So... what genre of music is the Spyro trilogy again?

I tried looking it up and couldn't find anything, does anyone here know?

Re: So... what genre of music is the Spyro trilogy again?

depends on the level, i'd say. the songs are pretty experimental overall. a lot of the songs from the first 2 seem to be influenced a lot by folk rock, while the third game seems to be more electronic influenced. i don't know much about electronic subgenres though, so i'll just say "electronic".

but i mean like,
the Spyro 2 homeworlds are ambient
Icy Speedway is drum n bass
Gulp's Overlook is filmscore

Re: So... what genre of music is the Spyro trilogy again?

Generally speaking, and from what I can interpret, Spyro 1 mainly goes for a rock idiom with some influence of jazz here and there. Copeland's father was a jazz musician and he had played in several rock groups (i.e. The Police) so he would have been familiar with both these styles and is seemingly influenced by them when composing. I'll leave it at cuz this'll turn into a rant if I delve more into it tongue

Also, as 36 mentions, the sequels move away from this idea and become increasingly more ambient and cinematic.

id say they expanded pretty much to using everything lol most simplest answer you can have, games such as dynasty warriors can be pegged pretty easily, they focus on stuff such as drums/guitar, easy, but ps1 spyro is very hard to nail as just 1 type
