Anglerbe's Soundtrack of the Week

Silent Hill Origins

Illusion In Me
This one's actually I game I haven't beaten--yet. An LP is underway, and will EVENTUALLY be finished. In the meantime, I can simply reinforce the statement that Silent Hill games always have exceptional music. Deeply metaphorical, melancholy, and yet some glimmer of hope. It seems to me that it reflects the series well. This particular track is no exception to the rule, and thus far I think its well suited to the origin story.

Anglerte's Soundtrack of the Week

Silent Hill

One of the most gruesome, bizarre and mutually depressing moments in the game, and perhaps of all games, this track perfectly highlights the horrific and striking loss of peace, hope and happiness caused by the curse of Silent Hill on Lisa Garland. The helplessness, hopelessness and pity assumed by Harry Mason after witness such a devastating loss of innocence are undoubtedly referenced by the name of the soundtrack, "Not Tomorrow". In an intriguing way, the song itself seems to serve as the mourning and compassionate sentiment that almost every other aspect of the plagued, hellish town seems to lack. In context, this is perhaps the most depressing soundtrack ever featured in a video game. Out of context, same thing.

Silent Hill Theme

 This track is one of the best in all of gaming. Akira Yamaoka definitely put work into this piece. With a plethora of instruments, the song transitions between many different moods in a smooth-flowing and effective manner, from the eerie mandolin intro to the James Bond segment.
