Choon of the Month: Song for Zula


Original video located here. Accessed 3rd March 2015

Song title: Song For Zula

Artist: Phosphorescent

Year: 2013

Why I like this song:

Sometimes songs take time to reach you. And this was one such case.

I guess because sometimes it takes some life experiences to make one connect with a particular song. And the humiliation and disappointment is strong with this one...

The Asian Connection: The Key of the Twilight


Original video located here. Accessed 10th April 2020

Song title: The Key of the Twilight

Artist: Emily Bindiger / Bee Train

Year: 2002

Why I like this song:

.hack//SIGN seems destined to remain a divisive series. It's critics slam it for being slow moving, dialogue heavy and frequently spending an awful lot of time building up something that turns out to be pointless.
But you wouldn't say a bad word regarding it's soundtrack. It's a compelling blend of folk, electronic and layers of female vocals. All through the guiding hand of one Yuki Kajiura.
Its just the thing for any high fantasy adventure and wouldn't have been out of place in any MMORPGur. 

Personally, I don't know what kind of creative juices Kajiura is running but I want some of it.
