First, make a list of your top-20 artists overall. Then, for each of these artists, add the 8 most similar artists to your list. Delete any duplicates, count up the number of entries on your list and this will give you some idea of how eclectic your listening habits are. A score of 9 represents an extremely unvaried musical taste while a 160 represents an extremely varied one.

1. How did you get into 31? (UVERworld)
D-tecnoLife was the second opening theme to Bleach. I loved the song and sought out more of their music, which at the time was very little (on a major label and thus available, that is). They've kinda disappointed me since but still have lots of great songs, and come up with new great ones every now and then too.

2. What was the first song you ever heard by 22? (Czesław Śpiewa)
That would have been either Ucieczka z Wesołego Miasteczka or Maszynka do świerkania, depending on whether I listened to the lead single before getting the album; I forget. Either one would have been enough to completely win me over, though.

3. What is your favorite lyric by 29? (Red Hot Chili Peppers)
Hah, tough one: no matter what, it'd be off of Stadium Arcadium, though. There's "you're talking like a lady but you're walking like a sauerkraut" from Storm In A Teacup, or "I saw you there so unaware / those hummingbirds all in your hair" or "right on the verge…

Oh man, time sure flies.

At the moment I have 92,200 total plays, only 6700 plays in a year. How come? I think I'm simply listening less music than before. My player isn't playing constantly as it once was, but I prefer to listen only when I want to hear certain music. And some of my listens aren't getting scrobbled, but they aren't all that many.

Well, anyway. My top 30 artists are as follows:

01. (-) 浜崎あゆみ 1,225
02. (-) The Faint 1,155
03. (+1) Tuvalu 919
04. (+1) The Knife 898
05. (-2) Björk 881
06. (-) Faithless 814
07. (+3) Husky Rescue 776
08. (-1) 坂本真綾 756
09. (-1) DIR EN GREY 709
10. (-1) PMMP 687
11. (+2) Ulver 676
12. (+2) HORSE The Band 654

Hello! I'd like to share with you my portfolio of work called Sounds for Video Games.

http://www.last.fm/music/Adzin/Sounds+for+Video+Games

This is a small collection of my own compositions, written to be suited to various types of video games. I have tailored each track to suit different settings or scenes in a game, so that the player feels fully immersed.

I have uploaded Full-length tracks to Last.fm for everyone to listen to:

Opening Title

Brave Battle

Dire Desert

Ghastly Graveyard

Rascal Race

Untold Undersea

Pesky Pirates

Mild Mountain

Friendly Farm

Creative Construction

If you decide to give these tracks a listen, I'd be very grateful if you could tag them with 'video game music' and 'soundtrack'. Thanks!

Here's a quick sample for you:

Currently listening to 菅野よう子's soundtrack to Wolf's Rain. I've heard her stuff for Cowboy Bebop, a bit - and knew I liked it because of Tank! I knew she combined lots of different styles for her soundtracking: when I heard the Bebop soundtrack I remember thinking it a bit of a mess, style-wise - even though I admired what she was trying to do. After all, I'm a polystylist myself. "Polystylist"? also a music snob possibly.

But she is seriously amazing. Her music is not diverse for the sake of being diverse. It is top quality music. There are moments of true excellence on this album. Of course the whole album is not brilliant from start to finish. The way I see soundtracks, they are meant to accompany images, and that is the reason they are composed. If the music doesn't work on its own, you can't condemn it as bad music UNTIL you have considered whether it fits its original purpose. Of course, it's possible that some of it IS 'bad music'. I haven't seen the anime 'Wolf's Rain' yet, so I can't comment.
