Life in Midgar

Chasing windmills in a dark sunrise
Don't forget to bring your pride, you'll need it again 
It's a losing game but looks ok
Well no one remembers, only the windmills may

Fighting a war on a bright Sunday
No you'll never gain know nothing to lose
It's a long unknown, but feels ok…
Yeah no one remembers, only the windmills may 
No one remembers, maybe it's fun this way

Lost in these fields with the clouds in coup
Fight or flight against the wind, beat around them bush
Fly by night is what you see and I'll agree 
Truth be told I'm not that tall to see that last straw, that last straw...
Cos no one remembers, only the windmills may
No one remembers, maybe it's fun this way

Waking up now another dark sunrise
Another day to cry, another day's gone
It's a losing game — but seems ok…
Yeah no one remembers, no one cares, no one remembers
only the windmills may
Yeah no one remembers, no one knows, no one remembers
maybe it's fun this way

Life In Midgar

Mothership Ambience

An Orchestral Medley of the FF7 OST. This is Disc 1... 2, 3, and 4 will come out eventually.

Midgar Medley - Disc 1

These were the stories that he told himself, tall tales from long ago which had got lost in the spaces in between. It had been a while since he’d last let himself think about such history and nostalgia for it was buried deep in the recesses of his mind. His memory palace was a place visited once in a blue moon for the magic which lived behind those thick castle walls was sometimes best to be left alone.

Lying amidst the tall grass he watched as the clouds moved slowly by overhead, he’d allowed himself this one afternoon to daydream upon what might of been in another life. He opened the heavy gates and let his memories of a wilder, better time come rushing in.

He closed his eyes and nodded off…

Priori continues to develop and grow as a producer, moving toward deep, pensive textures and atmospheres on a new EP for Midgar Records. The Pareidolia EP is comprised of four tracks of intelligent Techno which teases and intrigues – this is a record which will sound good on dark nights and in smokey rooms.

Midgar Records, the tastemakers who always keep their finger on the pulse of the future, and Polygonia, the artist crafting music that feels like stepping into tomorrow, have finally collided. The result - the 'Da Nao Tian Gong' EP.

Imagine a childhood Saturday morning cartoon but with its sugary soundtrack remixed by a cyberpunk DJ who stumbled upon ancient Chinese legends. That's the whirlwind you're stepping into with 'Da Nao Tian Gong', Polygonia's latest four-track techno wanderlust.

Lindsey Wang, the mastermind behind the magic, taps into the mythical essence of Sun Wukong, the Monkey King himself. Each track is a sculpture of his legend: 'Jindou Yun' propels you through the sky on his cloud, leaving gravity in the dust. 'Shen Wai Shenfa' casts a spell with tribal rhythms, mimicking his magical hair. 'Ruyi Jingu Bang' resonates with the earth-shaking power of his staff, while our premiere for today 'Disha Shu' bursts into a kaleidoscope of sound, mirroring his 72 transformations.

'Da Nao Tian Gong', is out on January 31

PREMIERE: Polygonia - Disha Shu [Midgar]

I have recently delved back into my ongoing Final Fantasy music project where I have chosen a selection of tunes from the estemmed video game series (From FF5 to FF13) and am creating my own versions of the themes. I have rearranged parts of them and included my own composed elements within them that help bridge  themes together. There will be 113 tunes in total for this project. I ultimately just wanted to have fun with these so please feel free to comment and listen to at your won leisure. Any support, likes and all that would be greatly appreciated. 

As Final Fantasy VII Rebirth has just been released, I am uploading the tunes I have rearranged in an ongoing playlist. I have eight more tracks to do to complete my FF7 part of the project so will add those tracks when I have them completed.
This here is the iconic opening theme followed by the equally iconic Bombing Mission where Avalanche, joined by Cloud Strife, are on a mission to blow up Shinra's Mako Reactor 1. I wanted to capture the sense of a bustling city at night and then the tension felt throughout the mission. I ended up having too much fun and trust me, I wanted to keep going and going but I am very happy with how this has turned out.

So without further ado, enjoy revisiting the world of Final Fantasy VII.

This time, we have the iconic battle theme from FF7, a pumping tune that just oozes style and coolness. I was very heavily-inspired by how ff7Remake's sound was used and to capture that feeling I have incorporated small sound clips of the battle voices from the characters into it. I felt like it enhanced the mood of the tune and more importantly, made the listener feel like they were with the characters. I hope you enjoy it too and without further ado, let the battle's begin! Or rather...to those who fight.

This time, we have the iconic (yes it really is) boss battle theme, Those Who Fight Further or Fight On! I did this tune before I did my own version of Those Who Fight and yet I still wanted to achieve or create a style that was inspired by FF7Remake and I think it stands quite nicely with it. I particularly liked the guitar pumping vamps and the motifs that stimulate a fighting atmosphere yet also a head banging moment, that I still get from the original tune all those years ago. I am happy with how it turned out so without further ado, Fight ON!

My word do I love this part of the game! Where Cloud and the gang have to escape Midgar City being chased by Shinra SOLDIERs and troops on motorbikes speeding down the highway, with Cloud fending them off with the Buster Sword. The premise is crazy and I wanted to capture that craziness in this version. I wanted to keep the listener pumped throughout and to give the sense that you are travelling very fast with the danger all around. Just like with what I did with my version of the battle theme, I have used voice clips from the characters in FF7Remake to help heighten and elevate the overall mood - to make the listener feel with these beloved characters as they escape Midgar. So without further ado, enjoy Crazy Motorcycle HJ Version!

Final Fancy (Train 2 Shinra Instrumental)

We’ve been hounding @anina for a mix for some time, but as always it’s worth waiting for the right moment and her set at Young Echo was the perfect spark. It was immediately apparent there was fresh inspiration guiding the tracks she was reaching for — the sort of mixing you do when a fresh batch of records arrives, or when you finally indulge a fleeting hype. Sometimes these phases open out into a wider steer for your creative practice, other times it’s a passing moment, but the energy is always palpable. Luckily for us, Anina was up for catching the energy around this set and went IN (even getting an extra CD-J to do the job), creating a truly masterful set that weaves through crooked rhythms and heads-down atmospherics somewhere between deep techno, sleek D&B, the Autonomic vibe and a more abstract feeling all of its own.

Hit play up in here, or head to IO for the full post, a Q&A interview and the tracklisting:
