Haste_2 03/27/20 11:07:19 PM #179:	142) Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru 8 - lastendconductor Series rank: 12 of 15 https://youtu.be/u_v4lNf4_fo Composer: zts Score: 7.0/10 (Great) VGMC History: VGMC 5 (Lost R3), VGMC 6 (Lost R4), VGMC 7 (Lost R5 to EXEC_SPHILIA/.) Favorite Part: https://youtu.be/u_v4lNf4_fo?t=62 For me, this one is a mixed bag. You know, this was actually supposed to be ranked below miragecoordinator... whoops. I'll probably end up switching them around in my revised ratings. Tasteful use of sounds (hairpins and such) the first few seconds! I like the voice-like crescendo at about 0:29. Once we get into the real thing, we hear that famous hemiola motif pattern from the game (4/4+3/4+4/4+3/4+2/4). Those transitions, man...like at 0:58 - 1:03 and many other places! So tasteful. The violin plays a theme that reminds me of worldenddominator, but actually its quite different (maybe this does play in some other retiree...13 Umineko tracks is too much for me to keep track of the differences)! Its not like I was introduced to them gradually like most of you!) This melody is really explorative with those nice harmonies underneath it! LIke other Umineko melodies, it just keeps going and going! It lasts a whopping 55 seconds! I like how the melody has doubled octaves at first. The string chords and piano underneath is yummy. The hemiola returns again 1:57. Aw, yeah. 2:37 gets loud beats again :( And it kind of stays that way until.3:34. I can now appreciate the offbeat patterns oh, hey, a different hemiola pattern! Loud again at 4:34 until the end of the loop. :[ Overall, though I found most of the music a bit underwhelming outside of my favorite part, which is SO GREAT. 141) Undertale - ASGORE Series ranking: 1 of 2 ELIMINATED: Undertale series https://youtu.be/hMa4hZQbrms Composer: Toby Fox Score: 7.0/10 (Great) VGMC History: VGMC 10 (Lost R5 to The Black Song) Favorite Part: https://youtu.be/hMa4hZQbrms?t=109 Our first "series" (with two or more reps) gets eliminated! (To be fair, my favorite Undertale track is not on the list.) This kind of music is precisely why love Undertales soundtrack: its VERY quirky. And my bias towards NES games makes me love chiptune use, too. Seriously, Im flabbergasted by Toby Foxs abilities to not only create an entire game solo, but a soundtrack thats good enough to get two tracks retired in VGMC. Quirky modern use of chiptune. Use of timpanis and low choir samples make it that much more odd. I like the upgrade to maestoso at 1:32. I love the last 30 seconds or so when it gets quiet again the switch to Dorian scale sounds SO GOOD here, and then we get some weird scale modifications (flatted 2nd and flatted 6th at times) that make me smile! One thing I DON'T like is the intonation... it's, like, inbetween keys. --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So... what is a party?"
