To complete the trilogy of Spirit tracks, I'm going to post a song that I'm not especially a big fan of, but the opening verse just resonates with me when I'm in the mood (most of the time). I do confess I've hit skip a few times it's randomly cropped into a playlist as it generally will destroy a mood and get me to think dark thoughts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vm6BBvYle4Y It seems like the video is a mashup some guy did. More interesting than the official one. Opening verse. People Do we call this trying? We're hopeless Forget the denying Our souls are corrupt Our minds are messed up Our consciences bankrupt Oh, we're fucked https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vm6BBvYle4Y

I hate posting single tracks at a time, so I'm going to take a few minutes and highlight (probably) my favourite track of the album Spirit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZYFy-WiWv4 It's a bonus track on the Deluxe Edition, but most fans have it anyway! The remix is largely instrumental with a few vocal samples, but the percussion and sounds / effects are just killer. I learn to like electronic music with percussion with Prodigy and since Mode now have a permanent drummer, I imagine the mix of machine and human drums is what makes this track stick out for me. I hope I'm not the only one! EDIT: nothing wrong with the regular version of Scum. I just prefer this one. #depechemode #spirit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZYFy-WiWv4

Whenever I start listening to a Mode album, I go through this phase of discovering and getting into the tracks as I develop a feel for each one. My favourite track varies over time and I'll come back to the album and realize a I like most of it and love some of the tracks just a bit more than the rest. Today the Worst Crime just won me over. I think it's a combination of the soft vocal and the minimalist arrangement. I got the sense that the vocal married with the subtle backing was so moving. This extract also just resonated with the world. Every now and then a subtle guitar or synth note will punctuate the vocal. I sit and wonder how the song would be without that note. Jazz fans talk about the space between notes, but a band that makes music for 30 years can do it in rock or electronica and I would imagine its true for really talented musicians in every genre. Mmm. RunDMC & Beastie Boys did that when they were younger so maybe I'm full of crap. This verse g

So, to hold myself accountable, I'm going to post the current WIP opening start screen of my game. The font scaling is horrible and the terrain/scenery needs a lot of work. The water effect is ok, but need something more stylish / cartoonish. I'm going to look at some low poly assets when I work on this again. Currently bashing my head against the wall with Pythagoras in the game itself! The cube's rotate and the water has reflections. Haven't tested on my phone yet...

Also, if you're more likely to code than compose, try https://sonic-pi.net/ Watch some videos on Youtube. Really nice to make your own soundtracks using scripting. Music can easily be broken down into verse/chorus/sequences mapped to loops, conditional jumps, etc. https://sonic-pi.net/

Any guitarists out there? Also might help musically minded people in general. Not sure for how long this free offer will last. https://www.riffstation.com/ https://www.riffstation.com/
