Glass type combinations

Examples of type combination songs with glass as their primary type


Glass fire


This combination must be quite rare. The only example I have at the moment is from someone who was, as they describe, "wanted to see what they could churn out."

Ceres (Supralightning).

Glass dark

This combination seems to have been explored more than I would expect. There are some solid examples here.

Depak Ine (John Talabot).

It's Always Too Late to Start Over (Chris Zabriskie).

Glass fighting

Homo Sapiens Deletantis (Windpearl).

Radio 2 (Frank Klepacki).


Glass earth

This has one example I know of.

In Society (Man Made Man).


Glass electric

There are quite a few good examples of this.

Electroads (Galaxians).

Running (Chase and Status).

Radio (1) (Frank Klepacki).

Silicon Funk (Johnathan Peros).
Link not available.


Glass ceramic

I have found quite a good example of this combination to set the standard here.

Gassenhauer (Carl Orff).


Glass oil

I would have thought this would be quite rare but it seems there are some out there that were easy to find.

The Air I Breathe (Badmarsh and Shri).

Meaning (Quantic).


Glass bug

This combination would probably be like the examples here.

Mutants (Frank Klepacki).

Arazoid (Frank Klepacki).


Glass grass

This is not something I expected would exist because the grass quality usually makes it less clear while the glass quality is all about being clear. However, there is an extremely good example in existence:-

1-800-Podbear (Poddington Bear).

Glass poly

A combination which is extra clear but has variations. This would be very good for testing speakers and headphones.

Voice Rhythm 2 (Frank Klepacki).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKnhv6c00pM


Glass rock

A strange combination which is surprisingly difficult to create, so again I just have one example.

She Blinded Me With Science (Thomas Dolby).

Glass (pure)

This was already described in the intro.

On Parade (from 'Ristar').

Moonlight Madness (Bubble Bus Software).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z45LYLryfj0



Glass ice

This is often somewhat ambient but so much that the songs end up in 'poly ice' instead because they insert a radically different part into it to spice it up. There is one cover song, below, which I have as an example of what happens when it's already good enough not to require any extra parts. I know it's about a dragon and I don't have any 'glass dragon' examples but still I thought this was more 'glass ice'.

Puff the Magic Dragon (June Whitfield).

Glass steel

I don't have any examples yet here.


Glass air

This is possibly the most relaxing, anti-anxiety combination. However, it also includes a bit more variety than expected.

Electra (Airstream).
