Heart of Concrete Chani's Eyes Frantic Aspic I'm just gonna come out and say it, I don't get what's so special about Aquatic Ambiance. I never really understood why it was elevated to the level of "ultra mainstream popular" with the other big songs that non-VGM listeners often bring up. Most of the other songs in that category I can see the appeal or agree that they deserve to be there, but I simply don't find this song that praiseworthy.

-hotdogturtle-- posted... Heart of Concrete It's pretty hard to explain. For me, it's a very mesmorizing and relaxing piece. It's borderline hypnotic, but in a good way. It also has a pretty solid rhythm carrying the whole piece through as well (the percussion is pretty solid in addition to the other instrumentation). It has a similar feel to Dire, Dire Docks (at least for me). I think it's popular for a good reason. --- Fox Only, Final Destination. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Heart of Concrete Chani's Eyes Aquatic Ambiance Bridge is one of the better FFT tracks but it sounds too canny, like all tracks in that game. I like the part from 1:00 but overall I think I just don't really care for the composer's style, I found FFXII's OST pretty unremarkable as well. Concrete is decent enough, I think it's growing on me. I like the main jingle in the background and how it goes into the loop. Today's best tracks are both in match 2, and they're impossible to compare to each other! Hoist has an excellent intro and I particularly like the Xenoblade-y breakdown at 1:26. But there's something mesmerising about Chani, it's both relaxing and uneasy, and it stays fresh pretty much throughout its runtime. Great find! Aquatic isn't my fav piece of DKC music, in fact I doubt it'd be in my top 20 for the series, but it's still nice. Splatoon music is too experimental for me I think! Combat: 2.5/5 Concrete: 3/5 Hoist: 3.5/5 Eyes: 4/5 Aquatic: 3/5 Aspic: 0.5/5 --- Very slowly becoming a Final Fantasy aficionado. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Not really a fan of a lot of the MIDI instruments used in Precipitous Combat. Particularly the strings and brass. The mix is pretty weird too. This one would be a lot better with real instruments. The melody and song structure is pretty solid, but the actual sound brings it down a lot for me. Heart of Concrete is fun. The particular synth used for the melody isn't my favorite, but it isn't bad. Nice e-guitar too, though I wish it did more than it does. Decent song, and it definitely will be getting my vote. Raise Thy Sword in Pride goes well with Heart of Concrete with a similar e-guitar. The mix is way too heavy on the e-guitar though, drowning out basically everything else. Bassline is good, but barely audible. Some good things are here, mixed in with some other things that aren't my favorite, making this more of a middling track for me. Chani's Eyes is such an interesting track. I didn't like it much initially during noms, but I think I like it more now. Some really interesting soundscapes here and overall atmosphere. Actually a pretty close match for me. Aquatic Ambiance is easily my favorite track of the day. Great melody, good synth choices, and fantastic atmosphere. One of David Wise's best pieces. Well, Frantic Aspic sure is frantic. I like some of the synths and the cello used here. But yeah, it doesn't hold a candle to AA. Ok day today, with Aquatic Ambiance carrying the group.

Never been a big fan of FFT music. This is okay I suppose. Heart of Concrete's more my style, not that it's a huge standout imo. I feel like I've seen a bunch of names for this EO song. It's in the EO style I like and it's a good example of that style. Chain's Eyes has some cool sounds. Aquatic Ambiance has always been killer. Love that relaxing groove. Frantic Aspic's the first Splatoon song I've liked in a while! It's not the only good one, but the others in this contest haven't appealed to me.
