Poly type combinations

Examples of type combination songs with poly as their primary type


Poly fire

 This would be exploring the fire type (being somewhat about fire but not necessarily sounding like it). This example could do:-

 This Sweet Love (James Yuill).

Prins Thomas Sneaky Re-edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAFh3aAIHdE
Poly dark

 Exploring the dark type with very variable music. Just one example I have of this combination:-

 Baba O'Riley (The Who).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gY5rztWa1TM
Poly fighting

 This is music that takes you on a journey but with an underlying fighting theme. Pretty much any primary poly type can sound quite different despite having the same combination. Some examples:-

 The Battle (Gladiator Main Theme) (Hans Zimmer).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unb3FdsT5fQ

20th Century (Windpearl).
YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ED_NzCyAfvA

 No Mercy (Frank Klepacki).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUTUyFpI_tM
Poly earth

 An awesome combination with an acquired taste. This is varying music exploring the ground quality. Examples:-

 On My Own (Yasmin).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsNBQJEofQM

 Defense (Frank Klepacki).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcOqquusi4E

 Shock Your Senses (Busy Dark Mix) (The Rush vs Thalamus).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEpLUkbB_dE
Poly electric

 Varying music with a electric theme. Examples:-

 Autobahn (Kraftwerk).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iukUMRlaBBE

 Mining Truck Game Music (Alexander Ahura).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GWRvx8Eg-U


Poly ceramic

It's quite difficult to get this combination this way round (rather than ceramic poly, which is quite an abundant form of classical music). Some examples I have:-

Dinner is Served (Hans Zimmer).

 Dangerous A (from 'Spongebob Squarepants').
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZ8I1r8N-6k


Poly oil

 This combination name sounds like something futuristic. However, the examples I have for this combination are as follows:-

 Deceiver (Frank Klepacki).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcUIamGiamo

 Fungle Junk (DJ Food).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77HUE8vI8Xc

 Pink Slip (Jerry Berlongieri).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIkjESF6bSo


Poly bug

This is variable music exploring the bug aspect, which is quite an unusual combination but there are plenty of examples:-

Wannabe Stormtrooper (Anarchy Steering Committee).

Portal the Flash Version Music.

Hardware Store ('Weird Al' Yankovic).

The Picard Song (DarkMateria).


Poly grass

A rare but beautiful combination. Examples:-

Dry the Rain (The Beta Band).

Reaching Out SFX (Frank Klepacki).
Poly (pure)

 This was explained in the introduction page. More examples are included here:-

 New Dimensions in Sound (Public Service Broadcasting).

Poly rock

 Poly music with a touch of rock. Again these sound quite different despite all being poly rock. Examples:-

 Polythene Girl (Feeder).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbPtFBTd7bU

 She Spider (Mew).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxpFHg-Bc5Q

 Signal 30 (Public Service Broadcasting).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7quFOoUT08c
Poly glass

 Difficult to make without it sounding cacophonic and choppy but here are some examples:

Mesozoic (Windpearl).

your rEAL (kenta-v.ez).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoqsgE3gUss
Poly ice

 Quite a rare combination which must be quite difficult to create. Note that the primary poly type usually means it might sound like one thing at one moment and something quite different a different moment, so you have to listen to the whole thing through. Examples I have are:-

 Heat Sink (Jerry Berlongieri).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmHjHeZJzPE

 Snake (Frank Klepacki).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kF5uRBcf7A

 Follow You or Follow Me (Future World Music).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1a1VPW7L2k

 Halo (Bungie).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jXTBAGv9ZQ

 Installation 04 (343 Industries).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aij_W1Vl8lw
Poly ghost

 This combination really emphasises the secondary ghost type so they sound extra spooky. Examples:-

 Shade On (Girl Unit).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbZHZt1FkTI

 King Night (Salem).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHiO2HTGUcA

 Neptune Storage Depot (from 'Descent').
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yx2vtuLs04Y
Poly poison

 This is variable music but with the message being poison (although it might also include some badly damaged rap). Examples:-

 What Make Ya Dance (Kraak, Smaak & Dutch Oven remix) (Fort Knox Five).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJVf9MDPig0

 The End (The Doors).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSUIQgEVDM4

 Eminem vs Bob the Builder.
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrXo5YWdURA

My Name is Darth Vader.


Poly normal

In some ways, poly could be considered the opposite of normal, making this combination hard to detect because it cancels out the poly-ness a little. Nevertheless, it results in some very good music. Examples:-

Pumped Up Kicks (Foster the People).

Upside Down (A*Teens).

Vacation (Vitamin C).
Poly fairy

 One of my favourite combinations when in this order. The examples I have at the moment are these:-

 Rakim (Dead Can Dance).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kq59rEVWQNI

 Proximus (Mauro Picotto).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbwp7CSJ_ew

 Enter the Silence (Corin).
YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60rJEzua8wI
Poly psychic

 Poly music with a trippy aspect, to make it extra-weird. Examples:-

 Paranoimia (Art of Noise).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6epzmRZk6UU

 Turn Around (Enigma).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypqVFJonxGk
Poly light

 Such a rare but promising combination. The only example I have right now is this:-

 Sunrise (Infinity).
