Music for the Queen of Shadows

If you're thinking of downloading these, but you know me personally, PLEASE ask me for a copy of the soundtrack I've compiled for this campaign; I've got music on the CD that's not listed here, and you can stop using up my pathetic bandwidth allowances besides. ^^;

For those of you who don't know me personally, the ones I linked are the ones I consider somewhat obscure, so I have them available here for download. The others I'm fairly confident you can find on your own (I also have already eaten up most of my 20 mbs with the mp3s already linked), so I'm leaving it up to you. ^_^

I think you'll find that the Noir pieces are all really, really good. I recommend purchasing all three soundtrack releases--you won't be sorry. You'll see that the majority of songs on here are from video game or anime soundtracks...it's amazing how good anime music has gotten lately--happily, they no longer consist of just sugary Jpop tunes. Also, I found a server that streams 'em, so you can it without having to DL anything. *happy!*

Most of the anime ones are by a newer anime music composer named Kajiura Yuki, who did the Noir and .hack//sign soundtracks. Her music's not nearly as varied as Yoko Kanno's, but the mingling of hard techno bass beats with softer, more classical tones is something I like a lot. ^_^

Managed to find room for "Dido." It's a very well done, slow techno-remix of "Dido's Lament," from Purcell's opera "Dido and Aeneas." I suggest buying the "Aria," and "Aria: New Horizons" CDs by Paul Schwartz as well. They're amazing. I've owned both since Thanksgiving, and I still listen to the stuff every day. Amazing.

Elizabeth Catherine Adelaide's theme:
- Kajiura Yuki's "Ode to Power," from the first Noir soundtrack.

The White Queen's theme:
- Chopin's "Finale, Allegretto," from Trio for Piano, Violin, Cello in G Minor.

The Red Queen's theme:
- J.S. Bach's Cello Suite No. 6 in D Major, Prelude

The Black Queen's themes:
- Kajiura Yuki's "Salva Nos II," from the second Noir soundtrack
- e.s. Posthumus' "Elba," from the album "Unearthed."

Snow White's answers:
- "Bloody Tears," from the Castlevania: Symphony of the Night soundtrack.
- "Suspicion," from the .hack//sign Liminality soundtrack. (Click here to listen. Click on "Suspicion," and a new window will open.)

Rose Red's home in the Black Domain:
- "Dwelling of Doom," from the Castlevania: Symphony of the Night soundtrack.
- There's actually a better one on the CD that comes from the creepy, ambient music of HBO's Carnivale for Rose Red's Black Fortress, but I don't know what it's called, so. ^^;

Memories of Rose Red:
- Kajiura Yuki's "Canta Per Me II," from the second Noir soundtrack.
- Paul Schwartz's "Dido," from the Cafe del Mar album "Aria."

The little ghost girl's theme:
- For the girl herself: "Control," from Poe's second album, "Haunted." (lyrics here)

The Ace of Spades' theme:
- "Secret Project," from .hack//sign second soundtrack. (listen to it here.)

Rose Black:
- "Epitaph," from the .hack//sign Liminality Soundtrack. (listen to it here.)

The Grendels' Tree of Life:
- Another CD creepy-creepy from Carnivale. I don't know what this piece is called, either.

The Ace of Clubs:
- Transcending pleasure and pain: "End of the World," from the second .hack//sign Soundtrack. (listen to it here.)

The Black King's Court:
- "Main Theme," from the Jin-Roh Original Soundtrack. (listen to it here.)

Toying with the White Queen:
- "Ai no Fugue," from the Nazca Original Soundtrack. (listen to it here.)

Into the Black Catacombs / Negotiations with the Black Queen:
- "Shadow of Doubt," from the second Escaflowne soundtrack. (listen to it here.)

The Ceremony / A Rebellious Ace / Confrontation with the White Queen:
- "Quixote," from Bond's first album, "Born." Bond is a modern, classical-crossover string quartet that produces cinematic pieces matched with techno backbeats.

Rise of Rose Red / Imminent Black Kingship:
- "Kyrie," from the Witch Hunter Robin Original Soundtrack. (listen to it here.)

Final Farewell:
- e.s. Posthumus' "Estremoz," from the album "Unearthed." (This piece, as with the rest of e.s. Posthumus' works, kicks so much ass all over the place.)

Finale:
- "Cloudy, With Occasional Rain," from the Serial Experiments Lain "Cyberia" OST.
