Kaze no Ne
Undertale
EXEC_over.METHOD_SUBLIMATION/. ~omness chs ciel sos infel

Kaze no Ne is absolutely fantastic. The vocals sound so nice and I love it. And while the vocals are the highlight I'd be remiss not to also mention the background rhythm section. The percussion used here gives the song a neat exotic feel which is also enhanced by the vocals. Just an all-around great song. Easily my favorite discovery from the reverse ranking topic a bit ago. Floral Fury is a lot better than the 20 seconds I listened to during nominations led me to believe, and it actually develops a pretty good groove quickly after that and maintains it for most of the song. Unfortunately it still doesn't stand up to Kaze no Ne though.

Riot at the Bat Rack sucks. Undertale doesn't. RatBR does work better in context admittedly (which still doesn't offset how much I don't like the song itself), but either way Undertale is also one of the primary examples of "better in context", so...

This side bracket match is pretty strong. The Xenosaga song is not earth-shattering, but it's a very solid track that establishes tension in a way that's pretty interesting to me, though i do admit I fanboy a bit over Kajiura's style. This Ar Tonelico song is really pretty though. Might even top Kaze no Ne for my favorite song of the day. I wish the Ar Tonelico hymns got into the contest more these days. Looking at VGMC as a whole I think the Ar Tonelico hymns are the songs I'm most thankful for being introduced to.

Kaze no Ne > EXEC_over.METHOD_SUBLIMATION > Undertale > Floral Fury > We've Got to Believe in Something > Riot at the Bat Rack

Really strong day overall. Even though I have it in 5th for the day I'd still say We've Got to Believe in Something is a pretty good song.
