The sole (lyrical) vocal track from Module’s original album Imagineering (released last year, reviewed here), entitled “The Pieces Fit,” now has a music video. I am psyched out of my mind to watch it.
For those who don’t remember, Jeramiah “Module” Ross is the New Zealand-based musician who was also responsible for the hit soundtrack for the game Shatter. If you’ve never seen it, that soundtrack also has its own music video, for the song “Amethyst Caverns.”
So, earlier I announced a live show where I, alongside some VGM-loving colleagues, will be streaming some Yuzo Koshiro music and going over some Koshiro history and factoids (in preparation for his visit at MAGFest 11). That’s happening tonight. In a few hours, to be precise (9pm Eastern US).
Another 8 hours will pass, and then a far greater livestream will occur. Jeramiah “Module” Ross will be performing at the “San Francisco Bath House” (don’t let the name fool you — it’s in New Zealand). This will be livestreaming via Google Hangouts, and will later be compiled on YouTube and a live DVD as well.
Visit this site for a countdown and information for watching the stream (it’s starting at 5am my time, which is east coast USA, so I’m setting my alarm early!). See if you have what it takes to wake up (or stay up!) for the show.
This is the least surprising album review I’ll ever write.
You see, Jeramiah Ross (aka “Module”) composed this amazing game soundtrack 3 years ago. Remember Shatter? Yeah, that was awesome.
In 2012, Module finished his original album “Imagineering.” According to his statements in our most recent podcast, some of these songs have been bouncing around in Module’s mind (and computer) for as many as six years. Given time to mature, they’ve become something absolutely stunning.
We’ll highlight some of our favorite tracks, and why they’re our favorites, after the jump. (more…)
Sidhe’s newest title, Shatter, is a downloadable PS3-exclusive brick-breaking game in the style of Arkanoid. It’s the coolest thing to come out of New Zealand since the Lord of the Rings films.
But the game, fun as it is, may not be as good as its soundtrack (at least, a price comparison might suggest this to be the case). Composed by Jeramiah Ross, whose musical moniker is “Module,” this retro-inspired blend of electronica and space-age rock is guaranteed to grab your attention.
So this is what you’ll want to do. Head to Bandcamp’s free-to-listen stream of the soundtrack, and while you’re listening, you can read my thoughts on the album: after the jump. (more…)
