Topic	[VGMC] Day 13! Gold / Wheels / Boisterous / Now What? / Neuchatel / OPTICAL MODE
HasteDeux 05/22/21 10:58:14 PM #18:	Stay Gold Now What? abstain for now Stay Gold (6.2^ - 58th place (oops)) / Wheels of Aurelia (7.5 - 36th place) Dreamy and Boisterous Holy Land (8.7v - 18th place) / Now What? (8.9^ - 16th place) Neuchatel (7.7^ - 31st place) / OPTICAL MODE (9.2 - 9th place) Stay Gold would be at least a point higher if I redid it...at least 1.5 points higher >_>. Regardless, 6.2 being 58th place shows just how much I like Bracket B! Simple composition, but this kind of folky instrumentation (those bass drums!) really hits home. For Wheels, I like how active the guitars are (also fun part where everyone's unison actively moving around) and how a lot of the harmonies are drawn from outlined moving lines. Good trumpet duet writing, too. Holy Land's got that classic tune I like, and it's gotta super fun 16th-note synth runs that really boosts the score. Now What? - stunningly flourishing beautiful piano writing. Cool balancing of dissonances and open intervals and the way the bass often is part of the melodic stuff. I've heard some stuff like this on OCRemix, if only I could remember who wrote like this. Oh, yeah, that's right. Smiling Hilltop for Four Hands, one of my favorite FF4 remixes, by Long Dao! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KX4N0j2L_88 Maybe not exactly the same style, but close enough. I enjoy the schmaltzy feeling of Neuchatel - combining the feel with edm is certainly interesting... in fact, I love it! All of it just "works". But, oh, crap, I cannot vote for it because of Optical Mode. Oh, wait, this match is close! Wow, I might have to abstain for now. The problem with Optical Mode is that how much I like it is hugely dependent on my mood...like, very few tracks in existence are as variable as AM's music in terms of how my mood affects my opinion of it. But yeah, Optical Mode does an amazing job at taking you into a robotic hi-tech world, unlike anything I've heard outside of AM. Not just hi-tech, but a world that's 100% metallic/robotic environment with no living organisms, and because I love NATURE, sometimes I just don't like this style very much, but other times I love it! I should probably vote assuming I'm in the OPTICAL MOODE, erm, I mean OPTIMAL MOOD! (gee whiz, my ratings are a mess) --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So... what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." <cite>HasteDeux posted [p:954200417] in [VGMC] Day...
