Touhou 4: Lotus Land Story - Alice Maestra
Xenogears - The Wind Calls to Shevat in the Blue Sky
DoDonPachi Blissful Death Black Label Extra - Mixed Melody (Stage 4)

MATCH 1

I really like Alice Maestra! I don't have a lot of exposure to the PC-98 era Touhou songs, but songs like this show that they can do some of the same things I enjoy from the Windows era songs. Good repeating melodies and good rhythm in the drums when they pick up at parts like 2:02 are what mainly come to mind.

I think the story behind Daredevil is really cool, but unfortunately, I don't really share the view of Daredevil being that one amazing song that the game needed to make it complete. I can certainly understand why many love it with its powerful and emotional sound, but I personally don't get a lot out of it. I guess there just isn't really much of an overlap between this song and the kind of dramatic songs I tend to love.

MATCH 2

The Wind Calls to Shevat in the Blue Sky makes me feel like I'm trudging through a snowy forest. I like that soft, descending melody a lot and the backing instruments come together very nicely here to create a really pleasant mood!

Field (Late Night) has a really cool mood too! 0:46-1:31 is my favorite part. As always, layered instruments are very nice. That little jazzy part at the end is a bit unexpected, but pretty nice nonetheless.

MATCH 3

They should've named LUCID NIGHTMARE Mixed Melody because I'm more mixed on the melody than Mixed Melody! Some parts like 0:20-0:33 are good while 0:35-1:05 aren't as good. Still, I like it overall.

Mixed Melody might be my favorite discovery that I found post-nomination period! It was pretty decent, but not amazing in the beginning, but man, once 0:53 hits, it sounds like a completely different song to me! The whole song from there on out up to the loop point is absolutely wild and I love it! All the instruments hit just right, and it's a great example of the kind of prog rock sounding stuff that I really enjoy.
