Flow [8.9]
Dance With the Shadow [8.4]

Flow is a song that has already grew on me after playing Fez, forgetting it existed for years, and then rehearing it again thanks to Supracord. I love it now, which is why I'm sad that Dance With the Shadow is also in this matchup. You don't see VGM with Spanish influence everyday, and I know a song like this could grow on me with more time spent with it.

Variations on a Ra Melody [7.8]
Beat Eat Nest [8.1]

Ra Melody sounds nice, but every time I hear Magical Chase I'm almost always expecting Waltz of Mediation Part 2 and am left a little let down when it isn't that. Beat Eat Nest, on the other hand, sounds like a weird mix between Yakuza and Mad Rat Dead to me and I'm kinda in awe of that realization.

Tree of Life: Roots [8.6]
Intuition & empty brass [8.5]

I swear, Tree of Life sounded completely different from what I remember, but it's still solid for what it is. And thankfully it is, because Intuition is literally a step away from being a Mad Rat Dead song and stealing my vote as a result in this match.

MATCH 1

Flow is pretty cool, though I find myself liking it a bit less today than I feel like I have in the past. Funny enough, despite me talking a lot about liking layered instruments, I think this is the first song in the contest where that's a clear element of the song but I don't end up liking the song as much. I guess just melodically, it's decent, but not exactly something I look for. I find myself liking the song the most when that melody at 1:30 comes in.

Dance With the Shadow is another song where I feel like I don't like it as much as I would a similar song, but it's still pretty good! The vocals are pretty nice. But like with Flow, I find myself wanting more out of this song melodically. Still, it's a pretty clear pick here.

MATCH 2

I like the intro of Variations on a Ra Melody the most! The arps really help carry the mood there. The rest of the song is cool too, but it doesn't ever reach that peak in the intro for me.

Beat Eat Nest is a pretty good song! I like the melody overall with the guitar and piano. It's no Blood Drain -Again-, but it's a solid song with no real flaws I can point out.

MATCH 3

Tree of Life: Roots is a nice song, but it doesn't stand out a whole lot to me. I can appreciate the more powerful melody at 0:56, but even then, I don't feel all that enthused listening to it, unfortunately.

I really enjoy Intuition & empty brass! The percussion really gets the blood pumping, and the melody is some good stuff as well! Very fun and catchy song to listen to.

From Toxtricity:

Flow (Fez)
Variations on a Ra Melody (Magical Chase)
Tree of Life: Roots (Pokemon Super MD)

I LOVE FEZbitcrushing makes me so happy. Thinking about it pretty much everything about this song is like pretty maximized to exactly my favorite sounds to hear at this exact moment; but might not feel that way the next moment..usually i say this is my 2nd favorite fez song but right NOW it is my 1st favorite fez song

This song seems like there would be a silly dance with it

Very few people can make music that reaches the emotional heights that the harmonic sense in hitoshi sakimotos music gives me

The melody/chords go some cool unexpected places here that i like the way that they feel

Yggdrasil

The bouncy song
