can any of you think of an avantgarde vidya OST?

I can think of an avantgarde film soundtrack (two that come to mind are 2001ASO with the Ligeti, and There Will Be Blood with Jonny Greenwood's score)

but I can't think of anything avantgarde for vidya aside from maybe Evergrace

>>385866425
You must not like music at all.

>>385865056
Automata comes close.

I love the first Nier's soundtrack to death, but I might nitpick at how many times they recycle the same songs for dramatic moments.

>>385867027
my favorite albums are

>philip glass - einstein on the beach
>steve reich - drumming
>stephen jay (recorder) - African Drum, Chant & Instrumental music
>Robert Ashley - Automatic Writing
etc.

>>385867014
Drakengard 1 has a very unique OST consisting of unsettling, chaotic use of orchestra samples.

really good though, should I play Drakengard?

It really didn't. Automata's ost was good background music at best.

With OG Nier I can enjoy listening to the whole soundtrack on it's.

I think Nier 1 had stronger stand-alone tracks. Grandma, Emil Sacrifice, and Song of the Ancients, are all fantastic.

But I think Automata did a better job in overall sound design, making the most of putting the music where it fits and changing it up with what's going on.

the game tries to put you in the mindset of its psychopathic protagonist, so it involves long stretches of mindlessly cutting through enemy soldiers with no real variety

>if it was $5 I'd just buy it but I remember a physical copy being $40

Automata surpassed original Nier's OST. Better track variety and way more consistent quality, extremely powerful new tracks that rival the tops of Nier's OST (Vague Hope, Bipolar Nightmare, Copied City, City Ruins Shade, Beautiful Song, Weight of the World), way better OST usage inside the game with transitions from instrumental to vocal versions depending on your position inside the location, and it's simply way more thematic, for example it's crazy that War & War uses the same leitmotif as City Ruins despite those two sounding absolutely different.

It also has majestic arranges/callbacks to the themes from the first game that sound absolutely different and arguably better in some cases (Wretched Weaponry, Grandma Destruction).

Both osts are great but you really need to be a mindless hipster sheep to deny that Okabe peaked at Automata despite the fact he considers it his best work.

>>385867736
kind of? it's really fucking weird. it plays like a poorly designed ps2 game, but the atmosphere is really interesting. I'd suggest playing it for a bit and you can find it for cheap as well.

Nice counter arguments you have there, sheep. Not like i expect anything else from contrarians.

Automata is the better soundtrack by a mile. I get you're a contrarian but there are limits.

>>385870468
It's repetitive as fuck, but with actual "experimentality", especially from FromSoft guys who milked the fuck out of KFs and also made Shadow Tower

Yeah I know, it's a very original and creative soundtrack. It's way better than generic fucking orchestral/choral/bleep.

>>385870614
Evergrace had a lot of crummy songs but also a lot of god tier ones, the main theme and the final boss theme come to mind

>>385870514
>>385870524
You're the contrarian.

Most people who played both games prefer the first Nier's OST.

Automata might have more fans overall, but that's because of all the hype surrounding 2B's ass

>>385870807
Liquid diarrhoea stemming from your mouth gives fans of original Nier an enormous disservice, trash.

>>385870996
Who is most people? You're on an anonymous image board. Automata has a better soundtrack and makes better usr of it in scenes.

Too much Eastern focus ITT, how about some West?

>>385870996
Even creator himself considers Automata's OST his best work. It's adorable that you avoid any actual counter arguments because you will flat out lose. Automata has a more high-quality OST that is way better used in actual game.
