The Filthy Mind (Theme of the Hive Mind)
Jazzy NNYC
Flaming Bonds are Being Tested

Today is "crazy close matches with songs I wasn't into at first but have grown on me to make matches hard now" day. What the heck. So The Filthy Mind unlike the other Terraria Calamity songs during nominations, just wasn't particularly great for me. Maybe that nasty intro partly turned me off. Maybe the other TC songs just work better for me. But at least standing on it's own it's not bad. Good dark dramatic. The sorts of keys/tones in the section from like :10 - :28 gives me a deep nostalgic feel as if it reminds me of somethings I played a while back, like Torin's Passage or DK64. I wasn't too happy with the intro of this song on it's own but when it kind of fades in and lingers in the partial distance, at 1:16, complete with a little unstable glitching, it works really well for the song. What really makes the song for me isn't the fast paced guitar stuff or drums but the backing tones. Which might be made from the high strings I keep complaining about, well tastes don't have to make sense. Less interested in the part at like :46 where those backing tones seem to be absent and instead we've got this whistle that feels like some western fighto. Drum beat during this part is at least pretty neat. Meanwhile the other song, it's a neat little calm peaceful cavernish tune but I don't like the calm peaceful genre it sets out to be. It's kind of a neat little atmosphere it puts me in though. I kinda like that ringy percussive instrument at the start. Hm, I sort of figured I'd have more to say about this. This match feels less close when I think about it but Sand Canyon 3 is alright.

So similar to what I had mentioned before, I wasn't entirely into Disco Necropolis during nominations. I loved +TEK's stuff in AGHR but was less interested in skeleton boomerang, maybe because I really do not care for corny halloween spookio stuff. Maybe because I feel like a lot of my childhood was robbed of Halloween but that's a story for another time. Anyway this IS still +TEK and I love a lot of their stuff which ultimately shines through here. When the instrumentation is not corny halloween junk it's the stuff I really love except for the saxophone which I can have mixed feelings on but it works okay here as neat jazzish. Also I really love the loop point here, it's like the beginning of the song works really well on it's own and yet at the same time it's also half of a "thought" that just runs smoothly during the loop. Nice stuff. Jazzy NNYC the saxophone comes off as less appealing to me than in DiscoNecropolis go figure like I said nothing makes sense. That said the full jazz paths that this song takes are all really good, pretty much all except the very first part which gets repeated but that's still okay. And then after a bunch of the fun jazz chaos it gives a downfalling moment of peace and the song's great okay.

Then we've got the toc which I've already said was close before but I didn't change my mind before lets see if I do this time. oh no it still feels super close quit tempting me to flipping. I think I'll stick with where I was. The other main matches today feel like they should be really close too but at the same time my decisions feel pretty confident about what I prefer compared to this.
