Haste_2 08/01/20 1:13:57 PM #329:	91) Chrono Cross - Dream of the Shore Bordering Another World Series rank: 4 of 4 https://youtu.be/MV-FvxoR1PQ Composer: Yasunori Mitsuda Score: 8.2/10 (Excellent) VGMC History: VGMC 1 (Lost R7 to Scars of Time) Favorite Part: All of it. Well, SOMETHING has to be ranked last among Mitsudas list of fantastic works! Simply amazing what Mitsuda put together.. We got that rich fretless bass, the choir synth, the PERFECT acoustic guitar, and the delightfully warm violin, all combining into a rare musical experience. What a relaxing, beautiful, subtly magical atmosphere. Slightly forlorn, too, but not depressing. This is the PERFECT music for meditation! I especially love that guitar rhythmic pattern from 0:07 - 0:12. Then theres the stylish bass at 0:43 - 0:45! The melody is simple and stays in its low register to maintain the atmosphere. Too bad the loop is only about a minute long.not that I would penalize it for that, but it would have been cool if it added a few more ideas. I guess the only negative is that...well, its kind of boring. Its best for when I want to relax, not so much for when Im in a music-listening mood these days. Thats probably why its the bottom of the Mitsudas. But I still LOVE it! Yeah, when I encountered this many years ago playing Chrono Cross, I would just sit there soaking it in for several minutes. 90) jubeat knit - Shining Wizard https://youtu.be/ZLlFv47lwGk Composer: 96 (Daisuke Kurosawa) Score: 8.2/10 (Excellent) VGMC History: VGMC 7 (Lost R2), VGMC 8 (Lost R5 to Zero-Two) Favorite Part: https://youtu.be/ZLlFv47lwGk?t=93 Turns out this is one of the very first rhythm game tracks to retire. What a shame Board 8 didnt like this kind of stuff in the past! It gots some somber classical piano at the start, yay. Then from nothing comes a growth of a simple run up-and-down a half scale on piano from which most of the music is based on. It sounds like something some random middle school student would devise, but it works better than I thought it could! In fact, the unusual meter (3/8+5/8+3/8+4/8 ) that came from that idea is compelling! FRANTIC MADNESS! This would be ridiculously fun to play! Reminds me of prog music. At 1:33 we get some new stuff, but yay, the fun meter continues for a while longer! It continues some of the same half-scale idea, but a lot of new things addedI love how the bass and drums support it. Especially how they tastefully emphasize certain off-beats, so GROOVY. :):);) Yes, especially the emphasis Nice call-and-response between guitar and piano at 1:45.! Piano and guitar then double the melody for a while. At 2:07 it goes into 4/4. Boo. This is a bit boring. 2:44 takes us back to the start again, but this time guitars carry the same forlorn feeling. I enjoy the echoey acoustics there. Then the idea gets used at half-time for a while (sort of), and we hear more of the good stuff once again. --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So... what is a party?" "You drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." <cite>Haste_2 posted [p:942861853] in Haste2 ran...
