My Top 5 Miracle of Sound Songs (so far)
By Tofin 1 Comments
For the uninitiated, Miracle of Sound (Gavin Dunne to people who prefer to use real names instead of internet monikers) is the guy behind the 'Commander Shepard' song and video that caught the eye of the internet a while back. He's done a lot of really good and varied stuff since then, like a jazz song about LA Noire or a metal song about Left 4 Dead. And out of all his songs, here are my favorites so far.
Number 5
Redemption Blues
Redemption Blues is on this list specifically because of the final chorus, specifically around where the 'Justice ain't no lady...' verse begins. I love quiet music that gets bigger and louder as the song goes on, and Redemption Blues exemplifies that perfectly.
Number 4
Age of the Dragon
There's something about the way Mr. Dunne's voice sounds in this one that I really dig. I've never played the Dragon Age games, and Dragon Age 2 in particular isn't something I'm thrilled about picking up, but this songs seems to really paint DA2 in a positive light, and is making me reconsider skipping it entirely. The chorus is sung pretty damn well and the mix of guitars really...do...something good. Man, I don't know. I'm not a music critic.
Number 3
Fire in Your Hole
The feeling I get from this song is the same feeling I get from eating one of the best fast food burger I've ever had in my life. The (well-sung) chorus is about a psycho shitting his pants and the verses are basically about all the wonderful ways you can kill somebody, but I'll be damned if it isn't really good.
Number 2
Comin' For Your Tank
Out of all the songs on this list, I think this one personifies the game in question the most. This is exactly how going up against a tank in Battlefield 3 feels.
Also it actually managed to make me like a electronica song. That's no mean feat.
Number 1
Sovngarde Song
It sounds really good, okay?
