GR · Posted: Sun Mar 28, 2004 5:44 pm Post subject: Holy.........!!! Cool!

Dude, um, a few things......
Paranoias?
Gamelan de Couple?
I thought you said you were going to embolden the ones that exemplified the genre?
Toytown seems kind of small . . .
Aside from that, this is an amazing accomplishment. Go, you!

doregard: waka laka is happy hardcore.
captain jack and R3 i'm not sure about, i'll have to listen to them again
jungle is kind of a misleading name, because it actually means the urban jungle which i think is some kind of thing in jamaica? anyway, the genre that sounds like it's kind of made in the jungle is called Tribal, as i've said i haven't added all the genres yet.

gr: all the paranoias are d&b. gamelan de couple is really hard to place because it's so traditional asian folk sounding, same with sakura. but i'll find places for them eventually
crap, i forgot to bold them, i'll do that now
toytown doesn't have many entries because there's not that many toytown songs in ddr, but i felt like it needed a category. i could have split pop into europop and jpop too, maybe i'll do that.
thanks for your imput guys

You have 'A' listed under the genre Breakbeats....
You have 'Mobo Moga' listed under Drum n Bass....
You also have 'BreakDown' listed as a Pop song...

....

I'm sure any person who has the slightest understanding of music genres, or even an afficionado of BEMANI music can see where i'm going with this.

A is hard to classify but if you listen to the drums they are what i would call breaks
mobo moga has a d&b drum line, and i know it would fit better in a different genre but i wanted to keep them simple for now
breakdown is poppy. it really is.

how about instead of just telling me i'm wrong, suggesting what genres YOU would put them in, k

...how is it asian? last time i checked gamelan de couple is in SPANISH. How many japs you see with maracas?

A is not breakbeats.. anyone who looks at the bg in the game or has played it on IIDX knows its RENAISSANCE (sp?).

Renaissance is not a genre of electronic or modern music. maybe i should just take A off there and put it in a separate category for songs that suck, because it sucks anyway.
again, i put mobo moga in d&b because i haven't found any other bossa nova songs (except maybe sana morette? i'm not sure) and i didn't want to put it in its own category.
and the gamelan is an indonesian instrument. gamelan de couple is an indonesian syle song. i don't konw why there's cactuses and maracas in the background.

Are you are distinguising BreakDown from other songs in your Rock catergory, such as I'm Gonna Get You, how?

Mobo Moga is Bossa Nova, or maybe you actually ignored all the jazz characteristics of the song for the ending drum section. There is nothing DnB about it at all. For reference, here is a definition of DnB.

I'm pretty sure Broken My Heart is Eurobeat, but then again... you don't have a genre for Eurobeat. However, I doubt that Eurobeat is some form of Happy Hardcore...

Mobo*Moga is French Pop, just like all other Orange Lounge songs. Now, whether you should put it in the Pop section for that, I don't know. It is sensible to put it in Drum 'n' Bass, I guess.

And A rocks. It goes in a category of classical music (which, of course, is awesome).

for the more vague connections i'm classifying these simply on the way the drums sound, not any other criteria. once i find another bossanova song, i'll move mobo moga there with it.

*slaps forehead*
why didn't i think of classical! most of the ones i'm having trouble placing could go in there (kakumei, v, a, end of the century)
