| Toxtricity 05/28/21 2:55:41 PM #220 | can't believe bjork's drakengard 1 x g-darius crossover cameo song managed to get 26th place glad you liked it!!! i'm a huge bjork fan, like she's up there with "yasuhisa watanabe" and "mitsuhiro kaneda" and vgm composers i talk about all the time as being my favorite musicians (as is oneohtrix point never actually). she's like a top 3 vocalist for me, but the actual composition AND production of her music is so perfect for my tastes too not ashamed to go out at 26th place when you clearly found some cool stuff you liked in my picks! thanks for listening! --- time |

| Toxtricity 04/15/21 5:49:44 PM #163 | i was really worried you would hate the vocals in clasp for some reason and that it'd drag it down to the bottom; so i'm glad i was wrong on that! or at the very least you got to focus on the reasons i picked it for you (instrumentation, overall effect, flow, 'journey'). It always reminds me of ar tonelico even though it doesn't really sound like it; just has that same folk/world vibe and synths mixed with natural instruments in a cool combo, which gives it a similar appeal to me in terms of where it sits in my tastes a lot of people hate jethro tull's 80s period for a lot of reasons; but it's my favorite jethro tull stuff because of that exact mix of electronicness into the already folk-prog nature; and clasp highlights that the best of any single song imo. --- time |

| Toxtricity 04/15/21 4:58:59 PM #155 | Oneohtrix Point Never - Mutant Standard : ) one of my favorite songs ever. I nominated it because you've talked about how much you value music that feels like a "journey", i knew it was the right choice when i thought about other stuff i know you like. some of the more adventurous longer neotokyo songs; or parallax. and it's certainly off-the-wall bizarre weird in style in so many ways. only sorta coincidental it happens to be by an artist repeatedly covered in casio mario world. now if THIS oneothrix point never song could be recreated even vaguely faithfully in snes limits for a mario hack, i would be deeply, deeply impressed. very glad i got to show this piece of music to you --- time |

| Toxtricity 03/12/21 6:20:43 PM #275 | i think the comment that got you looking into steve reich was me referring stuff a bit more in this vein, when i compared the angel beats song to him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRN_jUrJSnE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgzQcDrX86M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fITdlcNpCQM honestly i never would've expected you specifically to like him, but more it was just what that angel beats song reminded me of, was very clearly a reference to his style. reich is definitely about having repetition (taken to an extreme) but a lot more strange, rhythmically complex and heavily layered repetition than you'd get from like the kinda dance music you don't like i guess. but because of that repetition focus i wouldn't have ever imagined you into him. maybe you'd like some more electronic covers of his stuff though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccD18YD6eVc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZx-KL7yQ3c though maybe if i think a bit i'll be able to come up with some stuff by him that'd actually interest you he's one of my favorite artists of all time and influential to me to the point i'd say i would barely be even close to as interested in music as i am now if it weren't for his music. but definitely someone who's difficult to recommend to people because of the extreme length and repetition in his stuff. regardless music by him or music influenced by him is typically some of my favorite ever --- time |

| Toxtricity 03/09/21 1:38:25 PM #246 | there was actually a period where i acted like i didn't like snow fox as much as the rest of the border down ost, and was annoyed it seemed like it was the most popular yasuhisa watanabe song. i've since changed my tone on that tho, particularly because of the 1:56-2:24 section you highlighted as your favorite part actually! It happens so late in the loop that sometimes i forget it's part of this song and not some other song in the ost, one of the best moments in anything by yack. and the whole song is honestly great, was just salty because i'm attracted to weirder songs in this game for sure. definitely would consider supporting it --- time |

| Toxtricity 03/03/21 7:34:08 PM #83 | this is very late but i feel like i should point out. part of why i nominated the brainscapes one is because it reminded me of SKY TOWER's main ostinato. and i know you are a fan of pokemon mystery dungeon sky tower. but given how poorly it performed i now wish i had nominated something else to fulfill the same role! there's certainly other similar things i like that you would've liked more --- time |

if you enjoy this i'd highly recommend the whole album to you. there's some tracks that wouldn't interest you (i personally love frozen but it's certainly not representative of the variety of sounds this explores), but as far as pop music in this era goes, it was one of the most explorative of crazy electronic sounds and from what i know of your taste in music, you'd find a good bit to like --- time |

| Toxtricity 01/17/21 3:17:03 PM #137 | well I'm glad you liked the dux content one!!! It was maybe the nom i was most confident you would like, so I'm glad those instincts were right, even more right than i was expecting! there's a whole label called "pc music" that's kinda founded by one of the members of Dux Content, but most of it doesn't get quite as weird as dux content ever got. easyFun is the one artist on there i'd probably recommend most besides looking into more of dux content. At some level their mission statement is much like your writeup described, it's often to exaggerate cliches in pop music SO far that it winds up actually being extremely weird instead of sounding like cliche pop music at all anymore, and feels more like it's written by an alien trying to imitate it though honestly everything that comes out of pc music as a label is extremely hit or miss for me and I feel like it would be that way for you as well, i'll just link a couple favorites for now that I feel are more similar to Dux Mix 1, and you can decide if you want to explore further in anything, just don't expect any of it to sound quite like Dux Mix 1---to me nothing can beat that either. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V06V4Od9bUI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGlIT5gelcc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDx66obrD7w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drICxAYG9sQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzind8htaMI --- time |
