NFUN 10/15/20 7:32:44 PM #233:	#148: Trails in the Sky the 3rd - Majesty in the Wilderness Place: 5/4 NFUN: 7.1/7.5 Total: 6.05/5.75 (5.9) https://youtube.com/watch?v=YqIj20-Ju9c https://youtube.com/watch?v=VEpa_Ge9NR8 oh hey it's my favorite part of being 12 and dragged off to catholic mass on sunday. past that we got more adequate Impooosing jrpg music. evo prod doesn't do the bland arrangement many favors. another victim of 'i haven't heard this before but i have heard this before' ------------------------------------------------------------- I always forget about this (I never forget I've Forgotten You though). Almost lacks an identity to me? The same song with spooky choirs. Can't go wrong with that place probably shouldn't have signed up to rank jrpg songs if he doesn't like jrpg songs #147: Zero no Kiseki - The Mining Town of Mainz pyre: 5.5/5 NFUN: 6.3/6.8 Total: 5.9/5.9 (5.9) https://youtube.com/watch?v=zXeReyUu_2g https://youtube.com/watch?v=h3CePj4O0RU Definitely not my favorite town theme, although it does work a bit better out of context I think. There are some neat flourishes on the guitar, but on the whole it's a bit too twangy for my tastes, and it feels like an ambient track that fails to successfully establish a compelling atmosphere. The guitar in the Evo version really doesn't sound great imo at least at the start, though I do like the backing drum part quite a bit more. ------------------------------------------------------------- Probably my least favorite town theme in Zero. I'm not sure why; I think I just find the first few notes to be... strange. Like I'm expecting something completely different and unpleasantly surprised every time I hear the song. Other than that, it's solid. The opening just leaves a bad taste in my mouth Evo's is a little "softer". Does not immediately upset me. It could do without the drum loop which is a really confusing add. The flute and marimba were good though #146: Ao no Kiseki - Steel Roar Threat azuarc: 7.5/7.6 scything: 5/3.5 Total: 6.25/5.55 (5.9) https://youtube.com/watch?v=BThxF7OeA5c https://youtube.com/watch?v=V9aBygB9iqM First version definitely sounds like something I like. Second sounds like the version as written by the Dynasty Warriors composers. As most of you know, I like DW, so that's not amiss, but it definitely does sound out of place in a Kiseki soundtrack. (I say this as the person who champions the evo version of Seize the Truth!) Still good in its own way, but if you're expecting the original, of course you'll be disappointed. ------------------------------------------------------------- Why guitars the fuck evo #145: Zero no Kiseki - Lemonade in Hand Place: 4/5 deo: 7.6/7.1 Total: 5.8/6.05 (5.925) https://youtube.com/watch?v=wV8KAE25CH8 https://youtube.com/watch?v=PdbdDmdMswg completely adequate, listenable music. OG reminds me of the NiGHTS tracks that i usually skip over. don't like the lead woodwind in Evo as much but the percs are more layered and pronounced because of 2012 Music Production and i seem to prefer that so far ------------------------------------------------------------- i can appreciate where the evo arrangement took this song, but i like it more upbeat better. still great tho --- You shine, and make others shine just by being near them. <cite>NFUN posted [p:945900412] in Board 8 Ra...
