-(Isoleucine)-
DNF FW15C (ALL PHASE MIX)

isoleucine - first encountered: 13 sentinels joint listenthrough with Toxtricity - trend: steady
-whenever I listen to this I marvel at how well-executed it is. energetic and upbeat but never in a rush, cool variations in mood, composition and arrangement while maintaining a cohesive feel, impeccably produced. even the shifts between its internal phases feels seamless. what a standout from a standout soundtrack.

move me - first encountered: deo's guessing game - trend: steady
-move me's breakbeat groove is fast but moves through its variations at a fairly leisurely pace (and anchors itself pretty firmly to that tonic chord throughout). it's the latter that makes me more impatient than perhaps I should be about this track. it wants me to sit back and enjoy the ride but I want it to 'FLOOR IT!', as it were.

dnf - first encountered: listenthrough of soundtrack after Mac's post in pre-vgmc12 topic - trend: steady
-a lot of my fondness for dnf actually revolves around dnf -I-. the buildup of the first phase is cool, and I like its airier (and strangely more wistful) feel. like other all phase mixes in blue reflection, I see dnf as a tasty fish with a lot of bones-- there's a lot to enjoy but I need to pick my way around it a bit, and it can be tiresome to do that and sometimes I just want a fillet, you know? (man these metaphors are getting weirder)

love scope - first encountered: this vgmc (I checked out some of the caligula effect soundtrack when it came out but didn't really do a focused listenthrough) - trend: slightly up
-I can dig love scope if I don't overthink it and just enjoy it as fun, catchy, high-energy j-rock track, though my feelings on the vocals getting more off-kilter as the song progresses is mixed. I can imagine it as like a cool shounen anime OP or something. you know, scenes flashing by in the first 8 seconds, followed by the title shortly afterward and then the show credits appear starting at 0:27 where the vocals kick in while the main characters show up in cool poses or goofy personality scenes, followed by actions scenes at 0:35. then at 0:43 (probably my favourite part of each verse) other characters (mysterious ones!) show up in slow panning shots. wonderful! I can see the whole thing play out in my head.
