OCTOBER 1994 TROCADERO SCHEDULE

[major-comet]

UPDATE 9/22: CHECK NEW POST FOR UPDATES Link to New Post

Moving the drive link up here, and hiding the rest of the post behind a read more

@beanshery has gracefully shared a google drive link with all of the soundtracks in it! https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1bjuwnq3O2S2d94eOcREQh9LRa27n2vP7?usp=drive_link

the death of rt claims more victims 😭

the jeff williams rvb and rwby tracks also appear to be down (edit: at least in the USA). the only trocadero stuff still up is you were there (which is a compilation album), flying by wire, and ghosts that linger, plus a few singles.

you can still find roses are red on bandcamp, though

UPDATE july 6th 4:30 est: When We’re Together should be back up sometime over the next few days. This is a good sign for the rest of it. No news about the Jeff Williams tracks so far, and David Levy has got the Gen:lock soundtrack back up if that’s something you’re interested in.

UGH fuck roosterteeth so hard because imagine how hard a reprise of “(When) Your Middle Name is Danger” (the evil meta music) would have cooked if Trocadero and the full music gang had been invited back for the final season‼️‼️

Nobody understands the anti war/military themes of RvB quite like Trocadero

I really do wanna stress the Trocadero thing is fucked, like.

The various intro pieces across the series (Intro, Big Prize, the opening to Contact, Relay, ect.) are iconic. The Meta would not be scary without 'When Your Middle Name is Danger'. The way 'First Wave' greatly boosts the impact of the Director's final letter. And this might just be me, but 'Fifty' still fucks me up this day.

Or how some songs are just synonymous with a character. 'A Girl named Tex,' 'Another One Down' for Tucker, 'Good Fight (Instrumental)' for Wash, 'Half Life' for Kimball, 'Loom' for Locus.

Blood Gultch Blues. Contact.

And that's just Trocadero. Doesn't even touch the work of Jeff and Casey Williams, Sandy Lee Casey, Lamar Hall, David Levy, or Meredith Hagan.

The music of a show is so important to setting the tone of the work, and it greatly helps those emotional moments to hit, especially in a series where the characters physical acting is so limited. I sincerely believe that Trocadero and collaberators' work contributed massively to rvb's longrunning success, especially as the series became more dramatic in tone.

But rather than respect these contributions Trocadero has made to the series for the last 20 years, RT would prefer to hire newcomers or use stock music bc it's cheaper.

RT doesn't value it's artists' labor. When Restoration comes out y'all better be pirating that shit.

UPDATE ON THE MISSING TROCADERO ALBUMS!

update! all missing albums are up, with a bonus album on the way at some point in the future: https://www.tumblr.com/major-comet/762317690567278592/update-on-the-missing-red-vs-blue-music-i-think

EDIT: Roses are Red, Violets are Blue: 20th Anniversary IS UP ON APPLE MUSIC/SPOTIFY/YOUTUBE

I should have checked before I hit post on the first version, lol. Deleted and re-posted to try and keep the new version going around. This is the original album + 11 Instrumental Tracks! thank you @joltning for mentioning the auto-generated youtube videos in your tags, which prompted me to look.

The songs with Instrumental versions are

Blood Gulch Blues

Steady Ride (Gunmetal Green)

Spiritual

No One - previously on the s14 soundtrack

A Girl Named Tex - previously on the s14 soundtrack

Space Invader

(617)

Superhero

Vale Deah

Half Life - previously on a chorus soundtrack, I think

Anyways, the rest of the uploads are being worked on, and this will include bonus material as well!

This is coming in the form of three albums;

Recovery: Volume 1, which will be seasons 12-13

Recovery: Volume 2, which will be seasons 14-17

and Recovery: Volume 3 which will be "unreleased orphans & rejects, cues from the show that didn't fit anywhere else."

so look forward to that! still no word on the jeff williams tracks as far as I'm aware, but this is fantastic news.

I think there's secret emotions that can only be accessed by listening to Trocadero
