All credit for the music goes to @boenyeah. This puts the two Pale Machine albums back-to-back! There’s more in the Expansion Pack, but I picked these songs specifically to match the best with Pale Machine 2.
PALE MACHINE --
1. Intro - 0:00
Our journey begins with this nice, soft little string motif. It's quite a fun little welcome.
2. Miss You - 0:31
A really cool aspect about this album is how in the lyrics, the whole everything really, it blends Japanese & English together. I mean, this literally extends to the "I Miss You" sample, which is from the JRPG EarthBound. It's cool!
3. Be Okay - 3:58
This is one of those songs which just tickles my brain, if you will. It's a real brain-tickler. The samples are funky, the melodies cool, and listening to this makes me feel like I just traveled several years back in time...
4. Every Day - 7:39
This is one of my favorites. Something's inherently catchy about how it builds and climaxes. Especially at moments like 8:48. I don't know music terms very well... And I MAKE music... I just like things that sound cool.
5. Friend - 10:11
I quite like how the vocals get more "scratchy" the later the song goes on in this one. It makes the progression feel interesting and nice. The instrumental side feels more standard but the progression & vocals compensate.
6. Winter Valentine - 13:03
Perfect winter driving music for sure. I just have an appreciation for how they make the instrumental piece the forefront of this track, while most the others so far have been driven by vocals or samples. Just a really fun listen!
7. Pale Machine - 16:18
This is my favorite. All the strengths of others I've mentioned are present in this - Interesting vocals, unique sounds & blended languages, a pretty awesome progression, and real neat instrumental stuff. Just an absolute banger.
8. My Time - 20:55
Ah.. The classic, and probably a lot of people's favorites, considering its presence in OMORI really opened a lot of people's eyes to this album. It's rad! And I like how the outro brings back the prelude strings.
PALE MACHINE Expansion Pack -
1. Money Won't Pay (with augustus) - 25:53
Why does this make me think of WALL-E? I literally have no clue. But I really like WALL-E, and I really like this track. As such, I have zero complaints.
2. I'll Fall (feat. COR!S) - 29:51
This one is another one with a really fun progression. I can’t tell if I can hear Chrono Trigger marimba & trumpet sounds.. Either way, this track is just pure high quality. The end seems to call back to My Time a little…
PALE MACHINE 2 -
01. Prelude (with Toby Fox) - 33:30
This is a really cool extension of the “Intro” strings into a full track. I can hear the My Time motif in a part.. And Toby Fox’s vibe seems to have meshed well and added to the calming nature vibe.
02. I Still Miss You (with Tomggg) - 37:00
This is a really sweet welcome back. It really feels like a showcase of how far Bo En has come as an artist, it starts out similar but more upbeat before just embracing a new, way faster paced and frantic fun vibe.
03. Be Okay '23 (with Avec Avec) - 40:07
Another funky faster variation, this one embraces the charm of the original while just giving it a really sweet and effective new sort of progression.
04. Every Day I Walk Around Like Crazy! Don't You? (with Plus-Tech Squeeze Box) - 43:38
This one feels like some upbeat jam I’d listen to while I walk around like crazy in the summer. So I suppose the title fits! Overall this one is the most different (so far), but I like it.
05. (We Are) Friends (with Winamp Boys) - 45:54
I didn’t find the original Friends particularly standout, but this honestly might be my favorite from Pale Machine 2. It builds on the funky vocals, while injecting a manic energy into the track that makes me wanna groove. The breaks in the pace feel almost angelic..
06. I Hate Winter (with Cwondo) - 50:28
Me too, Bo En... This flips the original and adds melancholic vibes with far more focus on the vocals and samples. Then midway through with the drum breaks.. Yeah. It’s a real treat.
07. Paler, Still Paler - 53:03
This one strips the false happiness of the original away, just emphasizing that pure melancholia. It makes it a good build from the last track, and a really atmospheric late night listen on its own. I just.. I really appreciate this.
08. Our Time (with PAS TASTA) - 54:51
The new piano melodies and effects really make this feel distinct from the original, with an almost more introspective energy at points. And the buildup now just feels EPIC. An incredible build on the original’s foundation.
09. MWP '03 (with Kane West) - 58:43
It keeps the bopping, fun energy of the original while injecting this synthy groove to it that really feels like an old friend. This feels like nostalgia for something I’ve never met…
10. I'll Fall (Again) (with Bamster & Babymorocco) - 1:02:04
And we end with one last banger. Let’s quiet down, and just enjoy the tune.
Enjoy!
