Found Painting Trials and Tribulations (kannan) Set You Free If Peggle 2 isn't real, why is there music from it? If a painting is lost, why is it so famous? If it's a weapon factory, why are there no sword sound effects? If the kan'nan was so shinku, why couldn't it be translated? If the wind were a sword, why is my mood so foul? If this shtick is entertaining, why am I so eager to be free? i dunno yesterday's results made me sad and there just isn't anything here to make me happy.

I forgot to mention... I'm excited to see Super Mario RPG in a contest match for the first time since VGMC 4! And was happy to be able to vote for it, too. It's my favorite in the game aside from maybe the Culex battle theme, but that's a remix from another game. --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So... what is a party?"

Gnorman's Theme KANNANSHINKU Shushi ~ Set You Free Oh my god I just learned in the last hour how much of a landmark Peggle 2 is in interactive game audio. Guy Whitmore composed gameplay tracks for each of the five characters based on a classical piece (1812 Overture for Gnorman), but they actually comprise 7 distinct sections that transition based on # of remaining pegs. Look at this madness! https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/2/1/0/AAVhdjAAEfKS.jpg The peg sounds are in key too! They have to keep track of exactly when the music has changed to a new key!! Gnorman's Theme is the longest on the soundtrack, I believe these are the sections in the song: 1 0:10 2 1:04 3 1:59 4 2:47 5 3:44 6 4:24 7 5:11 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tm0ngIDrPQA&t=1227s You can hear them in action here at: 1 20:27 2 20:58 3 21:19 4 21:31 5 21:50 6 22:05 7 22:39 Also the intro is actually the game over theme (10:17 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9Pip6XNULQ&t=617s) More articles and Whitmore's GDC talk: https://www.audiogang.org/peggle-2-storytelling-through-adaptive-music/ https://www.audiogang.org/peggle2-sonic-joy/ https://www.gdcvault.com/play/1020369/Peggle-2-Live-Orchestra-Meets He appears in Beep: A Documentary History of Game Sound with Peggle 2 distinctly in the background, I think he's really proud of what he made :) https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/2/1/1/AAVhdjAAEfKT.jpg --- -Abraham Lincoln ...

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night - Lost Painting Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars - Weapons Factory Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim - Windslash Steps MATCH 1 Gnorman's Theme is very whimsical and playful. Sort of reminiscent of a Kevin MacLeod song. I like it how suddenly gets very dramatic at 3:44. Lost Painting is pretty meh. But despite what I said about it above, I don't really like its opponent either, and it's good enough for me to take here, so it gets my vote. MATCH 2 I seem to like it when songs evoke a feeling that I perceive as being representative of the area or theme or whatever that the song is being composed for. What I mean by that here with Weapons Factory is that I get an industrial vibe to this song that's fitting for an area like a weapons factory, and I think that's pretty cool. You have these noises in the background that sound like hammers striking metal, and even the snares feel like something like ratchets. That one grimy synth in the beginning is pretty cool too. And I really like the part at 1:10 where it calms down momentarily before picking back up at its original intensity again. KANNANSHINKU is pretty cool too with a pretty harmonious sound altogether between the vocals and the synths and other instruments. Solid enough melody too. This match is a little bit close, but not as much as match 3. MATCH 3 I really like the organ part of Windslash Steps at 0:14. The rest of the song's pretty cool too. Shushi is really cool too. I like the mix of vocals and piano here. Very tough match. I could see myself flipping on this.

Lost Painting KANNANSHINKU Windslash Steps The start of Gnorman is so bad. It gets better, but I never like it. I've always been a fan of Lost Painting, though a bit of the sheen's worn off after 20+ years. Weapons Factory is okay I guess? There are several SMRPG songs I like more. KANNANSHINKU is one of the more appealing Dariusburst songs for me. Weird having Windslash in this contest after playing Ys 6 so recently. It's good, though. Shushi's a bit slow for a rhythm game song. I feel like the singing holds it back.

Gnorman's Theme Weapons Factory Shushi ~ Set You Free gnorman's theme is fucking amazing idc why this is a """meme""" pick because peggle 2 being a meme of a game but idc. its fun and whimsical and cute. GNORMAN, SUPREMACY BABY. lost painting is good but like as a "mood" piece and not as something id readily vote for. it's fantastic for putting me into certain moods and shit, but it doesn't really stand out. the smash version i could see myself voting for over gnorman's theme. that shit is fuego. match two is awful wtf i like both songs though so there's no fuss if i don't pick the winner. weapons factory edges out a bit more for being my thing specially. it really isn't all too complex or whatever, but the specific "factory machinery" sound is something that i always look for on an ost. i was mildly disappointed in windslash steps because ys 6 is "different" falcom music and i like the different stuff better (GURUMIN SUPREMACY!!!) but it wasn't bad. shushi is a bit more my thing. it took a bit for me to enjoy this style of singing, but this is my fourth or fifth time with this song. instrumentals definitely carry it for me. ...
