Another unexpected musical culture from p0. I love all the dramatic musical flourishes; the vocals took some getting used to but I like them too! They feel like soaring through the sky. This song does the dreaded KEY CHANGE and I still liked it. This one is probably also in the probably wont listen to this willingly but I appreciate it category, but its too engaging when I listen to it for that to be a detriment. 109/2748 @DanKirby Ys III: Wanderers from Ys (PC Engine CD) - Seal of Time https://youtu.be/Cw1tERqrqnI Ive always liked the Ys 3 soundtrack, particularly the PC Engine CD version, which takes an already fabulous song and enhances it with top-quality production and mixing. Theres this weird little discordant note run at the start of the loop that reminds me of jazz fusion somehow; I dont recall hearing that in any other version. I also love the keyboard solo at 1:50. But yeah, solid melody, excellent 90s production. 108/2745 @failgirlema Mawaskes - BGM#07 https://youtu.be/fUmc2te5-gk A comment on this video says The synths say house but the beat says new jack swing! and thats a very apt description. At first I wasnt too into the samples, but they really grew on me. The whole thing is structured like an ensemble piece, with sudden trumpet! And tap shoes! And some sprightly bass work. I could see this being performed in a jazz club. 107/2742 @Place Epic Loon - Even in the Carpathians, taking a train is still faster than riding a ghoul https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9hF0okYl3o This was among the most challenging songs to rank. The first time I listened to it I had no idea where to place it (no pun intended). It was eerily captivating but I wasnt super into it. Subsequent relistens helped me hone in on the placement. Its a complicated song with what I referred to in my notes as demented ass polymeter and gunshot sounds and a total tone change at 1:40 and some additional Eastern European music vibes. I think Im most into the part at 3:15, which gets big and symphonic and adds a weird horn instrument into the mix. I respect this songs steadfast refusal to be categorized! Live your truth, Even in the Carpathians, taking a train is still faster than riding a ghoul. 106/2717 @MargaretAnnMid Suikoden III - Mysterious People https://youtu.be/NbvfyzDSfH4?si=_rYxLCLNLV2gSf2X Very soothing in that trademark Suikoden way. Nice string and woodwind samples. I dont have a lot to say about this one its simply a song that accomplishes its goal in a wonderfully succinct package. This is one Ill probably come back to again a few times. Thanks! FYI, this song went up from 6 all the way to a 7.5 on the relisten. Relistens can make dreams come true! <cite>rwlh posted [p:979387004] in I rank 300...
