Final Fantasy X-2 Vocal Collections Bonus DVD Material
As a parting gift for the next few weeks to tide you over, I have uploaded the full content of all three Final Fantasy X-2 Vocal Collection Bonus DVD’s. Yuna, Rikku and Paine all have their songs, interviews and special preview videos to accompany their singles. Remember these were available way before the game got to Europe (and was probably out before the Japanese game release) so all this footage would have been lapped up:
View the VGM Bonus Features PlayList from my HigherPLainGames YouTube Channel for details.
Rikku’s song Barefoot Miracle is currently uploading and will be available shortly.
Video Vault – Megumi Toyoguchi
This weeks music video comes from the Final Fantasy X-2 Vocal Collection bonus disc of Paine. Her vocal theme “Dormant Memories” is performed by Megumi Toyoguchi. The video shows lots of in game footage with a wandering Megumi. Enjoy
Video Vault – Natalie Imbruglia (New Song)
Her new album “Come to Life” is to be released on the 4th of October with the first single “Want” coming a week beforehand but Natalie has uploaded a video of another song from the album “Wild About It” onto her website. The song is the final track on the album apparently and is happy go lucky party karaoke fun. Watch it here.
Video Vault – Imogen Heap – “Canvas” Music Video
Well we all loved First Train Home but Canvas is something else. Watch the gorgeous music video and the stunning ambient piece here. Then go and pre-order this masterpiece – no – go – NOW! Currently looking like HPM’s favourite release of 2009 and that’s a seal of approval!
Video Vault – Rhett Brewer
Rhett Brewer is an unusual ethereal singer/songwriter who reminds me of Sigur Ros and Lisa Gerrard rolled into an electrical synth machine at 80 bpm. This the video to “Millenia” from the album Hotel de Ville.
Video Vault – Chitose Hajime
Having just watched the live DVD from her fourth album, I thought I’d treat everyone to some Chitose Hajime. This is the video for Wadatsumi no Ki and is a beautiful song. Enjoy!
Video Vault – Huski
Only recently was I made aware that Maple Bee had been off doing more musical things! As one half of duo Huski, she has crafted an excellent album of strange electronica music and this is the lead single’s video “Undertow”. Expect a review in the near future…
Video Vault – Patrick Wolf
Patrick Wolf is returning with his fourth album “The Bachelor (Battle One)” and this is the video to the first single Vulture. I see bum, I see leather, I see lots of skin. Fans will be pleased! The song’s pretty damn good too. The Bachelor is due out June 1st.
Video Vault – Tori Amos
Leading single from the upcoming 10th studio album “Abnormally Addicted to Sin”, “Welcome to England” now has its full music video up for everyone to enjoy. You can watch it and hear the single here. Sounds like a mixture of all kinds of styles – SW/TBK era with a new synth edge.
Video Vault – Bat For Lashes
Bat for Lashes’ second album “Two Suns” is coming out next monday and we are excited for one. Here is the promo video for the lead single “Daniel” which marks a new retro electronic sound for the songstress. You can view the video here.
Pj Harvey & John Parish – Video Vault
PJ Harvey & John Parish’s much awaited follow up to 95’s Dance Hall At Louse Point, “A Man A Woman Walked by” is coming out next Monday. To celebrate, here’s the official music video to the single “Black Hearted Love“. Bounce it a little higher PJ!
Alanis Morissette – Video Vault
This weeks video vault is simple video from Alanis Morissette for “Not As We”. While the video is beautifully done and the beach is lovely, I’d not heard the single mix of the song which has a lot more instruments in it. Take a peek here.
Video Vault – B*Witched
I’ve been currently going back on a nostalgia trip and I remember these Irish girls giving us some of the most despairingly catchy pop songs of my teen years. They were at one point bigger than the Spice Girls. Sadly after their second album didn’t do nearly as well as the first they were dropped and that was that. Here’s the video to “Blame It On The Weatherman” which is my favourite song from their début and was their last #1.
Emiliana Torrini – Video Vault
This weeks video vault is Emiliana Torrini’s latest MV to single Big Jumps. A good video on what must be a tight budget – showing that just making things different is a good way to make a nice video.
Video Vault – Imogen Heap
While we all wait for her follow up to Speak For Yourself, take a trip back to a little known music video for Imogen Heap & GMT’s “Meantime” which is a fantastic song that was done during the iMegaphone days.
Video Vault – Iona
This week’s video vault comes from Celtic/Christian group Iona, fronted by Xenogears/saga vocalist Joanne Hogg. The video isn’t anything particularly special but its quite rare to find on the internet, so here’s the music video to Treasure.
I enjoy the music even if I’m not Christian myself and you can always change the words to singing about a loved one instead.
Video Vault – Bjork
I don’t think there’s a Bjork music video that isn’t instantly watchable but we can only pick one a week so this time we’ve plumbed for “Declare Independance“. String alongs!
Video Vault – Sarah Slean
This weeks video vault comes from Sarah Slean and the song Day One which I didn’t even know there was a video for until about 5 minutes ago! It’s done in the same style as the artwork and the Mary video but its colourful and fun to watch. Have a peek here.
Lisa Miskovsky – Still Alive Music Video (Mirrors Edge Theme)
One of the first things I noticed about Mirrors Edge and the trailers of it was that the theme song was mind blowing! Its hook caught me and hung me out to dry every time. Now we have the full song called “Still Alive” and its performed by Sweed Lisa Miskovsky. You can hear the whole song and watch the whole video here.
We’ll be looking into this lady more in depth in the near future… and the petition for a Mirror’s Edge OST begins now!
