EVE Music By Fans, For Fans

Alien HandAlienHand, an EVE player, is a composer of music. Inspired by EVE, he has made a post on the EVE forums about his latest efforts, currently two pieces of music inspired by EVE.

Currently he has two pieces of music completed. Liquid Space is an expansive and moody piece befitting of the vastness of EVE. Yellow Substance maintains the very EVE-like feel, but with much different pacing and a very well inspired melody. Personally, both songs are simply amazing, and totally fit in with the EVE music library. It would be utterly cool of CCP to take these two pieces of music and put them in alongside the current crop of fantastic tunes by Jon Hallur.

It’s worth noting that neither of the tunes is along the super epic style that has been seen in the EVE trailers of late. These are more in line with the classic EVE music.

Both compositions are available for download on his site AlienHand.dk free of charge. I for one will be keeping an ear open for more, so lets hope he keeps this up.

Bloggers 2: The Return

So I poked the sleeping beast a little over a week ago, wondering there the heck my fellow EVE bloggers got on to, and two of the ones I normally read have awakened from their slumber. ^_^

One of the best parts about EVE blogging is the fact that you can voice your opinion about the game and its denizens without having to worry much about that whole terms of service business with the EVE site. It’s no secret that the EVE forums have devolved into a total opinionated mess years ago, and a lot of people don’t go there for two big reasons: 1. the other people on the forums can be a bunch of fracking idiots, and 2. the forum rules are supremely restrictive.

Now the latter isn’t much of a surprise, and is by and large a result of the former. So it’s not much of a stretch to see the whole EVE forum community foof off to other places like Scrapheap Challenge, where free opinion can flow.

Kinda like blogs. 😀

Anyway, it’s a good thing to see some of the bloggers are back, because I think the game community needs that separate outlet of opinion and discussion.
