didn't make any progress with listening to the list but since i've talked about a bunch of european VGM composers in this topic before, i'd like to mention one i had not mentioned yet: ben daglish. he was a british composer - he sadly passed away from lung cancer in 2018. he did the soundtrack for the commodore 64 version of the last ninja (not to be confused with the NES version, which is actually a port of the last ninja 2).

yeah, i didn't think you hated all music with electric guitar in it, just seemed to me that when a song was really focused on the instrument, you would often complain that it "detracts from other instruments you would rather be listening to." that's why i was pleasantly surprised to see you pick a song that's so electric guitar focused!

ok, i'm still slowly working my way through the list of songs and i do so have some comments:

veracocha - carte blanche - these two guys are from my country, nice to see them get representation in this topic. i didn't know that they were known outside of the netherlands but i'm not surprised; trance/EDM is one of our bigges tmusical export products. good song.

pat metheny group - the roots of coincidence - i actually listened to the entire imaginary day album, which i had never heard before (i'm reasonably familiar with pat metheny but he's made a ton of stuff and there's a lot of it i still haven't heard). excellent album. as for the roots of coincidence specifically, given that mycro is often negative about the electric guitar, i thought it was interesting that he picked a song where metheney plays a quite lengthy, rocking electric guitar solo. great song with great playing by everyone involved.

currently at #292 so i'm past the halfway point. as slow as i'm going, i am making some progress, at least!

for the record, last time covid numbers in the netherlands were this bad was early january.

make the bus is a good song but it's not one of my favorites on the archandroid. i like most songs on hissing fauna, are you the destroyer? (not sure if you ever did finish that album) better. but perhaps i'm too harsh on the song because i think, being in of montreal's style, it's a bit jarring in the context of that album.

i love the archandroid, btw!

Personally I feel like indoor dining came back too soon over here as well..

definitely. seems like the government was being way too optimistic and we're heading towards yet another inevitable lockdown, especially now that this delta variant shit is going on. i hope i'm wrong, of course.

Congrats btw.

thanks!

just got my first shot of pfizer. no side effects yet, aside from very light pain in my left arm.

i'm just now going through this topic, sorry for responding to a four months old post but...

I just kinda Googled "best saxophonist" to get to Kenny G and then spent an hour clicking through his channel, in search of something new to nominate.

this is funny to me because kenny g is not AT ALL respected as a good player in the hardcore jazz community. pat metheny (i think mycro might have mentioned this guy once or twice) in particular has gone after him hard on several occasions.

for the record, i personally love kenny g (well, some of his stuff).

going through all the tool songs that raetsel ranked, i got a newfound appreciation for third eye. it's probably my favorite song by the band now.

if all tool songs were as good as third eye, i would probably like them as much as steiner does!

Yeah, fair enough. Also, in retrospect, pointing out songs I've lowered my opinion of completely unprompted would be... pointlessly cruel? So, I'll just go ahead and scrap that idea. Thank you both.

maybe you could do a side project where you just talk about songs from topic 1 you've completely changed your mind about? i do think that would be quite interesting, really. you could stick to songs you used to hate and now like and not discuss songs you used to like and now hate if you don't want to come off as pointlessly cruel.

my first reaction to your second idea is that how i feel about it somewhat depends on how much your music taste has really changed. like, if only 20% of the solo topic 1 ranking would be radically different, going through an endless series of "yup i still agree with my old writeup, i still [insert emotion] this song" writeups could get a little tedious tbqh.

i agree that having scores for the songs from the first topic to make it fit better with the second (and third) topic is nice, though.

you gave the pat metheny song mycro nominated - the roots of coincidence - 61.9 points. interesting how you gave both songs a very similar score, considering they're in pretty different styles. you seem to consistently think he's an above average artist!

one final suggestion before the VGMC15 nominations start:

a song by pat metheny (mycro also nominated a song by him) that was very much inspired by steve reich. curious what you think of it.

if you don't take requests anymore, that's fine, but don't close this topic please! still want to listen to all the songs you ranked and i'll probably want to add some comments.

pretty amazing that you watched the whole thing! i appreciate it, even if you didn't end up liking (that version of) the piece.
