The Magnetic Fields

Posted on June 1, 2011 at 5:03 am by admin

The Magnetic Fields are an American four piece band, led by singer/songwriter Stephen Merritt. The music style is flexible, with unpredictable and ever-changing genres, making it difficult to pigeon-hole or easy to categories, depending on which way you look at it! Indie-pop, Synthpop, folk-pop and noise-pop are all the titles offered so far. What you can expect from this band is an experimental and disconnected array of music that eventually connects through its recognisably ironic lyrics and significant vocalist; Stephen Merritt, made familiar through his distinctive and untrained bass-baritone voice.

Lead singer Stephen Merritt, carries a vast song-writing portfolio, having written pieces for Television shows, Advertisements, Theatrical productions, Film, solo projects and of course The Magnetic Fields. The band formed in 1991, after a couple of title changes they eventually stuck with their given name and went on to perform at small venues with scarce crowds. This all changed in 1999 thanks to the release of 69 Love Songs, their best known work to date. Lead vocals are either sung by Merritt or band member Claudia Gonson, (percussion/piano/vocals and group manager) as well as guest vocalists; Shirley Simms, Dudley Klute and L.D Beghto. A three-volume concept album that does what it says on the cover; 69 love songs all written by Merritt. Who denies however that this album is about love: Continue reading →

Unforgettable Music from Video Games

Posted on May 11, 2011 at 4:05 am by admin

Video Games have been becoming a much more mature medium and have since been a suitable platform for certain artistic talents to be displayed mid game, whether it is the stunning scenery design, an emotional score or an expertly constructed FMV.

Here is a list of my top soundtracks that accompanied some great games in recent and years gone by.

1.       Jet Set Radio Future
This cel-shaded masterpiece had the perfect weighting of accessible game play, great visuals and a superb soundtrack. It was an all rounder and it was a true shame that this game didn’t do as well as perhaps it should have.

It’s music can be described as a mixture between neofolk and darkwave: grounded on acoustic guitars, combined with dreamy or dark synths and whispering, haunting vocals. Sometimes dark romantic, sometimes apocalyptic. Always nature-loving, always driven by melancholy.
