Zero no Kiseki - The Geofront didn't really like this. it's too boring compositionally. i think if mycro did a writeup of this song, he'd complain about "patronizing chord changes" and such (or maybe he'd think this is great, i don't know what i'm talking about when it comes to music half the time). (speaking of mycro, when i saw the title i thought this was his favorite song the other geofront (4) for a split second, which i love!) cool instrumentation but it didn't save the song, unfortunately. NFUN posted... 29. Zero no Kiseki - Ancient Pulsation not that fond of the composition here either but i do like this one. nice multi-layered instrumentation and the phrasing gives it an enjoyable swinging rhyhtm. oboe hype! 30. Zero no Kiseki Evolution - Firm Strength now we're talking! this song is great. i love how fusion-ish this is. nice odd time signature and i love the rotating pat metheny-ish melody. too bad the whole soundtrack evidently isn't as good as this track (still might check it out someday anyway, though!). NFUN posted... 31. Phantasy Star Online 2 - Ice-covered Love ~ Kohri great song. even though a longing to acient times (part 2) is from the original phantasy star online rather than 2, a lot of what i said in the writeup for that song applies to this one as well. some parts of it are "wahhh this is chaotic and weird mycro-ish music," while others are more "typical jazz fusion," which gives it a nice tension and relief throughout. my favorite part is at 7:09. ahh the lush chord changes are so good! almost (but not quite) as good as the chord changes in fire island volcano (that was my favorite discovery from the last VGMC by the way, i've listened to that song at least 100 times now). (fire island volcano lost to the aforementioned geofront 4, which was fine by me because i also love geofront 4, like i said! one of my favorite matches of the contest!) anyway, my only problem with this is that the plodding drums kind of get on my nerves after awhile. it's like it's a fusion band with amazingly talented musicians and... the drummer from status quo. that's a minor complaint, though. also, relevant mycro quote from rwlh's VGM soundtrack topic: It was my favorite soundtrack for most of the 2nd half of the 2010s (in 2020 has now been replaced with pso2 but this is still a strong 2nd place) wow, this is from mycro's favorite soundtrack!! probably for good reason, if this song is any indication. i should listen to it! (i should also listen to the PSO1 soundtrack while i'm at it.) --- THE RANKINGS are not coming soon. i need to relisten to everything first. also, i'm going to rank them in tiers now because i'm bad at ranking. --- Geothermal terpsichorean ejectamenta ...
