Haste_2 12/17/20 11:09:02 PM #479:	I certainly agree that there are multiple Galaxy tracks worthy of retiring. I admit I haven't heard the soundtrack in a long time (nor played the game, though I think I bought it used a couple of years ago....?), and I never really fully digested it. But I can say I absolutely love Gusty Garden Galaxy! Confession: to be frank, Kimera II and Floater Land really should have been an 8.9. But now we're truly in the 9.0+ territory now! Before moving on to #38, though.... ELIMININATED: VGMC 4 (fourth elimination) 1) G-Darius - Kimera II 2) Gran Turismo 2 - Moon over the Castle 3) Napple Tale: Arsia in Daydream - Wild Wind 4) Super Robot Wars Alpha 3 - Trombe! 5) Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru - discolor 6) Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII - The Price of Freedom 7) Grandia II - FIGHT!! Ver. 4 ~ The Final Battle 8) Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal - Ratchet & Courtney Battle 9) NieR - Shadowlord 10) Umineko no Naku Koro ni Anime - Happiness of Marionette 11) Sonic 3D (Saturn) - Rusty Ruin Zone Act 2 12) Ragnarok Online 2: Legend of The Second - Din Don Dan Dan Fo 13) Umineko no Naku Koro ni - Hope 14) Barkley, Shut up and Jam Gaiden - Johnathan Taylor Thomas 15) The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC - Silver Will (Super Arrange) 16) Dark Cloud - Dark Cloud Main Theme Average ranking: 115.9 Average rating: 7.84 Note that Silver Will was revised upwards a bunch. 38) Atelier Ayesha - Yesterday's Opponents are Today's Ingredients Series ranking: 4 of 5 https://youtu.be/aPuaHfnZ9D0 Composer: Kazuki Yanagawa Score: 9.0/10 (Amazing) VGMC History: VGMC 8 (Lost R4), VGMC 11 (Lost R3), VGMC 13 (Lost R5 to Invitation Flower ~ Autumn) Favorite Part: The first 30ish seconds Yay for intense battle themes! The second of the three retired Ayesha theme falls! Melody-wise its pretty simple, but theres a lot of added complexity. The first melody itself is intriguing.its so wicked intense, barbaric with how the guitar sounds. It sharpens one of the notes creating a sort of chromatic neighboring effect for extra tension. Then a grand pause! Then repeat. Brilliant! Odd little "percussive" effects add to that tension. That reverse piano effect is awesome the way it leads into a louder section. We got some cool hemiola string patterns added as it moves to moves to relative iv just like a blues tune! Once again, cool note choices outside the minor scale, too! I cant forget to mention those RIDICULOUSLY awesome piano ideas between each phrase around here, too...! Then at enters a relatively tame melody at 0:24 in yet another key before it finally moves back to the tonic again. From there both ideas get expanded upon. Melody 1 gets played in 4ths now at 0:48, cool. Gotta mention again between every phrase when theme #1 plays is some BRAND NEW effect be it accordian, guitar, etc! I really enjoy the sudden change to the serene piano before it finally climaxes (with instrumentation at its fullest) to the very end of the loopeverything just kinda comes together at the end. .gotta love those odd chalkboard scratching sounds at 1:47, too. >_> Overall, we got some solid artistry of sounds with only a few simple ideas. --- "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:948471324] in Haste2 ran...
