There were only fifteen tracks rated an 8.4. MycroProcessors all-time favorite music at this time. This not only retired, but won Bracket D good for him! Sorry I dont like this as much as most of your other nominations (stylistically it's not really my thing), but Im still happy to see it do well! (my previous rating of this turned out to be inflated, probably because of hype) I guess Ill just attempt to talk about the polymeters since I dont have a whole lot else to say, probably. This has an awesome array of sounds that all complement each other really well. Strings have a good punch to them at the start. At 0:13 we already get our first dose of polymetrics 6/8 on top of 5/8, well even though the subdivision in this case is actually a quarter note triplet. At 0:27 we get varied meters for the melody (4+3+3+3+3+4+3+3+3+3), but the beat subdivision is standard. We got these B.T. Dutch- like drilling sounds after 0:41 that I didnt notice until I started this write-up. 1:08 is possibly (actually, most definitely) the most intriguing part of it the way the music kind of floats and slowly rotates around and around. Love it! We get 5/4 unison rhythm but with the triplet as the subdivision (once again), but the note layouts between the strings and the buzzy synth are different, creating an interesting voice leading of sorts. At 1:21 it gets even better--we get these playful insertions that I couldnt have ever figured out the rhythms for. Unless I slow them down! Thank you Youtube for that option. But anyway, the subdivision of those seems to be a third of that of the strings/buzzy synth. Meter seems to be divided into (3+3+3+3+3)+(3+3+3+3) or something. But gee whiz, does that mean those subdivisions are a ninth of half note? But hey, there are nine groups of three as shown earlier in the writeup so maybe I got it right! It sounds so weird at normal speed, though. Now theres the bass to work out, too. Actually, no. Im done trying to figure out these rhythms! Ive spent 45 minutes on this already! Oh, wow, I didnt realize the intro stuff came back in at 0:27! But okay, Im done guessing rhythms! Anyway, its a very fun piece of music! 81) NieR - Emil (Karma) Series rank: 2 of 5 https://youtu.be/9izExqTCFQg Composer: Keiichi Okabe Score: 8.5/10 (Excellent) VGMC History: VGMC V (Lost R4), VGMC VI (Lost R3), VGMC IX (Lost R3), VGMC XI (Champion) Favorite Part: https://youtu.be/9izExqTCFQg?t=62 More of the standard NieR (tribal) drums! No complaints there. What can I talk about here? Nothing wrong with the instrumentation...nothing wrong with the singer. Nothing overly dramatic or surprising happening in it, but it overall sounds nice, like a good action fantasy movie soundtrack! This one isnt quite as suspenseful as some of the other music in the series, but I prefer this one in terms of overall sound! It's GREAT! I enjoy the subdued, distant singing style. The piano arpeggios are really good, take those out and it's just not same. --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So... what is a party?"
