Haste_2 08/06/20 11:33:24 PM #330:	(Late saying this) I didn't realize ded and wed were so highly regarded. The reason they didn't end up higher wasn't an issue with how they were made--it was a style issue. I'm simply not into trance edm music. I suppose an 8 rating is really good considering that! 89) Chrono Trigger - Time Circuits (Enhasa) Series rank: 3 of 4 https://youtu.be/uzjvqzDaK0c Composer: Yasunori Mitsuda Score: 8.2/10 (Excellent) VGMC History: VGMC 1 (Lost R3), VGMC 2 (Lost R1), VGMC 3 (Lost R6 to Diving) Favorite Part: The bell-like arpeggios Its a truly enchanting piece of music. Sometimes I forget this was on SNES. I don't know what to call any of the instruments used, but they were carefully selected, thats for sure. The melodic patterns played by the bell/xylophone-like instrument is simply MAGICAL. Mitsuda loves that fourth interval in his patterns, doesnt he? (Boss Battle 1 does something similar) Then the sitar-like instrument evokes an exotic/slightly primitive aura, perfect for a magical society. Seriously, this theme is a big reason why 12000 B.C. is my favorite part of the game. Then the choir takes over with gorgeous chords MORE magic! Mitsuda always has that knack of being able to create very natural melodies that emphasize the 7th/9th/tritone of the harmonies underneath. Sound quality-wise its among the best SNES music there is. 88) Umineko no Naku Koro ni 1 - goldenslaughterer Series rank: 4 of 15 https://youtu.be/xAupQUUglkU Composer: zts Score: 8.3/10 (Excellent) VGMC History: VGMC 4 (Lost R3), VGMC 9 (Lost R4), VGMC 10 (Lost R3), VGMC 11 (Lost R6 to Emil Karma) Favorite Part: The first minute, as well as https://youtu.be/xAupQUUglkU?t=100 Great initial sound effects sounds like a black hole. Classic Umineko wind chimes leitmotif cant go wrong with that. I dislike certain loud beats, true, but I LOVE the main beat in this one (0:14). It doesnt have the heavy dosage of edm trance compared to some other zts tracks, so this track ended up higher. The chime at 0:43, the way it reverberates. gives me the chills! More wind chimes, and then the music goes in double time! Things are getting serious now! At 1:41, we get a major shift: the juxtaposing of the harpsichord vs. organ (cool open chords) is awesome. Add the GREAT piano patterns and we have an all-star keyboard affair! Harpsichord and synth combine with the bass from the start, and you got a unique sound going. Extra beat at 2:38 is cool, to help transition into something different! 2:40s chorus is haunting, especially the lower parts of it, whoa. =O And then comes that same squashy beat again that I love. But yeah, maybe its not too impressive as a composition, but the atmosphere is really something special! --- "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:943088031] in Haste2 ran... [t:78392394]...</cite> <quote>(Late saying this) I didn't realize ded and wed were so highly regarded.
