Fall Breaks

Season 4: Episode 1 Featured on: FINAL BOUT ~ SiIvaGunner: King for Another Day Tournament Original Soundtrack VOL. 3

Ripped by Roc the Dilettante

Man...I don't even know what to say here. King for Another Day was special. It was simultaneously the least and most SiIvaGunner-like event possible, being nothing but a constant stream of sincerely high quality content that still somehow managed to be affected and influenced by the ongoing consensus of fans and results of each match. It shouldn't have been possible, yet the huge team of contributors had all hands on deck to make the tournament a full-on active music narrative. There is no way we're EVER getting anything of the same scale on the channel again, and its honestly kind of mind boggling they even pulled it off to begin with.

The lead-up to the grand final match between DJ Professor K and Mariya Takeuchi kind of encapsulates that feeling. In gearing up for the voting to commence, the team put out FOUR rips at once demonstrating the two's musical styles up against each other. And like I said - it was still all super high quality!

Fall Breaks became the one to stick with me for the longest, and that shouldn't really be much of a surprise I feel. Beyond perfectly showing the appeal of both styles of music that the contestants were offering, it feels almost bittersweet in its progression? It wants to celebrate the tournaments grand climax, but also signals that its inevitably a little sad its all going to end after this one match. Its a track I haven't been able to get out of any playlist I make just because of the memories I have associated with it - I couldn't pick a favorite between the two, and I almost just wanted them both to win together.

I think my favorite touch with this is the Mariya Takeuchi track mashed up with this - "September". It may be a stretch, but it feels almost poetic that DJ Professor K's own first entry in the tournament was a remix of another "September", the one by Earth, Wind and Fire. Like so many SiIva narratives before it, it manages to come full circle almost on accident.
