Ogre Level
They're ogres. They're big, strong, stinky, and evil.
And that's exactly the atmosphere this song has (except for the stinky
part). Utilizing more SNES-style synth to create a repeating techno-esque
backdrop, this song is then joined by heavy percussion and an old-school
"chorus". It sounds so deliciously eeeeeevil!! Set to loop twice, then
fade out. One of the first songs I heard that made me realize how good
this game's music was.
Elfenwood
And now for something completely different. This song
is definitely an acquired taste, and isn't especially liked by most of
the people who have heard it... but I love it. Slightly atonal, slightly
chaotic, with instruments that are very obviously old-school synth, but
somehow also very catchy and charming. A fitting theme for a team of elves,
considering that Coloball's elves are all, inexplicably, monkeys. Try it
out for size -- you might like it.
Team Maintenance
The song you'll be hearing most often in Coloball --
and yet, it never gets repetitive. 100% old-school techno fanfare, sounds
like a slightly re-synthed song from the 8-bit era. Fans of old-school
game music are guaranteed to love this one, and anyone who's played the
game will IMMEDIATELY recognize it.
Sample ripped from
ABARENBOU PRINCESS
(2001 RenderWare/Kadokawa Shoten, Japan only, not
present on OST)
"Flapper" (opening theme)
Abarenbou Princess's hard-rock opening theme. Absolutely
friggin' awesome. Head-banging guitar riffs, angry (yet terribly cute)
female vocals, a catchy beat, and just in general a wonderful song all-around.
Too bad it's only 53 seconds long. You'd think there'd be a full-length
version of this song somewhere, but I have yet to find any indication that
such a thing exists. You'd also think that a song of THIS calibre would
show up on one of the game's TWO SOUNDTRACKS, but for some reason, it's
absent from both. Very bizarre.
