Silence in the Sunlight Filtering Through Trees
P-R-O-G-R-A-M
Revenger


-the intro to silence in the-- sigh. the intro to this track with 'komorebi' in the title vaguely reminds me of a chiller version of the explosion from cladun. (there could not be a more contrasting vgm title to compare this to! specifically this reminds me of 1:02 in the explosion, but when I compare the two the similarities are a lot weaker than they seemed in my head. a trick of the light, maybe.) fragments of this track remind me of a lot of different tracks, actually. maybe that's a sign the track is derivative, but I kinda like its overall feel, and the melody fragments remind me of tracks I like.
-folks I hate to break it to you but there's aliens among us. epic epileptic apocalypse is relentless, but there's more to it than a jumbled katamari of music-- its weirdness feels like it's arranged with some care (especially given how oddly seamless this feels in some way), and there's ambition to the strange it reaches for. there's also cohesive elements that stretch beyond its overall mixing and mastering-- it took me a while to figure it out but I think the drum kit plays a large part in that. like the faces in the album cover, it's full of disparate things that find a way to merge together in a bizarre way. also I kinda get hype when 2:01 hits

-my favourite crash bandicoot 3: warped track. I super dig the pluck synth work in this track, especially the way they introduce the track. actually this is full of short synths and I love their sharpness, along with the percussion. (the one thing I don't really care for in this is the guitar.) combined, they give this track a real pace and a frantic energy. really fun track.
-every time the intro to this track comes on I'm like 'oh isn't this that atelier track'. this doesn't actually remind me of any specific atelier track but for some reason that's the first thing that crosses my mind. this has that 'epic' ace combat feel with the big strings and brass arrangement. there's an airy feel to the vocals that I think does a decent job of conveying open skies. there are various parts where I think the chord progression is cool-- 3:37, for example. like a lot of AC tracks in this vein it delivers on its promise of a heroic feel. this track also reminds me, though, why I prefer the epic AC tracks with more of a slow build-- it gives more of a feeling of progression through a track. here, things feel a bit more static (cool dramatic key change at 4:48 notwithstanding).

-revenger. my reaction to this track is not totally straightforward-- a very cool track that always seems to have a fragment missing to sell me completely on it. it's a track that seems to weaken in retrospect, even though I enjoy it each time I listen to it. gives me fits in close matches (and it's been in a lot of those!)
