Haste_2 01/23/21 11:55:50 PM #36:	9) Pop'n Music 20 Fantasia - Shonen wa Sora wo Tadoru Ranking among Retirees: 19.25 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YO2z-VmrKyo Nominator: @banshiryuu, @deogenerate (supporters: Toxtricity, UF8) Composer: Power of Nature Score: 9.5/10 (Phenomenal) Favorite part: https://youtu.be/YO2z-VmrKyo?t=20 VGMC History: VGMC 13 (DEFEATED linkage-alter, LOST R2 to An Ill Omen) AKA Murakumo. Ahhhh, more complex music. Always makes for difficult and time-consuming write-ups! (but theyre more fun to do) (Actually not as hard as some others.) But at least this is only two minutes long! However, there is SO MUCH crammed into two minutes, its breathtaking! Hyperactive and light edm is my style, too! Happy, bittersweet, and even a little bit emotional! Starts with a tasteful whispered HI as if shes warmly welcoming us ;) and a with really fast melody, and this theme has LOTS of that kind of that kind of thing, yay! Very ambiguous tonality at the start before it stabilizes at :08, but it only gets CRAZIER in other ways from there, as in 11/8, 10/8, 11/8, 7/4, 7/4, 4/4 x6, 2/4, 4/4 x3, 2/4, 4/4 x3, 5/4, 4/4 x4, 4/4 x3, 2/4, 7/4 x3, 4/4!!! (I always wanted to do that!!! =D Just ONCE!!! Toxtricity) The feelings the music communicates at 0:21 is just...ahhh, so bittersweet!!! ESPECIALLY that 9th interval just a hair before 0:24! And then underneath the beautiful theme you got this soft, but raging countermelody AND as polymetrics provided by the soft mallet percussion on top. Fun. After about 0:50 the meter is mostly 4/4, but the craziness continues such a weird atonal thing at 0:54. Also, crazy rhythms such as at 0:57 and 1:03-1:04 are based on 32nd note syncopation so its hard to make sense of it unless you slow it way down, but its nifty, nonetheless I havent noticed that sort of thing often, but that kind of syncopation is done in RE:UNION -Duo Blade Against-, an underrated Deemo favorite of mine. (Lots of good Deemo music out there, especially since the OST is ridiculously huge) 1:05 the bass lick insertion is just...aw, yeah. The second half isnt crazy as the first, but it winds down really nicely. Anyway, its really fun music to delve into and after doing this write-up I have a much better feel for the music really, really great stuff. Why does Starry Heavens have to autoplay after this? ~_~ 8) beatmania IIDX 24 SINOBUZ - Dornwald ~Junge~ Ranking among Retirees: 19.125 https://youtu.be/jpZ6jwPP8iA Nominator: @Mac Arrowny (supporters: Baconus_Yum, banshiryuu, Raetsel_Lapin) Composer: DJ Totto Score: 9.5/10 (Phenomenal) Favorite part: https://youtu.be/jpZ6jwPP8iA?t=13 VGMC History: VGMC 13 (DEFEATED Destiny (Yakuza 6), LOST R2 to Id ~ Purpose) Ahhh, DJ Totto. Super suspenseful and dark edm. Intro is so awesome (actually, not really an intro, as this idea keeps coming back). You got classical-sounding chorus singing (great harmonizing in there) like its a requiem (sounds like Latin or something; if so, thats suitable). A slow melody, but the piano gets involved and the harmony changes every beat OH MAN, I love how the piano extends the end of the phrase by arpeggiating way up high and back down. SUSPENSEFUL. (sorry no better word came to mind) And that leads into one my FAVORITE part of the whole thing. Choir is still powerfully going repetitiously, Dies-Irae style with its slow quarters. And the piano is going NUTS playing ridiculously fast, strange whole tone-ish patterns (and 4ths) that doesnt seem to fit the key at ALL but somehow it just works. I WISH I HAD A KEYBOARD so I could play it by ear (not to boast or anything. I had slow it WAY down to hear all the notes), cause it would be SO FUN to play :) :). (probably dont have quite the dexterity, though maybe using two hands would help) I LOVE repetitive odd tonal ideas like that, AHHHHHHHH!!!! INCREDIBLY intense and serious Love how the edm rhythms wait a bit before joining in there, too. 0:36 it kind of goes back to the starting material, but its kind of a reprieve from the intense previous stuff now instead of trying to buildup the addition of strings is great. 0:47 piano goes back to those insanely fast stuff moving ALL over the range of the instrument. Then the piano and edm rhythm section does these INTENSE falling triplet chords with lots of reverb and the strings are going wild now at 1:07 once again, insane darktense and its practically running the GAMUT in terms of keys very fun! Fast piano at 1:24 that make SUCH an amazing transition between sections. As it finishes it kind of mirrors the beginning, dropping back down to nothing. --- "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:949849049] in Haste2 ran...
