all 5 are great songs!!!!!!!!!!!!

exsphere: ultimate darkness. i've talked about this a lot last year and this year too probably. I like it~! so many things i like at once that are hard to find in the same song as each other usually

lastendconductor: i never tire of the polymeter theme reused between all the epic zts trance songs in these games. i seem to really be in love with examples of polymeter where it's odd time layered on top of four on the floor trance edm drum beats including my favorite song sword art online fatal bullet dungeon geofront 4. actually this has even more polymeter stuff in it than worldenddominator, but its more subtle about all of it so i never noticed some of it until RIGHT NOW. Whoa..... in general this has COOL SOUND DESIGN and is EPIC and really makes you O_o think. epic tranbce music nostalgia for 2001 and also 2020 because it reminds me of my favorite song sword art online fatal bullet dungeon geofront 4. this reminds me of steins;gate which is a visual novel that I am watching the anime of that has video game music in it because it is based off of a video game(visual novel). It is about time travel which is cool because so is chrono cross

dream: the repeating fake choir pad always gets me here. WHY IS FRETLESS BASS SO 90s and i think it's 90% (90s percent) This song's fault that i associate fake fretless bass so much with "90s" whatever that even means I think yasunori mitsuda is almost as great as cubes; and dreams. i first heard this song in a youtube video in 2008 that was basically unedited all of the flybys in myst 1-3 and with a unfinished/rejected ocremix version of this song as the bgm. I had no idea what the source material was and it took me a while to finally figure it out despite it being listed in the video since it didn't mention the game, just track title and remixers' names. coincidentally a Myst youtube video using to far away times as the bgm is how I first heard the Chrono Trigger credits theme as well, even though i'd been familiar with most of that soundtrack for a lot longer. Was pleasantly surprised when I found out this was a champion in previous contests when i joined vgmc in vgmc 3 !

z: i talked about this one already in this cocntest. It's fun : )

nilin: this track's been memorable pretty much ever since kcf first nommed it for the first contest he nommed it for; it pops into my head any time I hear glitchy elements in something orchestral. you know this actually sounds like if you took a fairly archtypal aaa orchestral theme but then played it in sound voltex ha ha. I really love everything about it, it's a world created where you can't tell the difference between what's artificial and what's organic at times. some layers that start out sounding like real instruments turn into the fake computer glitch sounds; and the other way around too. It's not a jarring juxtaposition, the natural instruments and computer destruction of them depend on each other to make this a full experience, and the barrier between these two things is less clear than i'd expect them to be
