I bet you werent expecting Rapal to be so much higher than Laguerra del Mundo!! I really enjoy the folky violin, the way its used alongside a more new age open piano chords (going back between 4th and 5th notes in the scale). Its a cool sound even if it may not be overly complex. I really, really like the basic harmonic progression (with the piano idea on top) as demonstrated in the first 14 seconds. The violin comes in utilizing Dorian when theres nothing in the harmonies that even suggests that! (yet if fits right in) I love the very rhythmic, dance-like feeling. 1:30 introduces yet another new violin melody that is simply WONDERFUL, and thankfully it gets used again later on. 2:00s simple hemiola makes for a fun and effective transition into the full, grindy electric guitar sound at 2:14 its certainly an interesting way to boost the energy. And the way it switches to major.!!! *______* I LOVE the use of the minor 7th in a major scale through those piano chords there! FINAL FANTASY PRELUDE sound!!! The chord change at 2:37 is so yummmmmmmy. Overall, I love this piece, pretty much every moment of it.

Very folky, but it has a tight electronic-like production to it. Fast-moving flute duet lines are lots of fun as an intro the writing for them is loads of fun with all the 16ths at the end of their solos! 5/4 meter! The main melody is, um, an accordian, I guess? Im not entirely sure, as it sounds a lot cleaner than what I would expect from an accordion, in fact, I love its sound! Then harps continue a similar stuff to the flute materia to counteract the main melody, filling in all the holes of the melody! Yeah, that harp adds a REALLY nice texture in general. 0:42 is nothing but fascinating harmonies throughout (piano makes it sound nice and thick). It would seriously be fun to analyze that part of it! For example, the first chord there is major tonic, yet the music is in minor! Then drops a third a bVI, then drops a third again to iv, but has a 4th in it. 0:57s intermediate section sounds SO GREAT, too I cant get enough of the bass alternating the flat and natural 6th scale degree there, especially the way it interacts with the top voice!!! Final chord is not triadic, but based on 4ths... Mmmmmmmm. Anyway, this is MY kind of dance music.
