Nice week. I have to agree on the understated quality (in a positive light) of many of these pieces.
(2 points) The Legend of Kyrandia (PC Game Rip) - Outside Brandon's Home Pure gold. Would never imagine this to be a Klepacki track considering all the heavy-duty stuff he has done for Dune and C&C. There's a lot to like about this piece and it falls under the same umbrella as "Ballad of Hope" but more impactful and soulful. Love the development, too. (2 points) ToBi D+VINE Complete Sound Track - Fly! (arranged by Norihiro Furukawa) Another great song. Love the melody and the understated piano sections. "Chorus" bit was very well done, too. Overall, nice package that's satisfying. (1 point) Lost Files - Mysterious Story of the Island of Souls Part 4 This certainly sounds like your classic Kikuta track but with some updates. The lovely piano melody betrays all. Quite reminiscent of Seiken Densetsu 3. (1 point) Anno 1602 (Game Rip) - Ballad of Hope This is kind of nice. The introduction is almost like a throwback to early 90s ballads. Very pleasant overall and, somehow, I keep imagining this track to be an instrumental version of a vocal song. And the rest... Symphonic Suite Dragon Quest Complete CD-Box - Satan (V) Reminds me somewhat of "Rite of Spring" for some reason. Interesting orchestration and structure. I suppose this is what you'd call modernist music? Solstice The Quest for the Staff of Demnos (Game Rip) - Main Theme Intersting but I do think it is somewhat weaker than the first Solstice song that was nominated some time back. The melodic sections are pretty good though I'd have wanted more development. Nice enough structure, though. The Twisted Tales of Spike McFang (Game Rip) - Batland Castle The most upbeat song of the week. And so very happy and cheery. I like the quirky melody and arrangement; nice change from the other songs this week. Unfortunately, I ran out of points because this was very close to getting one. WindAge - Oriental Dark Flight There's certianly a classic ZUN quality about this piece. Really interesting to finally hear a ZUN arranged track because I do think the arrangement does help flesh out the track more than is usual for ZUN pieces. But a tad more development would have been nice. Jam it back in, in the dark.
I think therefore I am... I think.
