Nox Arcana & Sparks
This first video is by Nox Arcana, a Dark Classical band that makes ambient, gothic sounds. I find the atmosphere in their work fascinating, as well as soothing. I also like the name of the track, Crystal Forest. Mainly because “crystal” is one of those words that turn a switch on in my brain. I’m pretty sure it’s a side effect from doing item quests in video games for most of my life.
This next video is Jordin Sparks & Chris Brown set to clips from Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2. The second of these is a horror no man should have to witness. And won’t have to, since the only minds that survive the skullfuckery of that game are retarded, prepubescent girls.
Anyway, the song in question is an exception to the rule I have about most R&B music: That it is primarily crap. I actually like this song, as gay as it may sound to all the parties listening. It appeals to a rarer side of me. So, enjoy.
