Healthy Unicorn Girl
Contrattacco - Emotional Overload
Tachi

FYI Contrattacco doesn't actually loop until 6:15; there are some second loop changes (extra layers like the guitar melody at 3:40 and new synth line at 5:40, octave change at the 3:52 section, etc.) and there's a completely new section at 5:49. I doubt any of the extra material will actually make a difference in anyone's decision, but I bring it up for completeness

Contrattacco was quite possibly my favorite 2021 video game song. I'm absolutely in love with the melding of beautiful synth design and distortion, and compositionally stuff like 1:11 knocks me out of my seat

I remember not liking this Tsugunai track all that much in the past, but it's good actually! Not Neotokyo good, but still good!

I wonder how people who haven't played xenogears think about Shevat

It's really good

Salmon Run is the reason I've put more hours into Splatoon 2 than probably any other video game in the last ten years, so it's really good that its music is all my favorite music in the game!

Basically voting for 3:08-3:23 of Kill Command in match 1 and nothing else
Basically voting for the random piano at the end of the loop of Break the Limit! in match 2 and nothing else
Almost voted for 1:13-1:18 of E.SYNAPSE in match 3 and nothing else

Match 3 is a really rough draw :-(
CMYK sounds like Light Crusader :-)

City Trial ~ City
Battle! (Arceus) ~ Phase 4
Nature

I wonder if City Trial ~ City is actually my favorite Hirokazu Ando* track in the contest. Still find the chords and synths from 1:20 to 1:57 to be really beautiful all these years later
(*: Not confirmed** to be Hirokazu Ando)
(**: It's Hirokazu Ando)

Battle! (Arceus) ~ Phase 4 is my favorite track from what's currently my favorite soundtrack of this year! I like the part where the fabric of reality is shredded into ribbons of tesseracts

#4 dunno

imagine voting against hirokazu ando who woul

#4 dunno sounds like a Ligeti etude or Hungarian Rock or something, and I maintain the reason it wasn't chosen as one of the tracks for the rhythm game is because no one at Nintendo could figure out how to write a beatmap for it

Storm of Fine Weather
Nocturne
LIN NE KRO NE

Match 2 is again pretty close today, it's only the chaos that occurs in Nocturne starting at 5:50 that puts it over the edge for me

LIN NE KRO NE has a really cool video. This match was also really close actually, guess I'm in an electronic mood today

Match 2 was pretty close and I regret not being able to do the full weeb slate today

Deus Hex Machina
Sea of Frozen Crystals
Bi (veeeeeeeever)

Match 1 I probably do like THEMEX more, but I'm voting Hex for that section where for nearly fifty seconds it just does that one syncopated hit and nothing else

Different World 1
Terra
46-:ri9

I don't know exactly what the mechanic behind it is, but in Terra there's something about how the guitar samples interact with the instruments that give it this weird watery drippy sound in the first half of the song and I've always liked that for some reason

Write-in poll vote for .cpt

Extremely likely to support Alabaster Icelands 2 (Version 2) or Battle! (Pokmon Wielder), decent chance of supporting The Heartwood or Coronet Highlands - Summit. Trainer battle in particular is my third favorite track in the game, behind... the two that are currently in the contest 8)

Atlantic Spotted Dolphin
The Glittering City of Yusnaan
Emmental Catalepsy

PLA is likely the best Game Freak soundtrack so you should definitely do that yes

Konran Shoujo Soflan-chan!! (Asynchronicity Unlimited Progressive Polyrhythmic Nightmare Long Version)
Night birds
Time Moves Slow (Home)

Could go either way on the first two matches, really like all four tracks feels bad

Forest Investigation
IroniA
Ancient Makes

Lemm is my favorite Vocaloid producer =)
I personally prefer the vocal version of this over just the instrumental, but this is incredibly fine too
A random YouTube upload describing my feelings better than I can:

lemm defines a hyper futuristic world of fragile mechanisms made of porcelain and glass, running on the whirling memories gifted to its synthetic vocalist.

It always takes me like 10 seconds to comprehend the time signature change at 1:21 in Ancient Makes if I haven't listened to it in a while, because of the snare pattern
