- tracker musicians are far too powerful
- that is all
poinpy
- i wasn't sold immediately until i got to outer space and went "yeah ok, ok fine this is great"
- extremely bo en, the most bo en vibes of all bo en things to exist
- that main melody suuuuuper snuck up on me, it is a scarily effective ear worm and i hum it a lot
neon white
- really fantastic hardcore dnb (is that the genre? i think, idk)
- i feel like the titles for the tracks are unnaturally perfect? like "pendulum" and "angel tears" sound...extremely evocative of those concepts?? not sure if i'm reading into it or something but it's wild
- "rigged game" is irrefutable proof that i like "temporary secretary" woops
ai: the somnium files -nirvana initiative
- i am very glad i did not follow my initial instinct to say fuck it cause there's some pretty good stuff in here!
- i'm glad this soundtrack has a unique style to it, sometimes spike chunsoft games can get kinda samey
- i can't remember the last time my body physically reacted to the overwhelming fullness of a track like "nirvanA Initiation"
- lots of tracks are just sample fuckery, but you know what I Like It
- "796f756b6e6f7765766572797468696e67" am i right ladies
stray
- OK umm holy fucking shit??? this is so good???????
- what is happening why is there so much incredible video game music this year (+more since i know splatoon 3 is gonna fuck my shit up)
- i'm willing to submit that this intense adoration is probably due to the fact that this ost is somehow personally tailored to what i love in music
- this applies to far: changing tides too i think
- but even still, the compositional elements are super super strong and confident and deeply immersive
- the warmth of its textures and clinky percussive choices are particularly beautiful and mindfully crafted
- AND the second disc is filled with short head-bobbing production loops and cute fm synth/genesis tunes?? just wtf
- this is fucked up how could this happen, Again
- jesus christ
demon throttle
- wHA OK SO THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS NOW
- i JUST got done losing my shit over stray and now this happens immediately after
- i'm just spiraling at this point but seriously, what the fuck
- it's phenomenally done and genuinely super fun to listen to, it's some of the best jazz chiptune bullshit i've ever heard
- the immaculate musicianship and the swirling harmonic progressions i just, it's so fucking good
- it is so good
- what is happening
- what is
- i
