Heretic Frypan
Argon Refinery
Jupiter Guns Novel (Long Version)

How do I adore one Kudo song, but find the other just "okay, I guess!" No matter who wins match 2, I'm happy. Both songs are amazing.

Unknown Pollution
THE CHASE ~Chase~
Jupiter Guns Novel (Long Version)


re: Hollows
b2/b3


Let's talk about musical context. Sometimes I'll associate a context to a track in the contest by having played the game it's from and the feelings I had hearing it in-game, like Collapsed Expressway. Sometimes I'll hear a track I haven't played the game for and reminisce about my personal circumstances and reaction when I first listened to the soundtrack, like Imbrium. Hollows fits a third context category that I didn't really form fully until recently.

Hollows is one of DireKrow's tracks. It reminds me of Dire specifically, because he was the one who introduced it to me during VGM in 2021 guessing game planning and spoke about how much he liked it. Listening to it, I recognize the elements of it that I know he'd like, from the melody to the beat to the overall feel.

It's hard to quantify, but I do know that I'm much more fond of this track than I'd initially expect because of it. Music is the connective tissue of this community, and there aren't a lot of tracks in the contest that remind me of how it brings us together more than Hollows does. I listen to it, and my thoughts go to a person, and hope he's doing okay.

other notes:
-THE CHASE kinda does a similar thing except in this case it's Toxtricity, and how he first pointed this out to me to explain how closely Kanno's music can mirror Pat Metheny; I hope he's doing okay as well

Rather torn on Match 3 because I like Jupiter Guns Novel but I think the long version drags on really, really badly after the first 2 minutes

Man, Heretic Frypan was better than I remember it being. I think Argon and Hollows fell down by quite a bit, but "decent" was the worst in this set.
