Haste_2 10/13/20 11:28:19 PM #409:	Finally back to it! 68) Rivals of Aether - Luna Ascension EX (aka OST 7) https://youtu.be/4WLm3RX4hHI Composer: flashygoodness Score: 8.7/10 (Excellent) VGMC History: VGMC 10 (Lost R5 to Despair of ELFERIA) Favorite Part: https://youtu.be/4WLm3RX4hHI?t=25 This ones unique. Cheerful, yet smooth, electronic sounds, chimes blend in nicely in an oddly non-acoustic way, you got those 16th note runs up and down. I dont know how to describe the exact feeling, but its epic and celebratory, at least! Heh, what an appropriate pen name (er, alias) for the composer. The way the melody SOARS is great (big range!). Also, great lead synth sound. Great fast four-note melodic patterns , for example at 0:11 I LOVE those note choices (4ths intervals). Sixteenth note ascending/descending runs in the following section are :), and then the lead synth gets involved with the 16ths at 0:30!!! The way it flies up to a beautiful major 9th, and then glisses back down love it! From there it repeats. A bit later then get these cool NES PUNCHES to spice things up for a moment! (and they get involved subtly in the percussion following) It gets a little boring with follows...it merely starts repeating a relatively unimpressive part. The general feel is maintained, though. And the end cadence is relatively disappointing in practice no cool soars or runs anywhere there. :[ 67) Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddys Kong Quest - Forest Interlude Series rank: 2 of 5 https://youtu.be/slKNBP7VEvI Composer: David Wise Score: 8.7/10 (Amazing) VGMC History: VGMC 3 (Lost R5 to Dire, Dire Docks) Favorite Part: https://youtu.be/slKNBP7VEvI?t=91 Okay, so yeah I finally found out that Gangplank Galleon was indeed created by David Wise. See a supposed recent interview with him (https://youtu.be/v_RNM2QlujU). Back to Forest Interlude, though DKC2 has the BEST soundtrack on the entire SNES! (IMO) I cant get enough of the ambient music from the game, especially. The chirp, chirp, chirps are used very artistically! Even the primitive drums (with a bit of musical pitch in them, typical of DKC) fit in. Different kinds of delay echoes. At the start you got nice crescendos and diminuendos among the synth pads, and you got what sounds like a mix of monkey chant and synth I like the way its tone changes subtly through there! Pan flute fits right in with the ambience. 0:27 - 0:30 is just WAY to cool cool note choices. At 0:38-0:40 you got this cool effect thats like the OPPOSITE of 0:27 - 0:30 (lets slow this down to speed). Ah so its basically three note patterns descending, except that each pattern gets repeated. It makes for a really interesting gradual, but bumpy fall (in a graceful way <_<) At 0:50 you got the nice call and response between the harmonica and its delay echoes a bit later! You got two added beats before it starts slowly ascending harmonies (by thirds) at 1:32, with MORE of those cool patterns from 0:38-0:40 at the end. AMAZING!!! This is my favorite part of it all!!!! Its here where I wonder if 8.7 is too low of a rating Anyway, The final section kind of winds down with more nice harmonies, except the bottom note descends chromatically beautiful! And then it seamlessly uses material from the beginning to end the loop. But yeah, if I ever wanted to learn to make electronic music, this would be near the top of my list as far as inspirations, for sure! --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun!
