I did say in the nomination topic that remixes/arrangements of VGM were acceptable, and sergio took me up on the implicit offer, nominating a lush jazzy remix of Chrono Triggers main theme. Chrono Moonstone starts off with lush piano and then transitions into a more jazz band style. The 4/4 time of the original is turned into 7/8 time, with other time signatures floating around too.

I had trouble judging Unconvention here. I feel like when judging a remix of a song I know, it becomes a question of does the remix go somewhere new and exciting, which seems like an unfair and unequal standard I dont hold other songs to. Fortunately, Chrono Moonstone went to exciting new places, so it placed high in Unconvention.

What a strange song this is. Not the song itself (although it is a bit strange), but in terms of me not really connecting with it. On paper this seems like something Id like a lot: weird, aggressive synthy music that sounds like its come from a modified Amiga. Its gripping at parts I find myself gravitating toward the section beginning at 2:00. I gave it high marks on Unconvention and Appreciation, very much the mark of a song I can objectively appreciate, even if I struggle emotionally.
