Haste_2 02/15/21 11:33:04 PM #141:	6) 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim-(Isoleucine)- Series ranking: 1 of 2 https://youtu.be/p-MUwawZrfw Prelim score: 9.2/10 Score: 9.7/10 (Phenomenal) Composer: Yoshimi Kudo VGMC History: VGMC 14 (Lost R8 to Endeavour) Favorite part: https://youtu.be/p-MUwawZrfw?t=191 Ah, the most recent champion! Oops, I mean, erm, how did I forget so quickly? It was supposed to be the champion. >_> I dont know how to precisely classify this other than its...like, orchestral edm if such a term exists? But yeah, its amazing that music like this is actually beloved by board 8 VGMC music fans these days! A few years ago this probably couldnt have gotten anywhere. Anyway, the music largely relies on a single ostinato thick chords doing a repetitious danceable rhythm for 8 bars. And yummy chords, they are! Cheerful! Ambitious! Confident! And its fun hearing how they change...like, the top line might stay the same (it stays static the whole time, mostly), but tonally things are interesting because they get used over two, three different keys!l! And then an endless array of ideas get used in conjunction what a joy to listen to. Okay, theres definitely stuff about the chords I definitely CANT hear, but theres generally contrary motion between the top line and bass at the start, which is fun to hear! Same basic idea continues at 0:39 but now Im hearing cool parallel ninths!! I love :52 when the violins get involved, and then you get those COOL synth far away key [scale] at the end of the phrases. Then the bass gets a lot more active. Also, nice way to modulate into 1:44, and now its like totally ORCHESTRAL!! Oh WOW, the violins go CRAAAZY at 2:03! Nuh uh uh uh uh! Then its kind of not my cup of tea for a little while, but then the ostinato returns, yay, and strings keep finally At 3:15 when it starts to have some fun with rhythms, swapping out syncopation in favor of streams of dotted eighths, and it utilizes those to stretch out the end of the phrase in a way thats AWESOME. ESPECIALLY THE LAST THREE NOTES OMG OMG (approx. 3:28)! After that it repeats some earlier material, but then the gorgeous violins take the center stage, ah, its absolutely BEAUTIFUL LYRICAL stuff! THIS SECTION is finally where the acoustic aspect of the music hits the apex!!! This is one of those times where doing a write-up helps me appreciate the music a lot more! Strange, but true. I originally wasnt sure which 13 Sentinels retiree I liked more, but theres no question now this is my preferred track from that game. All in all, this music is so good its SICK! I always thought it was amazing, but its grown on me. P.S. if everyone had delved into this music just a little bit like I did maybe it could have beaten endeavour! Another P.S. It sucks that The Last Location of Mankind plays next on the VGMC list... >_< --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So... what is a party?"
