Day 419: "Volcanic Rim (Oceania)" - Street Fighter IV #streetfighter
www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHlh...
A bonafide classic, and the song that immediately comes to my mind when I think of SF4. It's got such an intensely high energy, like a symphonic metal show. Peak.
...a short emote track was a risky move, but one that paid off oh so well. It's true - that groove is saxy. Smooth as silk and a permanent earworm.

...and you've got a recipe for an incredibly memorable track. And then there's just the raw aura of this being the boss theme of the Demi Fiend in Digital Devil Saga. This is the normal boss theme from Nocturne. To your party, he's a tough foe. To him? You're just a forgettable regular encounter.

Specter of Torment is better than the main campaign, don't @me . After all, it gave us this banger of a track; going full retro Castlevania for Spectre Knight's stage.

This one is just a nice vibe, I like the goofy instrumentation and chill, summer air-y feel. It perfectly captures the tone of the wacky hijinks of this minigame and this world.
...it began the tradition of Deltarune's secret bosses incorporating the Freedom Motif, and it's just all over this song's identity. Jevil gave me a lot of trouble, but I bet I'd be able to annihilate him pretty easily nowadays and just jam out with this track.

I love the swing feeling of this new title theme, it's so fun and joyful, perfectly invoking the feeling of retro rubberhose cartoon intros with every lyric.
...it sounds, like it's right out of a 70s spy movie or show. It really sells how goofy of a character Bobby is. And we love him for it, he's such a cornball but you can't help but be taken in by his charmingly innocent personality. It makes the look into his past all the more interesting.

...perform it was perfect. An absolute banger that calls back lyrically to some of Persona 3's best, and stands alongside them as some of the catchiest tracks in gaming history.

Gotta love when a level theme is remixed into a boss track. Going full hard rock as you battle the reanimated skeleton of the Hydra that Hercules himself slew... too metal.

Day 409: "Sweden" - Minecraft #minecraft
www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIQr...
Not a big fan of the game itself, but Minecraft's music is something special. Amazing how such simple melodies can become so iconic. Soothing, peaceful, this track is a staple for my sleep playlist.
Of course he named it "Bringer of Chaos! Ultimate" because that's fucking awesome - and a little cringe. The song gives me some massive anime battle vibes in all the best ways. The Zekenator does it again.

I just really like how this one sounds, there's not much more to it! It feels intense, oppressive, the electric guitars rock, and it's just so... video gamey. A weird favorite.
...I found Klonoa's singing to be very annoying. Removing the lyrics and letting the electric guitar take the lead turns this track into a glorious mix of what sounds like a Sonic level track and an anime OP. It's really catchy.

It's always impressive when a remix can turn a track I didn't care for into something that gets my head bopping. The original was fine, except... (1/2)
...I won't lie that it carries a bittersweet feeling at seeing the world we could've had. One I desperately wish we could have a chance at again. But seeing where the game is going nowadays... those hopes are well and truly gone. What I wouldn't give for this cast to be in a game that respects them.

This one... hurts. I fell in love with this world and this colorful cast of characters. Through an Uprising, Retribution, and a Rising Storm, I dreamed of a story we could live through. (1/2)
...an air of danger. Despite being from the cutest series on Smash's roster, I couldn't help but find Meta Knight himself to be incredibly awesome, and this theme is part of the reason for it. I'd never played a Kirby game at that point, so this was my introduction to the character.

...really sells the sensual energy of our protagonist and provides a kinetic, upbeat energy to fights where we rip enemies apart and style on them. The tonal dissonance really sells the massive difference in power between the last Umbra Witch and the lowly angels she hunts.

Absolute chills the first time I heard this track. It's got a strangely relaxing vibe despite the weird, kinda jumpy progression. Really gives me SNES JRPG vibes.
