I am interested in where this poll could be leading =)

But Kyle, how come the rest of the ITG1/ITG2/PRO songlist isn’t on the list of what you can choose? :O

I really enjoy your own music Kyle everything youve done from ITG1 and 2 to all the new tracks from Oscillator X

Summer -Speedy mix- has since 2005 had its place on my mp3 player and then last year the full version finaly came out, I was so thrilled.

I also from time to time look at the recordings I did when you held a concert in Oslo during the EC\WC in 2006 and really love the tribal style remix you did back then

Grettings from Norway

Very interesting to see how my picks compare to others!

doop y doop y doop yeah yeah
doop y doop y dopp yeah yeah!!!!

I absolutely love your style and attention to detail that goes into each song. Your music helps me relax when I’m at the computer working in PhotoShop but also gives me a challenge when at the arcade. Tracks such as Oasis, Dawn, Esperanza, and Tribal Style seem to take me through a fantastic journey of sorts.

I was blown away when I found your material on iTunes, especially some of your newer stuff like London Bridge. When the purse strings aren’t so tight, I hope to purchase all of your tracks and finally listen to the full versions.

I hope this survey leads somewhere game wise. It would be great to see some of the community’s favorite tunes make a much needed return.

Thanks to everyone for the nice comments and participating in the poll. You have all been the driving force that keeps me doing what I enjoy over the years.

Please keep those votes coming and remember to make additional comments about the stepcharts elements if that helped influence your song choices.

THIS IS.

THE BEGINNING.

I will have to say, though, this poll has definitely made me miss the content from your other aliases that aren’t Happy Hardcore

I have comments about everything but you already know that.

My songs were chosen for all different reasons. I also think that a stepchart can make or break a song and whether people will really like it or not. Take mythology, I still think that song would have been a great song if it weren’t for that darn stepchart. on expert But I feel that way about Euphoria but in the opposite way, because the stepcharts on hard and expert were what really got me into that song. Energizer, I feel that the piano slowdown part really gets people going, especially the nerdpies like me that like to play driven a lot. Kagami is an underestimated song in my opinion, and very pretty. Vertex too, the expert stepchart is a freakin blast, actually so is the hard chart. I loooove the part where you step to the drums, and I know many that agree with that. That song is so eerie, love it.

Take me Back.. That is the song I love song wise. I love vocals, and I think you are a more talented vocalist than you even realize sometimes. That will always be my number one song..

Hasse Mich – need more songs like that, super fun and gets my adrenaline going. LOVE THAT!

Move it Groove it, of course, because both Sam I Am and you r0x0r my… th0ngz0rz?

haha! I could go on about this all day but I’m tired, been working in an office all day.. never have time to play.. PPPPPPPPP

where is the weekend?????????

I dont care what people say, Funk Factory on ITG2 was hella fun.

I can’t believe more people aren’t completely infatuated (ha, ha) with Love Eternal. It’s an amazing song with an amazing BGA, and a ridiculous chart, and it doesn’t get nearly enough credit for any of them.

I guess it’s a good thing I purposely chose licenses over KaW material when I can – looks like it’s getting enough votes on its own. Whatever you’re plotting, it had better involve Digital Explosion, Playmaker, or Alphadelta.

Oh god, yes to Playmaker and DE.

Pump Pro Attract/Title needs to be made into a song

So this is probably for the 4 panel game that is hinted at?

Honestly I love just about every 11-block+ song (music-wise) in ITG, minus maybe Tell, Xuxa, and Charlene (all of which I only like ).

Bloodrush, Monolith, Pandemonium, Determinator and ! are probably my favorite songs from the series judging by music. Step-wise, I’m quite fond of !, Monolith, Soapy Bubble, Oasis, Disconnected Mobius, Do U Love Me… actually I could probably go on for a while at this, but those are the ones that came to mind immediately. I realize several of those weren’t even poll options, but whatever

I also like Nightmoves, Hasse Mich, Feels Just Like That Night, VVV and Coming Out from Pro quite a bit– just by the music.

Out of the songs I voted for, despite mixed feelings among players I think more charts should be “Foy” like Euphoria. Those drills are really fun and I wished it had made it over to Pro. VerTex is one of my favorites, gradually getting harder but not awkward like VerTex^2. Hasse Mich is just an amazing song with amazing rhythms, and lends those rhythms to good charts. Funk Factory is incredibly fun. !’s ITG chart is a great throwback to PSM and PSMO, although the Pro charts were more focused on the song rhythms. Also, you should do more songs/charts like Tell. Classical remixes may be overdone by Bemani, but it’s something you’re quite good at too and they are sorely missed.

Good luck with your music and work, hope we see more stuff from you in the near future

Utopia….great song and chart! Definitely my all time favorite song in the ITG series. And I find the PIU Pro crazy chart to hold up pretty damn well to expert on ITG!

Destiny has that awesome stream right from the start that just gets me going and has perfectly placed hands. The stepchart in general is just pretty awesome.

I just love Xuxa. Great all around. ‘Nuff said.

For Feels Just Like That Night, honestly, I like the fanmade ITG3 chart better than the Pro chart, but I still think it’s a really great song.

Dance Vibrations is a REALLY REALLY good song to dance to, but I wish the crazy steps were a tad bit harder, maybe similar to the NX2 steps (idk if those steps carried over to NXA).

And for the menu songs, I absolutely loved the results screen for PIU Pro and the “select” song from ITG2. I’m just so used to that select music getting me ready for a good game of ITG :] The title screen for PIU Pro also was a good tune that found itself getting stuck in my head quite often.

I’m typing this from my phone right now, so maybe I’ll go more in depth when I have my laptop xD

Cheers Kyle!

Thank you everyone! Your feedback will be useful for multiple projects for the next few years. I appreciate everyone who participated by taking the time to supply your opinions.

I’m glad I could partake in this. My all-time favorite songs are Virtual Emotion, Kagami, and Take Me Back. Kagami just seems to remind me of the time when I went to Chicago, then I found out the background on ITG is the Chicago night skyline! I thought it was underrated, though.

The little bit you did for the Pump It Up Pro title screen definitely needs to be made into a full track. As short as that segment is it really turns me on and lifts my spirits, so I would love to see a full track based on it!

As for my favorite full track… I have no idea, I love them all =]

ITG3 would be nice, but that remains but a pipe dream.
Perhaps future installments of Pump it Up?
Or perhaps something completely different? Clap n’ Dance rhythm game? Localized DJ Max Technika? Unison-based step game? Who knows.

There’s plenty of good songs to choose from, so hopefully the poll turns into something excellent.
