Haste_2 09/12/20 10:50:09 PM #371:	90) Silent Hill 2 - Theme Of Laura https://youtu.be/6LB7LZZGpkw Composer: Akira Yamaoka Score: 8.4/10 (Excellent) VGMC History: VGMC 4 (Lost R4), VGMC 5 (Lost R3), VGMC 7 (Lost R3), VGMC 8 (Lost R5 to The Last Duel) Favorite Part: 0:59 - 1:37 I havent played much Silent Hill, but I really do intend on beating them! Someday. I even own the first two games. This is Lauras theme, but it sounds like more than a mere character theme. I wonder if this is an ending theme or a game over theme, as well? The style is awesome, even though I cant specifically identify the kind of rock this is Ive heard music like this in the Bourne series. Dark, a little twangy, not happy, with a feeling of unresolved or failed finality, among other feelings I cant think of. This track is also oozing with emotion, in a way similar to Price of Freedom. We got the acoustic guitar, but then we have some other guitars that sound like a gray area between acoustic and electric. Good stuff! Electric violin naturally fits in here,too. The main catchy refrain at 0:40 is catchy! (nice 9th chords and tasteful chromatic movement) 1:00-1:37 is one of the cooler sections because even though there is some main melody, we have all sorts of layers getting involved with melodic pieces. Nicely balanced tapered final chord! <3 89) Okami - Reset ~ Thank You Version Series rank: 2 of 2 https://youtu.be/IRx9gnY0Mp0 Composer: Hiroshi Yamaguchi Score: 8.4/10 (Excellent) VGMC History: VGMC 2 (Lost R2), VGMC 3 (CHAMPION) Favorite Part: 0:17 - 0:48 Hmmm. very lovely. Nice echoey acoustics for the intro flute call. I like the Okami flutes for their slightly metallic quality (but they dont ACTUALLY sound metallic). Right after its got some of those eerie sounds from a kind of Japanese instrument Ive heard them in Ace Attorney case 3-5, actually. A double-reed of some kind? If anyone can identify it for me, that would be awesome. I love the way they zone in and out. Interesting note choices, too... I never heard them very well until I listened with headphones! They're kind of dissonant in an "overtone" sort of way. Theres not a lot to this, but its very pretty. You got some good countermelodies that keep this from going stale. But yeah, it's very heavy on the traditional Japanese style., and in in a way that I love, and its not like I like all authentic-sounding Japanese music. Really, who needs European instruments when you can make equally beautiful orchestrations just with those from Japan? I cant formally name any of these instruments, but oh well perhaps one of the plucked instruments is a Shamisen! (okay, it uses European strings and brass, fine, but theyre not the focus) Aw, yeah, low brass starting at 2:22 I love low brass in this game. And they only get more involved when it gets more epic around minute three. 2:42 the Shamisen-like instrument has a nice lick. 3:42 - An extra measure gets added at the end of the phrase for the long harp glissando tries to graceful, but it comes across as kind of cheesy. 4:39 - its a stylish way to refer to the opening lick just before the the end I especially like the note choices from the harp. --- "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:944537492] in Haste2 ran...
