rwlh 03/08/24 11:39:02 AM #223:	180/3764 @Bane_Of_Despair Kingdom Hearts - Hollow Bastion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nlCNVewMjA Is this the most well-known song in the ranking? Its either this, Running from Evil, or CORE. I never really gave much thought to Hollow Bastion. Its very ominous and atmospheric, which I like. It actually kind of reminds me of PowerOne from Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter in a weird way? That sort of atmospheric buildup that morphs throughout but doesnt lead to a greater melody. PowerOne is a top ten song for me, so its hard to do better for comparisons! 179/3761 @PIayer_0 The Last of Us Part II - Wayfaring Stranger https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvCd-9W_8Gk VGM unplugged. This reminds me of the acoustic version of Will the Circle Be Unbroken from Bioshock Infinite, which is a 9. This is just two singers and a guitar. The singers are pretty rough are these the voice actors from the game? but that adds to the charm of the song, a stripped-down and vulnerable number. I prefer the male singer, who takes over in the second half, for his gravelly, barely-even-singing delivery. 178/3758 @dowolf Punishing Gray Raven - Sie liebten sich beide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuOae6-GA-g A transcription of my notes: The opera in the beginning is neat, but Im not as into the symphonic backingbut then it changes around 1:55 and becomes um a totally different ass song? Then it changes AGAIN????? The fuck am I even listening to???? No it's okay because it keeps getting more interesting; its still not really engaging but points for variety. Movement 4 brings opera back with dubstep? What a creative song; movement 4 is my favorite. Punctuation! 177/3755 @cakophon Manifold Garden - Strange Worlds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpvPx-B1ilQ Very immersive, big sounds. This reminds me of Todd Baker/Monument Valley but more grandiose and with vocals. Pretty unique soundscape, very easy to get lost in. The song does this cool thing at 1:10 that I really like. 176/3753 @MargaretAnnMid Suikoden II - The Great Street Performers https://youtu.be/9JSmBXlDWh0?si=iO7BfC-RI0qkNYuN Nice and lively. I really like the instruments and percussion. This song screams Suikoden music to me if you gave it to me without any metadata and asked me to name the series, Id probably be able to do so. That main instrument I cant identify is a hallmark of this series musical identity, and it fits super well in this song. <cite>rwlh posted [p:979258564] in I rank 300...
