Haste_2 06/20/20 11:19:20 PM #287:	105) Solatorobo: Red the Hunter - Re-CODA https://youtu.be/R46437vIFv0 Composer: Chikayo Fukuda Score: 8.0/10 (Excellent) VGMC History: VGMC 6 (Lost R4), VGMC 7 (Lost R7 to EXEC_SPHILIA/.) Favorite Part: https://youtu.be/R46437vIFv0?t=206 I know Ive heard music like this before. This is very pretty! Somber start. I enjoy slow, leaping melodies like what the piano does! Great chords, too. It lightens up a bit when the vocals start.the voice is impressively pure and floaty. Nice supporting vocal channels when they come in! The harmonic ostinato is a bit too familiar, but it still sounds very nice considering. The melody on top is great, though! Nice cello countermelody at 2:15. It becomes a bit TOO much like Pachelbels Canon in D at 2:39. At 3:26 we got a CHILL-inducing key change mmmm, suddenly theres all these flats, and we hear some less predictable stuff! But then it goes back to the home key too fast, aw. The piano comes back again to conclude kind of like at the beginning, but this time more consistent with the lighter feel of the main material. Overall, its not perfect, but its very emotional! 104) Umineko no Naku Koro ni 4 - dreamenddischarger Series rank: 7 of 15 https://youtu.be/3vYAXZs8pFU Composer: zts Score: 8.0/10 (Excellent) VGMC History: VGMC 3 (Lost R5 to Theme of the Last Time Travel) Favorite Part: 1:14 - 2:11 What can I say? This music pretty describes Umineko music as a whole. That loud beat, though I wish it wasnt used for so long. But actually, it doesnt bother me as much as it used to! (the write-up was made like 4 months ago) Oh, well, I can still enjoy it, at least. The opening is fine... kind of a neutral groovy feeling that makes you wonder whats going to happen next. It transitions starting at 0:46 to a, um, transition section. This section is actually really engaging. The harp and piano in the background, the harmonies they make, as well as the crescendo makes it really nice. And then the OTHER main theme comes in at 1:14.That violin melody is really something! One of my favorite uses of violin in any Umineko music. The chord progression here is simply fantastic. The music is constantly evolving here. This section reminds me of how the russian classical composers love to create a melody that keeps going and going and going... 2:40 is the one part where I could do without, but it doesnt last long. I love it when a beat gets added right before moving to a new section such as at 3:20 with that percussive hit! The final section at 3:21 has some really nice instrumentation. The bell-like melody/chords and the strings blend nicely, as well as the light percussion. Nice lengthened dominant at the end of it, too. At 4:00, the material from the intro comes back. I just noticed a meter from the harp there. Cool. 103) Umineko No Naku Koro Ni Chiru 7 - The Executioner Series rank: 6 of 15 https://youtu.be/eLuSj6tP5nA Composer: zts Score: 8.0/10 (Excellent) VGMC History: VGMC 5 (Lost R1), VGMC 7 (Lost R8 to EXEC_SPHILIA/.) Favorite Part: The intro Oh, dear somebody is screwed Heres some typical Umineko music with an extra dosage of Halloween. Phantoms all over the place! This is a lot like goldenslaughterer. First off, I REALLY like that motif (C-F) ostinato thats used a lot in the first minute. Its so distinctly Umineko. Wow @ that those sound effects. If only I could describe them. Cool phantom-like shrieks and things. I dont know what it is about it, but it has this demonic vibe that I really like! The ghost chorus comes across as cheesy to me, though...what a shame, because theyre used too much. That cool motif comes back for a bit at about 1:40, so thats cool! Then we got kind of an organ-esque theme at 2:10, but slowed down. Nice extra beat at 2:40. I love how it winds down shortly after and then we got some funky rhythms, yay lots of dodging the beat by a 16th note. Makes a nice contrast. The rise to the climax starting about 3:10 is. Wow. Chilly winds blowing, and then theres that fast glissando at 3:22. Aw, yeah. --- Congrats to azuarc for winning the Guru challenge! <cite>Haste_2 posted [p:940998830] in Haste2 ran...
