"Track 6" (really, I couldn't find the real name) from the show Hyouka is another pretty background piano piece.
"Galapogos" by Smashing Pumpkins is a sweeping orchestral song where everything, even the guitars, sound truly orchestral.
"Todeswalzer" by Windir is a really fun new wave-y black metal song. That sounds strange, but I mean it.
"Moment of Dream" by Hiroyuki Sawano is a pretty orchestral piece with pretty vocal and electronic accompaniment.
"Kage No Deshouka Daiichibu" from the show From The New World mixes distorted guitar with a children's choir, creating a jarring effect suitable for an epic theme.
"One More Cup of Coffee" by White Stripes is a fairly faithful rock rendition of the original song (by Bob Dylan). There's a cool organ part that starts a while into the song too.

Sigh, I guess I need a name
"1 AM" from Animal Crossing: New Leaf is a very simplistic and calming piece built around a piano.
"Onaji hoshi ni Umarete" from Hoshizora no Memoria sounds like space opera music because it matches classical sounds with electronic sounds. It is graceful yet still upbeat.
"Path to Lucy" by Deaf Center is a serene mix of the orchestral and the ambient, creating a strong sense of atmosphere.
"Rockin the Suburbs" by Ben Folds is basically a fun song about being male, middle class, and white that mocks angry white guy music. Yes, it is power pop.

Being Sidetracked? Why I Never?
"Grail Overfloweth" by Cocteau Twins is an admittedly stern but neat fusion of psychedelic and dark, resulting in a strange atmosphere. Alien is the best way to describe it.
"Le Gardien de Reves" by Amenra, despite the pretty name that roughly translates to The Guardian of Dreams, is a harsh song dominated by wall of sound dynamics, creating a primal sound.
"White Lake" by Deaf Center captures a harmonic yet tense atmosphere with its piano-dominated music; steadily the piece ascends in musical variety, creating a richer texture.
"Adventure" from the puzzle game FEZ is a fun 8-bit piece with an upbeat sound certainly fitting its name; the limited timbre works to its advantage in creating a narrow but cohesive sound.
"Your Ghost Is Not Enough" by Jessica Bailiff mixes vocals with atmospheric rock instrumentation and synthesizer, creating a song not too far from a slowed down western piece. Calm but persistent drum keeps the song going, not letting the atmosphere become too overwhelming.
"Iron Golem" from the game Dark Souls pits the high pitched against brass instruments, create a driving melody. As a whole the piece successfully captures the epic, making it fun to listen to.
"Sync", also from FEZ, has a more orchestral feel with its solid percussion and melodic instruments creating a rhythm from repetition. The rich dynamics make the piece compelling, even to someone wanting a faster tempo.

Musings on Anxiety
Hello everyone,
Today I wanted to share my friend's blog post about anxiety and the way things are going for him (through his eyes). In particular, I felt that I connected personally with many of the points he discusses. So go check out A Sense of Incongruity. (meta post) !

J.A.M.
"Heavy Is As Heavy Does" by Menomena is a surprisingly intimate rock ballad, implying emotions in a direct manner.
"Point #1" by Chevelle carries the angst of the average alternative metal band with sophistication, creating an atmosphere of frustration. The music's intelligent simplicity differentiates this song from the band's peers.
"Descent Into Chaotic Dream" by Evoken moves like an immensely viscous liquid: slowly, yet not runny. Atmospheric touches breathe life into this funeral doom piece where otherwise the music would drag.
"The Pragmatist" by Mares of Thrace is incisive and ferocious, taking angry punk-influenced metal to another level. Not for the light hearted.
"A Snow Light" from Tales of Symphonia is a joyful waltz carried by orchestral instruments.
Much like a dubstep song, "Underground Army" from The Dark Knight Rises is dominant in bass sounds, creating a grim texture. Its unrelenting nature builds up a tension.
"Supa Shoppa" by Blur is a happy ska-esque instrumental rock piece that my friend Justin would probably dance too. The flute's nice as well.
"Adrenaline" from Call of Duty: Black Ops II is an aptly named electronic piece with hints of influence from modern rock and Persian traditional music. Despite minimal dynamics the piece manages to sound fairly epic.
