MIDI Week Singles: "Swan Song 2000" - Rhythm 'n' Face (PSX)

 


"Swan Song 2000" from Rhythm 'n' Face on the PlayStation (2000)
Composer: Omasu Sato
Album: No Official Release
Publisher: Asmik Ace Entertainment
Developer: OutSide Director's Company


I mainly was lukewarm on this song, knowing nothing about what the actual gameplay was when I started listening to the music from the game.  And really, it is the inclusion of Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake" that makes this song 100% more interesting, specifically "Act 2 - No. 10 Scène (Moderato)."  Although, seeing what is happening in the game, still leaves me confused about what is actually going on besides creating a face while following visual prompts from the computer, and how the music relates to the gameplay.  It is likely something that you have to play to understand and appreciate.

So instead, I will simply just enjoy the par-for-the-course menu-esque theme with a disco-EDM arrangement of Swan Lake over the top.  It's fun, which is all I can say, and all it really needs to be.
