Memories of memories is no Memories of Lightwaves, that's for sure. Ooh I really like Hibiki's first like 5 seconds. Song reminds me of Sakura no Uta? It has a lot of speed, but it does so interestingly, which is to say there's also slow parts or the speed is a countermelody for a much-more-reasonably-tempoed melody. What I'm saying is, I like it. I do wish some of the pure instrumental bits were a little less gung ho but it's solid. I can't find lyrics for this which makes doing a TL harder but I might still do so, we'll see how I'm feeling later in the day / tomorrow morning.

Redwood Colonade is basically the exact same song as Memmem, but now there's a flute. I do like flutes, and the flute does good work here, but it also drives home how disappointing an opener Memmem was. And a slide whistle? Is that a slide whistle? I dunno it's cool tho. The heavy bass around 3:40 really works. Ember Amulet I like the opening of again, and ooh xylophone triplets are nice. And move straight into some Celtic jig? With tapdancing? Color me intrigued. And chanting in the second half? A true delight.

Ocean Glade is uh... Look "atmospheric exploration" pieces is just not my ideal. I think I like this more than Memmem, but this style of song is always going to struggle to win my vote. Meanwhile Bye Bye just comes in with a Japanese sound very different from popn's other selections, and a very different singer than the other vocal song. I'm not a big fan of her voice (and if I can't find lyrics for this I'm 100% not doing a TL by ear, her enunciation is really hard to understand IMO), but I do like that I feel like I'm getting a real sample of the OST. Also the guitar at the end is pretty sick.

Tunic is still my favorite 2022 soundtrack as a whole. Absolutely incredible soundscapes. pop'n has good songs too, but their length makes it hard for them to compete.

Man, I remember being really into a few Tunic tracks. Either that's my memory glamorizing the past, or these really aren't the parts of the soundtrack I love. They're still solid, but nothing compared to the competition, which is excellent all around.

I wish I cared about the vocals in Bye Bye more, but Ocean Glaze was never too much of my thing. I do feel bad that I can't vote for Amulet here since Redwood is easily my favorite.
