Akiko Yano: ト・キ・メ・キ & BROOCH

 Here are two other albums from Ms. Yano I recently acquired from an anonymus uploader! Both a slightly more stripped albums with more focus on Yano and her piano. While ト・キ・メ・キ holds her more familiar sound, BROOCH is a more eclectic/avantgarde tribute to french composers. The album isn't for everyone but I do think it has some really enjoyable tracks and any fan of hers' should check it out. More reposts and such will be on their way but I may be without internet for a short period of time so it may not be until later in the month. Thanks to all my steady visitor and any newcomers. Comments are always appreciated! Enjoy!

Masahiro Andoh: Arc the Lad Original Game Sound Track

Arc the Lad is a strategy RPG game that was developed for the Playstation One in 1995. It was also the first video game soundtrack to be composed by Masahiro Andoh of The Square/T-Square fame. Andoh would go on to compose a multitude of game soundtracks including  the games two sequels. These were eventually released State side in a wonderful compilation thanks to now defunt Working Designs. While I enjoy the games for what they are, they aren't personal favorites but the music for the first game is fantastic. The album featured is arranged version of the protagonists themes and orchestral arrangements of the games themes. Even if you aren't familiar with the game or play games, the soundtrack is a definitely listen for any fan of Andoh. Enjoy!
