Yeah, another Daft Punk song off of Interstella 5555... what can I say it's my favorite thing ever at the moment. (and with Valentine's Day happening this week I thought it'd be appropriate.)
If you saw my writeup about 'One More Time' last week, you heard me talk about this epic project between Leiji Matsumoto (of Galaxy Express 999 and Star Blazers fame) who teamed up with the artists of Daft Punk to come up with an 'animated house musical' featuring DP's epic tracks. This is probably my favorite song off of this musical, so hit the jump to find out why!
Today's track is Baba Yetu from Sid Meier's Civilization IV
Please note due to copyright issues I can not make this song available for you to download directly.
I am not really of fan of strategy games, I haven't even played any of the Civilization games either, yet the soundtrack for Civiliztion IV is really damn good and it shows. Winning a Grammy isn't something that anybody can do and Christopher Tin did it. Yes, the song is around 5 years old, and it has also appeared on Video Games LIVE! since they started doing it, it is still a great recognition for such a great track.
I really can't describe what makes Baba Yetu so appealing, it just does. It has a really soothing rhythm, captivating vocals and a really great ambience to it. Not to mention that watching the opening sequence for Civilization IV while this song plays is just astounding.
While this probably won't make the Grammy judges or comitee turn their heads to video game music, this sure is a huge step for it. And who knows, we could probably get a Video Game Soundtrack category in the near future.
