Round 2 D06 Momentary Life vs. Where Angels Fear to Tread

Please select your favorite track.

204 Guilty Gear XX - Momentary Life
076 Seiken Densetsu 3 - Where Angels Fear to Tread

Where Angels Fear to Tread: Favorite of mine. Very well-structured, except for the ending that's is just there to fit the opening sequence. The ending gets better during its second half, at least.

Momentary Life is yet another GG track, with nothing I can tell as standing out from the rest.

Where Angels Fear to Tread: Starts off a little boring. The interesting stuff begins at 1:20 with nice coupling of terts and kwarts. Then the airship thing begins, a little recognition to that. The ending is bad and abrupt.
Don't really care about this song.

Momentary Life: I love the percussion at moments, especially hi hats. I think this song has a bit more to offer. Also don't care about this song though.

Not going to rant about the greatness of Momentary Life. I'm tired of typing it up and people are tired of reading it.

I'm a HUGE Kikuta fan, but Angel's Fear was always just an appetizer for the rest of the excellent Seiken Densetsu 3 OST. I like this theme, but no way do I want to see it win over a track that is at the heart of my love of GG's music.

This is a very weird duel. Both songs are great, and both are incomparable. I think I would have chosen Kikuta's piece if its sample quality was as fine as Momentary Life's.

For a rockin' track to be enjoyable to me, great riffs are always a step in the right direction. This GG track has some really good hooks in it compared most of the crappy VG rock renditions I've heard. I also somehow enjoy the clicky sound that the instrument found in the ending provides. Often times that kind of clicky sound can be an annoyance in a song, but not here...it adds a certain steadyness to the chorus. The flute is also a nice touch.

All that being said, I still can't vote against Angels, which I have a strong attachment to. But I'll probably be voting for whichever track advances in future rounds.

I'm sick of writing about Guilty Gear XX - Momentary Life. Suffice to say it's nothing but dreadful noise and I wish it'd stop showing up.

Kikuta is in rare form with Seiken Densetsu 3 - Where Angels Fear to Tread, moving from melancholy woodwind/piano music into a rousing rendition of "Angel's Fear." It's a poweful opeining to the game and a great track.

Angels.

Ugh, Momentary Life is such a standard videogame track it's sickening. It feels like I'm listening to a standard Megaman X stage song.

On the flip side, Where Angels Fear to Tread is an incredibly beautiful song. It starts out slow, but it's very moody and conveys a lot of curiosity and unease at what's to come. Then around the 2:00 mark things start to pick up and it feels like we're listening to some courageous adventurers on a journey of righteousness. It's an emotional piece.
While it probably sounds like it, I'm not trying to draw on anything from SD3. It's just how the song plays.

Seriously though, is this match up even fair? The GG song has no real musical changes whatsoever. It's basically the same grinding guitar, the same percussion and the same bamboo-hit noise over and over. The SD3 track has *gasp* tempo changes! And more!

Yeah, uh, my vote goes to 'Angels.

I'm starting to come around on the remix aspects of Where Angels ..., only because it felt like sacrilege at first to redo a perfect intro (Ange's Fear). For now, I'm staying with Momentary Life, whose time in the BSC may be exactly that.

I'm not 100% behind Momentary's arrangement here (Heavy Rock Tracks is still the one to beat for me), but it's a much, much better treatment of a classic tune than Fear to Tread is of Angel's Fear.

Not really amazed by the buildup of Angel, and like I said, I'm not always significantly pissed off at rock tracks. I like the melody in Momentary Life, so I'm going to vote for Guilty Gear. Sorry orion.
