I am very pleasantly surprised. :) When you were telling us the next write-up was ambitious, I specifically hoped it would be for A Warning to All Pokemon. But I knew it wasn't going to be that one! (except it was!) I seriously loved that video, too. (I might as well put it in my Favorites) And I'm glad you'll revise the score higher since I was a bit disappointed in its official placement.

A Warning to All Pokemon! is actually a very meaningful track to me. It marks the beginning of what I consider the best 31-track streak in any OST (ending in Second Dark Matter Battle). This one ranked...let's see...#122 in my vgm rankings. I love "dark" PMD music. Subtle details everywhere (e.g. delay echoes, swells) One thing I like about its composition regards 0:52, where you would expect completely new material. It sounds like it's doing just that if you aren't paying attention, but it's exactly the same melody as the beginning; it just fits within the meter differently. Clever. And then the "oohs" near the end of the loop make me float away every time I hear them! *_*

You'll be disappointed to hear this, but PSMD has overtaken Gates to Infinity as my top game soundtrack, after finally fully exploring it last summer. That's sad because Gates' soundtrack doesn't get nearly the attention that the other games in the series get, but it definitely deserves it. (Gates has a higher average rating because PSMD has lots of filler; however, I would take the top portion of PSMD over the top portion of Gates, easily) PSMD has some strong connections to some very personal things (it's quite literally helped with certain problems in my life), which I'm sure is a factor in why I like its music so much. On discord I said there were "at least three" PSMD tracks in my top 100 vgm, but that was an equivocation. Saying the number of them would make me look bad, haha.... despite that, there are still 37 composers represented in my top 50 vgm, however.
