rwlh 03/20/24 7:50:35 PM #371: | Last five for the night - sorry for all the writeups, I'll explain why after this! - 55/1613 @Disillusion Rose Guns Days - Seedy Prayer xaki https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7TjJb8ci8A EVIL JAZZ lets go. That horn is cutting a wide swath of terror across the whole song, buffeted along by the drumwork. This doesnt quite feel like a live recording, yet everything works together to create a dense, oppressive sense of sound. I didnt realize this was xaki at first but I can hear some of his compositional hallmarks on closer notice. 54/1608 @Tked ESPKetsuda - Stage 4 trap15 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfOixtwcW2M This is another qualifier for weirdest song in the ranking. My understanding is this is a mixture of the soundtracks for ESPGaluda and Ketsuibut that doesnt account for how off-key everything sounds. I honestly thought this was corrupted audio at first, and I still sort of think that. My initial note for this was turn off the alarm Mom, youre drunk, which I stand by. This song is an assault. I love that. 53/1582 @UF8 Karaoke JOYSOUND - Watashi Ronri Kanzakiiori arr. HIdeki Ataka https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6wEJLnNxMs I love this vtubers voice. Its very smoky. She sounds like shes just run up a flight of stairs! It melds perfectly with the rest of the song, which is another lonely/wistful vtuber experience (its even in the title). I enjoy the little bits of English she peppers (dont stop, lets go, baby youre number one). I think I genuinely enjoy the little genre of songs that sound like walking down a city street at night, alone, thinking about how Id rather be anywhere else, and nowhere else, at the same time. 52/1425 @handsomeboy2012 Old School Runescape - The Militia Adam Bond https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxdCXJxGwJ8 These Runescape songs were a nice surprise, particularly this one, which goes beyond the standard tinny MIDI sound (not that theres anything wrong with that) and coalesces into something a bit more epic sounding. A grand, sweeping melody, with flourishes like big timpani samples and string samples. The whole thing really comes together, particularly the end, with an extended outro. Really cool, thanks for sharing! 51/1395 @xx521xx Bomberman Tournament - Dungeon Koichi Seiyama https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTMqmG6tr_c Pretty simple melody, and a very effective use of the Game Boy Advance soundchip. Ive said before that GBA samples can be hit-or-miss for me, but this track nails it. Theres even gasp a key change that I didnt dislike (maybe because it comes in the middle of the loop and not at the end?). I always like discovering new Bomberman music, so this was a nice find. ...
