Anyone a fan of Akira Yamaoka? He did a great job on the SH OST's.

Yes his music is really good, it fits perfectly in the games Smile

I love the Silent Hill franchise's music, but I wouldn't know which songs he composed. I just like all of the music in the games. I do know who Mary-Elizabeth McGlynn is though. <3

He composed all of the songs.

Who's Akira Yamaoka?

Subject: Re: Akira Yamaoka Mon Apr 26, 2010 5:56 am

Played any of the Silent Hill games? He composed the soundtrack for all the games that are currently out.

Has anyone heard his iFuturelist album? I've got it and love it. Especially the tracks Maria and April Fools Song.

I first heard of Akira Yamaoka after I went to go see the Silent Hill movie when it came out. Kick-ass movie by the way if you haven't seen it!

The ending/credits theme song was "You're Not Here", and I loved how it sounded so I went home and searched it.

It was a great movie adaptation, but the plot was kinda bad. At least it had the atmosphere of the games, and it had awesome live monsters Smile

My favorite songs by him are 'Promise (Reprise)', as well as a lot of others.

Promise is a great song yes, I managed to get a hold of the OST from SH 1 2 3 4 and Homecoming.
I like Laura's Theme a lot.

I like ''Tears of...", "Theme of Laura (reprise)", "Dance with the night wind", and a lot more. But those are my favorite.

Silent Hill wouldn't be as good without the current music that's for sure Smile

Subject: Re: Akira Yamaoka Thu Apr 29, 2010 10:19 am

True, it basically needs some ambient noises.

Subject: Re: Akira Yamaoka Sun Jan 02, 2011 12:51 am

I love his work on the Silent Hill OSTs, I have everyone so far

There's a new Silent Hill complete OST collector's set for around 180 dollars in US...I don't know the link, however.
