Miracle of Sound: DNA (Prometheus)

[sean360h]

Is this going to be on level 2 because this song is awesome. Was defiantly supriesd to see a song about a movie you should try to do one more often to add something new to the setup like a movie song once a month

 

[ImSkeletor]

Great movie but im not the biggest fan of this style of song.

 

[AbstractStream]

Okay, I didn't think I could have another favorite, but this one proved me wrong. Damn, I loved it! Well done, Gav.

 

[Chairman Miaow]

Lyrically it was very well crafted, and I especially liked the slow build up, and had the song been about 5 minutes long it would have been great. As it stands it covers more than a third, maybe even half of the songs runtime and so it feels like it stops as soon as it gets started.

Is there a reason the main part of the song is so short? I think even if it had just repeated a little bit more it would have felt more satisfying to me, as I feel like I don't have enough time to enjoy it.

Edit: Also, more layered vocals please.

 

[trollnystan]

I loved it! If this is reminiscent of NiN, as people are saying, then I should definitely look up some of their songs. A new favourite for sure!

 

[Darth_Payn]

Yeah we got a nice bit of Trent Reznor/Nine Inch Nails influence there I think! Was not expecting a song about Prometheus, are we going to be expecting film based songs now or is this a one off?

Love it.

So THAT'S why I thought it sounded familiar! Yeah, more movie songs please, but don't give up on the games.

Well I think I can safely say that nobody saw this coming.
And I think you're at your best when you make sci-fi related songs, since my favorite's are The New Black and Gold and Crucible.

You said it. Gavin's best work is based around sci-fi, when it's not a joke song like "Shooter Guy". Keep 'em coming, man!

The movie starts up slow, and then rolls downhill like a raging mountain river in the last hour to get everything out of the way. I feel like a song should reflect this.

Fine if you don't like it, but I would just like to point out, this is exactly what the song does. the first 1:55 of the song is a slow intro, and then it's much more up-tempo and layered.

 

[shiajun]

Well...that was different. I'm sure if it's good or bad, mainly tainted by my profound disatisfaction with the movie itself. On the musical merits alone I love this NIN sound. I'd love to hear more songs in this vein, it's a realm worth exploring.

True, but I was aiming for something even faster. Sorry, I should have made that more obvious in my initial post.

DNA (Prometheus)

There are some places, we should not go.

Watch Video

Well... I didn't see this coming at all. Uh Gav, maybe you're been working a little too hard lately, you know this was a movie right, not a game?

Alright, all jokes aside I rather liked this with only one or two compliants about it. To me it just felt like the build up was a bit too long and that this was waaay too short.

Still, another favorite and looks like I'll buy this when Level 2 comes out to itunes and to me this was the best part of that whole crappy movie.

 

[Owlslayer]

Didn`t expect this, but sounded quite nice nonetheless.
Haven`t watched the movie, so can`t really comment on stuff regards to that.

 

[Jynthor]

Gav since you're into movies now. You should totally make a song about Drive. You'd become my hero. Well, not really but you'd still be pretty high on the awesome chart.

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

Well that was all kinds of awesome, and thankfully you didn't have kids saying the beginning and ending parts, that would've been creepy as fuck.

Very Girl With The Dragon Tattoo-esque, and I really like it.

I now have a new favorite!

 

[ThePS1Fan]

So, when does this become an official trailer for the movie?

 

[ritchards]

Wow, that game looks so photo-realistic, but what's the game play like? Tell me we can romance Charlize Theron's character [Which would make an actual tie in game more interesting that the inevitable shooter we would get.]

 

[JesterRaiin]

For a moment i thought "Ascendancy". Then NIN "Fragile". Alice in Chains ? Nope. Just Gavin doing his magic.
Thanks. :]

 

[RTR]

I like how it starts soft with a little bit of Blue Danube (maybe I was just remembering 2001), then a soft interlude only to go into full on industiral. It's a bit of a musical roller coaster.
Always great to see you try new things, Gav.

 

[Sir Thomas Sean Connery]

Superb movie and perfect music to go along with it.

Just like the movie, it was mostly haunting with a flashes of thriller.

Well done sir!

 

[Coreless]

Great job with this song definitely feeling some early NIN industrial vibes with this one, awesome stuff.
