Its so groovy and funky. I love the rhythm and the bass, theres a soaring, airy melody, and that vocal sample of JAMMIN TO THE PUNK DA FUNK or whatever the hell hes saying. Plus its a notably longer loop, over four minutes, and as Ive stated before I really gravitate toward those songs. Ive loved every 9 so far, but this feels like an obvious escalation in how much I love the songs. 13/333 @sergiocornaga Wario Land 4 - Tomorrow's Blood Pressure Ryoji Yoshitomi https://youtu.be/XJNwFIMI_HY Up next on Is This Even a Song?, we have Tomorrows Blood Pressure, a piece of audio which is literally nothing but industrial/factory noises. Pistons, buzzing, and a weird swirling effect. Like thats all it is. or is it? Ive said it again and again but I like industrial noises in music, and you all really came through on that. Tomorrows Blood Pressure is the natural, maximum extension of that love. There is no melody, no notes. A clanking rhythm is permeates every second. Stuff happens there is certainly stuff happening, though whether there is progression in a traditional sense, that I cannot say. Whatever this is, I greatly enjoyed it. I also enjoyed the sheer audacity of giving this to me in the first place. Id expect nothing less from sergio 12/329 @FL81 Path of the Abyss - Lightning Strike - - hasu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmIZdpzASOc I dont know what this game is or where it came from, but it got two 9s and almost made the top ten twice. This is delicious FM synth. So tangibly moist and succulent, I can practically taste it. Where Tribal Hunter - Dance of Wind (#17) evoked a sense of physicality in me, Lightning Strikes evokes tactile sensations. I can perceive this song in an immediate and tangible way in a way I cant do with other music. The instrumentation is a huge part, but also the melody is very compelling too. The whole song brims with intensity. Its a rare thing to find in music but of course, I found it again, with a different song from the same game O_O #ToBeContinued 11/250 @DanKirby Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards - Factory Inspection Jun Ishikawa https://youtu.be/HCIMHn5FEYQ Factory Inspection is one of two 9+ nominations I already knew, but never added to the sheet. This was a great pick from DanKirby. Its got everything I could want in a song: clanking, offkey piano, weird trumpets, bells in the background, those Nintendo 64 sound sample hits. Despite its musical chops, I dont often think of the Kirby series (which also has one more song left! Jesus) in the same breath as other renowned vgm series, but Factory Inspection is an all-timer. Thanks for reminding me of how much I like it! - ELIMINATION 12/59: Collen Average rating: 8 Average ranking: 1598 Your lucky song: Chroma Squad - Monster Jam https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3V3j1cgEnQ ELIMINATION 11/59: sergiocornaga Average rating: 7.2 Average ranking: 2920 Your lucky song: Super Mario Odyssey - Bowser's Castle 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rbRYsv4jY4 The song directly above your lucky song: Final Fantasy XIII-2 - Yeul's Theme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdoE53_b5Fk 10th PLACE: DanKirby Average rating: 7.2 Average ranking: 2947 Your lucky song: Where the Water Tastes Like Wine - Miles of Smiles https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHg0qKpg5zU Thank you all for nominating! ...
