Good topic! We don't agree on music all that much, but I admire your time, effort, and fun presentation! Very well done. Having two tracks get a perfect ten was a definite surprise! Last topic I got maybe one in the 80+ range and that was it, I think.

Holy Wilds is one of my favorites from Opoona. You mentioned low tones. I totally agree with that. The full sound really fills out with the majestic, mystical feeling it evokes. The perfect score you gave for it would have been a powerful motivator for me to get it into the next VGMC. The problem is that, well, it was rolled in BOST6, and it got nearly doubled by Small Two of Pieces. >.< I will nominate some other Opoona track next VGMC...

Interesting to see the March movement of First Suite in Eb nearly get first place, meanwhile the other movements only got between 50 and 60 points! But the march movement is my favorite, too. Marches tend to be shallow in terms of design. The music is just... there. This piece is different... I guess being part of a suite means it has to be more than that by necessity. But yeah, the way the two contrasting themes get combined and build towards the climax is totally epic. And I love the energy the ornaments give at....dang it. Did I give you the North Texas recording rather than Eastman? I love the stronger brass in that version, even though it is less clean, admittedly. But yeah, I just love hearing the first trumpet join the woodwinds with those ornaments at this moment: https://youtu.be/lk7c0m7SfNE?t=113

I haven't listened to most of the music in this topic, but I really do enjoy These Hallowed Wings. That one's a keeper, for sure.
