Haste_2 01/17/21 12:23:02 AM #498:	I forgot the link to The Moon: https://youtu.be/KF32DRg9opA ...This will take you to the moon, literally! 27) GITADORA OverDrive - Douwa Kairou Series ranking: 2 of 6 (bemani) https://youtu.be/IEhGUmXcG2Y Composer: DJ Totto Prelim score: 9.7/10 Score: 9.3/10 (Amazing) VGMC History: VGMC 13 (Lost R5 to Innocence and Emptiness) Favorite Part: https://youtu.be/IEhGUmXcG2Y?t=50 Not the most complex music around, but this music is so HAPPY!!! Its perfect to play if you win the state basketball championship or something! :) :) :) I cant get over how it makes me FEEEEEEEELLLL!!!!! DJ Totto does such unique things with seemingly ordinary harmonies! Guitar is really adventurous too so it reminds me of prog in that sense. Okay, now to talk about the details of the music. Starts off with a DELIGHTFUL unique harmony (love how it goes from major to minor to major), with an extremely natural 5/4 meter, too,... for quite some time I didnt even notice it. Joyful, but subdued piano theme doing arpeggiated stuff that modifies just enough to fit the neat harmonies (I LOVE stuff like that) , crazy guitar stuff, and then it suddenly drops back to calmness again with a WONDERFULLY placed bII with a 4th at 0:20. Then the main theme comes in so JOYFULLY in a 6/4 for example, when the melody descends from the climax its minor because it hits the major-sounding leading tone!! Great use of nat-VI at 0:27 that only maintains that feeling. ;) Back to the main melody at but a bit little modified and comes in at 0:53 before the phrase is supposed to end...just one of many tasteful details in this track! LOVE the major-sounding end to the phrase there partly because DJ Totto decides to stick a nat-VI between the b-VI and bVII before it resolves (1:01 - 1:04)! The next part at 1:05, the harmonies start losing some stability here, and the bass does cool chromatic movements there. Interesting that the final chord is used to modulate to B-flat. The guitar continues to have fun, including some virtuosic stuff starting at 1:34!! All this time its in the key of B-flat still, but then at the last moment it decides to refer back to the home key with one final ambiguous chord the way the guitar and piano do that at the end is SO tasteful!!! WOW. DJ Totto is awesome~! (and this is not the last time youll see music from this artist in this topic, even if this is the only retiree by DJ Totto) 26) Ar tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica - The Second Tower Series ranking: 3 of 6 https://youtu.be/HxgnX8ulK-g Composer: Ken Nakagawa Prelim score: 9.0/10 Score: 9.3/10 (Amazing) VGMC History: VGMC 2 (Lost R5 to MGS2 theme) Favorite Part: All of it. I keep forgetting that Exa Pico has been known among the vgm community almost as long as the contests have been going. Im guessing this plays near the beginning of the game? (turns out its early in the OST, so thats probably correct) Absolutely everything in this is beautiful~ and folksy~!! Nature and magic. So many little details in this it is STAGGERING.... Starts off with rain drops in an echoey chamber then cool whispering/electronic sounds combining artistically (kind of imitating a radio broadcast?), culminating in Ar Tonelico!!! Well, now I know Ive been pronouncing the games name correctly! Ahhhh. Then you got the flute marking the breaking of dawn! Man, the scoops and mordents the flute does are SO TASTEFUL. Makes me want to learn wooden flute. Nice supporting sounds there, like the synth pads, the way they emerge and taper so gently! The VI7 chord at 0:40 might be my favorite bit there! More weird whispering at 0:58 , but it just WORKS for whatever reason. 1:10 got that nice light xylophone and ocean waves! 1:18 the pan flute sounds so primitive, the way its slightly out of tune. The 1:26 melody is absolute GOLD. such a sweet sound! The sitars countermelody bits make this MAGICAL, to with its reverberating brilliance and non-triadic note choices! Melodious chorus after that!! (exclamation, exclamation, exclamation) Beautiful rattles at 2:18, etc. At 3:06 this section is full of neat subtleties soft horns, piano, harp, and electronic sounds everywhere. It becomes more ambient at 3:36 Choir synth ideas separated by light xylophone off-beat patterns (WOW!). Even at the very end when you think there's nothing new you get some french horns added (4:26). --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So... what is a party?"
