Am I a fake Mad Rat Dead fan for feeling really lukewarm on Emmental? It's still not really hitting me, I swear...

Other than that, this is one of the strongest sets for me so far. Match 2 hurts, but I'll take whatever wins from that as well as Match 1.

An Endless Desert vs. Night birds is probably the first actually close match for me in R2 so far. I like them both for different reasons. Night birds has a few more interesting elements to me (sax solo, bassline, piano awesomeness), so I think I'll go for that one.

Time Moves Slow gets better to me every time I hear it. Great song. Atlantic Spotted Dolphin is also good jazz Metheny stuff, but the R&B is too smooth for it.

Glittering City of Yusnaan is such an interesting song. I like it more with each listen. The good mix makes a big difference in songs like this. Emmental Catalepsy is just not good to me. So this is a super easy match.

Good day except for Emmental.

Votes:
Alto's Odyssey - An Endless Desert
Mad Rat Dead - Emmental Catalepsy

Alto's Odyssey - An Endless Desert: It's a nice piece, and I imagine it would work very well as background music to almost anything. Nothing that knocks my socks off, but it's a solid piece regardless. True to its name, it does have an adventurous tone to it.
Gran Turismo 5 - Night birds: lmao "4:20" nice flute (pan flute?)! I like this jazzy, laid-back piece.

Dreams - Time Moves Slow (Home): The singer is undoubly very talented, and I can tell she put her heart and soul (no pun intended) into this song. I thought I hadn't listened to this song in a full year, but I think this song showed up on one of my random Spotify daily playlists a few months ago. So this is probably my third or fourth, not second time, hearing it. I haven't heard much of any modern soul outside of whatever I listen to on the radio, but I still think out of the few I've heard, this is one of the better ones. I'm not much of a soul fan, so this song doesn't do much for me, but as I stated before, it's one of those songs (kinda like Welcome to Musubi's) that I don't care for personally but can acknowledge is a good song.
pop'n music 10 - Atlantic Spotted Dolphin: I don't have much to say about this one other than I like it more than I thought I would.
ooh this is hard. I might pass on this match.

Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII - The Glittering City of Yusnaan: I'm really digging that hot beat (does the Darunia dance) and those strings. Great piece.
Mad Rat Dead - Emmental Catalepsy: Didn't I vote against this song last time? Regardless, it's a really catchy piece. Believe it or not, I might actually vote for this one this time after all, but this is a rather close match.
