Haste_2 10/03/20 11:27:26 PM #405:	I can understand not liking Kurokami. Certain things about it really resonate with me, though, mainly the intro. I would drop it to like an 8.3, though... my opinion of it has gone down as of late, certainly since the time when I voted it over YOATI in the ToC. Whoops, I forgot the link to Kurokami: https://youtu.be/24MZkwhD0go 70) Beatmania IIDX 22 PENDUAL - Despair of ELFERIA Series ranking: 4 of 6 (bemani) https://youtu.be/RNmTgi43zuo Composer: Naoyuki Sato Score: 8.7/10 (Excellent) VGMC History: VGMC 9 (Lost R2), VGMC 10 (Champion after Megalovania fiasco) Favorite Part: https://youtu.be/RNmTgi43zuo?t=16 Dont worry, theres still plenty of popular music left! Whoops, looks like I need to revise my write-up, since it was originally the short version I created this write-up for. Pretty epic Beatmania track, isnt it? But I gotta admit, listening to this with headphones is just.ugh. So. Loud. (pretty much it applies only to this and three of ZTSs tracks) I guess Ill have to rate this one on my laptop speakers, then. It starts off a lot kinda like Dark Legacy, yay, but its more folky/Celtic/danceable! The beginning sets up some of the main ideas in this track with two (soft) ideas going on at the same time the piano clusters (yum, one is a 7th chords 2nd/3rd dissonance, another has 1st/2nd/5th/octave) along with the low string triplets We got some nice two-on-three hemiola going on there, too. LOVE IT! It crescendos into chimes and brass and a weird scream?....whatever! But I really like the first grand chord at 0:30 :) :) :) Super energized! My [second] favorite part has to be when the xylophone takes over at 1:13...the rhythm pulse there is nice, as I like rhythmic pulses that avoid many of the strong beats ;) Fast playing too is epic! 1:42 is awesome with a more folky feel again, and I Love that flute fall!!! On the downside, the lead synth is a bit overpowering for my liking (even if its blended with other stuff), and a lot of the melody its assigned to I dont care for, either. The two endings, though epic final chords! 69) Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru: discolor Series ranking: 3 of 15 https://youtu.be/pLJWV4rxVTg Composer: zts Score: 8.7/10 (Excellent) VGMC History: VGMC 4 (Lost R6 to Dark Cloud Main Theme) Favorite Part: The beginning This is zts, huh? I guess that makes it my favorite zts retiree! That piano. Wow! Its got a nice coolness of tone. I love each one of those open-sounding chords (actually, two high notes plus a third way down low), plus the way each one diminuendos...gorgeous. The second and third chords are nice, especially. Man, those staccato/scattered electronic sounds make a wonderful contrast. Talk about clear, beautiful ambience. Man, for this type of music my write-ups are woefully inadequate. (and I cant think of any music to compare this to) 0:48 you got a ton of interactions going on, but still really transparent! I really like the violin-like additions heremakes it sound quasi-acoustic. At 1:12 you get harsher synths going a bit wild in the background, adding intensity but not intruding on the ambience. And finally, choo-----choo...it works somehow. But wait, were not done yet, it just keeps adding little things here and there! The pure guitar-like sound after that is simply wonderful, especially when it goes up an octave at the two minute mark...AWESOMENESS (the whistling high note at 2:41 tops it all off nicely!!. But yeah, part of the reason I like this so much is that there arent many chords, allowing all the different parts to be heard easily and the result simply sparkles :). --- "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:945426831] in Haste2 ran...
