Sound in Action #6 – Viva la Vocals
Some people would like to believe I record this podcast up in a tree fort with a cardboard sign on the door that reads, “No vocals allowed.” To them I present the sixth episode of the game music podcast, Sound in Action. 100% vocals. 100% awesome.
In this episode I take a look at vocal tracks from games as obscure as the cancelled version of Ragnarok Online 2 to as publicly appreciated as the indie darling, Bastion. There’s an unintentional consistency in style between many of the tracks, but music from Gravity Rush, Xenosaga II, and NieR come to the rescue with their wonderfully unusual sound.

Edgar Alan says:Loving the Monster Hunter Tri track you selected. The vocal harmonies are strange but very beautiful. Reminds me a little of the main theme from the film Ghost In The Shell:
