Pastagames, a studio based in France, has announced the playlist for thier new rhythm-platform DS title due out this autumn and what an eclectic mix it is ! everything from Madness to Mozart to traditional songs from France, Russia etc. and why not ? everything’s beginning to get a little samey in the music game genre.
Pastagames have split the 24 works into 6 different “mood-style” sections or “universes” as they are referred to.
Green Grove: a colourful and flowery universe, full of exotic animals and lush vegetation. Rhythmic bass and afro beats inspire the music selection here.
- Ludwig Van Beethoven – Symphony No. 5
- Antonin Dvorak – Symphony No.9, From the New World
- Madness – Our House
- Traditional Japanese song – Sakura Sakura
Purple Sonata: what better music for a 17th Century palace with statues and marbling-a-go-go, than a classical sound, as baroque as you like, that has stood the test of time?
- Jean Sebastien Bach – Little Fugue in G Minor
- Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart – A Little Night Music
- Perren, Mizell et al.– ABC
- Traditional French song – Vent Frais, Vent du Matin
Yellow Allegro: sojourn under the Italian sun in Venice where only the cursed seagulls throw a shadow over the scene. The music is typical of the setting: odes to joy, and love in the form of mandolin solos.
- Eduardo Di Capua – O Sole Mio
- The Animals – The House of the Rising Sun
- Antonio Vivaldi – The Four Seasons
- Traditional English song – Greensleeves
Indigo Flow: a change of scenery and a free-dive to thousands of metres below the water’s surface! Rare air bubbles ring out and myriad species of fish resonate with sound at every touch.
- Erik Satie – Gymnopedie No.1
- Pyotr Tchaikovsky – The Nutcracker
- Screamin’ Jay Hawkins – I Put a Spell on You
- Traditional Russian song – Otchi Chornye
Black out Beats: a spatial inspiration for this voyage beyond the solar system against a backdrop of starry skies and melting planets. The sounds tend towards the psychedelic: strange attractors winning out over gravity.
- Johannes Brahms – Hungarian Dances
- Edvard Grieg – Peer Gynt
- Leonard Bernstein – The Magnificent 7
- Traditional song adapted for Bizet’s Carmen – El Arreglito
Red Hot tempo: the Wild West, steam trains and gunslinging cowboys–even Charles Bronson’s reflexes would be put to the test in this Leone-inspired nightmare.
- M. Gore, D. Pitchford – Fame
- Ennio Morricone – The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
- Isaac Albeniz – Asturias
- American Traditional song – When the Saints Go Marching In
