match 1 and 2 all good but kinda around the same "dont feel strongly about it" level

this yoko Kanno one could be in the 5th pokemon movie(the one with Latias and Latios
4:19 sounds like 90s stock music and I mean this as a completely unironic compliment. close match
arlosa mine is up with eden1 and the frogger beyond one and all those other songs I keep saying I like in this contest. but I keep forgetting to mention it. well anyway it is a 10/10. I like polyrhythms and metric modulation and "klonoa on drugs" chord progressions and mallet percussion and reversed sounds and this has all that at the same time while still sounding cohesive. feels both like rotating machine gears and wondrous ancient nature at once. all these things always say I look for. always a pleasure to listen to a basiscape original sound track
I tend to like chord changes where part of it heavily emphasizes a pitch class that is a semitone above the initial root and this does that so I like that. probably the most viscerally powerful chord movement to me other than parallelism stuff which is part of why i like basiscape so muchso many of them like doing that. the echo beep is a nice space sound among everything else.
is that a pmd1 sound. suddenly I am nostalgic for that game which I have never beaten because I am a fake pmd fan. the chord changes do neat things that move me sometimes
regal ruin is probably the one I know the vocal layer to the least well which is probably place's fault. I usually prefer to listen to this ost as instrumentals but can you feel the sunshine is an exception where I strongly prefer it with vocals. well anyway Richard Jacques is good at putting cool sounds in his songs and I've made it clear I love when ancient ruins wind up represented by electronic sounds
