long time fan of shining queen. can't decide whether I like this version or the yasuhisa watanabe remix in puchi carat more. but one big plus of this version is that looping crystalline sample at the very start. just feels so much like a SHINY GEM in Egypt anime puzzle world. and the sharp cutoff every time it loops is so stylish and viscerally funky. what a great game, a huge fan of it. it was one of my early gateway drugs into zuntata and now im addicted to that set of musicians more than anything
I always associate Hungary with quite intense music
jenova descending beeps is always pretty nice
this appealed to me more than I expected. even if it's just 4/4 it dances around rigidity quite a bit in just the unexpected over-the-barline angular 3+5 way its grouped
I don't know anything about this game but chameleons are my favorite animal for sure these days. they were riight before I joined b8 too, and I discovered this ost from getting into everything gamebop did back in 08 because of being obsessed with that entity. well anyway it gives me "2008 learning about all the things my cool friend likes" nostalgia AND "chameleons are my favorite animal" nostalgia which. is good. because I'm pretending its 2006-8 again because I was happiest then and by pretending it's those years I'm happiest now too
I think I basically got into this track because of seeing Evan Marien do a great cover of it at magfest which is absolutely insane since initially I think of Evan Marien as "amazing bassist for allan holdsworth and virgil donati" but he likes vgm so this crossover can happen. thanks mitsuda. modulationcore forever. . .
