From Toxtricity:
Tyrian Maze - Inner Chamber (Pokemon MD: GtI)
Ephemeral Glory B (Muramasa)
City Trial ~ City (Kirby Air Ride)

Tyrian Maze - Inner Chamber is my FAVORITE song in the pokemon series, it is just the perfect balance of all of the elements i look for in music. Both compositionally and instrumentationally. I hope it does not lose

A cone

Even though that i know that sonic music has a diverse selection of things that it has in it.;;;;it still always catches me off guard that this track is from sonic unleashed when i look at the name of what is playing.

God i feel really strongly about the matches today. Ephemeral Glory B is definitely one of my favs in the contest. Its pretty emblematic of why kimihiro abe is my favorite vgm composer...a huge focus on cool harmonies, and sometimes the interaction of those harmonies with strange melody lines that only are given a context that makes sense through these unusual harmonies..and BEAUTIFUL production. amazing similar the context of this layer changes depending on whats surrounding it with rhythms too. The ambiguity of barlines here is such a cool free feeling. One of the most influential tracks on me that i can think of. The sorts of things i improvise or write these days are often very directly influenced by the way this track WORKS. And of course i like traditional japanese instrumentation a lot..muramasa is an ost i ranked in my potential top 5 game osts in one list i made (top 4 being pso2 / sonic shuffle / opoona / coded soul [making THREE of my top 5 soundtracks with a lot of kimihiro abe music on them lol])., not sure i still have it there but it is definitely a big one for me.

Tyrian Maze - Inner Chamber [8.2]
To The Heart [Vocal Version] [8.3]

This is honestly cooler than what I'm currently giving it credit for. The echo-y synths are probably the coolest thing about this song, and the sort of spacey vibes I feel at some points are welcomed. A stronger melody would benefit this for sure, but this is pretty good as background music as is.

Let's get this out the way, as obvious as it is: To The Heart is no Paradise (Stay Forever). That song has already stolen my heart and has very much earned its way into my heart, while To The Heart is gonna have to climb a bit to get where I'm placing Stay Forever. That said, I'd be foolish to not appreciate the similar funky city pop style that To The Heart is still using. The instrumentation might not feel as strong to me, but the crisp vocals is still making me cling to my choice here. You win for now, To The Heart.

Jungle Joyride (Night) [8.5]
Ephemeral Glory B [8.2]

I remember being surprised at how cool the Night stage songs in Unleashed sounded, and Jungle Joyride is no exception. The percussion, the heavy stings from the piano and the violin work wonderfully together here, and I'm loving how well it nails that "darker atmosphere", as it should for the stage it's creating that atmosphere for. This is better than I remember it being, it's probably in my Top 10 songs for the entire game soundtrack at this point.

Ephemeral Glory has this "Amaterasu from Okami gets stuck in a mechanical clock tower dungeon that appears suddenly in ancient Japan" vibe that I find really interesting. I think the song seems busy at a couple of spots, but I really like the sound overall and really appreciate that this is going for a darker ambience that works well for me.

Tiebreaker Round:
Give me Kirby Air Ride 2 already, and give me City Trial back. I need it.

Inner / Ephemeral / Map

Tyrian Maze - Inner Chamber: Exploring a dense network of dark, interconnected passageways, you start to see a faint glow shining in the distance.

To The Heart [Vocal Version]: She rolls down her window, letting her hair blow through the air as she drives sleekly away from the scene of the crime.

Jungle Joyride (Night): A flower blooms at dusk, opening its elongated and decorative petals to let the cool air wash over it.

Ephemeral Glory B: Flames dance higher and higher, curving in shapes that mystify and awe, but which only image for a moment before shifting again.

Tyrian > Ephemeral >= Jungle > Heart > Abstract > City

Paradise Killer - To The Heart [Vocal Version]
Sonic Unleashed - Jungle Joyride (Night)
The 9th Annual Vanilla Level Design Contest - Abstract Map

MATCH 1

Tyrian Maze - Inner Chamber takes a bit to get going, but I like it overall! 0:40-0:43 with those chimes and pad chords and 1:16-1:36 with the melody and chords once again are probably my favorite parts of the song.

I think I like To the Heart more than Paradise from last year! I like the heart (no pun intended) this song has in how it sounds. A lot of good melodic stuff in this song from the piano to the vocals. The guitar solo is really nice too, but I think it overstays its welcome when it blends in with the vocals because it sounds like it almost interferes with the vocals.

MATCH 2

[To be finished]
