Music: Rusty Ruin Zone

Recently some tune popped into my head. I knew it was from a video game, but I just couldn't pinpoint it. After doing some searching I suddenly realized it was from Sonic 3D Blast, in Rusty Ruin Zone. Found the song on youtube:

This is probably the best song in any Sonic game, and maybe the best on the Genesis. It's one of those amazing game tunes that's ridiculously catchy and just sounds.. awesome. Brings back good memories!

Music: Mindthings

A while back I found out about some really nice music from a minecraft video I watched. The artist is called Mindthings, it's ambient electric/piano music with a beat. It is very soothing and pleasant, so I recommend it to anyone who wants music to help them relax.

The album I've been listening to is called "Life's Path". Download it here.

Some of my favorite songs are "Emotion Vibes", "Life's Things", and "Cold Water". The songs vary a lot in complexity and instrumentation, check them out!

Anime, Music: Two catchy AMVs.

When I went to anime club recently, I saw two AMVs (anime music videos) that caught my attention, because they were very well made and had catchy music. One uses the song "Dream a Dream" by Captain Jack, and features clips from the movie "Paprika". The other uses the song "Mad World" by Tears for Fears, and features clips from the show "Paranoia Agent". Both Paprika and Paranoia Agent were directed by Satoshi Kon, a man who made many intriguing things in his lifetime. He has since passed away, but his films are as vivid as ever (I watched Perfect Blue again recently, it was still awesome).

Video, Music: Minecraft Ant Farm (Computer People)

Here is a really charming Minecraft video I have had bookmarked for a while.

The song that plays is called "Computer People" by Dj Red Light. It matches the spirit of Minecraft perfectly, little people running around making amazing things happen. I like the beat and especially the computer-speech-synth-generated lyrics.

"They dont ask for anything for their hard work and dedication, only a little love"

I love how the voice says "don't" as "dont".
