Anyone else tired of Yoko Shimomura?

I like it how it is honestly. Yes there are a lot of similarities, but all composers are like that. Listen to every movie Hans Zimmer has composed for; they all have similar structure and chord progressions. Sometimes even the exact same ones. But all of his music has a different flavor to it depending on the movie. Pirates of the Caribbean and Batman both have some very similar themes yet there is still something that makes it stand apart from one movie to the next. It is the same with Shimomura's compositions for KH. Each game may have a lot of similarities but that is expected seeing that they are all part of the same series, the same way Pirates all have the same theme and batman has a very similar theme.

 

Now if I had to pick someone else for the games, it would be Daft Punk. After what they did for TRON Legacy... they should compose more for games and movies. Any techno/electronic group that can compose for a full orchestra and still keep their feel deserves heaps of credit. I think a full Daft Punk soundtrack for a KH game would be one of the greatest things to ever happen. It probably never will, but it would be awesome.

 

I agree, Hans Zimmer is still amazing even if some stuff sounds similar in theme. Its their signature style, like Yoko. Its what makes good musicians recognisable, like how you can listen to something and be like "this is John Williams isnt it?" She is fantastic and I doubt I would ever get tired of listening to her stuff. And Daft Punk would be an awesome addition to any video game/movie! Too bad they couldnt have gotten some original stuff from them for The Grid in DDD.

Exactly! That would have been a great addition to the Grid. But I feel like Shimomura really captured it well without copying it the same way she did for pirates of the caribbean back in KH2

Thanks for the feedback and opinions, i like that we can come and talk about this without arguing. I do like Yoko, but I just want something different, when i heard "Xigbar", its just an old piece sped up to me, i just want something different, I cant tell you how many times ive heard a previous theme in a new piece, not saying Yoko isnt good, she made "Somnus" for Christs sake lol, thats a beautiful piece. I hope she brings a bang for KH3,id stil like to see new composers though.

yeah and I'm not saying other composers aren't welcome either. New stuff is always cool!
