Haste_2 12/11/20 11:57:56 PM #477:	40) G-Darius Kimera II https://youtu.be/MC62uO7hPto Composer: Hisayoshi Ogura Score: 9.0/10 (Amazing) VGMC History: VGMC 3 (Lost R3), VGMC 4 (Lost R5 to Dark Cloud Main Theme) Favorite Part: The first minute I initially didnt like it very much because of how incredibly STRANGE and quirky it was, but its grown on me a LOT. I cant believe Dark Cloud beat this. Dungeon-like atmosphere, yet its beautiful at the same time. This very well be the most unique music of all the retirees. I love those low-pitched percussion instruments that sound almost like growls. The first minute alone is enough to satisfy my unique music curiosity. Bubbly beginning, a very awesome set of percussion from the get-go, along with some very weird melodic and percussive fragments going on everywhere (and the timing of these is very tasteful), except that these things actually unify the whole track. The low sustained synths are perfect. SUCH an artistic use of sounds. An operatic female voice starts off fragmented, as well, but then it flat out takes the lead a little later (and it works GREAT combined with that synth). 1:30s syncopated thing is awesome. Pop-style singing/chords/echoes used in very interesting ways. 2:04 gets calmer while re-using some of the same sounds, but violins are added. Some of the main theme enters really quietly at 3:08 just before the loop finishes neat! Oh, theres actually some new stuff around the 5:00 mark thats really nice, too--funny how I assumed otherwise for SO LONG. All-in-all, its amazing that we had a gem such as this on the PS1. Its probably my favorite theme from this game, well, either that or H.G. Virus. But from the same series, I am in LOVE (moreso) with Suite Photoconductivity ~Third Tune: Bolt and Sword~ , which unfortunately lost R1 last contest, but it didnt do too bad in retrospect. Only 8 net votes behind GOSU. But it absolutely blows me away, so here it is again or your listening pleasure. https://youtu.be/w9Pho3INsN8 39) Super Mario Galaxy - Floater Land/Buoy Base Galaxy Series ranking: 1 of 4 https://youtu.be/fE0Thp3wjXU Composer: Mahito Yokota Score: 9.0/10 (Amazing) VGMC History: VGMC 2 (Lost R7 to Dragon Roost Island) Favorite Part: https://youtu.be/fE0Thp3wjXU?t=34 SMGs soundtrack :). I love the epic orchestral style of the OST in general (it was a good idea to get a new principal composer, though Koji did have a few works in it), and this track showcases it in spades. Im a sucker for live orchestra, really, especially if brass gets featured! But Im also really into spacey sounds at the start. What cool triplet areggio-like figures there (outlining non-triadic harmonies), and doing a major/minor thing near the end the intro is fun, too! The piano bass really fills out the atmosphere without drawing attention to itself. I the brass writing is GREAT. For example, I like how the melody is an octave above the top of the chords below. As for the main theme, its rhythmic structure works nicely it has a kind of militaristic march feel, but also dramatic! I like some of the melodic note choices (both b-ii and nat-ii get used). It goes to a cool spacey sound again at about 0:50, an addition that makes it sound so much like a Heroic Mario [RIP]! Then it switches to major!! Finally, that trumpet melody at would be a LOT of fun to play at 1:14, oh, and at 0:34, too.(honestly, if I had a chance to play SMG music in an orchestra it would be a dream come true). The performing orchestra is... the Mario Galaxy Orchestra...okay, so basically a studio orchestra, but even studio groups sound pristine in Japan. --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those.
