This subsection lists every album I have in my Music folder, with some albums getting the special treatment of getting their own page that gives more thoughts about the album itself and some of it's tracks.

Some Notes

Animal Crossing: New Horizons (Fan-Made by Dezphos)

A fanmade concept album of hourly music for Animal Crossing New Horizons back when it wasn't out at that time. This has a lot more of a calmer, melancholic, echoey, quiter tone to it than the official soundtrack.

Liked Tracks:
  • 12AM (Probably because of the guitar)
  • 2AM (I remember singing this and sending it via a voice message to someone and them responding that they find it calming)
  • 5AM
Celeste: strawberry jams

City Slicker

I discovered this when someone played this with the now unavailable radio item on the Roblox game "Midnight Horrors", around the same time I made this website. Because of this, it has this strangely indescribeable emotion fused into it, created by the unpolished stylesheet and graphics I made for the website.

Also has neat music videos that help to underline the mood the music is going for.

Cosmo Sheldrake Collection

An artist I discovered through a cool Flipnote animation made by someone to "The Moss" from . Im not really a man of interpreting stuff into abstract lyrics, so I just enjoy the melodies and harmonies. This definitely feels like something people would call experimental, and I dont really think about it during normal day to day operation.

Darkwood

I didnt play this (as with any horror game, I usually quit out of fear what might happen before anything even happens), but instead watched Limalicious' playthrough of it on Twitch. While most tracks were just inmemorable ambience (probably, I cant remember), the tracks "End of the Night" and "New Dawn" stuck to me probably just because it played more than once and at a predictable time (at the end of every night).

Disco Elysium

I dont know how I caught wind of this soundtrack, but I never played or really know what the game's about. There are only two tracks I care about:

  • Whirling-In-Rags is mainly associated with my prom, which was quite an emotional time since I liked my class a good lot. The idea of this being the end made me really emotional, and this emotion is captured in this song.
  • Miss Oranje Disco Dancer mainly because of its beginning with it's drums. There's just something about them that make them memorable to me.

Most other tracks seem to be what I would call "depressing, but sometimes slightly hopeful ambient music" and haven't interested me.

Dredge

Most of the game's soundtrack was just ambience I never found memorable as I focused on the game. There are however some tracks that stood out to me.

The tracks I like mostly stem from the first area of the game (The Marrows) as well as the ending (especially that bad ending track before the credits). The tracks I hate are the different themes for the Travelling Merchant, as it just drills into you after visiting her for the 100th time with that loud accordion playing the mostly same melody.

Most of the tracks here are like short pieces that set the tone of an area.

One interesting thing is that this album includes ambience tracks of the various sea environments you travel through in-game. They're quite a neat addition that have made their way into my Ambience Collection!

Liked Tracks:
  • Main Theme
  • The Marrows Moodsetters (The Periphery, The Sunken Memory, The Glass Journey, The Morning's Plans, The Doldrums)
  • Her Theme (Drowned)
  • Her Theme (Lucid)
Fishdom 2

A bit of an odd-ball. Basically a game from my childhood. One of my favourite tracks is Underwater Paradise, which is the BGM for the third aquarium if I recall correctly.

One fun fact about this is that since the game is quite old, most files that were on the disc came unencrypted so I could just simply copy and paste the music files of the game into my music library and have perfectly loopable music. I also made the cover image using the Fishdom 2 title graphic from the game files and a random screenshot I found online.

Liked Tracks:
  • Underwater Paradise
  • Kingdom of Poseidon - Reminds me of an overworld season track from Stardew Valley.
K.K. Slider Collection

A collection of K.K.Slider tracks I like from the animal crossing games. Each track is essentially a small loop that most have a very distinct musical style

Lobotomy Corporation

An interesting soundtrack: There are about 15 original tracks composed for the game, while a lot more tracks were already made by other artists.

Note that the playlist I linked to potentially contains visual spoilers dependant on how sensitive you are to spoilers.

Liked Tracks:
  • Story 1 - Title Screen Music
  • Neutral 1-4 - The latter versions wouldn't kick as hard if the previous wouldn't exist. Especially the added beat in tracks 3 and 4 is always pleasant to hear it kick in.
  • Never Frozen Bottom Flows by Tilardis - Abnormality Selection screen. Really effective at capturing hopelessness.
Madorica Real Estate Collection

The soundtrack for the first two Madorica Real Estate Games. Since the game is really niche, the only really official release of the soundtrack I found are cassettes from the official japanese website, purchaseable in yen.

There isn't anyone who uploaded any track at all, so I just recorded the tracks I liked myself, which mostly are the tracks playing inside the properties.

Remixes & Co.

An album thats essentially the miscellanea section of my music library, housing a collection of random one-off tracks (like remixes, mashups or singles) I found on the internet. Contains too much to reasonably list here (but a dedicated page is in the works).

Rhythm Doctor
Liked Tracks:
  • One Shift More (Piano Ver.) - I've been having an earworm of this for 1.5 days now as of writing this. It's variable and doesn't tire out after repeated listening, and the piano has a calming effect I really like. It seems like great background music to relax to.
Roblox (Community)

A collection of soundtracks that were made for games on Roblox.

Fun Fact: The O in Roblox is apparently tilted by 14.4°.

Contains following game soundtracks:
  • Abyss World
  • DOORS
  • Item Asylum
  • nico's nextbots
Please Don't Touch Anything

Everything feels drenched in slight melancholy, maybe due to it's mostly synthesized(?) soundfont(?). Most tracks are short and play after getting one of the endings, but there are a few longer ones that I return to when I remember them and am in the right mood (melancholic).

Tracks I like:
  • title screen
  • main theme
  • Awaiting input
  • utlraviolet secret
Splatoon 3

The most listened to tracks here st from the Storyw World Overworld - that music is etched into me with the time I first entered university and how foreign, big (the buildings were big and I small) and lone (social constructs were different and I had many troubles adapting) it felt. along with a few temporary obsessions for a few tracks.

Titan Souls

The only song I have from this is Forest Songs.

Wilbur Soot Collection

A collection of songs & covers by Wilbur Soot. Especially the somber covers are really nice to hear when Im somber and lying in my bed in the dark.

Will You Snail

I feel like this soundtrack suffers from overuse of a leitmotif, making it rather repetitive regardless of what track you're listening to. Regardless, I still listen to some tracks from time to time when in the mood for them.

  • Disco of Doom - Second-best track to me.
  • Death by Nanobots - Melancholic, but still pushing forward. Probably the track I listen to the most.
  • Hello AI - I like the melody of the verses and refrain, but find that the refrain play too often and quickly becomes stale that way.
