Fire & Ice - Water World Theme

Not A Dance of Fire and Ice, thats different.

A lovely little water theme (if you couldnt tell from the title). Like many, many water themes in vgm, its evocative of the calm yet turbulent state of being in the water. This song is a bit more haunting than most water themes; theres a feeling of isolation in the chippy notes. I really appreciate its commitment to this spooky aesthetic; I can picture exploring deeper into the water, watching the light from the sun slowly dim.

This was my original writeup:

So this song does some cool things. I like the factory noises, which is standard for me. I like the weird time signature. I like the general melody and presentation.

buuuuuuut. This would be significantly higher if it werent for the quality of the audio. This isnt a link problem I checked two other links, the song just sounds like this. The mastering is totally off. I dont really know how to describe it other than to say that this song sounds like what things sound after Ive been listening to something really loud: tinny, muffled, but out of alignment with things all over the place aurally. Its a mess. Borderline unlistenable. This might be a me problem maybe its a song I cant use headphones for? but yeah this is too much of a (literal) headache for me. Im sorry Im sure thats not satisfying for you but I have to be honest.

This is my writeup after listening on speakers:

Speaker audio quality sucks, but it makes this song sounds so much better. I thought this was cool enough to try on speakers, so Im breaking my headphones-only habit for this. Originally this was a literal 2!

So yeah. +1 for speakers I guess!
