Board 8 > Atelier Ayesha of the Year ~ Match One

(+) Yeah! (+)

Welcome to today's topic for Atelier Ayesha Music Contest 1, a tournament of the best tracks from Atelier Ayesha, as decided upon by you, the voters.

Links:
Bracket - https://challonge.com/AyeshaOfTheYear
Results & Discussion: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/77778184
Atelier Ayesha playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeKaE-gusMmYs5143GgBeNTGHc5Czw3-s

Rules:

- Listen to both of the songs. Links have conveniently been provided for both songs. Even if Guidance is your favorite of all-time and Recollection Hill is a track you hate... Listen. To. Both. (If I have suspicions your vote is not based on a fair and impartial preference, it will be disqualified.)
- Obvious contest rules apply (no alts, one vote per person, no rallying, etc.).
- Please make your voting options clear, rather than burying them in text.
- Each set of matches lasts 24 hours, even if the new one isnt up by then.
- Always vote on the versions of the song provided, not versions from different sources.
- If you know ahead of time that you're not going to be around and you want to vote in advance, post your choices in the discussion/bracket topic.
- Please do NOT post tallies/score updates in the middle of the match, as this has a tendency to directly influence matches.
- You don't have to vote in all the matches, but it'd be cool if you did!

Invitation Flower ~ Spring
Floating Islands

match one is weird, IF spring is like the "inoffensive but not that remarkable" IF compared to boring winter, pretty cool autumn and the amazing mr. summer. mystic pendulum is still pretty whatever to me and it just keeps being so after i forgot about it from when I found Ayesha's OST until VGMC12 lol. the hidden man singing in spring is pretty cool as well fwiw

Floating Islands starting with those sick reversed piano samples is SO COOOOOOL, it's a pretty standard Atelier dungeon song though after that, but the mood is set perfectly from the beginning and it's very cool. Short and sweet, doesn't overstay its welcome. Just a Coffin and an Automaton starts off all bombastic and DRAMATIC but it just doesn't go anywhere really for me.
