Them's Fightin' Herds - The Woodlands (Oleander)
https://youtu.be/28OQJaycrgU

I like the strings and drum samples. This is a song that feels a little empty at parts but still proves satisfying to listen to after all, its got dramatic bells, and everyone loves those. I love the fade in not a lot of vgm seems to have fade-ins, you know and then it goes pretty ham, with harpsichord and strings. Lots of fun.

Lineage II - Shepard's Flute
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqWJz4J3e4c

This is a song I need to be in the right headspace for. Its a lovely piece for guitar and flute(?) and some strings and percussion. Shepards Flute is sneaky because you think its going to be a rinky dinky little Western vgm song but its got a lot of substance; theres a real undercurrent of sadness, a real heft to its presence.

undercurrent of sadness count = 2

Reflec Beat groovin'!! - envidia Long Version
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bp2K98m2ELs

Nekomata flamenco hell yes please. This is different enough that if you told me it was someone other than Nekomata Master, Id probably believe you, but its still within his purview enough that Id believe it was him. Its got his trademark world music trappings coupled with a flamenco style. Not much to say about this one except this its super cool; Nekomata is normally a safe bet with me.

Final Fantasy XIV - FINAL FANTASY IV: The Final Battle (Endwalker)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmsSMtswgwA

I love how we go from a brief intro to right into the action. This is a song that Id normally say would benefit from cleaner production these drums in particular sound like theyre very muffled but the whole thing is solid enough that it doesnt bother me. I like the original version of this a good deal but my favorite parts are the new sections at 1:45, with those staccato string hits and that runaway bass and new string part. A nicely updated take on a classic.

AQUARIUM - Cassiopeia
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hPA5g8Nylo

I dont actually know what this song is about (this didnt work out to my favor with UF8s last nom) but it strikes me as a really, really sad song. Maybe its the imagery of this virtual person singing to you, and the knowledge that you can never actually know her (or date her, if thats your thing), but theres this soft piano and plaintive singing and its reallykind of heartbreaking?
