You may know iamyank who makes kind of soulful futuristic electronic music that can sometimes fit post rock too. (Sorry for labeling the music but it is for the industry, if you know what is the closest genre of it, you can get a hint if you want this or not. If you do, you can grab a copy and support the artist.) So, iamyank and his friends made a unique collaboration for his latest EP, Lost Sounds. I don't want to analyze and rate the game because these blog is not about games. I just put here some screenshots. I let you decide from the title and the pics, like we used to play games on Commodore64 when we were kids. You knew hardly anything about the game, there were no tutorials. Just loaded it and started to play. You discovered the whole game during you played with it, and that was awesome. So, go and download it: Play Store, iTunes.
And let's get back to Lost Sounds EP! The first track Lowlands completely reminds me of a German electronic duo - who are unfortunately not active -, Dadamnphreaknoizphunk. If you like the sounds of Lowlands, try the Germans' 1999 album, Electric Crate Digger. The Bird Tamer is post rock for me while of course it is not post rock. Put more guitars, cymbals, lower the drums and you'll get it. :) Marching Metronome is not as cold as you think from its title (during the game it was my fav level when this track was played). It has some serious tribe feeling, like you get some peyote and follow the saman - see, I told, this is my favourite! Okay, prepare because Lotus is the next. It is like Jean Michel Jarre and French electronic music from the golden 70-80s era. You got the tribe trip, now you get outer space! I want to have an extended version of it, 7-8 minutes of these topics could become an even better track. The Untold and beyond - it is interesting if there is a vocal, the music just get mainstream. Mainstream in a good way, I mean it is like a radio hit. Okay, I can't get out of this spiral. Listen to it and you'll see. I am very critical with female vocals. Dori's tone is not my famous one but listening to the track again and again, I am getting more than okay with it. Anyway she reminds me Sarah Blasko. During the game I felt that as I was heading to the end of the game, the music was just geting better and better. Maybe it is because of the game (you know you are going the climax, the peak) but it is also working with the tracks, Turbo and Pauza is a great grand finale!
Summa summarum: this is my first advice in the blog like that, but please don't download iamyank's Lost Sounds!Download the game on Play Store or iTunes!
Because in this way you can get the EP too. Of course, not everyone is a gamer, but don't think of this as a game. Think of it as an adventure, a discovery. Don't miss the chance of playing with Poco Eco. It is great, the music is awesome, you will have an incredible journey.
