have guessed from the title!), although it’s an original song. The song is not supposed to sound very serious and more a bit funny and odd. Actually, there’s also a boss version of this song which you can find on the OST page. Or you wait a lil’ bit longer and I’ll present it in the next-next OST focus! That’s…probably next year though!

Unlike the title suggests, I’d say the minibosses will definitely be mentionable. Just look at the Crimson Bully the series’ creator drew for the video. Remember those guys from Super Mario 64 that threw you? Like, off mountains and such? Really harsh. Remember Bullies from the same game, who mostly wanted to ram you into the lava and such? Take these enemies, give the result Super Saiyan eyebrows and you get a (somewhat mentionable) miniboss: the Crimson Bully! There’s a lot more where that came from~

If you like the song, there should be some more songs like that on the OST page! Don’t forget to check out the Boss version A Formidable Foe Emerges while you’re at it~

Next time on OST focus, we hear even more Luigi’s Terrific Quest songs. Gotta love that series! Also I’ll get to work on that Gerudo Valley remix right now. I also have to prepare this year’s X-Mas mix already, time passes by so quickly!

Trance Spirit

Why am I still announcing things…

I actually wanted to post a Gerudo Valley remix this time, but things kinda got in the way and I have to postpone it a bit. I want it to be good after all!

Instead, we have an interesting little (big) project today, that’s been waiting for its release for over 3 years! I started working on this song back then, but neither released nor even finished the song. So that’s what I did. I tried to finally finish that song. Honestly, the result isn’t THAT satisfying, but I assure you I did all I could.

The song is mainly a remix of Fighting of the Spirit from the Tales of series (for reference I’ll put Tales of Phantasia here) although I threw some Disciple Month references in there as well. It features some original parts and parts of the song that I barely (never) used in the Disciple Month mixes.

And here’s the video:

Despite the name, I wouldn’t even call this trance at all…

Hopefully I can finish Gerudo Valley till next time. As for the next OST focus, we’ll have the mini bosstheme of Luigi’s Terrific Quest (LTQ).

That’s about it, I hope you enjoyed the latest mix. Stay tuned!
