Songs heard on various games that you can't find..

[88survivor]

Indigo Prophecy had two...

 

Society's Bag- Let It Crawl

Ben E. King- Street Tough

and one typical 40s tune

 

Vice City had two rarities as well

 

Aneka- Japanese Boy

Oliver Cheatham- Get Down(It's Saturday Night)

 

 

What are yours that you discovered so far that are rare to find on CD?

[Grandthefter]

the song that took me ages to find was the one in dead rising that the people in the car in the courtyard played, finally found it as :

Soulseeker - Gone Guru

 

Love it

[Mark]

Took me about a month to track down Hollywood Swingin' by Kool and the Gang in SA. Love that tune. Ain't heard in a while mind.

[88survivor]

Can't track down Ben E. King's Street Tough...which is an awesome song itself. Where do they get the money and how do they find songs such as these?

[Venom]

Aneka- Japanese Boy

One Hit Wonder, my dear boy.

[88survivor]

Actually, she's a Scottish singer.

[Andyzoot]

And can anyone name any other song by her? Hmm?

[88survivor]

Actually, she did have another song from 1983, but wasn't a hit. Right now, she is doing Scottish folk music. So she is still making music, just not typical pop.

The song from ICO.

 

Castle in the Mist.

So therefore she is a one hit wonder

 

And as for songs I liked from games that I couldn't find elsewhere, there is that Andy Hunter song on Enter the Matrix which I really liked and I couldn't find it on any of The Matrix soundtrack CDs and all I knew about the song was that there was someone who kept repeating "Go Go Go Go" and many days later I found out the name of the song...."Go."

She was on 'Bring Back The One Hit Wonders' with Justin Lee Colins... so... Yeah.

Same with David Sylvian of Japan. He did had a couple of hit songs such as Gentleman, Take Your Paloroids, Tin Drum, The Quiet Life, etc. Japan could have been the original Duran Duran, but they decided they didn't want the pop fame at all. So the throne did go to DD. Right now, David is living in the highlands of Scotland and growing a beard. Last I heard, he is also doing traditional folk Scottish music as well. These 80s two or one hit wonders don't die out. They still make music, just not the type of music they use to make and produce for the general public.
