the melody i'm talking about is the melody in your Options track. The pop clave is there, but so many submissions have used it already (including mine) that i don't really notice it anymore.
but it's really just the melody there that's ringing a bell. (this section, transposed to a minor, if it makes sense: a g f e d e, f e, d e e f e f g a) i've been listening to a lot of legend of zelda music lately so maybe there's something similar in there and my brain is grabbing onto it. :shrug:
well, i'll let you know if i identify it, and i'll try and get back to you later about the harmonies.
