Staff Roll
Terra
Egg Reverie ~ Extra Boss Theme

the normie choices i'm afraid

Different World 1 6 Huh, this song was already on my favorites list. Maybe sergio or UF8 or someone else from VGMC recommended it to me. Or i liked it during the noms period. Theres a fine balance between 3 distinct sections, the middle and high note floaty melody, the funky loose bass, and the persistent droning of the dune background which sets the deserty endless vibe. It's a neat song, but nothing spectacular about it, other than its calm vibrant atmosphere.

Staff Roll 7 Man I don't listen to the classics enough. This saunters into your heart with a triumphant yet sad nostalgia. The dire dock motifs and low piano really bring out the deepness.

Terra 8 Probably my favorite FF6 song. I love how the flutes pierce the air in a grim yet determined way, while the lower repeating notes bounce along with hopeful energy. There are some parts in the middle section that get a bit boring, but nonetheless this is a powerful song.

Mighty Magma Red [Stage 5] 6 This reminds me of classic arcade 80s music like afterburner 2 or like the x men original theme. The main chorus is quite catchy, but i think it' lacks a big enough drop to get me really hyped.

I've been liking 46 ri9 the more times i listen to it, but it's still below the banger egg reverie

bumping egg reverie up to 8
bumping 46-:ri9 up to a 6

.. If anyone was still looking forward to my write ups from day 10, here they are:

Mimic 4.5 It's rock music. You'd think i'd be really into this, but when it's justs guitars blaring out non stop without a proper flow or musical journey, it all sounds bland and samey. There's also an issue of rock going too hard lol. The scream theme was probably the most interesting, even if it got super off kilter with the key and dissonance.

Aerolith Aurorablast (HAGANE Remix) 6.5 This song's first minute starts out pretty strong but it fades and loses some of its shine after that. There's still some interesting ideas I enjoy, but it wasn't consistent throughout the song. I just wish it had introduced wildly different instrumentation or tonal shifts to break up the monotony. The erratic pitter patter of the percussion coupled with the softer floaty piano was nice though. The main electronic synth section was fun, but it didn't blow me away.

Nuedori 7.5 This song has started to grow on me the more I listen to it. I think it has to do with the flow and speed of the vocals, how they slow down, speed up, get quieter or louder with the bgm to really hit the message hard. This has a sort of middle eastern vibe, which i'd usually detest,, but maybe the japanese vocals smooth and round it out to a full, hectic and uplifting track.

(PHENYLALANINE) 6 Spindley spiders weave and dance upon a jolting web of bass chords and electric strings. Everyone likes 13 sentinels music, that's cool. It has an interesting voice about it, but it doesn't ignite anything deep inside of me. The somewhat irregular bass of the song is probably my favorite. The last minute where a lush web of noises blend together in a hum of mechanics and strings is also pretty good.
