134) Sol Survivor - Oil & Sweat
https://youtu.be/FfrPhfyQHMw
Composer: Arnie Serigstad
Score: 7.2/10 (Great)
VGMC History: VGMC 7 (Lost R6 to the executioner)
Favorite Part: Anywhere where the piano is emphasized

Sounds like.... machinery! Really dangerous machinery. The primitive flute sounds like youre out in a deep, dark forest, though. Nevertheless, all the different sounds complement each other REALLY nicely for the gist of it the bells, the woodwind synth, the pianoall of it. But especially that piano! I do enjoy the harmonic ostinato in this one (for the main sections). Simple, but it helps carry out the mood. The way the melody and rhythms flow is rigid, but in a good way...? It starts off calm, and then starts picking up in intensity after two minutes, then once again after three minutes (the tempo picks up, too). When it gets loud at about 3:35, the grindy noises arent really my thing. But right after that is totally awesome...cool bass and panning! Kind of goes back to earlier ideas, presenting them in slightly different always until it gets really loud, the big climax! Not my favorite part, but I like the cooling off afterwards.

133) "Sonic the hedgehog 2006 ""Solaris Phase 2"""
Series rank: 3 of 3
https://youtu.be/vRe3h1iQ1Os
Composer: Tomoya Ohtani, arr. by Hideaki Kobayashi
Score: 7.3/10 (Great)
VGMC History: VGMC 4 (Lost R4), VGMC 6 (Lost R7 to Zero (Ace Combat))
Favorite Part: https://youtu.be/vRe3h1iQ1Os?t=73

Isnt Sonic 2006 one of the worst Sonic games ever? Regardless, I know that it has at least one great track from it! Talk about CATCHY! Sonic is ready to take on the world! I love the way melody and accompaniment emphasize the last eighth note of each measure (with changing harmonies) in the first section. Nice build up into the repeat of the idea at :10-:13. 0:24 we have an even bigger buildup to a more climactic melody! 1:14 adds some metallic flavor. At 1:52 the beginning idea, but this time harmonies are changing underneath via sustained brass chords + countermelodies + choruses! 3:31 gets us some nice electric guitar staccatos, etc.! Towards the end we get more of the stuff like at 1:52, woo.
