Topic | [VGMC] Day 1!!!! feat. Racing Tracks, Striking Staves, and a Very Special Fight |
Prince46 05/17/25 9:34:52 PM #67: | AZISAI (Long ver.) The King of Speed Volcano Woohoo, back again to VGMC! Gonna try to do some writeups as per usual. Good luck to everyone with their picks and may your nomination win! Resonant of Ray is your usual Falcom track, but I like it. The melody that repeats throughout reminds me of Edge of Dawn... I also quite like the breaks and different things it does, and the ending part stands out the best for me. Azisai is, however, more of my thing. The drops are fantastic and I think it makes good use of its length by keeping me hooked all over. Nothing specific I can say right now, but it's one I'll be keeping a look from now on. Mitsuyoshi never fails us, huh? While not my favorite song of Daytona, it's quite a moving one. My favorite part of this has to be the vocals. They're just soooo well used here when they're a chorus and therefore lead more spotlight for the melody to do its thing. All in all this song is a great time. Chess really surprised me, because despite being a more natural-mysterious track, it's very thought provoking and not at all what I'd expect for a game like chess more than a puzzle one. I like the regressing chords that starts from 0:27, not sure if I'm describing them well, but they really pick my attention. This is a tough choice, but I think I'll take Daytona. This one is easily one of the roughest matches in the contest and it's just Day 1! Solstice is high in my ranking of Tim Follin tracks. The intro is unforgettable, bait and switching the listener into sound explosives, but it also doesn't let down after that, with a lot of moments that resemble his usual C64 style. A fun medieval jig that doesn't let down the intensity at any second. Then we have Volcano, and by god, I'm really happy Sushi Striker gets to show its moves. A really catchy song, with the piano section throwing a sweet interlude before the oooooOOOOOOOOooo instrument elevates it even further. It's a wonderful song I will make sure to not skip when talking about how good this OST is. Also, the composer of this game went to score Dungeon Meshi, and I will always find that curious. Yeah, it's a Volcano vote, but I'm rooting for either track, because they both deserve it. I think I'm just happy that Volcano gets a showcase in day 1. Sushi no. 1! ... Copied to Clipboard! |
