I was watching volume five of madlax last night. There were alot of strong scenes, and i think part of the reason why it took hold of me so much is the music they play with the scenes. For instance when madlax is shooting people up, theres a sense of sensuality and elegance. I know that Fictionjunction Yuuka did alot of songs for the show and they are amazing. So what song made a certain scene really impact you, and just really made the whole scene that much better?

I have both Madlax OSTs and, even though I haven't watched the series yet (I have it but I have a bit of a viewing backlog right now), I understand how powerful the music can be by itself; I can only imagine how much of an impact it would have when integrated into a scene. I don't have my CD collection in close proximity so I can't offer any specific examples of scenes/songs at the moment but I can toss out a couple of series that I think exemplify the mutual reinforcement of music and motion that you're describing. Haibane Renmei: Think of a soundtrack with a pre-industrial European feel that's low-key enough not to overpower the mood of the anime (which has a very evenly-paced slice-of-life take to storytelling) but not so subtle as to be boring or uninteresting to listen to on its own. Ghost in the Shell: Also a very subtle but richly detailed soundtrack that exudes a nicely dark futuristic Blade Runner-like mood (without sounding anything like the Blade Runner soundtrack); the perfect match for an equally detailed, real and moody view of the future. I hope this fits what you were hunting for. Thanks for the post. I'm now particularly motivated to move Madlax up the viewing list....maybe I'll even break the cellophane tonight!

I think one of the most powerful song + scene combinations comes in episode 12 of Air when the song "Aozora" (Blue Sky) plays, and unfortunately, describing the full impact would require a large black block of spoiler text. Suffice it to say, the lyrics fit the content of the scene, and the timing is just perfect--it starts in with the vocals only, and builds with everything else. As if the scene weren't spoiler[sad enough], "Aozora" just amplifies the emotional impact to a whole new level.

I would have to second Tsunami3k's choice there. Haibane Remei has a wonderful soundtrack and really accentuates the feel of the whole animé in every aspect. Ethereal Remains in particular comes to mind, as in that one moment that the track is played, it lends to the scenes already mystical quality, and it had me hooked on that scene, with all the powerful emotion in it. Another track that also comes to mind is "A Song of Storm and Fire" which is played in Tsubasa Chronicles' first episode. Without it, I highly doubt the scene would have had as much impact as it did. In my humble opinion, I believe "A Song of Storm and Fire" and the Tsubasa OSTs in general are the best of Yuki Kajiura's work. |
