rwlh 03/31/24 12:06:21 PM #407:	34/1009 @FL81 Guwange - Underworld Cherry Blossoms Masahiro Kusunoki https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mo4XhwZmGb4 This is a very unique song in terms of tone and presentation. Its very sad, but its also very stately, like a dignified kind of sad, and on top of that its also eerie. Theres a sort of bubbly effect that gives off an otherworldly vibe, which I guess fits the underworld part of the title. Its an unnerving song; the creepy laughter only adds to the experience. Im impressed it evokes so many different emotions at the same time; even though the song isnt weird in a standard sense, its one of the most unique nominations in the batch. 33/988 @loweffortmemes Sakura no Uta - Tenkyuu no Shita no Kiseki hana https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_QDenecJi4 I have this down in my notes as a true LEM special. This is the realization of the promise made all the way back at #290, Dear My Friend, which I described as the parts of shoegaze I dislike. With this song, all those negative qualities go away. Its the perfect intersection of airy, wistful vocals and j-rock. There are these wonderfully crunchy drums that sparkle through the song. Though I have to askwhats with the part at 2:45 where the song incorporates a layer of noise? lol 32/978 @Prince46 Ghouls 'n Ghosts (Amiga) - Title Theme Tim Follin https://youtu.be/aJa4UbIaNRQ Its not a VGM party without a Follin. Everybody talks about Tim Follins work on the NES, but this jaunty Amiga tune ranks right up there with the best of it. With a kickin guitar reminiscent of the Follin brothers work on Super Off-Road, this Title Theme uses the Amiga soundchip to great effect, utilizing nifty tricks like volume changes and echoes. But the hallmark is the great melody, poppy and otherworldly, reflective of this Capcom classic. Im so glad you gave me this song. 31/960 @Haste_2 Phantasy Star Online 2 BATALLURA Hidekuni Horita https://youtu.be/rFpn0NLm5u4?si=52mskppmjbofMAes Phantasy Star Online music tends to be a mixed bag for me. A lot of it I dont care for, but the songs I like, I really like. So it is with BATALLURA, a jaunty, Celtic-inspired tune that manages to not fall into the trappings of similar songs. The vocals are bubbly and interact with the instrumentation perfectly. The irregular meter is fun to follow along to and try to parse out. And those synth hits (not sure what instrument specifically) are just very delightful, and theres a pan flute (??) that adds so much. Just a solid song all around, one of my favorites Ive found from the series. <cite>rwlh posted [p:979659048] in I rank 300...
