"A Peaceful Town" from Ultima: Exodus on the Nintendo Entertainment System (1987)
Composer: Tsugutoshi Goto
Album: No Official Release
Publisher: FCI/Pony Canyon
Developer: Origin Systems
Taking into account the series of articles we're releasing this week, I specifically wanted to choose a song with a significantly lighter tone, so "A Peaceful Town" from the NES port of Ultima: Exodus felt like the perfect reprieve. I don't have much about this song, other than it's a great village theme, and it's not often that you hear triplets like that in an NES song. I feel like that just classes up the entire song and bugger all to anyone who says that video game music isn't real music because there aren't real musicians playing; I don't know if that's an actual opinion these days, but it was one that I grew up hearing from various corners of life.
The point is, Tsugutoshi Goto wrote a beautiful piece of music for the NES port of Ultima: Exodus which was his first composition for a video game and last composed music for Pro Mahjong Kiwame GB II 25 years ago. And sometimes, we just need a calming 37-year-old song to sit with for a while.
