A lot of the Love-de-Lic members were big music fans, and their tastes covered a wide range of genres, so in that respect, gathering a range of artists wasn't a huge challenge."Īs I'd expect you'd expect, these are all over the map stylistically, from pop to jazz to funk to EDM to ambient to orchestral to Japanese traditional to Brazilian folk to-ĭisc 2 contains the original versions of the MD songs that were modified in some way for use in the game, from slight mixing differences to more substantial changes like shortening/extension, vocal changes, and rearrangement. "At first, we had considered creating the MD music ourselves, but we wanted the music to be authentic, rather than just an imitation. "In other words, musicians who believed in their work and were composing out of love. "I suppose you could say we chose people who were pursuing their own path," says. From a 2020 interview with Adachi and Taniguchi: While some of these songs were also composed by THELONIOUS MONKEES or their friends, the vast majority were just commissioned from random indie artists the staff liked. Most of the game's locations don't have dedicated background music, just environmental sound effects, so in these places you can play a custom playlist of songs you purchase from a store or find on the ground. The 2020 release includes six previously unreleased tracks, and several of them are among my favorites in the game, so I'm deffo glad about their eventual inclusion.ĭiscs 2-4 are devoted to the game's MD songs, playable through the in-game MD (Moon Disc) player.
A lot of the tracks do sound broadly like RPG music that's kinda weird, but the game is tonally pretty broad and as a result you'll hear jazz jams and vocals and weird electronica too. Most of the music was written by the developer's sound team of Masanori Adachi, Hirofumi Taniguchi, and Taro Kudo under the collective name THELONIOUS MONKEES (which Adachi and Taniguchi would continue using after leaving), but there are a few guest tracks by some of the external artists who also contributed MD songs (see next paragraph).

I'm going to be talking in this post about the 2020 definitive(?) soundtrack, EX-PO '97 In memoriam the moondays, which was self-published by two of the game's sound staff, Masanori Adachi and Hirofumi Taniguchi.
Moon remix rpg adventure hero Pc#
It got ported & translated for some consoles and PC a couple of years ago, so I just finished playing it last month and it was "pretty neato." moon is a chill exploration/puzzle experience about all the people in an RPG who aren't the hero, as they deal with the fact that they live in an RPG where there's a hero tromping around Doing Quests and Killing Monsters. Here's the quirky, eclectic soundtrack to a quirky, eclectic PS1 adventure game. Listening/music info: 1997 soundtrack (very incomplete), 2002 soundtrack (somewhat less incomplete), 2020 soundtrack (complete?) Info
