Gwen Golden Nocturne Fly in the Freedom ...Theme of Rouge First match is weird. I think Gwen does an amazing job of accompanying the story in its video, but I'm not fully convinced that the music in isolation is better than LP. It's close. I wrote this paragraph before deciding where I was going to settle. Golden Nocturne is super hype. It feels like a standard JRPG boss theme in some ways, but that isn't really a complaint. I really like the feel around 1:20 or so. It's very... slanted? Can I call music slanted? I dunno how else to describe it. But then Edge of the Future comes in with the doobeedoob motif and while this isn't the best version of that motif, it's still super cool. Then it's weaker for a bit, goes through some versions of other songs that those other songs do better quite frankly, and then we get french horn doobeedoobs into clinging-to-hope french horn solo. Eventually we even start getting chanting with horn solos and I'm loving it but there's so much mediocre we had to wade through to get there. Ugh. Edge of the Future has such powerful highs, but Golden Nocturne is much much more consistent. Third match I don't really have strong feelings for either way. i dunno. i might change my mind on all three tomorrow. --- Nonsense.

Gwen, The Hallowed Seamstress -{EDGE OF THE FUTURE} Cobalt Coastlands 1 (Version 2) I love -{EDGE OF THE FUTURE} to DEATH (might be my favorite track in the whole contest so far)....I love everything about it... the opening melody, despite being only half notes, works so amazingly well for an opening buildup (granted, I enjoy most any kind of non-standard melody) in preparation for the "main" melody at 0:54, for which the synth is fantastic (ah, I just realized the main melody mostly emphasizes the weak beats, which partly explains why the opening melody works), ...I enjoy the subtle use of orchestra and choir samples in that same place, at 1:49 the cool buzz thing in the background that gradually increases in pitch and back down, the the organ-like mixture of timbres at 1:56, the way the woodwinds back up the brass at 2:41...., the child voices at 4:06 bringing back melody #2 slightly altered (and OMG those fast string patterns at 4:58)... and there's just this epic, hopeful energy that pervades the entire piece.... is this the final battle theme of the game? If it's not, it should have been! Anyway, this may be my favorite Sakimoto composition ever. and Cobalt Coastlands has that unmistakeable D/P/P signature sound of using percussion, guitars, bass, and soft textures in non-standard ways... --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So... what is a party?" "You drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." ... Copied to Clipboard!

Lightning Pandemonium Golden Nocturne Fly in the Freedom ...Theme of Rouge Match 1 is very good even if this TB shouldn't exist. This is probs my fav of the 13Sen tracks I've heard but Nocturne is still a league above imo. I'm thrilled Rouge's theme was picked for SA2. I know the setlist is a bit messy but I wanted to get every different style of the OST represented in there, personally Rouge's stuff is my absolute fav and I'd happily make a playlist of only her themes. Whether it can pull off the win or not, at least people will get to listen to a track I love. --- Very very slowly becoming a Final Fantasy aficionado. ... Copied to Clipboard!

The strings in Gwen, the Hallowed Seamstress are so good. So much color and emotion in them. The piano arpeggios in the middle are really lovely as well. Pretty great song. Lightning Pandemonium is better than the other flashygoodness songs I've heard, but still not great. Not much else to say about it. Golden Nocturne is a song. That's all I'm gonna say about it. -{EDGE OF THE FUTURE} is pretty solid. It's less synth-focused than usual for 13S, but it's got some pretty good strings and overall composition. Probably a middle of the pack battle theme from 13S for me, which is still very good. Last couple of minutes are definitely the best part. Nice usage of the Rhodes keyboard in Fly in the Freedom. One of the better SA2 songs I've heard. Nice vocals too. Cobalt Coastlands is alright, better than most other Arceus songs I've heard. Still not something super memorable, particularly melodically. Kind of an eh day today, but there's some good stuff mixed in.

gwen the hallowed seamstress edge of the future fly in the freedom gwen's theme is absolutely phenomenal with the way it dances and glides and flutters from place to place. it is graceful and beautiful and romantic and even a bit lonely. good use of strings throughout. i continue to not have particularly strong feelings about rivals of aether. i don't find this track objectionable. if anything it is a good fit for the kind of game roa is, which is commendable. it is a solid track. i'd listen to it again. that's it really. golden nocturne is a decent falcom-like "battle" track. which means that i think it does some pretty cool things, but doesn't particularly stand out. edge of the future, on the other hand, has a very promising start. the very "digital" sound extremely appropriate for this game. and it also happens to be a style that i really enjoy. there are parts where it loses me a little, particularly the vocal parts. but its highs are far more rewarding than nocturne as a whole imo. fly in the freedom is SO GOOD. the rouge songs are the vocal sonic music hill i'll die on. the jazz is so, so smooth, awesome flute and keys, and fun vocals too. i love the slinky scatting (?) section in the latter half. very appropriate for the character in question. cobalt coastlands is also good! despite its age, feeling as nostalgic as fly in the freedom. a very obvious callback to diamond and pearl in this one, and as dppt is easily one of the best mainline pokemon soundtracks to me, this is a very good thing. the very obvious riff on route 209 is honestly what it takes to get me to love it. votes goes for rouge, for being a better song overall besides just being a "me" song. i swear i disagree with hb on most things but this is the one match i think we're both hurting over lol ...
