Haste_2 06/08/20 11:51:24 PM #248: | 120) Ace Combat: Assault Horizon - White Devil Series rank: 2 of 3 https://youtu.be/SLqhF2wswYk Composer: Rio Hamamoto Score: 7.7/10 (Great) VGMC History: VGMC 7 (Lost R4), VGMC 8 (Lost R6 to Small Two of Pieces) Favorite Part: https://youtu.be/SLqhF2wswYk?t=194 What a suspenseful, creepy feeling the strings evoke at the start. Awesome dissonances from the brass/low strings only add to that feeling, along with the CHILLY crescendo at 0:26. Grindy guitars join the fray kind of groovy. Very hard rock-esque. Cool echo delay at 0:35 and some other places! At 0:38 strings join the guitars with some wild lines. It gets calm for a while, but then at 1:29 the guitar decides to WAKE YOU UP. 1:58 makes a great little contrasting section...such wonderful, pure voices. Then suddenly all hell breaks loose at 2:11!!!! What ugly brass intervals but I think its SUPPOSED to be ugly! Ghost voices weaving in and out at the 2:54 section. Chill-inducing! Up to this point its been thriller music, but it then suddenly turns BEAUTIFUL at 3:15. I just LOVE that surprise switch-up at the end. Mmm that TUBA note at 3:18!!! All-in-all, the production is excellent, but not compositionally what Im looking for, really. 119) Sonic 3D (Saturn) - Rusty Ruin Zone Act 2 Series rank: 2 of 3 https://youtu.be/Wn2YxjPxnuk Composer: Tatsuyuki Maeda Score: 7.8/10 (Great) VGMC History: VGMC 3 (Lost R3), VGMC 4 (Lost R6 to Moon Over the Castle) Favorite Part: https://youtu.be/Wn2YxjPxnuk?t=79 One of the chillest tracks on the list! In the short intro, I love what the piano does there! The sixteenth-triplets are awesome it sounds like tremeloes combined with running up and down a half scale, and the delay is cool. Once the theme begins, the piano and guitar in the background blend seamlessly. 0:42 is chock full of intriguing harmonies. 1:20 brings the same material again, but this time the piano gets put on top fabulous writing there! More awesome piano stuff after that, too.lots of reverb that I really like. I could do without that awkward singing at 1:36 how odd. Overall it's GREAT. I need to listen to the Sonic 3D soundtrack, come to think of it. --- Congrats to azuarc for winning the Guru challenge! ... Copied to Clipboard! |
