Major or Minor - I want your opinion

[[AM] madmax]

Hi all,

I am currently piecing together an 45 sec tune for the ModDB Mod of the year video with hopes of getting it on. I would like your opinion on which sounds better:

Major

or

Minor

They are only 10 secs long each and I would appreciate your thoughts.

NOTE: no comments on the crappy MIDI sound I am aware of it I just want to ensure the harmony is up to scratch!

its gotta be minor,if you've played gran turismo 4 then you will agree its the best racing game ever! i watched the whole into vid loads of times where it shows the Ford gt 40 from all angles with the holy music,AH I NEARLY CRIED!..seriously though,it owns

Gran Turiismo hmmm... there was an old game where the car had rockets / caltrops / machine guns + between races shady characters bribed you to run other racers off the road. A modern game where you can lean out the window chaining the opposition + rockets etc yeah.

Both musical pieces excellent, not just my opinion. The consensus here by a slim vote is for minor.

I think it´s heavily situational. It depends on what you want it to go with in the video.

When listening to the minor-version I see myself entering some sort of cathedral or sanctuary. When everything else is war-torn and in deep chaos, this is the only place of peace that is left.

When listening to the major-counterpart I somehow still imagine a cathedral (what´s with me and churches today?), but just your average one, minus the war-torn surroundings. The melody still has this air of transcendency, but without the sadness.

The war torn effect is what I am looking for. I am unsure what is going to be in the video so I am writing this blind so to speak!
