masterchirox580 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 So what's your favourite bionicle music? Whether it be the sounds of Cryoshell, the soundtrack of the movies, or even the sound of G2 post them here. Quote It's time to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cwog Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I like Cryoshell's self-titled album. You should check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VampireBohrok Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 and basically any other song from the soundtrack, really. There's so much to it, from deep atmospheric music to intense battle themes, with a bunch of fun and silly songs to top it off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Tie Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 The Bionicle Music from the Power Pack CD and the ending song from MNOG are probably my top songs, followed by Hero by AIK.Then again I haven't really listened to any of the songs post-Move Along...

Cheesy Mac n Cheese Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) The Le-Koro band is pretty catchy (MNOLG). Most MNOLG music was outstanding in its own way. It really fit with the whole "mysterious" theme of 2001. The music from the opening area of Tales of the Tohunga was pretty catchy too. The main theme from the first three movies worked well. I also listened to "Caught in a Dream" a lot back in the day. "Creeping in my Soul" also went pretty well with the theme of 2007 and the video it was used for. "Rahkshi Rocks" was cool in a head-banging way. It'd be funny if someone answers "Piraka Rap." Or "Singing Squid."

2Tie Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 OH I nearly forgot about the Ko-Koro music for Tales of the Tohunga... Fits really well with the mini-game (Huai Snowball Sling) but not so much for the whole Wahi.

Irrie Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 The only MNOG music I was particularly fond of was the background for the Tarakava battle. The raw vocals with the drums was a nice touch, and I wish that track lasted longer. The Pohatu minigame music was also pretty good.But Cryoshell is where it's at for me. Of all the alternate rock that I've heard, nothing can beat Gravity Hurts or Creeping in my Soul. Quote bZpOwEr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nescent Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Piraka Rap, Creeping in My Soul (because of the Creeps From the Deep video), and the MNOG song that VampireBohrok linked. I'll also add Bye Bye Babylon, since it was the soundtrack to 2009, one of my favorite years. Oh and one of the songs from the Mask of Light soundtrack, with the pretty piano.

Lyichir Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I like Cryoshell's self-titled album. You should check it out. This sums up my opinion pretty much perfectly. I've seen a lot of hate for Cryoshell... but when it comes down to it, their music continues to resonate with me much more than the fairly forgettable movie scores. And while I enjoyed the Power Pack, its hyper-aggressive beats tend to agitate me more than anything. Sometimes I just like something relatively melodic that you can sing along to, and Cryoshell provided that better than any other music from the franchise. 1 Quote Formerly Lyichir: Rachira of Influence Aanchir's and Meiko's brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Rahkmaninoff Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Hmm. From the movies, not much stands out. The MoL theme, the piano one, is really nice, as is Lhikan's theme from LoMN, but none of the other stuff is really very memorable. I also like a few of the tracks from Bionicle: The Game, in particular the main theme, Onua Nuva part 3, and Lewa Nuva part 2. But more so, I do really like the music from the MNOG, and the other stuff Templar did. It all just sounds so Bionicle, so rich in the scope and mystery of the early days, from the eery mysterious telescope theme to the triumphant track played at the final talk with Vakama to even the ominous and intense Makuta battle theme. And those constantly recurring chants really impress the mysterious island vibe. Chillingly nostalgic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSkeletonMan939 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Why does Furst always seem to get the shaft? His themes may not have been techno-based like Luchter's themes, but they worked well for the film trilogy. They may have even been the best part of those films. I've listened to a lot of film scores, and his work for the series still stands out to me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinkerTech Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I like the instrumental music from the games more than I like the albums and tracks recorded by cryoshell. They're just more pleasant to listen to. Oh a note about music (hah!) When I downloaded "Hero" from the BIONICLE website when it first came out, I noticed that the lyrics didn't match what was written on the site. "To grow up strong and RE-DO wrong," rather than "To Grow up Strong, and Un-Do wrong." At first I thought it was just some sort of weird error, now I'm wondering if it was weird foreshadowing of some sort. (You know, considering how everything the toa did ended up helping Makuta win in the long run, rather than defeat him.)

The original song had "redo", but they changed it do "undo" because it'd confuse kids. A little like changing "Philosopher's Stone" to "Sorcerer's Stone". You can listen to the original demo here.

Rooster Nui Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Mine's probably Hero by All Insane Kids. The MNOG soundtrack is pretty cool, as well as the Mask of Light soundtrack. The scores for the other three movies I'm not quite interested in, specifically Web of Shadows and The Legend Reborn's. Cryoshell's music is alright. I like the tone of their songs, but not so much the lyrics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa Jaton Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I like Ride of the Valkries,Bye bye Babylon,Pohatu vs Nui Jaga,the theme to Mask of Light,and Time from Legends of Metru Nui. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P~M Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 The MNOG music was good, but my favorite would have to be the music from VNOG--the Voya Nui Online Game. It just really clicked with my tastes, and even now, nine years later, it's still my favorite. Cryoshell is pretty great, too. God, a lot of the music from various Bionicle media is really good.

Toa Smoke Monster Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 'Crashed' by Chris Daughtry was always one of my favorite Bionicle songs, if not my favorite overall.

Makuta Miras Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Anything Cryoshell except for Face Me and Bye Bye Babylon. I'm also a fan of Move Along- it's used to great effect in the Inika commercial- and I regularly listen to Hero as well. Overall, though, Gravity Hurts takes the top spot; it just captures the essence of the years I grew up with so well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Daedalus) Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 The main theme for the Game Boy Advance Bionicle: The Game is pretty good (or maybe that's nostalgia talking), as is Cryoshell's stuff. There's also a track from MNOG that I still remember; I have no idea what it's called (if it even has a name), but I still like it.

doodleloot Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 The MNOG tracks are probably my favourite when it comes to Bionicle related music.
