![David Wojciechowski & Victor Fritzsche - Gato [FULL ALBUM]](/img/n.gif)
If you want music about Scheherazade check out the album Scheherazade and other stories by the band Renaissance, the second half is a complete dedication to 1001 Nights
Everyone should listen to Renaissance
Great album
Baesd
this is so good. any more music like this?
@@gloooby6157 I’d recommend all of the catalog of Renaissance, though the first few albums are a very different band though made up mostly of members of the old Yardbirds at that point. If you like the progressive style there’s loads of bands from the late 60’s to late 70’s (check out Yes, Genesis[anything before the album with the toy blocks on the cover], Emerson Lake and Palmer, etc.)
Shameless self promotion but I have also personally released an album of Prog rock music recorded exclusively to analog tape without any use of digital recording methods called Candle Opera!
Edit: Also! Those bands just scratch the surface of the genre as they are great entry points! Try some non-English music from that time like PFM(kind of an Italian ELP), Le Orme, NYL, and Aphrodites Child. Some more modern bands that have Prog elements would be Big Big Train, Wobbler, Squid, and for some Neo/80’s Prog revival type stuff try Marillion or Prog metal if you’re into heavier stuff. I could talk for hours and hours about bands and music, so I apologize if this is just a huge block of text you’re not going to read
I was wondering why I got a bunch of Bandcamp activity out of nowhere in January.
i kept meaning to say but thanks so much, I'm so happy this video found its way to you. seriously love your music and earthbound is one of the best albums ever
you know the video is gonna be good when it starts with footage from looney tunes back in action
All games except looney toons back in action ironicly
Brilliant opening btw ❤🎉
So true
or the thumbnail is a spoof on sgt peppers
Worth mentioning that the Spanish word for "female explorer" is exploradora. I believe this is where Dora (the cartoon)'s name comes from and is probably the source of the pun in the Stackridge song
I was about to say that
Another Lennon inspiration is Electro Spector who's pose is John's notoriously silly walk
i've always wondered if the final section of Pink Floyd's "Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast" influenced the coffee break music in MOTHER 2.
Knowing that The Beach Boys were a huge inspiration for this soundtrack is such an incredibly vindicating feeling. Also explains why this is one of my favorite game OSTs bcuz the Beach Boys are the GOATs
I feel like it's worth mentioning the Beach Boys song that's sampled, Deirdre, comes from their amazing album Sunflower that's 100% worth listening too. It's probably their best album outside of the behemoth that is Pet Sounds. And Sunflower really shows that as much of an amazing musician Brian is, the other Beach Boys were just as capable of writing amazing and beautiful songs, especially Forever, easily Dennis Wilson's best song.
I am well aware of XTC and adore them (and am Queer, haha) but you really blew my mind by unveiling that Harry Partridge is Andy Partridge's son, which in hindsight, makes so much sense. Glad I'm not the only one who knows about the Rockband Oasis piece he did.
Fantastic work and research on such eclectic pieces of music, your videos are so well researched and documented and fun and your musicscape player are a joy to watch, thank you.
Now I'm going to indulge in going through Stackridge's back catalogue.
You know it's a Geno7 video if there's a reference to Frank Zappa ⚡👍⚡
No me esperaba que de la nada sonara "Ven, devórame otra vez" una canción que llevo escuchando toda mi vida y resulta que inspiró una parte de EarthBound.
Tienes buena pronunciación, me hace sospechar que eres bilingüe.
Randy Newman's Lost Without You lives so much in my heart. For all his silliness and cutting satire, his heartfelt writing can be a legendary level of heartbreaking.
so glad snoopy concert gets a mention in a video by one of my favorite video makers about my favorite series ever
edit: and also pauls boutique??? hell yeah???
As a latin american, it´s always nice to see some representation of our music in videogames. Nice work as always, Geno!!
The first 4 notes of the Twinkle Elementary School melody are definitely the same as the Japanese school bell chime most people heard from elementary to high school
I heard it here too in American elementary school! It's the Westminster Chime, originally British, and for some reason that I'm sure is well documented somewhere, it's everywhere in Japan to this day
ZAPPA MENTIONED !!!! Fantastic video btw, love seeing you deep dive this kind of stuff as a vgm fan
1 hour video about a very niche topic: "hello"
me:
"fuc yes"
you mentioning cardiacs on 20:20 is exactly how i feel every time i shout cardiacs out too LMAOOOOO
This is fucking incredible. Going through the artists and albums discussed in this video has been an absolute joy. A particular highlight in my personal dive has been Moonriders' self-titled album, it's already become a new favorite of mine.
Also as someone who's primarily familiar with Shogo Sakai through his work on the Kirby franchise, I'd love to see you cover his work on Mother 3 and the influences on his work
YESSS a Geno banger once more!! 🎉
I do miss my limbs though
A video on one of my favorite topics was posted to one of my favorite channels? Seeing this in my UA-cam feed was a dream come true!
You have my gratitude and respect for endeavoring to create this video. All of those albums are sitting in a folder on my laptop, but I haven't gotten around to listening to a good chunk of them yet. ( _Consquences_ is my favorite of the bunch!) This video helped someone such of myself who doesn't come from a musical background better understand what Tanaka and Suzuki were talking about in that part of interview. I'm glad that my video was able to be of some use to you in making this. 🙂
P.S.: I recommend listening to the Eagles' album _Hotel California_ , which was among the albums Itoi discussed with Tanaka when they first met. Tanaka pondered that the album's afterglow that lingers with you after listening to it, rather than any particular tracks, is at the foundation of his involvement with the series' soundtracks. (My source comes from the yet-untranslated majority of the very same interview.)
Cardiacs mention hit me out of nowhere, what
After finishing the video, I just wanted to take time to say that this video was a transcendant experience that is going to stay with me for a very long time. Earthbound is a game that has always been really special to me and getting to learn all the musical influences behind it was a feeling that I can't quite describe but I feel that you captured really well in this video. Thank you so much for taking me on that journey and for all your work in what was clearly a behemoth of a project.
i'm barely into the video and i already believe you deserve so much more recognition than you get, you are so cool
3:40 shoutouts to djpasta, djpasta does it again!
I love music, and I love MOTHER, and I LOVE MOTHER music… '_'
Came for Zappa, stayed for Weather Report and RTF, enjoyed the video overall. Never knew Mother had a lot of references and inspirations :O
It’s sometimes hard to remember but the 90s was all the hippie kids grown up and working in the industry so it makes total sense that this is the music that inspired the [Mother] series... it’s also like how nowadays devs are heavily inspired by the 90s (music and much more) but seriously thank you for making this video!
44:06 as a fan of De La Soul, especially of their rhythmic style, and separately a long time fan of EarthBound, this connection re-contextualizes one reason why I was able to connect with EarthBound’s music so organically. Awesome!
37:39 went back and gave 8:30 another listen. "Scarlet Woman" basically starts with the Onett meteor drop. There's so much MOTHER applicability going on in Zawinul's performance on "A Remark You Made" and the band's performance on "Badia/Boogie Woogie Waltz Medley" that i couldn't cover it all in a UA-cam comment.
So cool that you referenced Cory Johnson! I haven't ever heard anyone else talk about him, and I always loved his Zelda album. Thanks for reminding me to finally check out his other stuff, and great video as usual. I agree with pretty much every connection you made, and the use of "My Mummy's Dead" gave me chills...
As a non musically inclined person I can’t add much commentary to this, I just thought you should know that _this video_ is the straw that finally broke the camels back and made start up Earthbound for the first time. Excited to check out this obscure indie rpg everyone’s been buzzing about.
This is a fantastic video for a Mother-head like myself as you describe, but specifically for people who love listening to unconventional music or just general music that you don’t listen to as much nowadays and it feels great to have a video like this or the mother music influence iceberg, as a tool to listening to new artists and albums(gonna catch up on Randy Newman now lmao)❤️❤️💕💕 fantastic work yet again! Love what you put out
Summer’s Cauldron by XTC is basically “Earthbound : the song”. Listen to the organ sound and cricket sounds. Might be direct samples.
your videos about music are always such a wild ride! thank you!
This was freaking incredible. Thank you so much for making this
I love you soooooooo much for putting an Album List in the description! 💜
Ty Geno. I'm always happy to see your stuff on my home page!
your use of Poos training motif to bookend the whole project, and how you wrapped John lennons expirience back to the themes of the franchise was smooth. this is a masterpiece
amazing video!!
I was introduced to 10 cc via the Superjail!! pilot (which used Rubber Bullets instead of I’m Goin Home)
spectacular video, so much cool information (and so much music i need to catch up on)
ive been waiting for more music content from u for ages thank u icon
21:53 Unrelated to Mother but I believe this was sampled in Mario Paint!
Fantastic work
That video was incredible! Can't wait to dive into your other videos!
Super impressed! I wasn't expecting so much new info
Very nice video! Love your visuals
this is probably one of the best videos i've watched, thanks so much for your hard work
Thank you SO MUCH for this video. I have hours of new music to listen to
Great research, man!
'allegedly influenced cardiacs' lol, tim covered cross wires in panixphere and took the whole sequencing trick he uses on tracks like dive or duck and roger from english roundabout. great video, loving it, just had to annoy and point that out lmao.
impeccably well-researched video; keep up the bangers, geno!
this is one of the most entertaining and interesting videos ive watched in a while, i didnt realize it was an hour long until i was already 40 minutes in. im gonna be mad if it doesnt break 500k
this
Nice! I loved your Wario video and i'm glad you made one about earthbound (awesome)
Wonderful video
i love how deep and nerdy you go on the subject matter, cracking work fair plays
amazing videooooo, so excited to listen to all of these album. writing and editing were so great in this too. thank you for the great video!!!
Wow, this is monumental and opens so many doors to new music explorations! I'll be drawing things to listen to from this for a long time. Thank you
This video and Earthbound give me hope to move forward, thank you for making it!!!
Ok this is awesome, I've watched this video maybe 3 times already :D
Loved this video, it would be great to see videos like this focusing more on the music of mother 1 and 3 also.
This is a great video. I haven't played the Mother games but it's pretty cool learning about the music that influenced the soundtrack of the games.
Excellent video! I always leave your videos with so many new artists to check out. The cover of I Am Earthbound at the very end made me jump out of my seat and dance! Awesome reference and awesome cover
This is an absolutely fantastic video! I’ve been listening to a lot of music of this era recently and damn yeah it’s nuts how much MOTHER took inspiration from these phenomenal albums
Hell yeah dude, this is amazing. Your love for music shines through the whole video, it’s great to watch. Please keep it up!
This was incredible!
its actually amazing, with each section of the video you name another band that i absolutely love and had no idea influenced earthbound
fr all the oingo boingo people need to hop on XTC ive been waiting over a year
This was an incredibly detailed (in my opinion) dive into this topic. Thanks for the great video!
geno7 is the only guy who can upload an hour long video and I will give it my full attention and not just listen to it in the background, we eating good today boys
This video is incredible. It’s very informative on not only music I didn’t know but some I did know. Great work man, I love this a whole lot
I really hope this video blows up because you put in so much research into this project! Earthbound is one of my favorite games of all time (I even own the guidebook and cartridge), and the soundtrack is one of the reasons why the game is such a classic timeless piece of entertainment.
Congrats on the new video! I have been looking forward to your content since I don’t see a lot of videos focusing on music in games.
This is my first time coming across this channel, and only a few minutes in had me insta-subbing. Top quality editing and narrating.
youre so effortlessly good at talking about music without getting redundant. thanks for another incredible vid geno.
This video is already a top 10 UA-cam videos for me. Thank you
Been waiting for this one for so long!!! I love your ear for this stuff, and Mother’s soundtrack has always felt kind of underanalyzed despite how unique it is !!
This video is really good!!! I love your style of music dissection, and found a bunch of cool artists I didn't even know about. Thanks! Gonna watch your other stuff soon
the bridge of Winters theme reminds me a lot of the second verse from Sitting by Cat Stevens. this part: "I keep on wondering if I sleep too long"
and obviously the nice resolve of the winters theme when Nessie gives you a ride (as Jeff) is the resolve of With a Little Help From my Friends.. tho you probably will mention that
This video is genuinely, genuinely brilliant
I'm so happy that you made this video, and the article this video is based on influenced my music taste so much 9 years ago that I had forgotten that a lot of my taste is from that article! But that you went the extra mile by comparing the material made me excited to check out more of the music that I hadn't had the chance to understand yet.
Also the image from "but i'm a cheerleader" at 19:44 made me so happy (or gay)
Excellent video! I just wanna add that the melody in The Lost Underworld is also notably similar to the melody of Harry Nilsson’s “Daybreak”. It’s in a movie called “Son of Dracula” where I believe Nilsson and Ringo Starr play vampires.
That soundtrack is really fun if you can get your hands on it. Released on a sub label of Apple (Rapple), the album features Daybreak, multiple other Nilsson songs from Schmilsson and Son of Schmilsson, plus score, and dialogue from the movie. I think it would be a fun one to put on at a Halloween party!
Wonderful video, loved every second. The outro threw me for a loop, it sounds very much like the old game parody duo Duane and Brando!
Your Wario video turned me on to your channel. Always happy to see another great video like this :)
You're one of my favourite UA-camrs ❤
42:43 that part of Pokey Means Business sounds a lot like Milk It by Nirvana especially the end of the clip
thanks now i know shere the machine girl eeeeeeeee sound is from the beach boys
Which machine girl song?
Great video. I have a bunch of records I want now.
two more songs for your MOTHER Vibes playlist: "Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast" by Pink Floyd (the final section sounds like the Coffee Break music); and "HEARTBEAT" by COLORED MUSIC, which feels like some of the battle music
This is a really fantastic video, I hope more people get to see it.
Had no idea you were the artist behind Knives until halfway through and did a HUUUGE double-take.
Every single outro song I would listen to on it’s own
Oh Hell yeah! An hour long video about earthbound's music by geno7?! Your spoiling me!
"Lol Creme" is the funniest name I have ever heard
A video about music from The Powerpuff Girls would be pretty cool. I don't normally listen to EDM but the way that shows incorporates breakcore stuff into cinematic brass and string sounds is some of the best I've ever heard.
Really is amazing the enormous impact music had on shaping popular video game franchises.
Oh another one! The theme for the runaway five reminds me of The Changeling by The Doors !
The lyrics kinda fit too
Dude, why are you hiding anime art below the transparency of the album covers in your video editing? I can't unsee it now!
Excellent stuff. Thanks for all the insightful references about the sounds that influenced that generation of Japanese musicians.
Man I've listened to love and mercy so many times and played through earthbound twice and never realized the connection
