GUERRANT-OFENZA-SUPRONT-UNNE
An Endless Desert

another "i like every song day" but g-o-s-u is another like level of intensity of perfection to my tastes that has been achieved by very few other songs. I may even say g-o-s-u is the most emotionally moved i get by any piece of music in existence; there's other music I "like more" for other reasons (including the 5 songs i ranked above this in vgmc), but nothing actually "feels as cool to listen to" in terms of emotion/atmosphere exuded as g-o-s-u to me, so that is a pretty big deal (note: this title is contested...by mostly other pso2 vol7-8 music also by hidekuni horita specifically lol). Just nothing touches horita's style of constantly outdoing himself with run-on melodic lines, emotionally intense startling unpredictable chord changes that make me float in the air at every twist and turn, excessively dense parallel harmonized 4ths/5ths stuff that sounds like VIDEO GAme music inside the forest computer, I WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's just an unrelenting rollercoaster of things that go not quite where i expect or hope at every other second, instead they always go somewhere even better

the past few weeks I've been going through all 34+ hours of pso2's music finally, slowly; at this point i've listened to all of vol 1 & 4-8, most of 2-3, and most of what's out there of the new stuff that isn't with an ost release yet. I can safely say pso2 is without a doubt my favorite soundtrack now, sorry sonic shuffle you had a good run of half a decade of being my #1. Hidekuni Horita specifically is also in my top 3 vgm composers of all time for sure now (too bad he has so little confirmed music outside of pso2) and fukuyama and kobayashi are certainly even higher for me than before too. Great set of music that's more than large enough a catalogue to keep me busy and entertained for a long time to come.
