Topic	Haste2 ranks the VGMC retirees - Finale!
Haste_2 02/13/21 7:19:47 PM #129:	I messed up! Not on the VGMC 12 rankings, but that rhythmic/percussive part in EoLL. There are no 16th-note triplets--they're exclusively regular 32nds. 10) Sound Voltex III Gravity Wars - Preserved Valkyria https://youtu.be/jGiKTPgINy0 Series ranking: 1 of 6 (bemani) Composer: penoreri Prelim score: 9.5/10 Score: 9.7/10 (phenomenal) VGMC History: VGMC 10 (Lost R5 to Ricordando il Passato) + CHAMPION of VGMC 12 alt bracket Favorite Part: The long intro as well as and 1:04 - 1:22, https://youtu.be/jGiKTPgINy0?t=64 The first time I listened to this I was overwhelmed with how much was going on and didnt like it much at first. But once I became acquainted WOW!!! Piano, piano, piano I LOVE PIANO when its used creatively. The enhancements from supporting synths make it even better, but its still all about that PIANO!!! This has an INSANE amount of energy, possibly more than any music I have EVER heard, and that makes this very near a 10/10 if Im in the right mood. Constant non-triadic note choices/dissonances. This was originally like #3 in the rankings, but Ive decided it doesnt leave the lasting impression some of the other remaining tracks have.... Starts with a big bass chord and thick cluster chords used in a tasteful rhythm Love the sounds in the background, they way they drop out at 0:04, then the way they crescendo, and then out again at 0:13. Nifty 16th note passages theyre SO explorative in the first 20 seconds of this thing I love the sextuplets at 0:19. 0:23 you chords with cool note choices (root, 4th, 5th, 7th) inverting on itself on an EPIC ascent on top of bII in the bass and the top one gets repeated like six times OMG OMG OMG!!! Really, all the rhythmic variety in the first 30 seconds makes it so EXCITING. Then you got these insane piano runs (almost a glissando), then these big musical statements with chimes, low piano, choir voices, etc on tonic. Way cool electric guitar gliss at 0:38, then on bII again. 0:45 the celeste references back to the melody at the very beginning to transition into the next exciting section! 0:47 - artificial (reverse effort) piano crescendo that Ive stated so many times that I love! 1:03 - LOVE the fast notes moving into the next phrase, with a WONDERFULLY placed pretty pop-style tune. 1:18 has another one of those bIIs that works SO WELL with this music. Synth and piano join forces at 1:22! At 1:30 the piano and synth go WILD with those insanely fast sextuplets, OMG OMG. CHIMES. 1:40 I like how the melody resolves on the 9th, and then we get a nice recap of the material of 0:48 to close this thing out, with thicker orchestration. 1:49 the violins do the theme while the piano continues its texture. Nice synth+piano descending into the final tonic with a VI in the bass!! Tasteful. Finally got our ninth elimination... ELIMINATED: VGMC 10 10) Sound Voltex III Gravity Wars - Preserved Valkyria (9.7) 13) Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru 8 - Ricordando il Passato (9.6) 23) Drakengard 3 - Kuroi Uta ~ The Black Song (International Version) (9.4) 68) Rivals of Aether - Luna Ascension EX (8.7) 70) Beatmania IIDX 22 PENDUAL - Despair of ELFERIA (8.7) 152) Atelier Ayesha: The Alchemist of Dusk - Slag Dance (7.2) 157) Undertale - ASGORE (7.0) 178) Undertale - Megalovania (6.2) This is yet another list people will probably want to invert.... --- "Ah, a party!
