abstain invivo Shade Armory I love invivo so much!!! And FP2's sound production really resonates with me....the dirty quasi-FM sound and interesting way to incorporate bells...yum (a bit weak compositionally, though). The other tracks have nice harmonies and stuff, but aren't really what I'm looking for. --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So... what is a party?"

Incarnation of Desire is pretty neat. I like the piano in it especially. The section starting at 1:38 is the best part. It does end rather abruptly though. Customize is very chill. Nice synths and overall soundscape. Kinda difficult to compare these two since they're going for different things. Very close match. The Mario Kart comparisons for Running to the Horizon are pretty apt. Pretty chill and upbeat piece. I like the guitar work especially. It doesn't have a lot as far as variety goes in the composition. invivo is another cool industrial piece. Not much else to say about it, but I'll vote for it. Shade Armory has some pretty cool synths. The percussion/synths at the very end are especially cool. Fun song. The soprano sax and pan flute in Bronze District are pretty nice. The actual composition is a little bland though, particularly in the melody department. It also feels like the tempo should be faster than it is. Ok song overall. Pretty good day today.

Incarnation of Desire invivo Bronze District this is just an evil match. I don't want to go against something like customise just because it's just a little "too passive" because that's exactly what it's going for (frankly, if it wasn't in this game i'd have assumed it was an ending theme in a 90s anime ova) but here we are. incarnation of desire definitely demands a lot of whatever its opponent is because it just picks up so incredibly well despite its unassuming start. this is also just an evil match. i do have a bad feeling that maybe i should've uhhh, maybe pushed to get my overall favourite of "the other enthusia songs i like not currently in the set" in rather than defaulting to whatever one hadn't been used in vgmggs prior if i had known it would be facing hecking g-darius in losers r1 but really nfun only has himself to blame tbh. not to mention even for g-darius invivo is one of the more lowkey really hard ones to top. going back to horizon though i think it's a really catchy song though. feel so bad that i have to do this especially when i think i might've just barely taken it over everything else today maybe, which is kind of insane on a day as stacked as this shade armory good. sound design bears most of what i really like about freedom planet in general which is a very good thing. compositionally reminds me a bit of like, the top gear games on snes unexpectedly, which i also like. in general i like it. despite this though, probably my least favourite song today which is wild. ys redbook synths are still one of my favourite ys things, and bronze district is a song that represents them so hecking well. what on earth is today even honestly maybe my favourite day so far now that i think about it. even though remarkably none of them had any of my favourites on their respective sets, these are all very strong sets that drew something that i really like about them. rooting for everything, praying most for enthusia since it's really been the one that's been furthest from showing its potential yet (despite having its 1 and 2 slot songs it really feels like its 5 and 6 to me personally, and from here there is a noticeable gap to the rest) and i deeply hope it gets the chance. ...

customize running to horizon bronze district i rather like incarnation of desire. it feels very jrpg battle at times, but the composer does a good job in making it not too derivative of that sort of epic "final battle" sound. kind of does a bait and switch towards the latter half that i appreciate. unfortunately, its competition is one of my favourite songs in the contest :) this is pretty much a no brainer for me. so airy and dreamy with pleasant synths. this song is just so overwhelmingly pleasant to my ears. easy vote on the merits of kaze no notam being extremely stiff competition. running to horizon sounds exceptionally 'racing game' to me. obviously, of course, being what game it is from, but this is something i'd point to as a good example of something that does what it ought to do well. very summery and vaguely mario kart with that guitar. oh baby give me more of that g-darius cronch. this feels very invasive, oppressive. crawling into the midst of a living machine and feeling it squeeze in on you. very, very cooks stuff. slight preference to enthusia here, but i am a big, big fan of the g-darius set. armory is interesting. there's chippy bits mixed in with a heavier sound. i usually enjoy that kind of juxtaposition, but this time it doesn't really hit me the way i'd like. i like the cheesy 80s sound mixed with the pan flutes of bronze district. this isn't quite my thing either, but i have such a weakness for pan flutes. ...
