I'm not typically a huge fan of this sort of orchestral flair, though this has way more personality than, say, your average Radiant Historia song. The fact that it's in 5/4 makes for a neat ride. One of those songs I appreciate objectively more than personally. The song grows on me during the second loop, so I'm bumping it up more. vs. Drakengard 3 - Black Song, White Scales: 9.5. Hey now, calm down, song. This song is ALL OVER THE PLACE and I love it. It always keeps me guessing. Very dark and evil, with a little bit of tortured hope thrown in throughout. And then it ends with a very effective music box. Pretty top tier. and YU-NO: A Girl Who Chants Love at the Bound of This World - Fate: 9. One of my absolute favorite YU-NO songs. The slow build to menace is executed perfectly at the start, and then the drumbeat kicks in and it turns into, like the best YU-NO music, this dreamy otherworldly aural scape. So good. I will say this is the rare song (for me at least) that actually feels less effective after the loop; I don't feel like I discover anything new about the song. vs. CrossCode - Temple of Thunder: 8. Ooh, I really like this too! Some real Klonoa vibes going on here. Nice immersive feeling, lots of really interesting textures. Feels very exploratory. My favorite part is around :45, when it feels like the rocket is blasting into space. and Phantasy Star Online - A Longing to Ancient Times (Premium): 7.5. Wow this is also cool! Normally I find PSO music too "busy" but this works really well for me; there's a lot going on but it doesn't get too overwhelming. The melody is nice and the instrumentation is solid. I also like the breakdown near the end and how the music sort of swirls back in like a time warp. vs. La Mulana 2 - Fallin' Tower (Ancient Chaos theme): 3.5. Not digging this one as much. The melody is fine but the...production quality I guess feels a bit muddy. It gets a bit interesting near the end. I'd be down with hearing an arranged/remixed version of this to see what they could do with the composition. Votes: Black Song, White Scales Fate A Longing to Ancient Times (Premium) ...
