Fancy mystical support track is fancy mystical support track. Evo version feels extremely different just due to the instrumentation. The panflute is the most shocking and noticeable choice, but the net result if a track that works surprisingly well, even if it creates the mood in a completely different way. Strangely has a bit of a SoM vibe to it, too.

i barely percieve a difference here, but the flute and plucked strings in the evo arrange brings it up, they feel way more alive and present. slightly prefer the instruments otherwise, in the original, but those two layers add so much character that my preference flips to evo

Classic diapason, outlining of ugly intervals (except it's a type of ugly I like!). Reminds me of that scary theme from FFVII that also uses slow quarter a capella notes. I enjoy how dark this one is, and I especially like where the low strings get featured to really flesh out that feeling. Strange harmonic progressions/dissonances as it moves up chromatically is a nice Halloween-ish feeling. I also like the more diatonic section, the arpeggiatting downwards... good contrast. At 2:38 we get the stuff from the beginning but now it's climactic, cool.

EVO version: I gotta prefer the original organ stops to these ones... the ones here sound so dull in comparison. Really, kind of the same thing with the orchestration at certain parts like at 2:01, but otherwise not too different.

brand of tension music i typically like; but this one doesn't hit the buttons for me too strongly

A full-on EDM/trance battle theme, and it's super catchy! The synth chords have some fun rhythms, unfortunately they take a backseat in the remake, which also adds heavier bass and electric guitar for some reason.

Those opening piano hits with the echo are so cool. A bit too minamilist for me.
