The remaining music is so good!!!

62) Super Robot Wars Alpha 3 - Trombe!
https://youtu.be/BvbkVAnpcR4
Composer: ???
Score: 8.8/10 (Excellent)
VGMC History: VGMC 1 (Lost R2), VGMC 4 (Lost R8 to Hope)
Favorite Part: https://youtu.be/BvbkVAnpcR4?t=68

Sounds like a hopeful battle theme! Im liking the saxophone/brass-like synths for the main melody. Energy!!! (One way to spell trumpet in Italian is trombe) Gotta love those old-school Uematsu runs up and down in the intro. Whenever the melody splits into two parts, it adds a lot of fun energy, such as that tritone at 0:10! 0:34s circle of fifths + other harmonic stuff is unstable in a fun way a nice way to move things forward, for sure. Wind chimes are lovely at 0:57, if hard to notice. This part sure is lively, especially when it splits into a duet again at 1:03, I LOVE whenever it does that! Gotta love that final chord at 1:18 (Eb major 7 chord) everything is pointing towards a certain resolution (D major chord), but nope! Because the upward arpeggiating at that same moment never touches the D, the harmonic effect becomes that much better! (thats the best part) Pretty melody-focused overall (most background stuff isn't notable), but its still really fun to listen to!

61) Napple Tale: Arsia in Daydream - Wild Wind
https://youtu.be/6ihGry7NT_8
Composer: Yoko Kanno
Score: 8.8/10 (Amazing)
VGMC History: VGMC 3 (Lost R2), VGMC 4 (Lost R5 to Rusty Ruins Act 2)
Favorite Part: The intro + anywhere the strings get featured

So light and cheerful :). Also, yay for a REAL orchestra, playing at a HIGH level! The intro sounds like something straight out of Appalachian Spring, with the arpeggios and chords being largely based on fifthsbut especially those strings doing the maj 7th 5th via contrary motion (very open sound) one of Coplands best chord changes! (actually, Ive never analyzed Copland music, so what do I know) bIII chord in a major key! Bluegrassy melodic bits make it just a bit wild ;) Then you got this cute pennywhistle awwwwwww!! I like how its not perfectly in tune makes the music feel more rustic. Im loving the string writing here even after the intro it fills me with such warmth! For example, the violas playing A-B-C#-B-A (D major chord) at 1:13! Reminds me of FF Origins overworld theme, IIRC. >_> LOVE when the strings so enthusiastically take over the melody at 1:31.so expressive!!! Gotta love whenever the starkly flatted 7th whenever its in the melody, very wild-west sounding ;) We get more of an upbeat dance at 1:46...very sweet. The very ends reverb, though I swear the bells played a wrong note.
