Lately i have been dusting off my old collection of evangelion ost’s. Truth be told, i’m not exactly a classical or an instrumental music expert. But till now i remember the first time i watch an advertisement for evangelion while i was in Australia. The ad showed the battle scene while the background music that being played was the cresendo of symphony no 9. I was feeling…awestruck i guess when i watch the ad for the first time. Maybe is that tingling feeling, that resonance you feel when you watch a masterpiece. After that ive manage to get my grubby hand on the 1st and 2nd ost through a combination of purchasing , grovelling and,erm, outright pirating of the osts.
For me, of all the instrumental song in the cd, i still like symphony no 9, especially the part where the song hit the cresendo part. For me, that song always give me the tingling feeling when i heard it. I cant explain it, its just that everytime i hear that part, i feel like i can take on the world. I mean, its the kind of music that i would play in my head if i ever manage to get myself in a ‘charge of the light brigade’ or ‘last stand in thermopylae’ kind of messed up situation.
Apart from symphony no 9, there are other musical piece that i dig as well in the osts. i like to listen Partita III fur Violino solo E-dur to chill out. It got that soothing violin music that great when you want to just chill out. And who can forget the emotional impact when you listen to Kanon D-dur in the ending of death-Rebirth. All in all, there is tons of good music in the Evangelion osts .
Since i’ve converted some of the file to mp3, i decided to put the song i’ve mention in this rant in an embedded flash mp3 player on my friendster page. Yeah, im sorry that i couldn’t put it here, but since this is a free blog, well….
