Just been listening to this in the car. Slightly surreal but amazing to hear video game music on commercial UK radio.

 

[iNvid02]

i can go back and relisten to this right? missed the beginning, really want to hear beyond

 

[jonno394]

Luigis Mansion coming up next apparently


Classic FM ‏@ClassicFM 1m
Mario gets all the attention - Luigi needs time to shine. More #VideoGameMusic coming next - bring a torch!

edit - @barnesemma56 is still at it

 

[mcmmaster]

Gonna take a wild guess and say the composer that made this upcoming request is Grant Kirkhope

 

[Oidisco]

LUIGI'S MANSION!

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

The next one is

Spoiler

Luigi's Mansion

I think

It is. I love this theme so much. I hope it's a sequel mix, since the level themes in that were great.

 

[KimonoNoNo]

Got twitter open at the same time as listening and the feedback for this show is great, but I see one classically trained singer who doesn't seem impressed with videogame music being played on classic FM, her responses to all tweets by Classic FM involve "my eye is hurting" I love Schubert" "wow such inspiration for me to sing"

I take it she doesn't like the music...

Lol, Haters gonna hate.

 

[Exterminieren]

Luigi's Mansion!

Holy crap, this is surreal.

 

[figadapaura]

I doubt we'd see Fallout as it's quite abstract, but some Skyrim by Jeremy Soule would be great.

Dragonborn was 2nd (or 3rd?) on their list of 100 best classical tracks so it's possible.

Yes, you can.

 

[javac]

Oh the other brother

 

[Meteorain]

Apparently I missed the Zelda stuff. Opened up on Halo 3.

 

[mclem]

Except that I *think* that appeared in the March show so I'm not sure they'd play it again.

Edit: It didn't! That's a possibility, then.

 

[JonathanEx]

I think it's the version from the Greatest Video Game Music 2 album? Not sure.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Yeah he's actually listing likewise composers and styles, I like this guy.

Not on Twitter but I'd love to link her this.

I wonder if she'd appreciate it.

 

[mclem]

Outcast! Now that's out of the blue.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Outcast callback lol

 

[FirLocke]

I'm really liking this guy. I'm actually going to listen to Classic FM more now.

 

[gngf123]

Damn, Outcast.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Never heard of Outcast before, man looking at it (and listening to it), that must have been mind blowing back in 1999.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Back in the day, you had Outcast, and Total Annihilation as go-to soundtracks where people couldnt believe they were for vidyagames!

 

[strangedopamine]

Haven't heard of Outcast before either. Will definately listen to more from it afterwards.

 

[cjp]

Skyrim's Far Horizons would be a good shout.

 

[Atrophis]

This track is incredible.

 

[Uzzy]

I'm really liking this guy. I'm actually going to listen to Classic FM more now.

He did a great documentary series last year called The Story of Music, which was basically looking at the whole history of music. Really enjoyed it.

 

[JON4495]

Hope its the MoH main theme

 

[Meteorain]

Hope its the MoH main theme

It is.

 

[jonno394]

Michael Giacchino :bravo: This is a great piece.

Think I need to rewatch LOST soon

 

[~Kinggi~]

I like how they are bringing in relevant history for a lot of this and not just throwaway crap.

 

[Lyonaz]

Goosebumps! I love the MOH theme. Michael Giacchino <3

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

I like how they are bringing in relevant history for a lot of this and not just throwaway crap.

Yeah some obvious choices like Zelda, and more obscure stuff. I'm just enjoying the pleasant music if I'm honest!

 

[Uzzy]

I can hear why he got picked to do the Jurassic World sound track.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Yeah some obvious choices like Zelda, and more obscure stuff. I'm just enjoying the pleasant music if I'm honest!

More talking about the facts being stated behind the music and how it helped VG music evolve to its status.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Journey, yaaaas.

 

[Lyonaz]

Journey!!

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

More talking about the facts being stated behind the music and how it helped VG music evolve to its status.

That's true enough.

Man, I hope Journey gets a Vita port so I can play it at some point.

 

[SeriuzBiznus]

Oh such a good choice. The Journey soundtrack is incredible.

 

[figadapaura]

Yay Journey.

 

[~Kinggi~]

This track is definitely one of the best in a while.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

omg, apotheosis, this is the best thing <3 prepare for feels

 

[iNvid02]

did not expect anything in journey would outshine its gorgeous visuals but wintory managed it with the soundtrack.

 

[DukeBobby]

I was hoping they would play this. Incredible track.

 

[Hyperactivity]

Got in just in time for the greatest part of Apothesis. YES

 

[~Kinggi~]

I cant imagine someone hearing this for the first time on the radio and disliking it.

 

[Hyperactivity]

Yeah, Id like to see the reactions of someone who doesn't game that much to this music

 

[jonno394]

If Xenoblade theme shows up on this show I will pee a little.

 

[mclem]

If Xenoblade theme shows up on this show I will pee a little.

It was listener nominations, so... it's not impossible.

Elder scrolls confirmed to be coming up. Along with Lair, Batman, and I didn't quite catch the rest. (A witch? One of the world's best-loved animation studios?)

 

[dave_m123]

The Mass Effect Piano track was lovely

 

[figadapaura]

Elder Scrolls coming up.

 

[robotrock]

I really liked the Lair soundtrack
