rwlh 03/05/24 6:37:19 PM #184:	At the very least here's the second batch of five for tonight. 210/4269 Revolver Halo 3: ODST - Neon Night https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDwxjlrE9tY Quiet and unnerving. I love that Halo has songs like this, the quiet, introspective songs that contrast with the bombast that I normally associate the series with. Neon Night builds subtly and carries the air of mystery. At 1:30, when you think its going to do a big grandiose thing, it turns into a drum circle instead. 209/4267 @pyresword Hollow Knight - Nosk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wfAVkXxhEw This was a good idea to give me. Creepy ambience with sounds that simulate the feeling of being watched by, like, evil clockwork spiders or some shit. I honestly dont know why this one isnt higher. It has all the elements in place to be a hit. Theres something missing for me and I cant pinpoint what it is. Ah well. It was a good shot! 208/4261 @Tked Inferno (PC) - Happy Tune https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPX6JRa4I2U A very disorienting song. I feel not so much happiness from this as much as a euphoria that exists at the intersection of content and disoriented. In the soundtrack of my life, I could see this playing as I walk down the street after getting a mixture of good and bad news, or waiting on an important decision thats out of my hands. *6.5/10* 207/4251 @DanKirby Revolter - Midnight Chaser https://youtu.be/Djx8F1j2tWE Hey, its FM synth, we all love that. Okay but what if we took normal FM synth and made it FM synthier? The result is Midnight Chaser. I find this song physically painful to listen to at times, so FM synthy is its FM synth. But that pain is outweighed by the intensity of the emotion, and the power of the composition. Ive said in some writeups that Im curious to hear what the song sounds like with a different soundchip or with different instruments or something, but I cant imagine Midnight Chaser played back on anything other than a PC-88, at full FM synth blast. As an aside: we are now in the 6.5s. There are a lot of these. When I clicked on Midnight Chaser just now, I felt compelled to let the whole thing play, despite being 6+ minutes in length. This is a very good sign for the rest of the list. 206/4239 @DragonGargoyle Tribal Hunter - Shadow of a Dream https://youtube.com/watch?v=aPrV24B2UNk This is a goofy song with a lot of heart. Theres what sounds like a harpsichord mixed in with a poppy beat, and then some trumpet sample comes in. It feels exuberant, a celebration of possibility. I could kind of see this as an instrumental on a modern pop or dance song. Very cool! <cite>rwlh posted [p:979207311] in I rank 300...
