Fairytale Poison and Solitude heaven Seaside Vacation 115. Herald of Darkness (Video Edit): I've done a real turnaround on Herald of Darkness from when I first heard it. Maybe it's the shorter link, maybe it's not having it shoved down my throat all the time (what? I'm only human), but it's become genuinely enjoyable to listen to. My favorite part is the chorus; that extended LIIIIIIGHT is so good. 116. Fairytale Poison and Solitude: Cool song. Flamenco VGM is always a good time. 117. heaven: My favorite song today. I was bummed last round when it felt like people were down on it. It's ambient glitch, a combination I wish I knew more of. 118. Light Velocity: I swear this is like the tenth sax song in round 2. I wonder how many I've actually voted for? Good bass and drums here. 119. CODENAMEZ: I kind of like the parts of this that sound like Halo music. 120. Seaside Vacation: Those vocals are heav120.

Herald of Darkness (Video Edit) | Genre: THEATRIC KUNSTLERROMAN
heaven | Genre: EXISTENTIAL REVELATION CODENAMEZ | Genre: ASSAULTED ANGELS (by hb) I like that Fairytale Poison keeps mixing things up with the speedups and slowdowns. From about 1:20-1:46 it goes from slow to fast and back 3 times in a row, and with the strings and drum hits linking the sections together it feels playful rather than jarring. The drum hits going wild again at the end is a satisfying way to finish it. Voted Two of Braves. Runners-up: FLIP ARPHAGE and Iron Whale. Metallic Madness is also good, as are Blissade/Egregori and SKY HIGH. C3 and C4 went better than I expected. Pitch Black | Genre: LOCK, LOAD, LOOP Grand Master Duel | Genre: RENOWNED BUILDAROUND Fairytale Poison and Solitude | Genre: SPANISH SEPTIC SPRITE Grains of Mood | Genre: EMOTIONAL WAVELENGTH Voided | Genre: FACING FUTILITY Light Velocity | Genre: LUXURIOUS RIDE Cardinal Palace | Genre: OFFICIOUS APEX Swamp Fever Horde Theme | Genre: HILLBILLY HORROR Seaside Vacation | Genre: IDOL IDEAL --- Tune in to over a decade of VGM history with the VGMC playlists!

Light Velocity no1=CODENAMEZ Herald of Darkness (Video Edit) > Light Velocity > Fairytale Poison and Solitude > no1=CODENAMEZ > Seaside Vacation > heaven Herald of Darkness (Video Edit) - 9.5 I've listened to this song like three times in the past 24 hours I'm not gonna relisten for this LMAO, full version (13 minute version not 30 minute version) should've been here instead but it's still Herald of Darkness it's still an absolute fucking banger Fairytale Poison and Solitude - 8.5 banger heaven - 6 has some nice stuff but I do not like all the glitchy effects, would probably enjoy a version without them substantially more Light Velocity - 8.5 jazzy banger no1=CODENAMEZ - 8 solid song I like Seaside Vacation - 6 I am sick of generic weeb shit. also I swear there's a filter over the vocals in the second verse or smth bc those specifically don't sound great --- Erica, she/her.
