rwlh 03/16/24 7:42:34 PM #327:	95/2494 @TunnelScene The Magic School Bus Explores the Solar System - Music of the Spheres (Custom Mix) unknown composer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D46P1maMTNE TunnelScene was kind enough to make a seamless mix of various snippets from this game, turning what could have been a mishmash of musical ideas into something cohesive and coherent. Their upload description says: Music of the Spheres is a minigame with an interactive soundtrack, featuring short loops that can turn into fuller layered music with your actions. This is an attempt to showcase all possible segments in a way that feels like a single cohesive piece of music, while still simulating the clunky jittery experience of scrolling through the options occasionally. Ironically, despite containing easily the longest amount of music in the game (~40% of this game's music data is for this), this minigame is somewhat hidden and often missed by people playing this game. I really like the deep bass throughout, and the bright electric squirrely noises at 1:30 are welcome. Later on there are breathing noises, a sprightly percussive melody, and some nice volume mixing throughout (I wonder if that was added by TunnelScene or was already present?). 94/2408 @Haste_2 Occultic;Nine - THE MUTUAL FORCE Takeshi Abo https://youtu.be/d6aX_FuVRWM?si=s_9DTs3xyaUqgHLN This is some nice electronic ambience that reminds me of Danganronpa, despite not being composed by Takada this time! The layering of different musical elements is handled very nicely here; it feels like theres always something new to latch onto. Ive commented in many writeups about my love of spacey stuff and while THE MUTUAL FORCE doesnt lean into that aesthetic as hard as some of the other nominations, it still conjures up a feeling of looking up at the sky and reflecting on the future. 93/2394 @bebr117 Cytus - The Ricochet Sta https://youtu.be/xq41yQAisaM?si=IrJGXuoiBFQt1dJM If The Ricochet played more with the melody at 0:20, it might have been as high as a 9. That brief melody is so strong that it bypasses some of the other musical elements in the song that I find less interesting: the wubs, choppy textures, etc. Its not like I dislike The Ricochet, but that melody is very clearly the selling point for me, and if it were more present Id like it a lot more. Alas, we must take what were given! 92/2359 @OrangeCrush980 Yakuza Kiwami - Virtical Point Hidenori Shoji https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kc0Q9sfbhwg Virtical Point is the highest ranked of the four Yakuza nominations. Its nothing like the others maybe this is why it ranked so high? Its a menacingly paced EDM juggernaut that feels more akin to a nightclub brawl than a late night karaoke fest. Virtical Point has the distinction of probably climbing the highest in rating from the initial listen originally it was like a 3? I know Hidenori Shoji primarily from his work on F-Zero GX, and this feels like a different application of that compositional skill. 91/2298 @Place Humanity - Intersect Jemapur https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOd4LDvkz-s This feels like a song that started as an experiment: lets do a song on keyboards, but the melody will be slightly off, and then well see where it goes from there. Intersect has a loose, improvisational feel, between the keyboards and the other strange, almost bird call-like instruments. Its truly unique. I found this song difficult to conceptualize at first; it took another listen for me to find my footing with it, and Im happy to have experienced it. <cite>rwlh posted [p:979405903] in I rank 300...
