Topic	[VGMC] R16 D6: Battle!! (XBC2: Torna) vs Flash Frost (Atelier Rorona)
Haste_2 06/10/19 8:56:22 PM #48:	See my previous post for my vote. Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna ~ The Golden Country Battle!!/Torna What an unexpected style for a battle theme from Xenobladewell, its way different from Unfinished Battle, at least. This seriously has to be the jazziest VGM to ever retire in VGMC! I really like the slow melody A, the transition, and the more rhythmic melody B. really, the whole thing. But especially melody A! Harmonically not super complex, but the note choices within them are nice. Also, the rhythm section is SUPER involved, which makes everything that much better. I guess I havent been listening closely enough. My original #14 was way too low! For example, A lot of the piano figures are super awesome (0:20, 0:26, 1:07, 1:31). such When everything repeats, the I like the use of the string sections, too. Instrumentations move around when the themes get repeated. The solos from the piano, string bass, and drums near the end of the loop are done very well. Favorite part: Melody A (0:14 0:43, etc.) Ranking: 14 out of 16 (revised ranking: #10Id go higher, but my top nine are just way too beloved.) Atelier Rorona Plus: The Alchemist of Arland - Flash Frost I love the stereotypical Atelier sound, how the instruments resonate in this one, and the, um, girly syncopation? (sounds silly to put it that way) The interaction between the rhythm of the melody with the rhythm of the bass and piano, the way Flash Frost does it, is the kind of stuff I like in music. The tonality of this track is ambiguous at parts, as far as what the melody outlines, which I find interesting. For example, the intro suggests the key of B major, but by the end of the phrase the established key is G# minor. The placement of the acoustic guitar solo, and its execution, and its note changes, are absolutely perfect. Im liking the piano/violin combining to play B right after that what a nice, full sound! Once again, we hit the ambiguous tonality a 1:33 (theme C) when it refers to the intro, though it turns out that intro is really part of this theme. Interesting. Funny how so much of this track is in minor, but it feels so MAJOR and HAPPY every moment. Favorite part: Really hard to choose just one section. The guitar solo, perhaps. Ranking: 4 out of 16 (revised ranking: #5) --- Congrats to Advokaiser on pwning me in CBX! <cite>Haste_2 posted [p:923086781] in [VGMC] R16...
