One of the weaker Liberl town themes, but it's still good and has that nice pastoral feel that I associate so much with Sky FC. The Evo version is a notable improvement, which is shocking to me for a song going for atmosphere like this. However it manages to keep everything about the original intact while having a much prettier melody due to the violin.

Remember before the rankings started, I commented that this project was irrevocably ruined, that the people involved had such terrible taste that they should be barred from listening to VGM at all, and that they should be so ashamed and disgusted of themselves that they should consider moving to a conservatory where any communication between members, and even any unnecessary noises, is punishable by death? This isn't that song

I wasn't expecting such a radical difference in style between the two songs.... I will be honest here though; I TRIED so hard to think up any excuse to not rate the evo song this highly, but I can't bring myself to do so as that would be disingenuous to my true feelings on the song. It's basically "What if Modern, but as a rave song?". It is really uncanny how similar this song was to Modern in all honesty given I love this track for the exact same reasons: The buildup to the beat drop/transition is great, the beat drop/transition itself left me swooning, and it went about the rest of the track with the right amount of energy. If I wasn't so worried about my ear drums, I would be playing this as loud as I possibly can for the optimum experience.

I can dig a technodance remix from time to time

This is. I hope to god that you can blame your headphones for this, tgs. And Lea? Take my earlier comments towards you and multiply them by a hundred.

Original sounds very... ethereal? Sure, that's a word.

Lead instruments in the Evo are kind of bright (ha .), and wow I'm really glad I read the thing about not judging based on context because this does not sound like "Trails the 3rd" at ALL and it was throwing me but honestly it's not really much worse

a close call, but evo's low strings in the arrangement are delayed and really sour what would otherwise be a pretty cool arrange; still both are great in different ways
