Flightless suffers from what I call "lec syndrome" in that it has moments but not nearly enough to justify being ten minutes long. EXEC_Z/. is sort of a generically enjoyable anime gust thing I'm not actually sure what to say about it but it's good
PSO thing hurts my brain a bit trying to follow the rhythms which is weird because it doesn't feel noticeably more prog than other things but it's very cool regardless. Labyrinth song is fine but not really my thing
Meaning of Birth is like... I can't tell if it's a battle theme or a victory theme or what but it's somehow too cheesy even for me (or more likely the wrong type of cheese). meanwhile we have "gust impersonating falcom" which is still a yes

My bad, I could have sworn Star was only in one of the game/song titles.

Yes, I meant that Phantasy Star game with the gibberish song title.

star doesn't appear in the other game/song title so it was pretty clear to me personally, but i guess i can also see how it'd leave someone confused since usually you go by song titles and it's not even the first word in the game title

More importantly, it's understood that we vote by the song. Therefore the song title needs to be present.

How am I supposed to have weird, semi-coherent one-word votes if people push in songs with gibberish song titles!?

oh yeah that's a good point i forgot even though i'd react to that if it was anyone else typing only the game title in a normal format.

also GUERRANT-OFENZA-SUPRONT-UNNE translates to WAR-OFFENSE-SUPRONT-ONE from Corsican apparently

Corsican? Corsica has its own language?

-exec_z kinda sounds like an insert song for a sci-fi anime from the turn of the century. honestly that kinda works with me. maybe a dogfight featuring mechs or something
-I think the initial vibe of flightless is pretty cool-- the sound of sirens give off an isolated feeling, eyes cast in fear at the skies, while the glitch and stutter elements (which kinda remind me of super oriental insomniac) suggest some sort of cyberpunk hellscape. I think the track could have dug out a nice niche in that vein-- atmospheric and tense-- but the nine minutes of music that follow feel like the intention was for something a bit more sprawling and grand? but for its all of its ambitions it rarely feels musically adventurous, the transitions between sections can feel clumsy, and it never really recaptures the sharpness of feeling of that intro. instead of feeling grand, it feels unfocused; instead of adventurous it feels well-worn. that said I kinda like 2:54's brief interlude, and I think 6:37 comes closest to getting back to a genuinely unsettling vibe.

-this feels like one of the fastest-paced tracks in the contest, even though tempo-wise it might not be (not sure). Horita goes pretty all-out here and it's great stuff. pso vol.7 is full of this somewhat celtic-feel forest-y instrumentation which is right in my wheelhouse. cool shifty chords (1:11! 1:34!! etc.) and a few neat switches to 7/8. quality track would listen to again
-dreamy somnom labyrinth has a cool vibe and I enjoy it mostly based on that vibe; the composition underneath feels like it has some shimomura musical tropes that feel a bit tired to me but I guess that means it suits this track HEH

-meaning of birth does that thing (one of the first vgmc tracks I remember thinking this thing about!) I've pointed out as a peeve in the past-- instrumental versions of heavily vocal-centric tracks that simply replace the voice with an instrument and don't really change much of the arrangement to cover for what feels like the gaping hole the lack of vocals leaves behind. not really into it
-flash frost is okay but I remember significantly preferring another track in its path to retirement (scars of fauna apparently which lost by one vote to flash frost in round 1 and then came back this year to take out imbrium DAMN IT FLASH FROST YOU STARTED THIS SEQUENCE OF EVENTS) anyway yeah high energy and I like the guitar section at 0:31 but a bit rote melodically and I feel like I wrote this exact writeup two years ago.
