Oh, well. Also, I accidentally ranked this one too high it had a high preliminary rating which caused me to continue the rating process a bit too late. Anyway, its a nice piano solo piece. Nice flourishing piano effects at the start and ambiguous tonality. Im liking the 4th-interval-featuring chords in the intro. Pedals! The strings there add more than just texture and atmosphere they add legitimately interesting notes to the mix! The main theme comes in at 0:24, and the melody couldnt POSSIBLY get any simpler. Its 100% diatonic here. And yet it comes across as beautiful. Its not super emotional, though. Nice arpeggiations in the bass add a graceful fullness of sound. The second part of the theme at 0:47 gives me a Chrono Trigger To Far Away Times vibe, and the bass movements are continuous now. Mild, bell-like percussion gets added later ahhhhhh! I cant enough of those. I like the subtle thing done at the end of the phrase the added 9th at 1:22 is very sweet. 1:24 we get some added complexity! The melodic stays diatonic, but the harmonies gets really active here. Nice feelings evoked. I love the varied intervals between the two parts of the top piano line here, too. My favorite chord is probably the one at 1:43. 82) VVVVVV - "Positive Force" Series rank: 2 of 4 https://youtu.be/Tp3qiOKuEBM Composer: Magnus "SoulEye" Plsson Score: 8.3/10 (Excellent) VGMC History: VGMC 4 (Lost R3), VGMC 5 (Lost R6 to The Sun Rises) Favorite Part: the key change at 0:53 (I'm starting to think I like Piercing the Sky more than Positive Force now.) The composer knows the right kind of chiptune sounds to use! What is there to talk about. The music, like other V6 tracks, defies the typical format of coming up with a melody and then making accompaniment for it. It feels like the accompaniment is unified with and binded to the melody. There are even sections where there really isnt much of a melody, such as at 1:49. Sometimes the melody takes the backseat, then it comes to the forefront later. The beginning is cool because there are (kind of) two melodies going on in the background before the melody comes to the forefront at 0:13. It keeps building and then it has an AWESOME key change at 0:54. I love the change of feel at 1:08 - I really love the new material there. It dies down before the main idea comes back to entertain us one more time. I enjoy the last little bit of melody at the very end the trill in particular. All in all, a very rewarding piece of music to listen to --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So... what is a party?" "You drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." <cite>Haste_2 posted [p:943825889] in Haste2 ran...
