BANGAI-O SPIRITS Audio Collection Plus - Bangai-O GO!
I liked this electronic piece, and when I noticed the composer, the reason became obvious!

Neo Contra (Game Rip) - Mission 3
BOOM! When "Mission 3" explodes in my ears, all my defenses are down and then I can't resist it. This mix of genres is interesting (heavy rock, electronic, trance, etc.), and the sections are varied, even though some aren't as exciting as the melodic apogee at 1:32. That part actually makes me think of a Follin line on steroids.

Putty Squad (SNES Game Rip) - Dr. Sushi's Laboratory of Terror
Although I've explored a good number of Western soundtracks, I wasn't familiar with Putty Squad. This is some neat SNES music from the late Mr. Joseph. It's repetitive and somewhat simple, but I still enjoy the mood.

SPIKEOUT Battle Street Original Sound Track - Bad guys ~Here Comes The Area Boss~
I don't find that this song is bad, guys. The rockin' is definitely solid, but I guess an elaborated hook could have made it more memorable.

Swept Away - Before Dawn
Serene piano music is not on my playlist at all times, but when I want to relax or go to sleep, it works wonder. "Before Dawn" is not particularly spectacular or outstanding, but I can't deny it's a good piano piece.

The Treasure of Usas (Game Rip) - Mohenjo Daro (Stage 5)
There had to be at least one chiptune, right? And this one doesn't deceive! Reminds me of some Konami and Capcom classics.

VAGUE2 - S (from AIR 'summer lights,' AIRness 'summer lights -AIRness-')
I was starting to miss ZTS noms... Well, I'll join the consensus and add that it's not the best I've heard from his catalog. I think what killed the tune most is the stock beat, followed by Japanese vocals (which are more tolerable than others I've been exposed to in the past though). But I appreciate the trance at the end. Fans of this style of music should be delighted since I find it's well-mixed, but unfortunately, I'm not really one of them.

Vampire Savior The Lord of Vampire - FEAST OF THE DAMNED
The classic Capcom fighting game sound is one I love. "FEAST OF THE DAMNED" is good, but I don't find it excellent because it's too standard compared to my favorite tunes in my opinion.

Edited quickly because I copy/pasted the wrong song name, in case anyone notices a change.

This was a pretty good week. There were more songs I wanted to give points besides these, but couldn't bring myself to take points away from any of these three.
