99 Octo Road: Wow this screams city feel to me! The bouncy bass and jazzy runs reminded me a lot of the De Blob soundtrack once you start adding color back to the cities. The fluttering reverby instrument playing in the background gives me the clearest indicator that your city is underwater. My favorite moment in this entire piece is the walk up to what I think is the #4 at around the 0:15 mark just before going into the main melody. This part makes me think (very fondly I might add) of the N64 Mario Kart track themes and adds a sense of excitement of energy to the piece, thereby setting up a city theme very nicely.
Did I imagine the town?: I certainly imagined a bustling city underwater full of life and energy! I wonder if there were any intentional touches that were meant to give a specific “octopus” idea? Even so, the octopi living here would certainly be strutting to the beat of this song if they lived here! Overall fantastic piece of music. Thanks for sharing!
