That's good stuff, especially that Crisis in Urban District.

131) Mega Man 3 - Sparkman Stage
Series rank: 4 of 4
https://youtu.be/6J5cN87c2yM
Composer: Bunbun, Harumi Fujita
Score: 7.3/10 (Great)
VGMC History: VGMC 2 (Lost R5 to Dragon Roost Island)
Favorite Part: 0:12 - 0:25

Ahhhh my favorite Mega Man tune of all time! Well, it WAS 12 years ago when it retired, anyway. Still, its kinda cool to see it retired, and its notable that this the only regular Mega Man stage theme to get such an honor! These days with MM3, I prefer Snake Man (along with the Wily Stage themes and the Intro MM3s soundtrack is killer!), as well. Still, this has some merits. The main catch is, of course, the groovy 5-note lick that keeps repeating at 0:12. Add another three-note pattern that, when combined, creates a kind of reverb effect thats really cool its really creative use of NESs limited capabilities! Add a cool chromatic duet at the end of the phrase (adds so much INTENSITY), and its just :) Then you got the second half (at 0:25)... the main melody is fine but its the countermelody behind that makes me go aw, yeah!. Its so Mega Man 3ish, with how minor it sounds in such a groovy way. Oh, and the loud hits at the very end of the loop YEAH!

130) Ys Seven - Innocent Primeval Breaker
Series rank: 3 of 4
https://youtu.be/lS7_tcwsj4E
Composer: Yukihiro Jindo
Score: 7.4/10 (Good)
VGMC History: VGMC 6 (Lost R3), VGMC 7 (Lost R3), VGMC 8 (Lost R6 to Papilliones)
Favorite Part: https://youtu.be/0fb9KLewxoI?t=59

Tons of energy in this one! The melody is merely decent, though, imo. The intro begins with soft bells (which get to used in several other parts!) that are really nice The first part of the theme is merely okay, but I gotta say the contrasting section works REALLY well (which starts at 0:59). Music goes more lyrical with violins, and then you get this perfectly timed percussive idea (everything in ) at 1:07, whoamg AWESOME. Also, nice bit of Dorian there. 2:19 presents a virtuosic guitar solo its not really the kind of playing I like, but at 2:39 theres some tasteful rhythms followed by unexpected harmonic changes from 2:44 to 2:48! Epic. As far as the latter half of the loops, the second guitar solo does absolutely nothing for me, but at least part two of the theme comes back at 3:08 again! At 4:25 the drummer goes nuts and honestly its a pretty epic climax (I enjoy the top line added at 4:34)! (I like this, that, this, that, and there!!!)
