Message: [QUOTE="Ajderniz, post: 46537, member: 12"] Secret of Mana's Oracle theme: [MEDIA=youtube]F8D3iX2b9Uc[/MEDIA] In looking it up, I found out that the remake has a different song, which sounds as incredible as the original: [MEDIA=youtube]gknGK47E7cM[/MEDIA] Both versions seem to employ samples from what I've read is Balinese music, like this: [MEDIA=youtube]UEWCCSuHsuQ[/MEDIA] I like the sound of the marimba-like instrument you can see in the background. It's called [I]gamelan[/I], it seems. I remember I used to enjoy a compilation labeled simply as "gamelan music", or something like that, but can't find it again. It has a drastically distinct scale, from I can hear, and when I goes slower, generates perplexing, hard to reproduce melodies. [B]As a side-note:[/B] Now that I managed to bring up folk music... If you like Evergrace's OST, you may be eligible to win a one-way ticket to [B][I]getting into south american folk music[/I][/B][I]. [/I]Or really, any sub-equatorian country's music, East Asian, perhaps. My area of expertise is SA, though. A good umbrella term to begin is "andean music", but my entryway was trhough Dungeon Synth -> CUSCO -> whatever I found next that sounded similar. Maybe I'll append an example later. [/QUOTE]
