Favourite BGM: Pirates of Caribbean rip-off theme

Wait, anyone like the Zentran enka song?

which part is the pirates rip-off? sorry didn't really notice. is it the one at the start of each episode?

[MisaForever]

There's just a theme that plays that sounds very similar to PotC music.

[Vinnie]

It was first played in episode 6 when the Recon VF-171s launched and episode 8 when Alto swoops down from the mainsail, I mean rooftop, in his Ex-Gear and sweeps Sheryl away.

Favourite BGM: Pirates of Caribbean rip-off theme

it is like the Starship Troopers BGM in Macross Zero.

[Gubaba]

it is like the Starship Troopers BGM in Macross Zero.

Or the Imperial March in Gundam F91...

[stray]

I don't know if it's the 80's Casio keyboard sound, or the carrots, but i can't get the 'ninjin, loves you ya!' song out of my head so I'm voting it my favorite.

[darkrealmbahamut]

Infinity

Aimo

Triangle

I think Infinity got me because it became attached to intense battle at the end of ep 7.

[dreamweaver13]

haha. ok just finished watching ep 8 and i heard it. does sound a bit like it.

[mike_s_6]

I was wondering which one of the Pirates OST bgm sounds most like the Macross F bgm piece? I was sure reminded of the Pirates OST when I heard the piece, but now, since I don't have the Pirates OST, I can't find out which one is the most similar. "He's a Pirate" is not the closest, is it?

[lord_breetai]

Ninji-n Loves You Yeah!

BEST SONG EVER.

okay I am officially sleep deprived now; don't believe a word I say.

[ShizumaRobo]

You know what? I can't choose just one. The entire soundtrack is brilliant.

Yoko Kanno is indeed the greatest composer ever.

But if I had to choose some favorites, I love the instrumental piece from the beginning of Episode 2 when Alto is escaping from the Vajra with Ranka "SDFM-style." It was a really strong action-piece that seemed to combine all of the themes used on Episode 1. It almost felt like a reward for waiting for this show to premiere. But I really hope it appears on the OST. I also really like the instrumental that played at the beginning of a few of the Episodes. (It appears at the end of Episode 6 right before Diamond Crevasse.)

"Diamond Crevasse" is also a really beautiful song, and the way they integrated it with the events of Episode 6 and the End credits was absolutely brilliant. Also, I think the song has kinda of a "Cowboy Bebop" feel to it. Only a bit more elegant.

I know people don't think much of Sheryl's version of "What Bout' My Star." But I like it. Mostly because it gives me some serious "Macross Plus" flashbacks. I can literally see Sharon Apple performing it.

In fact, I love how well they integrate the music into the story. The editing and direction is just superb.

Also the way they edit "Infinity" into Episode 7 was just awesome. It made the whole thing feel so epic and heroic.

[Vinnie]

I was writing off Infinity as just another Sheryl pop song until I heard the "leaked Sample" on the Gabriel Robin Fansite - MacrossF Music Leaked

That low-tempo point it starts at has, sultry, jazz feel to it. It moves into an orchestral accompaniment to give it a real epic tone as it picks up the pace, and then breaks into the upbeat pop tune we're familiar with. I think when I hear the OST in a month, the complexity of the piece will make it a winner for me.

It's no longer a month...it's now about a week and a half! WOO-HOO!

ditto, yoko is a goddess!.

I not really a fan of j-pop. but I am a fan of miss kanno!

erm "don't be late" gets my vote.

I also don't have the Pirates OST but to me it seems to be the main theme of the show, it was the track that gets played when we first see Jack arriving at the dock in his sinking boat.

Yeah that's why I like that version as well, so Sharon Apple esque.

[mike_s_6]

Don't worry guys, it'll be back by the start of next month, that's about 7 days (which I suppose, by that time, the OST 1 has already leaked, haha). I am NEVER going to host any music sample in the site again, it's all going to be outsourced from now on.

Anyway, if anyone still wants to listen to the samples, I still have them in my imeem account. PM me if you want to listen to them

I like the BGM during the Miss Macross Contest, kind of technonish and game show sounding at the same time. Has it been named?

No one knows the name of bgms until they osts are released, we only know the name of inserts because it's in the ED credits.

I definitely like that one as well. They use it in episode 8

as Sheryl is tearing through the school in Ex-Gear

I'm pretty sure the Pirates of the Carribean track we're all thinking of is called "He's a Pirate." DJ Tiesto does a great dance remix.

@mike_s_6

Thanks for doing that website! It's been an awesome source of music info for this series. Your links on the side to CDJapan got me to buy the 3 singles and the OST, including First Press of Ranka's Single. Hopefully you get some advertising credit for it.

I just downloaded that and that's the one, Kanno's isn't a copy (like Wolf's Rain Cloud 9 :\) but it's clearly influenced.

*goes to listen to He's a Pirate for 1 hour straight*

I love the music after Alto saves Ranka and they land and meet. He then goes into the city and views the destruction then sickens up. 9 minutes in

It has an irish or celtic feel to it...but with japanese flats and overtones...beautiful

I loved the Pirates movie and the music to that. I was a bit surprised that "He's a Pirate" doesn't sound exactly like the Macross bgm, but it was the first thing I thought of when I heard the music. Perhaps the main "essence" is there, without really copying it.

[Morpheus]

Ninjin loves you yeah.......

Darn this song is very addictive, I wonder what causing it.

What the hell is Sheryl doing on Ranka's Formo version of her song?

[Gubaba]

What the hell is Sheryl doing on Ranka's Formo version of her song?

And what the hell is Ranka NOT doing on "Infinity"?

So...it looks like the only songs we have yet to hear are the Fan Club song and the Bird Man version of Aimo...

[Westlo]

It's the non stage performance of Infinity so of course there's no ranka since it's Sheryl's song. But Sheryl being on Ranka's version of What bout my star @ folmo makes no sense... since she was just in the crowd watching with Alto.

Good point.

[mike_s_6]

What the hell is Sheryl doing on Ranka's Formo version of her song?

Good question. It was odd to hear both voices in the leak. Perhaps Sheryl started to sing in the background where no one can hear, and it magically became recorded.
