NFUN 04/11/20 9:47:28 PM #59:	Sky Tower ElectriCITY 1 Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX - at 9.1 is my ???th favorite song in the contest!! Basically the OG, which is very good, except slightly less good. Dunno if that's just because nostalgia and that I'm used to the original or if I like the DS instruments more or if this version actually does lack some impact. The bongos it added (or at least improved so you can actually hear) are good. Touhou 4: Lotus Land Story - at 8.1 is my favorite Touhou in the contest! Good as Touhous go. SimCity 4 - at 9.2 is my ???th favorite song in the contest!! Except for the parts with just the "aehhh" instrument this is super good. Weirdly... worldly for a city theme? I don't think I can really explain why I like it so much. Great outro too. Opoona - at 8.5 is my ???th favorite song in the contest! Almost kind of has PSO2 vibes at times, idk. The piano at :08 reminds me of something that I can't place. I don't really have much to say except that it's nice. Rivals of Aether - (7 ) at 8.3 is my ???th favorite retiree in the contest!! Unlike Sky Tower, I definitely support the original over this. Oddly enough, something about this version specifically reminds me of either version of Sky Tower. Still a good song, at least. Umineko no Naku Koro ni 4 - at is my th favorite in the contest!! https://i.imgur.com/em92uKB.gif --- You shine, and make others shine just by being near them. <cite>NFUN posted [p:937223190] in [VGMC] D13...

loweffortmemes 04/11/20 9:50:10 PM #60:	Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX - Sky Tower SimCity 4 - ElectriCITY Rivals of Aether - Luna Ascension EX (aka OST 7) MATCH 1 Sky Tower is such a great, iconic Mystery Dungeon song. One thing I like about this arrangement is that it's noticeably distinct from the original but it also feels like it hardly takes anything away from the original. I guess I'd say it feels like I'm listening to a modern remaster of Sky Tower instead of a highly distinct take on the song. I like it this way since it keeps the same charm the song has always had for me, but it also feels very fresh with these new instruments and all that. I wouldn't say I like one version more than the other, but hearing this in nominations was definitely a welcome surprise since I've never heard this version of Sky Tower before. As for the song itself, I really like it the whole way through. It truly does feel like a song that signifies the climax of your journey. Melodically, it's great and I really like how that repeating sequence of notes makes for a great lead melody as well as a backing harmony whenever the flute and trumpet comes in. I tend to be a pretty big fan of Touhou music, but Faint Dream ~ Inanimate Dream doesn't feel as good as the usual Touhou song. Some things I like are that backing portion that plays at 0:44 and some of the percussion rhythms. Mainly that drumming pattern starting at 0:30 where you have that snare(?) hit every other beat. The latter's pretty common in Touhou songs in general, I think, but I really like it. It makes me want to tap my foot to the rhythm. I think it's mostly how it starts that's a little weak and that the longer the song goes on, the better it seems. While it's not the most top-tier Touhou song out there, I still like it, but Sky Tower's way too strong. MATCH 2 I'm kinda mixed on ElectriCITY. On the one hand, the song has some cool stuff that appeals to me like that looping melody that first appears at 1:10. I think it sounds nice, and the flutes that are added later in the song on top of that melody sounds cool too. On the other hand, I feel like something about the way this sounds to me really holds it back. I can't put it in words but the only thing I can think of to actually write down is that the instrumentation in this at many times feels like old stock music for Youtube tutorial videos. This probably has no discernible meaning to anyone besides myself, so sorry if that's the case lol. I'm mainly thinking of parts like 0:00-1:09 (with a focus on 0:55-1:09) when I say that. That said, I do like it to some extent! Looking back at my RtVGM score for it, it looks like it's worn off on me over time, though. Man, Partizans feels like something I should like a lot. And I do from 0:00-0:31, but once that intro is finished and the next part of the song comes on, my interest gets a lot lower. I wish I could come up with the words to explain why it is that I'm not as interested in that next part, but I can't. I guess maybe I can say it sounds like a march or something which isn't the kind of style of music that interests me? I'm hesitant in saying that because I might not even be describing it right. But I think the rest of the song I like to varying degrees. It's to the point where I keep thinking about flipping on this match, but at the same time, my brain's telling me that ElectriCITY is good more consistently. So, yeah, pretty close match, but not the best match. MATCH 3 Luna Ascension's such a great song! The melody's all bright and happy, which I think I tend to like pretty consistently. I think I like both this Rivals of Aether version and the original just as much. Not a whole lot to say about this song, it just appeals to a certain section of my taste quite nicely. Uggghhh such a rough draw for this match. There are so many songs from Umineko that I'd take over Luna Ascension. Even from the question arcs, which is my least favorite of the two overall in terms in terms of music (though I should say that this is because there just aren't as many top-tier songs in the first half of the game). Sadly, Endless Nine was never really my favorites among the question arc music. Even during BOST, I strongly considered putting Endless Nine as my alt for Umineko since it was a retired song, but I knew there were other songs I liked more that weren't really strong enough for the main 6 songs, so I settled on dir as a variety pick that I like instead. The thing is, even if it's a middle-of-the-road Umineko song, the average song in this game is still really good, so I can definitely say that I like Endless Nine quite a bit. I'd easily take it over both of the songs in match 2 and probably over Faint Dream as well. In this match, though, it's super close, but in the end, I just don't think Endless Nine is a strong enough song to beat Luna Ascension EX. I think melodically, it just doesn't hold up as well as many other Umineko songs for me. Maybe a little bit of a surprise for those who know how much I like Umineko's soundtrack, but like I said, Endless Nine was dealt too rough of a hand here.
