Come promesso mi sono preso una 'pausa sabbatica' dal postare in questo thread, altrimenti altro che portatili, facevo esplodere i PC della NASA
Riprendo con un carico da 90 , l'intera OST di uno dei giochi che più mi ha colpito negli ultimi anni, NieR. Criticato da molti, su una cosa la posizione è pressochè unanime: la soundtrack è qualcosa di FAVOLOSO.

Metto la mia preferita in assoluto, quando questa musica parte nel gioco... you know you are REALLY f*cked up.
You've always been.
VideoMa si va , come bonus metto anche una delle più tristi DEL MONDO. Ogni volta che la sento mi viene la pelle d'oca.
VideoAh, per intenderci, la traduzione del testo di quasi tutte le canzoni... non esiste. Nel senso, le canzoni sono volutamente cantate in una versione 'distorta dal passare dei secoli' di lingue in uso comune oggi, come inglese, portoghese, francese e italiano. Song of the Ancients nello specifico è in un linguaggio totalmente inventato dalla performer, l'unica in una lingua reale è Ashes of Dreams (le 4 versioni sono in inglese, francese, gaelico e giapponese) ma è cantata come una sciarada
(la ligua del testo è mischiata tra le 4 versioni).
CITAZIONE
The vocals and lyrics were provided by vocalist Emi Evans (Emiko Rebecca Evans), a singer from England living in Tokyo. She is the singer for the band freesscape, and had previously worked on video game projects such as the Etrian Odyssey arrange albums. The Monaca team had met her when considering her for a prior project, and Okabe wanted to work with her on Nier. She was approached a few months after the initial meeting in Autumn 2008 to be the vocalist for the soundtrack. In addition to singing, Evans was asked to write her own lyrics in futuristic languages. The composers gave her preliminary version of songs and the style they wished the language to be in, such as Scottish Gaelic or French, and she invented the words. Evans wrote songs in versions of Scottish Gaelic, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, French, English and Japanese, and wrote "Song of the Ancients" in an entirely fictional language. She wrote that song by listening to songs in as many languages as possible and jumbling them up together. For the other languages, she tried to imagine what they would sound like after 1000 years of drifting

Evans: MoNACA would send me very rough arrangements of the songs, 1,2 or 3 at a time, with instructions of what sort of language they wanted me to write in. For example “Kaine,” they asked me write in a Gaelic sounding language, “The Wretched Automatons” in futuristic English and “Grandma” in futuristic French.

Apart from the final closing theme, “Ashes of Dreams,” the lyrics have no meaning-they are just a means by which to create a special atmosphere.
With “Ashes of Dreams,” NieR’ s producer, Mr. Yoko, gave me a list in Japanese of all the key words he wanted me to use. I translated each word into English, French and Gaelic (not German, as is suggested!), then scattered them throughout each song, twisting each word slightly so that the sound would be different but to just me and the team, it would have meaning. If you listen to the English version of “Ashes of Dreams” you `ll understand what I`m singing about on the other versions too!
