67 - NieR: Sounds of the World

It's hard to deny the power of NieR's music. Keiichi Okabe (and his company MONACA) created something remarkable in 2010 with the music of NieR Gestalt & Replicant. In 2017, lightning struck again with the soundtrack for NieR: Automata, a masterwork of instrumentation and emotion. There's a reason you can search for "NieR" on VGMdb and get over fifty results worth of albums. Original soundtracks, arrangements, multiple concert performances, and rare albums begin to cover the official releases. Then with people like Sean Schafianski, ROZEN + REVEN, and Ferdk, there's a wide variety of unofficial arrangements as well.The point is, there's a reason NieR and its music is so widely celebrated, and it's high time Rhythm Encounter had a show about it. So join Mike and the RPGFan NieR megafans Alana, Zach, and Patrick for a peek into the wide and varied world of music found in the NieR series.Featuring: Mike Salbato, Alana Hagues, Zach Wilkerson, Patrick Gann; Edited by Jonathan LoganLinks for this episodeKainé/Final Fantasy Main Theme from FFXIV (YouTube)Sean Schafianski on BandcampRhythm Encounter 19 – Schmoozin’ with SchafianskiNieR Music Concert Blu-ray preview "The Sound of the End" (YouTube)Tracklist0:03:53 - Kainé (Salvation) (Keiichi Okabe) - NieR OST0:06:53 - Mourning (Keiichi Okabe) - NieR:Automata OST0:37:07 - Repose (arranged by SEXY-SYNTHESIZER) - NieR Tribute Album -echo-0:43:34 - Ikō (Authority) (Keiichi Okabe) - NieR Re[in]carnation1:09:04 - Vague Hope - Cold Rain (arranged by Sean Schafianski) - CHAMBER WORKS - NieR Automata1:12:31 - Gods Bound by Rules (arranged by Kumi Tanioka) - Piano Collections NieR Gestalt & Replicant1:39:27 - The Sound of the End (MONACA) - NieR Music Concert Blu-ray <<The Memories of Puppets>>1:42:50 - Orchestra: Weight of the World (Keiichi Okabe) - NieR:Automata Orchestral Arrangement Album2:20:25 - Zach's Bonus Track!Album LinksCHAMBER WORKS – NieR AutomataOur ReviewVGMdbBandcampiTunes Store / Apple MusicSpotifyNieR: Automata Orchestral Arrangement AlbumOur ReviewVGMdbCDJapaniTunes Store / Apple MusicNieR: Automata Original SoundtrackOur ReviewVGMdbCDJapaniTunes Store / Apple MusicSpotifyNieR Gestalt & Replicant Original SoundtrackOur ReviewVGMdbiTunes Store / Apple MusicSpotifyNieR Music Concert Blu-ray <<The Memories of Puppets>>Our ReviewVGMdbNieR Re[in]carnation Original SoundtrackVGMdbCDJapaniTunes Store / Apple MusicNieR Tribute Album -echo-Our ReviewVGMdbCDJapanPiano Collections NieR Gestalt & ReplicantOur ReviewVGMdbiTunes Store / Apple MusicGet in Touch:RPGFan.comEmail us: [email protected]: @rpgfancomInstagram: @rpgfancomFacebook: rpgfancomTwitch: rpgfancom
