Into Free -Dangan-
abstain for now
Towards the Horizon

Into Free -Dangan- (6.4 - 51st place) / Blue Line (Instrumental) (4.6^ - 60th place)
Vast Poni Canyon (7.8^ - 25th place) / The Dark Messenger (8.9 - 12th place)
Towards the Horizon (7.6 - 36th place) / FLIGHTLESS (6.8 - 46th place)

I really don't like the sax in Blue Line (too much like Kenny G, sorry, I don't like Kenny G very much) but everything else about it is fine....it has the occasional unexpected chord so I guess I'll raise the score a bit.

Vast Poni Canyon is awesome... it's not among my favorites in the game, but I underrated it, nonetheless~! (Sun/Moon is my FAVORITE OST in the main series) 0:32 is awesome...love the chords in this section, plus I love the flatting of the 5th swapping with the perfect 5th there, and I love the melody anticipating the tonic at 0:48, and I love the odd note to end the phrase at 1:07...well, I could go on and on about little compositional details.

I love the Dark Messenger, too, though... definitely a good choice of Uematsu. Not really a fan of the organ solo at the start., though... I much prefer when it goes jazzy. I don't think it ever uses more than three or four instruments at once, but it's full of suspense, particuarly when it starts chanigng keys every phrase. And I LOVE the harp's unexpected entrance at 2:13...oops, I mean a piano! I just love how the music climaxes in a calm/mystical/haunting sort of way with that piano... cool stuff!
