Sensei's Theme (CO Power) The Magnificents Jungle Journey So you telling me I should have heard about this? This song feels like an alternate universe Majora's Mask. Well, I can't pretend it's a super exciting song, but it's strengths lie in its varied rhythms. The strings are used in interesting ways and all of it evocates SNES dungeon themes. I think it's pretty respectable, but it also doesn't have a lot going on. AIRBORNE ASSAULT! Onto Sensei now, and wow, I'm very happy someone thought of getting The Consouls for this game, it was an amazing choice. This electro-swing take onto the already good jazz-ish theme of Sensei has got to be one of my favorite themes of the remake; hell, I'm happy CO Powers gets its own score to begin with! The sax is enchanting and the backing instruments function like clockwork, I enjoy that little GBA drum roll thrown in there too. It's just very good, I gotta vote it, but I must Sewers can still put up a fight with what it has. More Picq music... oh, this beat is nice. This song just feels extremely PC game coded for everywhere it sounds, what with the instruments choices and all. The vocal pads seem to enhance the mysterious tone the song is plotting. This has been a nice combo, magnificient job indeed. Hmm... Xenosaga vocals... the music is catchy and the vocals are charming, I think the thematic is well encapsulated too. The more calm approach is a nice change of pace, although it means it doesn't do much too. It's definitely beyond the many vocal songs I've heard this far, for sure. I think I'll pick... Picq. Great showing for both, though! Musashi... again! This more ethereal layer to the strings-accordion is such a nice design to a jungle theme that I don't see normally. This drum break towards the end rocks too. I think it has not dissapointed me, a very unique contender here. Anyways, this is the fabled PS5 game? One of the ten! And I see it's got some nice music... the cuica added onto the techno instrumental is comical and somewhat on point for Astro, and the strings are a great intro. The vocoders are appropiate, as well. This ain't throwing me off the roof, but it's very cool. Fair match to the two, but Musashi has took my vote again and I hope it capitalizes. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Sensei's Theme (CO Power) [ai] I'm Your GPU I hate that I first heard Sewers in a shitty Zelda OoT romhack, and I hate this association. It is so weirdly off-putting (complimentary). Sensei can GET IT. Damn, boy knows how to party!!!! Tough match. I love the weird alien soundscape of Lost Eden, but [ai] is such a bop. This match is the meanest. I really want to vote for both.

Sewers The Magnificents abstain The Magnificents is my favorite song in Bracket B! It's so hypnotic, evocative of a dreamlike state. The vocal samples only add to its air of mystery. Few songs, in this year's bracket or otherwise, can teleport me somewhere else so effectively. (It's also the only song I like today, so I'm hoping it wins for that reason too.) ...

Sewers
The Magnificents I'm Your GPU Heres a philosophical question Ive been chewing on for a while: what are the differences between a forest theme and a jungle theme? Theyre pretty similar as level settings go, but Jungle Journey makes a case for the distinction. Its peaceful, but not inviting, you still need to be on your guard. It feels dense, like its covered with vines that obscure your path. The beat at 2:14 adds to the feeling like you dont belong here, and you're in for a perilous adventure. Devil Forest, Kitsch, and Necrofantasia are all close and my favorite would depend on what Im in the mood for. Now Im in a kitschy mood. --- Tune in to over a decade of VGM history with the VGMC playlists! (Work in progress, currently VGMC1-12) https://pastebin.com/JUNkGWQ4 ... Copied to Clipboard!

Sensei's Theme (CO Power) The Magnificents Jungle Journey Sewers is a fun little tune and not the sort of thing I normally expect to be nominated in vgmc which I deeply appreciate. Variety! This is really making the best of the N64's limited sound capabilities, at least in terms of providing pretty decent sounding instrumentation, and the composition is interesting and clever. It got a bad draw. 7.5/10 Sensei's Theme is my nom so yeah obviously I like it. Re-Boot Camp's OST is kind of like two-thirds great, one-third not so great - I wasn't that fond of a handful of arrangements. Not this one! This one's great, but the CO power variant's electroswing is especially great. When that electric guitar comes in, oh man, that's one of the best drops I've ever heard. 9.5/10 The Magnificients is pretty cool. Meow meow meow memmm. Meow meow meow memmm. A. B. A. B. (meow meow memmmm) A. B. A. B. 7.5/10 Xenosaga Freaks indeed, which one of you Xenosaga freaks nominated this 2.5/10 Jungle Journey's pretty nice, I'm going to say this like a dozen times but anytime something even faintly gives me PSO vibes I'm probably going to like it. 6.5/10 Thank god I installed a normal GPU in my computer instead of whatever this is. 2/10 ...
