Haste_2 07/15/20 12:17:16 AM #316:	95) Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana - Sunshine Coastline Series rank: 2 of 4 https://youtu.be/dNgph1g422Q Composer: Takahiro Unisuga Score: 8.1/10 (Excellent) VGMC History: VGMC 11 (Lost R4), VGMC 12 (CHAMPION) Favorite Part: All of it, really This was a bit difficult to rate, as my feelings toward it vary greatly from day to day. (my first rating was 8.5, then 7.6, then 8.3) It starts with an overused new age piano/atmospheric chord progression, but with metal, I actually dont mind it too much! I actually enjoy the bass guitars duet around that hearing them descend from the tonic the fourth is for some reason very SATISFYING to my ear. The rhythmic pulse works really well for some unknown reason. The piano patterns are nice (I like the particular notes that get outlined, kinda 4ths-based). Nice atmospheric synths make a HUGE difference. All of these combine for a VERY impressive overall sound. Nice melody played by a great sounding synth at 0:17! Phrase ending rhythms are yeah! In the next section, the V/VI at 0:43 is very nice! (it happens in other places, too!) At 0:46 the new countermelody is so much FUN. At 1:19 all the offbeats in the rhythm section make the music come alive! (especially the two consective offbeats at 1:33) 1:33 - 1:41 - moves in an unexpected harmonic direction there! Finally, we hit the climax at 1:44! What weird dissonances in the background are we sure the composer didnt mess up at 1:53, wth? But yeah, this whole section makes me feel so LIVELY inside. I enjoy the elongated resolve to the tonic at 2:12! Next section has cool echoey offbeat stuff in the background LOVE IT! Makes a huge difference. 94) VVVVVV - Piercing the Sky Series rank: 3 of 4 https://youtu.be/qq9CD5kdI5I Composer: Magnus "SoulEye" Plsson Score: 8.1/10 (Excellent) VGMC History: VGMC 6 (Lost R6 to Dorchadas) Favorite Part: https://youtu.be/qq9CD5kdI5I?t=137 So groovy, but with a touch of emotion added. Mmmm, those full string chords at the start! The way they play the theme underneath the louder chiptune patterns is cool! That kind of thing is what VVVVVV likes to do. Then the chiptune (bad terminology, I know! Im talking about the NES-like sounds) takes it from there with continued help from the strings. The melody is really stylish at 0:49 nice glissandos in there. It goes into straight chiptune for a while before the strings come back again. It then repeats some similar ideas, but this time with countermelodies added to it! I just love this music every detail is so tasteful. The blending of sounds is just fantastic, and the way instruments or melodies weave in and out of focus is really neat. I cant believe this ended up in the bottom half. --- "Ah, a party!
