Dual Damn-stinies

I've always had a soft spot for Phoenix Wright music and it was a thrill to hear some of the series' most iconic themes dialed up with better instrument samples and some killing drum performances. As much as I liked the new version of Phoenix's main "Objection" theme, a couple of other tracks were the ones that sealed the deal for me: Both Noriyuki Iwadare's "Core" (above) and "Synaptic Resonance," specifically. That bassline in Core kills me every time (listen on headphones). Synaptic Resonance matched with its accompanying gameplay sequences perfectly—the climactic moments when Athena, Apollo or Phoenix would retreat into their mind to flip the case on its head were some of my favorite bits in the game.
