rwlh 03/20/24 4:06:28 PM #364:	65/1859 @tgs2 Friday Night Funkin' Vs. Ace - Noreaster Kamex https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WAkEqKhO3A A super chill FNF song, way chiller than the other FNF noms for sure. I like the Ace songs Ive heard; Ace has nice vocals that mesh well with Boyfriends. The backing is also nicely downtempo. Unlike other fast-paced FNF songs, this feels less like a battle and more like a conversation. Why cant we just talk it out, everybody? 64/1840 @Isquen Metroid Prime 2: Echoes - Torvus Bog Kenji Yamamoto https://youtu.be/Eo_09MsIVno Torvus Bog uses some of the niftier Metroid Prime sounds I can hear Tallon Overworld mixed in a few places. The song is mostly nice ambience combined with a few parts that legit give me chills. 2:15 is especially great with how it switches to a slightly different melody. More than most other nominations this is what Id call background music, but theres nothing wrong with that at all. Ive put this on a few times already as Ive done other things and its always enhanced the experience. 63/1815 @Snake5555555555 Resident Evil 4 - Regenerador Shusaku Uchiyama, Misao Senbongi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x36KdrjIio4 Now we get into some spooky/evil horror ambience. I tend to like this stuff significantly more than the average person here! This is a super short song, just under a minute, but its very effective at conveying a mood. The dull clangs and panning create a sense of claustrophobia. There isnt any melody to speak of; the effect is dizzying, like something unknown and horrible could happen to you at any moment. Thats good horror ambience! 62/1795 DeviDoesNothing Sonic Rush - Bomber Barbara Hideki Naganuma https://youtu.be/L4KIxqTYGGI This is the only Sonic Rush nomination I didnt know before, and its quite the treat! Naganumas sample mastery is on full display; I dont know what any of the vocal clips are saying but they add an energy to the mix thats just off enough to make the rest of the song uneasy. This feels like the theme for a final stage of some sort. 61/1774 @Place Gunmetal - Nataflbrqzka Keith Gillard, Craig Joseph Huxtable https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAxqE0Xp9Ok This is in contention for weirdest song of the ranking. I said that before, sort of, but its true here too (more than one song can be in contention!). It starts out relatively conventional, with a funky groove, but there are these long stutters and a huge burst of feedback starting at 2:05. Then at 2:30 it completely changes! Now its like being played backwards or some shit. Then at 2:55 its totally different again. Now it fully embraces its weirdness. Theres overt glitchiness and high-pitched beeping and all sorts of things that the average listener might find unpleasant. All throughout Im kept on my toes, wondering whats going to happen next. Its an experience only a few songs have managed to simulate for me in this ranking, so even though its just shy of the top 60, I have to salute it. <cite>rwlh posted [p:979472440] in I rank 300...
