Very pleasant. What sets this track apart from other nice/pleasant songs is these atonal bells that are used throughout that give it some nice heft. Its like two bells in harmony, but one is off-key, and its really lovely. When I revisited this song for the second listenthrough, I noted that it felt like I was returning to an old friend. 129/3024 @DanKirby Star Ocean: The Second Story - We form in crystals https://youtu.be/ZA0Pk5DKKSY As you may have gleaned from earlier writeups, Im not the biggest fan of Motoi Sakuraba. But We form in crystals is a strangely compelling song. I especially like the wolf howling that appears periodically. The song is almost six minutes long but it doesnt feel long at all, at least not in a bad way; like a walk through a darkened forest, there are new discoveries and a hint of danger around every corner. 128/2974 @Paratroopa1 Life on Earth: Reimagined - Stage 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRaC60Y5_Ps Yes this FM synth sound on this is so good. Songs like this, with minimal melody but heavy reliance on a particular soundchip, get by for me partially on the percussion. This track has a lot of really solid percussion, nice crunchy drums and a deep THROBBING bass. Heres actual footage of me with the FM synth in this song: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/6/6a6ed352.jpg 127/2960 @tazzyboyishere Lumines - Shinin' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cr5ey9HNorE This is A Big Song. Ive used the term maximalist a few times so far and Im not sure if Im using it correctly, but Ill use it again here to refer to a song with big sound design. Lots of energy, Wall of Sound production, heavy reverb sometimes. Shinin does all of these things. Much like SHAKE YA BODY, the Lumines nom from last VGMC, its repetitive, but it holds my interest all throughout. This is an example of a song that uses repetition in a way that I find engaging and fun. It even changes up 2/3 of the way through to a more acoustic tone, so if youre bored with the song, skip ahead 126/2944 @Collen The Urbz: Sims in the City - Lathouse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rMzApMW3Yw This song has everything: sex noises, someone muttering in French, funky beats, and beeping. All in the first 30 seconds! When the dude comes in speaking in Simlish or whatever, it transcends to another level. Its fun if nothing else! This strikes me as an example of microhouse, a genre Collen introduced me to in the album ranking. (Fans of the Ballz 3D Title Theme may wish to take notes on this one.) <cite>rwlh posted [p:979352780] in I rank 300...
