Oh, well this list is looking promising already--something I nominated and Fantavision!

Since I kept wanting to vote last round and forgetting, I'm not gonna delay at all this time. D:

Invitation to the Future is a nice if somewhat meaningless groove. It's really well-produced and I like the piano sound, but it's just a bit too backgroundy for me.

"Track 02" (sorry, no idea where in the game this plays) from Cooking Mama is my own nomination and as such, I freakin' love it. I didn't expect much from the soundtrack, but I was surprised to find a wonderful collection of fun ragtime piano pieces. This is one of the tracks with more instruments than just piano, but there are several piano solo pieces that are also really enjoyable. They definitely created a neat unique sound for the game.

I absolutely adore the Fantavision soundtrack ever since I discovered it from a BSC one or two years back. I enjoy it so much in fact that it made me buy the game, second-hand at a steal's price, but still. This track is also one of my favorites on the soundtrack, I love the groove it sets, and the little melody is just great.

I recently found out that Sakuraba isn't my cup of tea from the what seems like millions of nominations in BSC08. Reminiscence actually sounds pretty cool though, I have to say. I love the sound of FM synth, especially when it's well-produced. Having said that, this is a bit chaotic and I don't care at all for the bass.

Good Weather is a fun and cheerful chiptune, nothing wrong with it, although it's not all that catchy aside from the first melody. [EDIT: The new MP3 gives the track a groovy bass and really makes me want to give it a point after all.]

The intro of War Above the Clouds really sounds a lot like it came from a .hack// game, and as such I instantly like it. Of course, that feeling dissipates as soon as the actual song hits, and I have to say it's a bit disappointing. The lead is really lame, and the beat isn't that great either. Later on it gets a bit better, but I've already lost interest by that point.

Port Town is pretty groovy, I like it! Pretty crazy brass bridge, and the whole fusionjazz vibe is something I can definitely dig. Great memorable melodies and cool minimal production, and the sound quality is really good for a SNES tune too. Very nice indeed.

Deep Dream-Shadows is a very laid back track compared to the others in this week. The buildup is really good and I always like slow waltzes anyway, so this is definitely up my alley. The chorus is a little "I Believe I Can Fly"-esque, but it's not too over the top and provides a nice counter to the mysterious style of the rest of the track. Pretty solid!

Points then!

In Week 82, an arrangement of "Shinju Heading to the Forest" placed third.

Your nomination is from a different album, and though the arrangement is possibly different, it's essentially the same track. I am inclined to oppose your nomination just because we've had a similar one, based off the same track, place.

Ceft Aug 6, 2008 06:30 PM

I am aware of that nomination, but the arrangement I nominated is entirely different, which is why I even considered nominating it. Week 82's arrangement is by Shinji Hosoe and is quite similar to the original, while this one is by Mitsuhiro Kaneda and is quite laidback. I doubt many people have heard this superior arrangement. But whatever, do as you must.

Crash "Long-Winded Wrong Answer" Landon Aug 6, 2008 08:16 PM

No, I was hoping for a reasonable defense. If you insist that it's considerably different than the track from Week 82, then I'm okay with the nomination.

My objection is withdrawn.

Baroque - Music from the Original Soundtrack - Invitation To The Future
This is something I'd listen to when I want to relax. The instrumentation got me under its spell.

Cooking Mama (Game Rip) - Track 2
Lively and fun. Yet I couldn't get into it as much as I wanted to. Maybe this is due to the simplicity of this track and/or the fact it comes from a GBA(?) game, so the sound is not as realistic as could be (although it's great for handheld audio).

FantaVision Original Soundtrack - SOUTHISLAND ~ STAGE1,2
Was too repetitive for its own good. The fact I didn't notice any strong melodic elements brought this piece further down. But it's good for background music and the sound palette is enjoyable.

FM Sound Module Maniax - Reminiscence
I was already familiar with "Reminiscence" and it's definitely one of the best tracks on FM Sound Module Maniax (I also like Kenji Ito's "Last Night" very much). The mood is a little tense, which can be a turn off for me, but the piece as a whole is well balanced to keep it within my acceptable limits. A great Sakuraba track!

Mr. Gimmick (Game Rip) - Good Weather (Level 2, Pirate Fuzzy's Ship)
Good light-hearted chiptune. Makes me feel nostalgic even if I didn't play the game. However, I find the sound is tiny compared to when I play the NSF because the bass is all cut down, so there might be something wrong with the recording.

Söldner-X Himmelsstürmer Original Video Game Soundtrack - War Above the Clouds
Rafael Dyll cited Chris Hülsbeck as one of his inspirations when composing game music and I think that it couldn't be denied here. There's a nice European synth vibe to "War Above the Clouds" and it sets an atmosphere I dig. On the other hand, I didn't find the melodic aspect to be very elaborated. Not that it's a must, but a strong hook usually helps a song to be memorable.

Sonic Blast Man II (SNES Game Rip) - Port Town (Stage 3)
Being a big fan of Art of Noise, I can get into the vocal sample usage. Hopefully the other participants will accept it as well even if the human voice appears to be a taboo for many VGM fans. Kind of a follow-up to your Savage nom, eh Draconis? ;) The tune is funky and groovy, and I like that.

Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito Image Sound Track - Deep Dream-Shadows
Beautiful and charming. Well performed too, which is always a plus. While it's not the kind of music I listen to the most, "Deep Dream-Shadows" will now be part of the playlist when I'll be in the mood for soothing orchestral + vocal material.

Here's another recording of Good Weather. Not sure if it's better, but it doesn't have that joint stereo sound that some people may find annoying in the version being used above, and I think the bass may be a bit clearer.

surasshu Aug 8, 2008 08:41 AM

Here's another nomination. I have no idea if this is like, obscure or not though, so if anyone has an opinion about it let me know. I just grabbed all of this composer's Megadrive work since his soundtrack for Shining II is great, and this track really stood out for me with its badass bassline and drums.

I was really feeling the ambience of Baroque - Music from the Original Soundtrack - Invitation To The Future, and things just got better when the piano came in alongside the downtempo ambient pads. Didn't like the guitar touches I heard, and the electronic developments were kind of odd, but other than that this is a fine track.

Hey I remember this tune! ^___^ Cooking Mama (Game Rip) - Track 2 doesn't impress me on a musical level, but the energy and pacing is kind of catchy and amusing. I really like the ragtime melodies in the Cooking Mama games, and this one's no exception!

Soichi Terada is so underrated it hurts my heart and soul. :( His FantaVision works and more-so his Ape Escape works are absolutely fantastic. FantaVision Original Soundtrack - SOUTHISLAND ~ STAGE1,2 sounds like upbeat, jammin' elevator music. I always get immersed in the electronic soundscape created here, probably because the track sounds so damn cohesive and fluid.

FM Sound Module Maniax - Reminiscence is pretty damn badass for a reminiscence track...it's also kind of lame. It just sounds like a big mish-mash of electronic sound to me. There's no melody, no cohesion and no impressive levels of enthusiasm. *shrugs* perhaps if I listen to it another day it'll sound better?

Mr. Gimmick (Game Rip) - Good Weather (Level 2, Pirate Fuzzy's Ship) is loads of fun, isn't it? :) The melody's strong and memorable, and parts like 0:22 make me smile from ear to ear. ^.~

*listens to Söldner-X Himmelsstürmer Original Video Game Soundtrack - War Above the Clouds* ...well that was kind of dull, wasn't it? =/ A pointless amalgamation of meandering electronic bleeps and bloops. Nothing really comes together to create a cool break or flourish or anything like that. This one gets a resounding "eh" from me.

Hoo-boy, so much fun this week! Sonic Blast Man II (SNES Game Rip) - Port Town (Stage 3) is cheery, sneaky synth-music at its finest. The brass parts sound really funny and tuneful at the same time, and the ends of each loop are toe-tappin'. This one gets a ^.~ of approval too.

Yes it may have a cheesy chorus, yes it may be a bit sappy, but the overall production values of Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito Image Sound Track - Deep Dream-Shadows are outstanding. The vocals are pitch-perfect and sweetly harmonious, and the backing track...well it goes from creepy Halloween whisper to slow-paced waltz to soothing bridge to the soaring, lovely chorus. My favourite Noriyasu Agematsu-composed vocal track, and that's one hell of a compliment.

The rest of the tracks were quite good too, actually. But I've been in a mood for trance-like music lately, so the Baroque and Soldner X tracks were welcome additions to my VGM collection. Also, the Mr. Gimmick track is just too fun to not reward.

And thanks to Drakken for supplying the Mr. Gimmick track in better sound quality. That's the version I'll be keeping.

Hmm, the NSF/good MP3 version of the Mr. Gimmick song sure is an improvement! I still don't like the use of the saw for the bass that Japan always insisted upon when they used that VRC7 chip thing, but generally it sounds a lot better. I didn't even realize it was a NES tune from that shady MP3 from before. Is it possible to revise my votes?

Pretty good nostalgia pick, since I played that game a bunch back in the day. It was the first SNES title I owned. I've always enjoyed our ReMixes of that theme: Song: 'Sewer Surfin'' (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time) - OverClocked ReMix

No problem, bro, I hope you liked at least one of those OC ReMixes. Now that we have 3 mixes of Sewer Surfin' and none primarily focused on the other themes, the running joke now is "Hey, there are other themes from that game to remix besides "Sewer Surfin'!"

Not that those mixes kill the theme at all (they're all good and the theme's good), but I can't wait to hear someone do a great arrangement of some of the other themes. Not every theme was as top tier as Sewer Surfin', but I don't think I could say there was a bad stage theme in the bunch. If someone did justice to "Neon Night Riders", I'd be a very happy VGM fan.

Port Town is such a fun tune to beat stuff up to. I like how everything sounds so clean despite the limited SNES sound. And the bass line is pretty awesome, too. Now that's been mentioned, it does resemble my previous Savage nomination. I guess I have a thing for weird vocal samples in my vgm. Glad you also liked it, Rimo.

And I would have given at least two points to Gimmick if it was any other track other than Good Weather. The game has much better tracks than this, like Aporia or Strange Memories of Death.

Cooking Mama - Track 2 was about the only track with some personality and charm this week.

Unfortunately, it is mandatory to distribute all six of your allotted points, else none of your votes count.

Though, perhaps you didn't know you have up to six points to award. Well, you do. You may distribute them amongst the nominated tracks as you like, provided two conditions:
  • No track is awarded more than three points.
  • You do not award more than one track a full three points.

Basically, the legal distributions are as follows:

3-2-1
2-2-2
3-1-1-1
2-2-1-1
2-1-1-1-1
1-1-1-1-1-1

What this boils down to is that each voter winds up offering support to at least three of the tracks. It's impossible to vote for fewer and have your votes count.

So, if you see this before sometime after midnight tonight, Dyesan, please amend your points accordlngly. Thanks.

lol

Well, I'm personally disappointed with this result since the gold and silver placings were the two tracks I found least interesting/enjoyable. Also, ouch for Gimmick and Mama. Some muddled up placings this week!

I'm glad Söldner-X Himmelsstürmer got top spot. I was kind of rooting for it.

I might have been ignorant for the longest time but CHz, when did you become a moderator?!

Gah, I would've voted but I've been without Internet since Thursday (and still am, logged on at the library atm). That's what I get for always waiting till Sunday.

I believe I also considered nominating Strange Memories of Death (not familiar enough with the track titles to say for sure). I went with Good Weather after it got stuck in my head every day for a week (it's extremely catchy). It's a fun bouncy track that I really enjoy.

Two weeks ago. It's okay!

Just a heads-up: I'll be moving cross-country starting tomorrow morning, so someone else may have to create this coming week's voting thread since I'll possibly be without steady 'net access for a few days.

Hell nah, I picked the top 4 in a different order, but I loved the placings. That's basically how it should have went, since the rest couldn't hang. You lack the pulse of the people! :-P (I will conveniently abandon said rationale once I vote out of step with any future collective voting.)
