Haste_2 11/30/20 11:51:47 PM #460:	Back to work!! 42) Dra+Koi - Love Song of a Certain Dragon https://youtu.be/a2kyr1S7Tfg Composer: Ikuko Ebata, arr. by Toh Ohyama, Other credits: Kanako Ito (vocalist) Score: 8.9/10 (Excellent) VGMC History: VGMC 5 (Lost R6 to Unfinished Battle) Favorite Part: First 22 seconds Haha, wow, this music BLOWS you away right off the bat! Man, that BEAT at the start the rhythmic chants, that double-reeded instrument (the pickup is GREAT), and theres the alternating between 23 beats and 32 beats...The low-pitched drums/claps/chants in combination are SO CATCHY. And the way it it quickly modulates to the major IVWOOOOOOOOWWW!!!! I wish I could say the rest of the music lives up to the intro, but. not quite. When the dynamics drop at 0:22, it doesnt give me that insane high anymore. The vocals are nice, though. But I gotta note that the main idea at the start is in five despite the meter, which allows for the seamless transition from 6/4 to 5/4. Good folk-like use of acoustic guitar here. The high comes back somewhat when we hear the starting material again!! Theres some electronic sustained sound that blends in with the guitars that I really like (such as at 1:44), too. 2:51 unexpectedly brings electric guitar to the forefront to give us a sort of folk rock sound for a little whilenot bad, actually! Not so sure on those synths after that, though. But anyway, It finishes off with an unexpected big low note (pun not intended because it ends NICELY :) :) :))!!! Anyway, this is some of catchiest folk dance I've ever heard! 41) 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim - -[Deoxyribose]- Series ranking: 2 of 2 https://youtu.be/mlmYYyzek48 Rating: 8.9/10 (Excellent) Composer: Yoshimi Kudo VGMC History: VGMC 14 (Lost R7 to Endeavor) Favorite part: https://youtu.be/mlmYYyzek48?t=96 Fact: the only way I could prevent myself from continuously getting Deoxyribose and Isoleucine mixed up is the fact that Deo nominated this one! Very convenient way to remember it, indeed. =p This is a bit tough to write about. Just spew some words. MAN the atmosphere on this is fantastic! Cool ambient electronic metal here. Very much a banger, indeed. Those staccato 16th note patterns to start off are simply :) :) :), very 80s. (I dont really like 80s electronic stuff on its own, but I love music that borrows stuff from it) The electronic bass gives a similar feeling when combined with the percussion. String samples fit in this so well, too. At 0:50 comes the refrain, which is very catchy and you know things are serious! But what I LOVE about it are those POWERFUL 16th bass note runs leading into the melody EPIC! Ive never heard the bass done in that kind of way...but man, theyre overpowering if you use bass-heavy headphones! At 1:36 we get these STUNNING delayed voice samples that sound so distant and pensive. Yeah, its my favorite instrument in this track, for sure! Plus combined with the mellow bass and the soft string harmonies its really something else! At 2:33 we get a heavy dose of rock b/c of that HYPERactive bass! I admit I dont like this new feel as much, but its pretty fun! I enjoy the modified notes (such as in the bass) in the refrain the next time around. Honestly, the electric guitar melodies at 3:31 fall a bit flat. At 5:53 we get those lovely voice samples again, but it quickly leads into a quick path into the ending (which is apparently the victory music), my favorite part of the whole thing! The only problem is that Im not sure if this should count as part of it! In the end I decided to exclude it, as its really not part of it, and Isoleucine didnt have its own ending attached to it when it competed. But I already wrote some notes on this and I dont feel like deleting them! We got those same sounds used for those 16th notes patterns, but now theyre 8th notes. Mmm, and the same bass and stuff as before. But yeah, at this slower tempo the atmosphere gets milked to the fullest extent! The harmonies here are really nice, too. Also, the subdued electric guitar is DEFINITELY the best use of the instrument, right here...REALLY great nuances in it. And when the voice samples get put on top of it with the same melody as before, OMG!!! The hair on my arms get raised everytime I hear that. Wow, what a way to make this piece wind down! Seriously, the ending section is a 9.5+/10! Ive listened to quite a bit of the 13 Sentinels soundtrack, and its excellent! I ought to listen to more basiscape music, though. --- "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:947788479] in Haste2 ran...
