Happy (late) birthday, circunflexo!!
The trilogy of "Now That's What I Call Quality!" albums are some of the most interesting on SiIvaGunner's discography. A majority of the channel's other albums can be categorized into three categories - There's the mega-albums, compiling rips from several months; the event albums, bringing together most of the rips featured in one or several channel events; and finally the themed albums, that collect rips of a similar type spread across the entire channel's life. Yet as is hinted at by their title, the Now That's What I Call Quality! albums are unique in their mission purpose: beyond featuring a handful of rips first featured at MAGFest, they also aim to be a concise bundle of some of the finest rips made during the most recent Seasons of the channel. And with Season 7 being perhaps the strongest year yet in terms of rip quality (in my eyes only truly rivaled by Season 6), it was inevitable that Now That's What I Call Quality! 3 would end up being one of the best - if not THE best - album the channel has ever released.
I've covered rips from these albums a few times before, yet its typically been ones of far larger scope. For instance, Everyday Goodbyes (SiIvaGunner Band Cover) as featured on the first Now That's What I Call Quality! album is perhaps the most pure form of a "passion project" that the channel has ever released. Much the same can also be said about the still-insanely-impressive Initial Deluxe (I've Just Raced on this Course Before) featured on this third album - yet passion comes in all sizes, all forms, and all kinds of ambitions. What Owner of a Mahjong Board, and so many of the other rips featured on these albums demonstrate, is the rippers of SiIvaGunner putting their best foot forward, showing in as many varied ways as possible just how talented they all are. The value a rip holds is not merely about its scale or complexity - crucially, as we all know, high quality rips are all about...well, quality.
Owner of a Mahjong Board, then, brings us back to the territory of Mahjong Bangers, as I first defined back in Never Gonna Give Up Mahjong and previously covered in voiceless - simple ds series vol. 01 - the mahjong (¥1480). These rips are never ones to bring in the views by pure virtue of most SiIvaGunner fans lacking nostalgic attachment to them, yet they're consistently some of the most well-done arrangement rips on the channel - simple, yet deviously effective. There's some sort of mythical curse, some sort of shared, spiked beverage that all the Mahjong game composers drink, to where they all wind up featuring incredibly distinct, banging soundscapes - most prominently on SiIvaGunner itself, showing off the pure vibes of its Nintendo DS entries in particular. Owner of a Mahjong Board's YouTube upload sits at barely about 6K views, yet in my eyes deserves so much more. Different from the prior rips of his I've covered such as You Are Book Smart or Windows Wonga Wappa, circunflexo here gets to show off his skills as a pure arranger, with this being a rendition of Owner of a Lonely Heart by Yes. The dance-rock feel of Owner of a Lonely Heart lends itself perfectly to the particular instruments featured in "Simple DS Series Vol. 1 - The Mahjong" in particular - its lounge-y feel, compressed guitars, and bevvy of synths give the track such a unique yet recognizable texture, wholly identifiable as Owner of a Lonely Heart, yet also oh-so-clearly Mahjong at the same time. The premise of the rip is deceptively simple for a rip that feels so incredible layered, dense in authenticity to the original Yes song whilst showing off every little piece of the patented Mahjong Banger soundscape that earned them that title to begin with.
I could dissect Owner of a Mahjong Board layer by layer (and believe you me, the guitar solo in particular deserves special mention) yet it all amounts to the same core point: circunflexo has done an incredible job of translating a banger song in the style of games with a banging set of instruments. Be it sentence mixing, arrangements, YTPMVs or anything inbetween, the guy seems to be downright unstoppable - dare I say, one of the best rippers from the channel's recent seasons - and I cannot wait to hear what more he's got cooking for Season 8.

Yes released their eleventh album “90125” on this day in 1983.
Their previous album Drama was an evolution toward 90125. It was a more immediate, accessible record and boasted Trevor Horn (Buggles fame and then legendary producer) on vocals.
90125 was specifically made to find a new audience. It was a pretty significant departure of the Yes of the 70’s. Trevor Horn returned to produce (and NOT sing) and Jon Anderson returned to lead vocals. Guitarist Trevor Rabin was the key to the album’s forward sound. The key songs were his creation (primarily).
I think it is solid start to finish. One of the best albums of the 80’s. And a great Yes album. Also, Hearts is one of the greatest closing songs of all time.

@eliasofsunhillow replied to your post “oh ho ho, would you take a look at this”:
how did you get 90125. important question.
​Hello! Thank you for asking! Anything that's a number is pretty easy. If you can get any small numbers, keep adding them together (10+10=20, eventually 100+100 = 200, etc) . I managed to get 90000 and also created 125, then combined them to get 90125. Somehow it was smart enough to put the music note emoji for it :D

If you're having trouble getting numbers, I used this method to go back and get the single digits. It worked well for me: https://gamerant.com/infinite-craft-how-make-all-numbers/
Also I just noticed I somehow made "Sneeze Chaser," so you know what I have to do now! :D

"90125" is what you get by typing every year of World War II, in order, in a two-digit year format, on a keyboard with a broken "3" and "4".

80s stuff of ex-prog bands wasn't actually so bad. (Maybe prog fans themselves are a little too conservative at some points)
