GFF Soundtrack - General Game Music
 

Update:
Selection is all done and submitted! Tracklist is located at the bottom of this post.

Hey everybody,
It seems I am supposed to create a thread so we, the general game music enthusiast can coordinate an album to represent this forum. Sounds fun? Then keep reading.


Things to take note of:

• All songs nominated cannot be exclusive to any one 1st party game (ie Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft/X-box.) Roughly speaking, anything not covered by the other GFF Game Music albums is allowed here.
  
  
• Also, no RPG tracks. Sorry! They're allowed.
  It seems the RPG album was done away with, so it is allowed here. Provided its not a exclusive 1st party title.
  
  
• Post what you are nominating!
  
  
• MP3 appears to be the choice format for the compilation. As far as bitrate goes, I say go no lower than 128kbps CBR. Though VBR (-V 2 --vbr-new aka “-alt --preset-standard”) or better is preferred. And absolutely NO transcoding!
  
  
• Total length for the compilation: One CD ~ Or around 75 minutes.
  
  
• Where to send your nominations? Uploading directly to my ftp would be perfect.
  Login information:
  Ip: Kairyu.serveftp.org
  Password: Uploader
  Port: 2107
  
  For anyone that doesn’t know how to use a ftp client I suggest Private Messaging me a http link of said nominations.
  Yousendit.com, Megaupload.com, and Sendspace.com are some sites that will do this.
  
  
• Nomination limit?
  None technically, I'm still devising a way to choose all nominated tracks. But just to be safe try to nominate at least 3 songs.
  
  As for “how” the nominations will be chosen, I would like to leave up to you guys.
  One idea I had was to divide up the CD length according to how many people (preferably established members) want to nominate.
  Example: let’s say 8 people decide to participate, divide that with 75~78 minutes. That means each person is allotted around 9¾ minutes.
  Only problem with that is only a certain amount of members can participate.
  
  
• What the hell is going on? This thread might give you a idea.

Questions, comments? Still lost? Just post here!
Otherwise start nominating!

I think this is a good idea, but the existence of the other gaming forums kinds of throws things off. So here's my proposal:

we put, on this album, the rarest shit we have on it and still make it sound good. If we keep it to relatively unknown stuff like the tracks that appear in the SOTW we can make it stand out above the other gaming CDs.

How many nominations can(should) one upload?

I see what you mean.
Depending on what happens we may be able to merge General Game Music, Mario's Warp Room, Microsoft's Window, Sony Scape, and General PC Gaming forums as one album. Of course this depends how much participation is gathered. For now I'll stick with Capo's arrangement, we have to at least give this thread a few days to settle.

As for choosing the rarest songs from everyone's collection, I can't see why that wouldn't work; I think it becomes more of the matter of choosing stuff we all can agree on. Maybe we even could go as far as nominate a few of the past top SOTW entries. I don't know, just brainstorming here.

Right now, I haven't dertermined that. But my guess is 10 minutes per person, if things turn out ok.

Hm, sorry, but I don't quite get that sentence.

Nevertheless, I have plenty of stuff I could nominate for that CD.

The rarest shit is a good idea. :D

It means that the music must be from a game that has appeared on at least two platforms. e.g. Final Fantasy X tracks are off limits since it is a PS2 exclusive.

I'd definitely like to take part. I agree that choosing SotW-type songs (even past SotW placers) would be a good idea. 10 minutes for each person might be a bit much, though; I think (er, hope) that more than 7 1/2 people would nominate.

So does this mean that music from games like Mario Party or The Legend of Zelda aren't eligible for this compilation, yet stuff like Sonic Heroes or Burnout: Revenge are?

EDIT: Should have read Mucknuggle's post before asking that. o___o Anyway I'll see what I can find and upload them to you according to rules.

Essentially, yes.

Personally, I think it's a good general idea to follow, but not absolutely necessary. If one or two tracks from an obscure Nintendo game make it I don't think anyone is going to cry about it.

Double Post:
Just for comparison, here's the last ST's tracklist:

Burai Prototype - Isshuku Sokuhatsu!
Breath of Fire IV - Opening
Beyond Good and Evil - Home Sweet Home

Uncharted Waters II - Dance on a Cape of Good Hope
Metal Slug 5 - Windy Day
Chrono Trigger - Last Battle
Secret of Evermore - Variations Of Castle
Ace Combat 5 - Razgriz / The Warsaw Philharmonic

Treasure Master - Title

Ys IV - Walking the Path of Legend
Wild Arms Alter Code F - War Demon
Spin Jam - In-game Music 1
Neorude 2 - Tomorrow of Promise (Last Battle)
-Aka- - To the West
Simcity 4 - Oasis

From what I remember, this list is basically a mix of SOTW winners (including all of week 3), favorites from various VGM contests, tracks various regulars nominated, along with a couple of random stuff I threw on to make it more complete.

Yeah...I don't understand this rule at all. At first I thought it meant that someone can't nominate only songs from 1st-party titles. But if it means no songs from 1st-party titles can be nominated, I don't get the reasoning behind it.

Ah, ok. Thanks.

It's a rule because there are already three other albums out there for 1st party music.

Perhaps it means we're not allowed to nominate stuff that is already covered by another forum, like the Sony one, the Nintendo one or the RPG forum. This is only logical, but where does my precious hentai game music fit in? Western-dominated General PC Gaming? ;__;

We should do this exactly like we did last time. It worked just fine. The RPG forum and General Video Gaming had their own albums, and there were no problems that I am aware of.

I will be uploading my song soon.

If by worked fine you mean the entire album was dominated by these two forums, than ok. The guidelines are pretty clear. This forum is ONLY for multi-platform game music.

Whatever you guys say is fine with me in the end.

Hmm, would PC music be counted as a single platform? Would PC music therefore be ineligible unless ports were made to Mac and Linux?

EDIT: By only multi-platform console games go here, you seriously mean ONLY? Where do arcade games go?

PC music has it's own album already.

Right.

Okay, thanks. I think I know what I'm gonna upload now.

I sent you my tracks - it's a lot, but anything helps.

With people already uploading songs to your ftp, how are we going to decide what songs make the album?

Hm. Doesn't seem like there's much that isn't covered on those "other" albums, in that case, which makes a "general" album not only superfluous, but also a misnomer. Count me out.

Please post your nominations in here as well. Simply uploading a bunch of songs gets nothing done.

In that case:


Burnout 2: Point of Impact - Crystal Summit Peak
Kingdom Hearts - Hollow Bastion
Kingdom Hearts II - Sinister Shadows
Phantasy Star Online - A Song for Eternal Story
Phantasy Star Online - From Seeing the Rough Wave
Phantasy Star Online - Mother Earth of Dishonesty Part2
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time - A Prisoner Seeking an Escape
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time - Chaos in the Zoo
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time - The Tower of Dawn
Prince of Persia: Warrior Within - Explore the Catacombs
The Simpsons: Hit & Run - Mission 15
The Simpsons: Hit & Run - Theme 9


Since the rules for this part of the compilation are not as strict as other sections, that's what I picked.

1. Prince of Persia ~ The Sands of Time Rip (by Cubed): 31 - Tower of Dawn - 5:02 (Note that this is Cubed's rip; the OST version is butchered)

2. Biohazard (Resident Evil) 2 Original Soundtrack: 18 - Ada's Theme - 1:23

3. Metal Gear Solid 2 The Other Side: 09 - Yell ''Dead Cell'' - 2:00

4. Soul Calibur II: 1-11 - Eternal Struggle - 3:35

Okay.

3 songs:

Album - Song - Composer

Dodonpachi DaiOuJou - Weird Dance (Stage 3) - Manabu Namiki
RayStorm - Toxoplasma (Stage 6 - Tamayo Kawamoto
Hotdog Storm(game rip) - Stage 1 - Fumito Tamayama, Shige Masco, Yoko

Thanks for covering my ass while I was away Capo =p.
And thanks to everyone that took the incentive to start nominating.

Technically there is no limit as to how much you can nominate (I just said 10 minutes worth of music since its probable given with the number of participants.) Depending on the way it turns out I will most likely get back to you to narrow down your choices.

I think this question has been beaten to death but I'll try to explain this more clearly.

The reasoning behind it is the other forums are technically covering the main 1st-party games. Basically anything that is not covered by the other gff VGM soundtracks is allowed here. One good example of this would be the ability to nominate Sega music.

If its purely a PC game then it would go to the general PC gaming album. Again if its on a console as well then I'd say its ok to nominate it.

::sigh:: After more thinking I can see the odd loophole. Even if it were on a PC and wonderswan would the game be allowed in both the General PC games and General Game Music? Or only the former?
I guess I'll bring that to Capo's attention. Though If it were completely up to me I would allow it, as it is on more than one platform.

Its not covered by the other gff albums, so you are allowed to nominate arcade game music.

Well, if we do it my way then everyone gets a chance to submit at least a few songs. Of course this would instantly change if let's say 75 members participated. The system can't work if everyone could only choose a one minute song ._.

In such a event, some form of elimination (voting probably) would be done. Not sure quite yet what that might be. Maybe a quick and painful tournament of Chopper Challenge will settle things. Each loser automatically surrenders one or two minutes to the victor, depending on the number of participants :tpg:.

I'm kidding.

Double Post:
Just a note. Sorry for the jumbled mess I call the first post of this thread.
Its been updated, it should make my intentions a little more clear.
Or not >_>

Anyway, carry on.

Only one nomination on my side, from Clover Heart's. The game's multiplatform for PC and PS2, I hope it goes in here. I'll see if something else comes to my mind the next days.

Clover Heart's Complete Tracks - looking for a Clover Heart's - Manyo (3:31)

I'm only nominating one track... Kahimi Karie - Blue Orb from the Minna Daisuki Katamari Damacy (We <3 Katamari) Soundtrack. I hope you guys include this. :D

Where do H-games fall in all this?

What platform are they for? Genre of game doesn't determine eligibility.

If it's a PC game, then... err... on to the PC section I guess.

The limitation on 1st-party games is pretty restrictive but I can sort of understand the rationale. I guess there go any hopes for nominating stuff from obscure PC games, especially non-English ones. Maybe I'll put in something for PC gaming instead but then... Fortunately, some of the older Ultima and Dune games were ported to the NES/SNES and Sega CD respectively so I could always fall back on those.

I honestly doubt the PC Games soundtrack will have any h-games on it; besides, they are much more fitting on our CD than theirs. We could always ask them to not use any so we could put them on ours.

On a similar note, I think Heroes of Might and Magic 4 - Hope and Ace Combat 5 - Reprisal deserve space on our CD for their success in last year's BSE contest (along with a Simcity track of some kind) even though they are technically ineligible.

No. Music from games for the PC go on the PC Gaming soundtrack. How hard is this?

From the PC gaming CD thread:

"#5: No obscure Japanese hentai dating sim thingies. While I realize some of the music is good, we want to keep an image of recognition."

I think that answers our H-game question. I would just like to add that if we do not have any H-game music on the CD I will be very disappointed.

Wait. H-Game music is on the PC, right? If I'm not mistaken, I'm going to have to lay down the law over in the PC Game thread.

Since the RPG album is now killed . . .

1. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - Atmosphere 6

H-GAME REVOLUTION ASSEMBLE

Aka - To the West [disqualified :(]
IKUSABI O.S.T. - A Broken Heart [replacement for To the West]
Mama-san's Volley - Let Your Breasts Bounce - - Shinobu, Depressed at 15 (Shinobu's Theme)
Muv-Luv - Ambush
Poteneko Academy - New year's celebration

Discuss.

Some ancient classics that were surprisingly released on platforms other than PC. Was considering of nominating the 29s Sea Shanty theme from Ultima VII: The Black Gate but resisted the temptation. Will upload songs latest end of the week.

EDIT: Managed to find another nomination. Added it to my current list.

Ultima VI: The False Prophet (Game Rip) - Track 3 - "Bootup (Roland SCC-1)"
This track was recorded using the Roland SCC-1 soundcard. U6 was released for DOS, SNES and Commodore 64. Always thought it was for DOS and Mac. Currently my favourite piece of the three.

Ultima VI: The False Prophet (Game Rip) - Track 2 - "Character Creation (Roland SC-8850)"
Recorded with the Roland SC-8850.

Dune Original Game Audio - Track 7 - "Map of Arrakis"
Some might find this familiar... This is from Rimo's rip. Apparently, Dune doesn't go into PC gaming because it was also released for Sega CD.

Freedom Fighters Original Soundtrack - Track 6 - "The Battle for Freedom"
Forgot this was also released on multiple platforms. Rather enjoyed this track.

Okay, so the PC Gaming Thread can keep their image of recognition for all I care. Additionally to Clover Heart's, I'll nominate two more tracks from multiplatform games:

Eien no Aselia Soundtrack - Fairy's act
Clannad Original Soundtrack - Hurry, Starfish

Here's more H-Game Music:

"Pink Planet Love ~Love is the Atmospheric Gravity of Dreams~" from Majokko de' GO♪ GO♪ ~Paul and Mira ★ Kuru's Epic Battle~

"c_01 fantasyland" from the first disc of Chrono Forest Stories ~Tear~ Soundtrack

"Are you fierce ?" from Hunks Work Shop!

I've updated the rules once again. And yes, RPG music is allowed on this album :). Just keep in mind that it cannot be a 1st party title (ie Super Mario RPG.)
And I suppose H-game music is ok provided it is a multi-platform title.

And for some of you that are nominating please provide a http link for those tracks or upload them to my ftp (which is now open.)

Didn't namco exclusively make the katamari series on sony's consoles and portable?
If that's the case, then I can't allow your nomination (as much as I like to :(.)

Actually, since PC H-games are disallowed from the PC Gaming OST, they fit in here under the clause of not fitting on any other album.

Which is probably for the best, since I'd have to drop a track or two from my PC list to fit one or two of these in. :(

Forgot to do that last night. Rectified!

Since the RPG part of the soundtrack died I'm sending you two more songs. They're listed along with the other tracks I posted on the first page.

Here's an idea: what if we made our entire CD H-game music? I think it'd be hilarious, especially since I'm sure we can find an hour of really good H-VGM.

That would be awesome, just on concept alone. Of course, there'd also be some kickass music on it.

BUT

Having such an album would require not only the creation of an H-game forum, but also that forum's retroactive addition to the soundtrack project. :(

EDIT: Whoops, didn't read that carefully enough. You meant to make this CD all H-game music and not an entirely new CD. :(

That one will be a lot harder, since we'd have to get a whole bunch of people to agree. Plus it'd probably make a lot of the non-H nominators a bit cranky to see all their picks discarded.

Hmm...this is harder than the company-specific forums. I suppose that's cause I was trying to think of current multi-platform titles, rather than say, Genesis games.

Beyond Good & Evil - Dancing with Domz
Beyond Good & Evil - Hyllian Suite
Burnout 2 - Title
Freedom Fighters - Main Title

Some well-known oldies:

Ristar (Genesis) - Ring Rink
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 - Mystic Cave Zone
Streets of Rage 2 - Go Straight

EDIT:

Something from DDR:

Burning Heat! (3 Option MIX)

Not enough nominators.
 

I'd laugh and probably enjoy the CD then cry realizing I just defeated the purpose of a general game music CD.
:cow:

Oh yeah, I've compiled a list of nomination I've obtained so far. If your nomination is not in here its most likely because its not eligible or you did not upload a copy to me.
No rush though, since no real time limit is set!

Kairyu, the version of Tower of Dawn I picked is actually from cubed's rip -- not the OST.

The OST version is extremely short at 1:34.

cubed's rip is better.

This track is also from cubed's rip and not the OST.

Whoops sorry for those typos, its corrected on my end.
I'll edit my posts in a minute or two.

edit: Also removed CHz's nomination for "To the West" as it was in the GFF soundtrack last year.
If you need a reference list as to what VGM titles were entered last year. Just read below:

Thanks Kairyu.

What's this song? I've never seen this anywhere on the OST unless it's been renamed.

I don't have this album but its from, "Phantasy Star Online Songs of RAGOL Odyssey -Soundtrack EPISODE 1&2-"
Disc 2, track 7 according to chudah's corner.

Oops, sorry. :(

BUT NEVER FEAR, FOR THERE'S MORE WHERE THAT CAME FROM

IKUSABI O.S.T. - A Broken Heart

Upload coming eventually.

Whoops, I forgot there were other PSO soundtracks out there.

But since you say you don't have it I'll send it to you sometime. :)

Question: I kind of forgot Dune Spice Opera - Wake Up was nominated last year. :P One of my nominations, "Map of Arrakis" is actually the original track "Wake Up" is based on. So does that make "Map of Arrakis" ineligible?

Well that depends, I never got to hear "Map of Arrakis" myself. Are you saying it sounds very similar to "Wake Up" or that its the same track under a different name. If its the latter then I cannot allow that nomination =o.

My understanding is that "Wake Up" is the arranged version of the in-game theme "Map of Arrakis".

Anyway, I nominate:

Left Hand of Darkness :: Hiroki Kikuta :: 9 of 17 :: Sakura Relaxation Soundtrack
Rain Waltz :: Yoko Kanno :: 13 of 23 :: Napple Tale vol 1 Illustrated Guide to the Fairies
High-Tension Wire :: Hiroki Kikuta :: 8 of 20 :: Seiken Densetsu 3 Original Sound Version :: Disc 3 of 3

If you need uploads, just ask.

Hmm if that's the case then I'll have to turn down that nomination anyway-- Unless it was actually used in the game. Plus, Capo mentioned back to me that fan-made/arrange stuff in general shouldn't be eligible. As the album should consist of actual in game music.

And about your nominations. Yes, upload them as soon as possible!
Same goes for anyone else that made nominations and didn't upload or provide a link to them.

Actually, according to that then "Map of Arrakis" (Elorin's nomination) is eligible, as it's the actual in-game song. "Wake Up" (which appeared on the last GFFST) was the arranged theme from the bonus music CD that shipped with the game.

Yeah, I can't argue with that :).

As long as its not the exact same track as "Wake Up" and its used in-game then it is eligible.
edit: Heh, I should've read your last post more carefully. I got Map of Arrakis confused and thought that was the arranged track. Sorry!
Anyway, as I said. The track is in the nomination pool. As long as Elorin gets it to me!

I've uploaded two more tracks
6-o'Clock Bell of the Morning Watch from Salem no Majo Tachi
and
Farewell - The Way Home for Two People from Puppet Princess.

Okay, I've uploaded my three nominations. The audio quality of the U6 tracks is probably better than what was more commonly available in the day. Roland is apparently quite formidable when it comes to soundcards (although I tend to prefer the SB AWE32).

1. Wild West, from TimeSplitters 2
2. Harbor, from James Bond 007 in Agent Under Fire
3. Cryosleep (ITG Cut), from In The Groove 2* (YSI)
4. Bouff (ITG Cut), from In The Groove* (YSI)
5. Eternal Struggle, from Soul Calibur II [IN-GAME VERSION, NOT OST VERSION]*
6. Hubris, from Soul Calibur II [IN-GAME VERSION, NOT OST VERSION]*
7. The Great Gianna Sisters, by Machinae Supremacy (remix of the theme from the C64 game)


*For the Machinae Supremacy ITG songs, if they make the cut, ask me for the game versions. For the Soul Calibur II songs, if they make the cut, ask me for the direct extraction version (the MP3's I linked to were from my incomplete line-in recording).

Thank you for the nominations Elorin, neo, and Teioh.

I will update the nomination list tomorrow :).Thanks for the offer but there's no need for a lossless copy of your nomination, the VBR copy is just fine.

I've uploaded my 4th (and last) nomination to your FTP, Kairyu. It's a track from Freedom Fighters. Also updated my list in my original post.

updates
 

Alright I'll keep that in mind.
I'm not too sure if I should let The Great Gianna Sisters track slide as it wasn't used in a game. If it was, let me know and I'll reconsider it :).
And yes if you have the game versions to the ITG tracks, upload them as soon as possible!

You made a direct extraction rip on the Gamecube version of Soul Calibur II? If its not too much to ask, could you upload a copy of that to my ftp? >.>


Ok! The nomination pool has been updated again. Also, I've added direct links to all the nominations. Should make sampling a little easier for everyone. Anyway, keep the nominations coming!

I since added Eternal Struggle (in-game version) to my list, but for that one I don't care so much whether it's the OST or in-game version. [Hubris's OST version lacks the Asian-sounding instrument found in-game.. but I still believe Eternal Struggle sounds better in-game than on the OST as well, due to the extra bass in-game]. I really think you should let Machinae Supremacy's Great Gianna Sisters slide.. because it really doesn't fit anywhere else (at least not in this index thread) and it's a nice arrangement ;)

As for Soul Calibur II, it simply stores its audio in the ADX format. Thanks to hcs, Winamp now has a plugin which can loop ADX files, so no one has to deal with my not-so-l337 cut-and-paste skills to get a full 2-loop song with fadeout ;) I'll do a -V 0 --vbr-new diskwrite from Winamp once I get time, and then tag the files I know.

Also, I'll upload the 3 ITG edits to YSI soon, and post a link.

Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory - El Cargo
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night - Lost Painting
Biohazard 2 - Secure Place
Diablo - Dungeon
Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy) - Main Theme
KOTOR - Bastila Shan
KOTOR - Dantooine Outback
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver - Ozar Midrashim
Quake III - Noise Purge
Silent Hill 3 - Dance With Night Wind
Oblivion - Dusk at the Market

Uploading now.

You didn't list my Ikusabi nomination, although it's in the folder. :(

Oops, indeed I did! =o

I'll correct your nomination list in a minute, thanks for catching that typo.

Double Post:
Here's the nomination pool so far, I see alot of great choices. Thanks everyone!
Got to start selection kinda sorta soon. I don't want to leave the nominations sitting around for too long so.. I think I will be cutting off any new nominations somewhere near the last week of this month! The 24th sounds like a good day =o. I will then PM all nominators with further instructions about the tracklist selection.
Anyway there's still plenty of time, so we'll see.

Thought I give this thread one last bump before I close it off on the 24th. Again, thanks everyone for participating! I'll PM the nominators on the 23rd or 24th with further instructions!

Just wanted to point out that some of Skexis' noms are invalid, since they're console exclusives / PC titles:

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night - Lost Painting (PS1 exclusive)
Diablo - Dungeon (PC exclusive, PS1 version came much later)
KOTOR - Bastila Shan (counted as Xbox exclusive according to the Xbox forum thread)
KOTOR - Dantooine Outback (same)

And I'm not sure about these:
Oblivion - Dusk at the Market (I think it's already being used in either the Xbox or PC thread)
Quake III - Noise Purge (would go in PC thread? other modified versions came out later)
Silent Hill 3 - Dance With Night Wind (PS2 exclusive, PC version came out later)

Whoa, that's tomorrow.

Thanks Kairyu.

Well I would agree with you on that but the Castlevania series is availble on a few other consoles besides sony's console. So for now I'll let this one pass.

Well, again it is allowable in this album according to my rules. But seeing that another member nominated a Diablo title in the PC album a few days before Skexis I'm forced to turn down his diablo nominations.

Same situation, Megalith also called dibs on it as well :(.
So those nominations are gone.

My rules still stands for those games, if its release on another console then it is eligible. Oblivion on the other hand, I see no problem with it. From what I can tell no one nominated songs from it. Plus, Capo did say this:

Is it not too late to change one of my nominations? If it isn't, I'd like to change this:

Prince of Persia Sands of Time OST - The Tower of Dawn (track 28, 1:34)

Into this:

Prince of Persia Sands of Time (cubed's Rip) - Tower of Dawn (track 31, 5:02)

The gamerip version was nominated by Timberwolf, and seeing as I forgot how great the gamerip version was, I'd like to change it. Thanks - this will be my only edit.

Sure thing, I'll swap it out for you. I was thinking I'd give you guys one more day to make any final changes anyway ;).

edit: Ok here's the lastest list of nominations.

Hey my last two nominations are missing from the list (although they still show up when you click on them). Just wanted to point it out :)

Haha, oops. Again ._.
I'll update that list later today. Thanks :).

Do you gain some sort of perverse sustenance from bean counting? All of them (yes, all of them) apply in the rules that were laid down.

No, I don't. Just wanted to point out that some of them didn't belong in this forum's soundtrack; it's quite a simple reason. And no, they don't all apply according to the rules originally laid down.

Anyway, Kairyu's already set things straight, so let's leave it at that.

Hey Kairyu, how are we doing on the PMs of points assignment? :)

Considering that I have no real time limit, I think things are moving well (but slow ._.)

I don't want to name names-- but just a few more nominators need to send their votes to me. Then I'm ready to make my final selection!

Thought I breath some life back into this thread. I've finished selecting the tracks that will go into this album. Again thanks to everyone that made nominations!

So this part of the GFF soundtrack is complete then?
Nice job on ordering all the tracks though. :)

Good job Kairyu. Thanks.

Excellent job. Before I make any comments, was the order of the tracks determined by the point spread?

Yep its all done and uploaded to tappy's ftp.

Yes it was, though not completely.
I added your points (the nominators) with mine (I rated each track on a 12 point scale) and another friend I know (18 point scale per nomination-- he's even pickier than I am when it comes to listening to vgm. So I gave him more voting power.)
The tracks that didn't get points from nominators were reviewed by me and I hand picked each one (nothing else I could do without taking more time.)
After all that, I basically picked the top rated songs and added them to the tracklist. A few exceptions had to be made to make everything fit and then I even added my own nominations (they're the two tetris songs.)

If everyone is ok with it, I can post the point results for most of the nominations later today. Anyway, it made for some interesting results and for the most part it worked. I thought it turned out fairly well too :).

I'd definitely be interested. Maybe through PMs...?

Yeah yeah, I'll at least PM the results to you ;).

Great job, Kairyu. Go ahead and upload the album to Tappy's FTP in his GFF Soundtrack folder, and you'll be done with your coordination! Thanks a lot for all the help.

Well, the five tracks I gave the most points to made it in, as well as nine out of eleven total, so I'm satisfied. :biggrin:

I'd like to see the results, either by PM or in this thread.

Bah, here's the point totals. You can yell at me for posting it here now :tpg:.
Again, keep in mind some exceptions had to made to keep the soundtrack even! Plus the soundtrack has already been uploaded so I won't make any changes!

Also I should note that I only listed nominations that recieved points from a nominator! well most of them... >_<

Thanks for the breakdown. Great job, Kairyu :)

Was the "unknown judge" a GFF member, by the way?

Well the intent is to keep his identity secret, you know. But I will say he was a member here a number of years ago.

Great work, Kairyu! Looks like a well varied compilation. I've only heard about 5 of the tracks so this should be an interesting listen. Provided I can tear myself from other distractions like intensive gaming.

Thanks! One of my main concerns was to pick a even variety of nominations and most importantly keep the album interesting. In my opinion that was accomplished. Though I believe its you that will be the judge of that ;).

Anyway, at the rate the coordinators are submitting their albums you should be able to download the entire soundtrack by mid or late next month!
