| Haste_2 03/26/20 11:58:02 PM #178: | 143) Metal Slug 5 - Windy Day https://youtu.be/8dKo5fjh4pU Composer: Toshikazu Tanaka Score: 7.0/10 (Great) VGMC History: VGMC 1 (Lost R5 to Scars of Time) Favorite Part: https://youtu.be/8dKo5fjh4pU?t=44 The Wild Westand windy....what fun. It pretty much relies on one basic musical motif (minor arpeggiated dotted-eighth-sixteenth+quarter note idea), and it works great. The harmonic progression is intriguing! I like how the last chord of the FIRST phrase is a major V, but the melody anticpates a minor v. Then shortly after that it goes to a way cool major IV in the middle of the second phrase (see 0:38)... perfect timing of it. Kind of stereotypical with the way the Mexican trumpet and whistling are used. The guitar sound is absolutely perfect! Actually, it seems that ALL the samples were carefully chosen... impressive. Even the string samples sound just right.... I LOVE those super fast sixteenth-triplets they play at 0:43 as the pickup into the next section! This contrasting section where the horn and strings take over is YUMMY, too! Cool trumpet solo at 1:18... I like its movements that don't fit in with the meter perfectly... tasteful! --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So... what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." ... Copied to Clipboard! |
