Need to make some more progress, even though it's one of those days where I can't seem to "feel" the music... on a normal day, though, this would almost surely be the one drop next, so this one is next in line!

VGMC History: VGMC 13 (LOST R1 to Devil Trigger)

Hm, this ones full of supporters that have high compatibility with me!! Yet another disappointing R1 loss here, though -_-. Harmonies are exciting throughout, typical of DJ totto. Extremely robust synths.

Love the ambiguous descending harmonies at the start, especially the last chord... The contrast between the echoey-radio chamber piano chords and the powerful synth is just....WOW! I guess part of the deal is the surprise key change (or rather the stuff before it seems to indicate a different key), but the synth duet after is just WAY too high on the excitement scale! I wish I could explain more on why Really, I'm probably But yeah, the sound is just SO energized.

The synth melody is so ADVENTUROUS with its wide range and varied rhythms, and the bIII chord at 0:20 transitioning into the dominant just makes me so happy :) :) :). Piano runs are super-fast/energized! The next melody is a lot like the opening.,.. Gotta love the response/echo by the softer synths, themselves creating reverb. Love the whistles doing their own response in the following section. 0:56 we hit the intermediary material and my favorite synth is back :) ! At 1:16 we finally get some actual material from near the start! Nice syncopated chord changes at 1:22....though most places the harmonies are nice, I dont need to mention them all.. Ill note that bVI gets done a lot, which I like!! Love how at 1:32 we get a reference back to the very beginning piano stuff with more of that soft/stat sound. Oh, hey, it finishes by FINALLY going into the key that it was implying near the start!

Overall, very VERY exciting stuff!!! DJ Totto is THE MAN!!
