Haste_2 12/17/20 11:35:58 PM #483:	What a shame my favorite VGMC 4 rep had to lose to my least favorite one. ;_; 37) Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna ~ The Golden Country - Battle!! Series ranking: 3 of 6 https://youtu.be/1weNnjzaXbY Composer: Kenji Hiramatsu Score: 9.0/10 (Amazing) VGMC History: VGMC 13 (Lost R7 to Class:EXPHERE_NOSURGE;) Favorite Part: The intro and1:11 - 1:46 Confession: I voted Despair of Elferia over this in the ToC, which gave Elferia the win by like one vote, IIRC? To think the true final should have been Battle!! Vs. EXPHERE, apparently. On to the music. I never thought such a pure jazz piece could work as a battle theme. It seems to be one of the hottest new ideas for such music! Makes me want to play XC2 so badly. (one of these days I plan to try the series) Seriously, in almost every phrase theres something interesting going on. Sounds like some kind of Latin. This uses a REAL professional jazz combo, and Im a sucker for real pro groups! To have a real pro jazz drummer, man. The intro piano line is so SWINGING, so CATCHY, especially how it leaps from the low E to the chords (and the chords are missing the E, interestingly)... I LOVE THOSE CHORDS!!! The drums come in to enhance the feel, likewise the really tasteful string bass. The violins play slow, soaring line on top, a perfect complement to the energetic rhythm section. Then the piano takes over the same idea at 0:29 BRILLIANT! What beautiful pedals! Also, 0:43 music starts moving forward, all the parts pretty much united, and then culminating in cool Latin offbeat rhythms! Wind chimes! We get a new upbeat melody at 0:54 more fun rhythms, yay. Good violin countermelodies in here. Loving those piano embellishments between 1:07 and 1:10. 1:11 brings back the first theme.but a lot of cool changes this time around! Nice bluesy string bass right off the bat to enhance the feeling. Strings have more a dramatic flare this time around. Likewise with the piano, e.g. those AWESOME patterns at 1:31. Then at 1:33/1:40 the piano does a fake tripletized delay echo!!! Cello now gets a little spotlight! The drummer has a lot of fun in the section right after. 2:31 decides to extend the second theme idea I have no qualms with that. 3:02 turns into an improv jam session. (except that, well, given the unity in certain things, it may have been planned out) Still, fun rhythm section stuff stylish string bass at 3:18. I like the chord at 3:23. Phew, okay Ive said enough. This track is awesome! --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So... what is a party?"
