An Endless Desert is my 29th favorite in the contest! I LOVE steve reich-esque minimalism. HAPPY day/month 7/4 TIME DAY!! Very good timing of this match being today!!! maybe it will be good luck?! 7 is a lucky number...! Hey there's another reversed choir-ish pad sound right at like :17, very similar to the one in wings of terror phase 2! I like that part! One of the cool things about this one is how the piano's rhythm is consistent but it actually takes 2 loops of that rhythm pattern to go for the alternating back&forth to sync up with the rhythm. This slowly seuges between portions that are really really busy and overstimulating, and portions that are actually quite empty, sometimes I'd dislike something very empty but here i like what's going on enough that it makes for a really nice contrast. I actually find this track very hard to follow, despite knowing exactly what it's doing, but "hard to follow" is one of the single traits I most look for so this makes me very happy : ) ) ) I think the biggest factor is the way the piano ostinato tying it all together lasts 2 bars tonally even if only 1 rhythmically, really makes me "lose the downbeat" unless I'm actively focusing on counting "1 2 3 4 5 6 7" through the whole thing. Really from the start I don't expect this to get as busy and developed as it does, the slow build's to my tastes. I LOVE THIS INSTRUMENTATION so many fluffy woodwinds : D and I love the VIBRAPHONE(favorite instrument) that is in here sometimesTHIS reminds me of "National Treasure OST" god that flute moment at like 1:40ish is so ORI AND THE BLINT FOrest or something,. it's really beautiful and makes me think of a "cool forest". This is an extremely kaonash1i(mycro) song, thank you for existing cool song.

VERY easy match. One of the easiest in the contest for me.

goldenslaughterer is my 20th favorite ToC entrant! My mind rarely jumps to this one when it comes to thinking about "why i like umineko music" "why i like zts" etc. It has COOL SOUNDS but it's probably one of my least preferred of the big zts songs compositionally, just doesnt dive into the elements of zts's style I like as much as wed/ded/lec/etc. Very musically straightforward and almost plodding and slow feeling? like almost like drudgery to get through even if I like it. I still "like the sound of trance music" and this has that, it's still distinctly "zts umineko song" and I like "zts umineko song" as a sound. My favorite elements are the breakbeat elements, stuff like the pitched down drums like at 6:44 or near the beginning is cool. My absolute favorite part is the drilling ppppdddd%%%%%nnnBBbbb stutter effects in the drums like right before :21, and in general the gated on-off-on-off every split second rhythmically timed at :14 in the drums is a really cool effect. Great way to start this one off, wish that kind of stuff showed up more often throughout.

Chloe is my 2nd favorite ToC entrant! Hi!!!! This is very "in the pretty forest with an accordion and a flute" song genre and that's one of my favorite types of music these days. but more importantly it's composition is right up my alley. 5/4 time yeah that's cool i'm like the "odd time signatures" guy my signature on board 8(Gamefaq) is literally the word "time" but that's not even most of why I'd like this, i'd still be a huge fan of a 4/4 version of this. The biggest thing keeping my interest here is snakelike winding of the melodic layers around all the crazy chord changes. well they're not that crazy but they're at least the type I like. one second it's dorian mode and the next it's minor and the next it's some slightly different chromatic thing, and the melody and chords compliment all of those constant changes intertwined deeply. Actually I guess the melody is entirely (or at least mostly) in dorian the whole time, but the chords surrounding in are not, and the melody specifically hits the "this is the note that's only in dorian and not the note that's in minor" note every time the chords involve that note instead and the moments that are that thing are powerful to my BODY i guess. Big key change at 1:12 is really nice and fun too : D this song makes me so happy!!!!! I love this song!!!!! What a nice song to end today on ^^

I love chloe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
