It's chill, upbeat, and fun, all while being musically fantastic. Another song I was happy to hear behind the wheel-- I was driving through a hilly place with mountains when I heard this and it was super-fitting. Pokemon Route music conveys the theme of exploration and in-game progression SUPER well and Route 209 (night) is a great example of this. The instruments are vibrant and wonderful and it was a great song to go on an afternoon drive to! Aurora Memoria's song was alright. The instrumentation was nice, but the drums kinda got in the way for me. It kinda dragged on because of that. I get that the game is supposed to have a very Y2k influenced OST (drum and bass stuffs) but it just felt weirdly mixed. Maybe if I heard the song on better speakers (car audio doesn't work so I use a portable speaker for my car vgm timez) I might like it more, but I just wasn't feeling it. The insturmentation was BEAUTIFUL but I couldn't get behind the song because the drums_parts.wav just kinda got in the way. It's weird because I like eurobeat and the bass is usually really overpowering in those songs and I still like them. Still interested in giving AM another shot, but defs enjoyed Diamond and Pearl more. Ar tonelico: Melody of Elemia - EXEC_CHRONICLE_KEY/. This is the kind of song that I would not normally listen to, despite the fact that it is musically beautiful. It's just very melancholy. Lovely vocals and instrumentation though. The song keeps it varied and gorgeous-- it's defs an interesting listen. It kinda reminds me of Lacrimosa from Black Butler-- very melancholy and foreboding with a touch of darkness to it. Also, I love the way hymnos sounds-- it's such a gorgeous language and it sounds even more beautiful in music form. Again, it isn't something I would jam out to on the regular because of how overwhelmingly sad it feels, but it's kind of mesmerizing. Gurumin was just kinda meandering and felt like fake jazz. I don't wanna get too negative about it but it just wasn't my fave thing. It went on and on and on despite being around the same length as exec_choronicle_key/. It just didn't leave much of an impression on me. Silent Hill 2 - Heaven's Night This song was so COOL! I haven't listened to Silent Hill music before-- only listened to some silent hill INSPIRED music from a composer I like. But that is beside the point! I really loved everything about this song. It was just a lot of what I like musically... it's beautiful, complex, ambient, and kinda off+~ I needed to hear something like this today and really appreciated this nom! Xenoblade was kinda what I expected it to be. It was swelling and very RPG-esque music. It was alright, but didn't shine as much as Heaven's Night. It is a bit better than the other Xenoblade stuff that came earlier in the contest, but didn't really leave much of an impression. --- It was super-effective! <cite>Pacific posted [p:926677065] in [BOST] Day...
