Watermelon Flava was on my shortlist!

Definitely loved listening to Klonoa! So many twists and turns in the soundtrack and so much variety!

This ReMix's reverse snare groove is what makes this one for me, the way it comes in only every now and again, and I'm waiting for it and waiting and yay there it is. Yes, there's all this amazing tune work making the Hidden Palace theme nice and chill on top, but I can just get lost in this drum groove for ages. This is very happy to sit in its space and like DA said, it goes into the background but I think that's actually something that works in its favour. Some of the sounds may be dated now as we look in from the future, but that doesn't stop this one from being one of the true classics that deserves more love.

The vocals in this are amazing and form a sort of hypnotic, percussive element. And then those choirs are amazing... Whoa, where did that electric guitar come from? Rock on! What a mood shift. This is epic, full of moments that make me Neo-whoa. When you think you've had one amazing moment, another one just comes in. It's mysterious and mystical. I want to climb big giants now and drive my sword in if this is what to expect.

Somehow, the mix of metal throat screams and N. Cortex's comic villainy just...works, in this bad guy's plea to win. I can't believe it's not butter... This is definitely the sort of song that you shouldn't take seriously. Let it go and just experience this. ... Done? Okay. This is so off the wall and crazy, and very well put together. The machine gun d-d-d-d-d-d-dies are probably my favorite part. Enjoy.

Heavy hitting, this takes no prisoners at all. It has a very cosmic feel for such a little "throwaway" original. This goes places. Very befitting of its title when thinking about the omniscience and omnipotence of a deity... This is big. BIG.

So I'm thinking, oh yeah, this is going to be a nice little rock-out number, and then we hit that transition around 0:40... the GROOVE hits full-force. Nice. I love how this takes one piece of music and then breaks it apart into various components and gives it all different treatments. A prog journey indeed through some very interesting locales. I dig this.

Piano solo time! Listening to the original reminded me of that classic SNES RPG-march sound... here, we have a far more sedate take that really allows harmony to shine through without being lost in the pomp and circumstance. The piano delicately plays with the melody, even with interspersing the pirate music's harmony. Gorgeous.

Classic OCR metal sound here, great guitar solo. The lyrics are great. Esper and Cyril's voices blend well and sound incredible. There's some questionable, flattish notes in Cyril's solo, but there's a lot of power in his voice and it's on full display here. I'm surprised that this has flown under the radar on here... I'm trying to pinpoint who Cyril's singing reminds me of...

Subversion, yes! Take something bombastic, but remove it from the heat and put it in the fridge. This is what this does...the energy is still there but it's restrained, tempered... and says everything it needs to say in that short length of time. I wanted it to go on but that would be a waste. Lo-fi with teeth.

Dark is not an adjective that I normally put with the noun "lo-fi", but I love the combination of the two. I like the tone of the guitar in the second idea...the beats in the third idea before the keychange were a bit jarring, but once I realized that it was to help set up for it I'm okay with it. I wasn't familiar with this melody until I heard this mix but what a great way to highlight this tune!
