Elec wrote:*simple*, maybe, but I find that the bass in m10m is has a lot more low end in the EQ for that "big scary gothic" sound. Also, I feel like his notes are 100% well-chosen. They compliment the guitar while not playing exactly what Mana is, he holds up the keyboard lines, etc. Sometimes with Yu~ki, I think, yeah, you're all over the place there which is cool, but I wish he'd picked better notes.
This is most notable on the memoire and Voyage albums in certain songs.
As I said, their good points are nearly equal yet different. It was the demerit I gave to Yu~ki's technique that influenced my decision overall.
Remember that Mana and Kozi like... composed near all the songs >>!
