Sneezin's Greetings!
Ohtahh-ahh--CHOO!! *uses "Hello Kitty" tissues* --Sorry if this type of thread is played out, folks-- I have come, just in the past 4 years, to a deeper sense of appreciation for Hayao Miyazaki's (and Studio Ghibli's founding anime) Masterpiece: Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. -I'm finally learning too, more of it's spiritual connection with Princess Mononoke.... After obtaining some of the art books (blah, blah...), it was time to get some music -especially after wanting Narumi Yasuda's lovely little-old Nausicaä "symbol theme" J-pop song! (played with the original theatrical trailers) Not my REAL Q's, but if you please: -What's tha song really called? (+ the other track) -Were they poems Miyazaki-san wrote? --Who knows the LYRICS?? Thanks! The actual point of my thread is: Knowing full well the body of Joe Hisiashi's work for the movie was synthesizer, I picked up the "Image Album" with those old J-pop singles. I realize their isn't much traditional scoring, but I'm a little familiar with Kitaro and Vangelis, more especially Jan Hammer's work -so I appreciate that & I'm prepared... *gulp* (itunes has a WONDERFUL "Nausucaä symphonic poem: 1st movement" which basically is all the symphonic themes beautifully composed into one 9+ minutes of epically awesome music!! -Sounds like it's performed by the original "Wonder City Orchestra" too!) (Blah, blah & more BLAH...) So my main question is for those familiar with most/owning all of the music available on CD: -What is recommended between the: Soundtrack, "Best Collection" (highlights), High-Tech Series? -Which one has the most symphonic material? -Is the "Symphonic suite" album (w/opening tapestry-glyphs cover) the only one? -What is the "Drama CD"? (Nausicaä sitting on Ohmu w/spores cover) Mainly: --Which one would compliment my Image Album I just picked up? (don't worry, they're all authentic Tokuma Japan, Studio Ghibli Records CD's that I've bought -I respect BOTH artists too much to bootleg their magnificence!) This would be so kind of any of you crazy 80's synth-style, Nausicaä music lovin' soundtrack otaku's! I encourage also any enthusiastic replies from those who've enjoyed even just a sample of what "Yao-Miy" (some in other Asian countries, possibly Thailand call him that! Who knew?) and mainly Hisiashi-san experimented with to bring such a uniquely organic sound from digital instruments way back then. (crusty Neverending Story-like music era be DAMNED!!) thanks MUCH. Been awhile. Mike (who's run into Steven J. Blum AND Steve Conte within 2 months time recently=CRAZY) |
