Crash "Long-Winded Wrong Answer" Landon Nov 5, 2009 01:20 PM

It's freakin' Thursday. Doesn't it seem like the schedule for this is waaaaay off now?

I think this one should go until the end of next week so that things can get back to a more normalized pace.

Drakken Nov 5, 2009 01:51 PM

So I kind of stopped coming to GFF and taking part in SotW. I'm not sure why; I think it may have coincided with the beginning of the college semester and not being on the computer as much. Anyway, I see I missed a temporary transition to only six tracks; interesting. Also, I see someone refrained from protesting a nom because they didn't want to sound like me; got a laugh out of that.

Here's a nomination to help out with the current nom dearth. I'd vote too, but I didn't care for the selection of tracks this week and don't want to arbitrarily give out points.

Album: Ristar: The Shooting Star (Genesis rip)
Artist: Tomoko Sasaki
Track Title: Ring Rink
Track #: 10
Year: 1995
Info: From Juno's rip.

Comments: This was apparently in the BSC back in '04. I don't remember how far it got, but I imagine it should be OK. If too many people already know it, though, I'll be glad switch to another song from the game.


Not to go off-topic in this thread, but if someone could answer along with a SotW-related post - has there been any talk of an off-season music contest yet? Just curious.

Chuckster Nov 5, 2009 02:46 PM

ATTENTION ATTENTION

It's about time we had a theme week to liven things up around here. I pitched a couple ideas to Orion just to have a sounding board, and with his blessing I want to move forward with an idea for an upcoming week.

Unofficial title: One Minute (or Less) of Heaven

Explanation: Nominate your short songs that have no business being in this contest otherwise. I'll do so when I get home tonight. Do I have to say anything about it not looping, given we're running under a minute regardless?

Anyway, let's make the shortest but sweetest SotW possible. Who's in?

Crash "Long-Winded Wrong Answer" Landon Nov 5, 2009 03:02 PM

Awesome. I had this idea, with the same exact theme, a few months ago, but my own head is as far as it got.

I am able to make another nomination right now, but I will hold off until we have eight people willing to participate and able to make simultaneous nominations.

But consider this post a placeholder for my participation in the theme week if it happens. I've had my nomination in mind since July.

Drakken Nov 5, 2009 03:04 PM

Count me in! That was actually one of the ideas I liked for the next non-BSC contest, so maybe this will end up serving as a prelude. :)

I guess this means my Ristar nom will be on hold till after the theme week (assuming this takes place).

Ceft Nov 5, 2009 03:41 PM

Album Title: DESIRE "THE ORIGIN" - RYU UMEMOTO RARE TRACKS Vol.2

EDIT: I doubt I'll go next week, but if I do, then ignore my nom.

ZiggyGo Nov 5, 2009 03:42 PM

Count me in as well. I'll think of some nominations within the next couple of days.

orion_mk3 Nov 5, 2009 04:20 PM

I'm ready willing and able to participate in Chuckster's themeweek. My existing nom can be kicked back to my next slot if it winds up happening next week. I've got a 58-sec beauty that's just begging for a go.

I'm okay with this, if people want an extra week. I haven't felt particularly stressed about late starts because most everyone waits until the weekend to vote anyway, although last week had a low votal total based partly on the tracks being put up late.

SuperSonic's been planning a Sonic series contest in his journal, but he hasn't said anything about it since July when he said he was thinking about getting nominations up in August or September so uh.

I've had a track with a thirty-two second loop length on my nomination list for months, and I assure you it has business being in this contest otherwise. :mad:

Muzza Nov 5, 2009 06:56 PM

Sweet idea, Chuckster. :) I think that could be key to bringing momentum back to SotW: theme weeks. I'll be sure to find a < 1 minute track to nominate in the next few days or so! (How strict would the nomination criteria be though? Strictly 1 minute, or thereabouts?)

And would it be too far fetched to suggest freezing SotW until Monday or whatever, to help restore a certain sense of 'routine'?

Honestly, I think voting should open/close around the day with the least voters. If most people are voting during the weekends, it makes more sense to close things out and start things up in the middle of the week.

Additional Spam:
I have a perfect nomination for a <1 min track. When are we planning to do this? Should my nomination be sent privately? I definitely want in.

Assuming I have enough time to nominate something before getting into the One Minute of Heaven week, here is my standard nomination:

=== Kaleb.G ===
* Album: PHANTASY STAR ONLINE Blue Burst EPISODE IV SOUND TRACK
* Artist: Hideaki Kobayashi
* Composer: ---
* Disc #: 1 of 1
* Track #: 02
* Track Title: Nostalgia in Solitude -PART1-
* Catalogue Number: N/A
* Year: 2005
* Additional Info: This album is awesome. Too bad I can't find anywhere to buy it.
* Source: N/A: Phantasy Star Online: Blue Burst Episode IV Sound Track - VGMdb, #gamemp3s
* File Location: nom folder; comin' on up

Again, this nomination should be postponed if it prevents me from entering into the One Minute of Heaven week. Thank you.

ZiggyGo Nov 6, 2009 12:49 AM

Well, here's my One Minute (or Less) in Heaven nomination (are we posting them here?):

Album: Chaos World
Composers: Iku Mizutani, Hiroyuki Iwatsuki

Track #: 28
Track Title: Are's Theme
Catalogue Number: TKCA-30392

Elorin Nov 6, 2009 04:20 AM

Great theme week idea. Haven't had those in ages and I do have some tracks under one minute that I've considered nominating but stopped short because of playtime issues. Just tell me whenever this is starting and I'll have my nom ready.

Like CHz said, people (me included) have pitched ideas in their journals, but nothing's come of it. I think the huge number of song contests that swamped the board after this year's BSC sort of put everybody off it, frankly.

FantaVision Original Soundtrack - INFINITY (PRIMARY) There are a few touches to liven things up, but this song spends far too much time in Dull Trance Land.

The Legend of Heroes Piano Collection - Dragon Apparently this dragon is a fun guy to be around, since his song is all about high energy ragtime-style goodness. Piano tracks usually ivory my keys, and this one's a treat.

Max Payne (Game Rip) - Killer Suits It's got the badassery I'd expect from Det. Payne, but isn't really that remarkable otherwise.

Prince of Persia The Sands of Time Original Sound Track - Discover the Royal Chambers There's a certain genre, let's call it "Arabian Rock Opera," that I really enjoy but that doesn't get nominated too often. Planescape Torment's "Credits." "Fight in the Lobby" from Cold Winter. I was really hoping for something like that here, and while the necessary guitars are there, precious little else is.

Shinobi X (Game Rip) - Sakyou (Stage 2 Midboss) A nice little piece with the oriental flair I'd expect from something called "Sakyou" but ultimately not a whole lot on the memorability scale.

The Sims 2: Nightlife - The Sims Theme (Junkie XL remix) I've generally enjoyed the Sims music, whether by house composers, Mothersbaugh, or even Jablonsky. I wouldn't count this at the top of the heap, or even close, but it's pleasant and upbeat.

Tekken 5 & Tekken Dark Resurrection Original Soundtrack - Pink Pop Now *this * is what I mean when I say rock opera. Synths, guitars, and vocals working together for cheesy yet cool effect. Excellent.

Twinkle Star Sprites - LONGING ~ RE-BIRTH (Ending & Staff Roll) I guess with a title like that I expected something, I dunno, Kirbyesque. But the ultimate combination of synths, beats, and piano this song cooks up is probably better.

It's very convenient for voting's sake that there are three standouts this week.

The Point Spread
Dragon – 2 pts.
Pink Pop – 2 pts.
Longing Rebirth – 2 pts.

One Minute Nom
Track Title: Just Ad Nauseum
Album: Halo Wars

60 Second Nomination

Album: Other Life ~ Azure Dreams Original Game Soundtrack
Composer: Hiroshi Tamawari
Title: THEME of FUR GOTS
Track Number: 5
Year: 1997
Catalog Number: KICA-7808
Additional Notes: This one just scrapes in at 0:59! Maximum tunage!

THE POWER OF WATER Nov 6, 2009 06:21 PM

Well if we're doing this now then I'd better claim a track from the king of Genesis short tunes:

TheKnightOfNee Nov 7, 2009 06:10 PM

Oh man, the under one minute theme sounds good. Here's one for that.

Album: Wurm: Journey to the Center of the Earth (NES Game Rip)
Artist: ?
Track number: 1
Track Title: Title
Year: 1991
Info: It's about 25 seconds long, so with a loop and fadeout, it'll still be under a minute.

Muzza Nov 8, 2009 05:03 AM

Well FantaVision Original Soundtrack - INFINITY (PRIMARY) is guaranteed at least a point. It's a wonderful balance between the texture of shimmering techno and the rhythm of bouncy synth pop. Great track. Could get 1 point or 2 depending on how the rest of the week is.

The Legend of Heroes Piano Collection - Dragon is fantastic fun from the word go. The ragtime sound is done with class, and doesn't come across as crude or silly whatsoever. I'm not familiar with any pre-VI 'Legend of Heroes' tracks, but I'm sure this is a wonderful arrangement. Tough competition so far, good to see!

I enjoyed the grind of Max Payne (Game Rip) - Killer Suits. It manages to sound rough, while still retaining a sense of direction and purpose. Overall a bit too repetitive, but a decent track regardless.

I have a thing for Middle Eastern inspired world music (largely due to the whole sitar association), and Prince of Persia The Sands of Time Original Sound Track - Discover the Royal Chambers is pretty serviceable in its brief runtime. All the cliches of the genre are apparent and function nicely. An overriding melody or a more accessible rhythm would have really worked to this track's advantage though.

Shinobi X (Game Rip) - Sakyou (Stage 2 Midboss) overall didn't engage me, but there were some neat developments like 1:04. The synth background is a tad grating and detracts from an otherwise palatable melody. This one won't be getting points, but it's definitely not a heinous monstrosity.

The Sims 2: Nightlife - The Sims Theme (Junkie XL remix) is going to get overwhelmed among all class this week, I bet. A wonderful track of contrasts, this remix of the theme to The Sims 2 hits the spot for me on a number of levels. The development from chimes to strings is particularly sweet, and what's impressive is the way the electronic focus remains and helps drive and sustain the beats throughout. Just another instance of Junkie XL's creativity.

Tekken 5 & Tekken Dark Resurrection Original Soundtrack - Pink Pop fulfills my expectations of 'this should be catchy and bouncy' to an extent, but I can't help but feel that some elements of this one are a tad, I dunno, over the top?. The guitarin' is good once it gets going; but is the piano really necessary? :tpg: Niggles aside, it's a pretty fun listen!

oh I hear that flamenco bit it can't hide from me Twinkle Star Sprites - LONGING ~ RE-BIRTH (Ending & Staff Roll) doesn't take itself too seriously which is always nice to see. It makes for a really fun ride, with the smooth breakdowns and instrumental surprises (trumpets from nowhere, etc) proving to be a highlight (1:50).

"hey this is my POINT!" "no it's mine! dad tell him to give it back!"

2 points: The Sims 2: Nightlife - The Sims Theme (Junkie XL remix)
2 points: The Legend of Heroes Piano Collection - Dragon

Top quality this week. :) Competition was fierce; point distribution was a bitch.

Djinova Nov 8, 2009 12:43 PM

Votes coming like what, despite shift week. I had like 4 tracks that are equally strong so how do you vote in such a case?

1 Point - FantaVision Original Soundtrack - INFINITY (PRIMARY): an ambient piece, the highlight was past 2:28 I believe
1 Point - The Legend of Heroes Piano Collection - Dragon: some good and intricate piano, well I think it lack some last polish or so
1 Point - Shinobi X (Game Rip) - Sakyou (Stage 2 Midboss): I looked it up and it's as thought a ninja jump and run game? Can really imagine how the music works, it's very catchy
1 Point - Tekken 5 & Tekken Dark Resurrection Original Soundtrack - Pink Pop: hmm it's ordinary energy rock with some piano ladder works
2 Points - The Sims 2: Nightlife - The Sims Theme (Junkie XL remix): combines rather nicely catchy upbeat with cool nighty ambience

Nice week, I liked a good bunch of the songs and I had no idea how to distribute points. Good show! And by the way, does the Max Payne track skip for anybody else? I believe there was a better rip over at GH.

An ~8-minute SotW sounds awesome. I don't know if there's anymore slots open for a nominations, but I'm willing to participate in case you need one extra song. SotW could do with more theme weeks, you know. Last one I remember happening was percussion week...

As it so happens, Chuckster had not one but two cool ideas for theme weeks. I'm sure the other will be revealed and implemented in the fullness of time :)

Nomination #28 [60 seconds theme week]

Composer: Sue Kasper
Game Title: SimCity 2000 (PSX)
Track Title: Virtual Village
Track Number: 5

Additional Information: Trimmed the end of the track to fit with the "60 seconds or less" regulations. Loop is approximately 58 seconds long.

I could make a pun to do with FTP and virtual, but I'll spare the new theme week from such horror.

By my count, we have seven Gone in 60 Seconds (another clever pun title I should have thought of) nominations. I've been lazy about going through and picking out a nom, but I will have time tonight to do it.

That will give us a slate of eight. Can we say after that all systems are a go for doing this next week?

Elorin Nov 9, 2009 12:26 PM

Here are my votes for the week. The Sims 2 and Tekken 5 tracks were surprisingly good. The rest of the tracks were neat as well.

Next nom (for a normal week):

(2 points) The Legend of Heroes Piano Collection - Dragon
Reminded me of Charlie Brown. Much more cheerful than what I was expecting.

A little short, but sweet. Nice guitar work in the second half.


And here's a <60 sec. nomination for the special week:

1 point: RE-BIRTH (Ending & Staff Roll)
1 point: Sakyou (Stage 2 Midboss)
1 point: INFINITY (PRIMARY)
1 point: Dragon
1 point: Discover the Royal Chambers

Pretty much every song this week started out promising, but failed to deliver. Especially that Max Payne tune, that skip at the beginning severely hurt it.

EDIT: Even though the theme week sounds awesome, I have nothing to nominate for it. Actually I had tons, but checking my dearth of great <60 second noms took so long (because I had tons, you see) that all the slots apparently filled up. There was one track that immediately came to mind when I first saw the week proposed, but when I checked, the duration was 1:01, and I was all :(

Drakken Nov 9, 2009 09:32 PM

Here's the info for my 1-minute nom:

Album: Jikkyou Powerful Pro Baseball: Power Pro Music Stadium
Artist: Naoyuki Sato
Track Title: Entering Basic Skills
Disc #, Track #: Disc 1, Track 35
Year: 2003
Catalog #: KOLA-010~1
Source: VGMDB

Comments: I first heard this years ago but held off on nominating it for a regular SotW 'cause of its length (1:45 looped). A de-looped version is under a minute, so it should work nicely with this week.

I don't have the song with me at college; I'll upload it to the FTP when I go back home this coming weekend.

Muzza Nov 9, 2009 10:46 PM

So considering the amount of noms for the theme week (or the potential amount, since a couple of people want or are willing to participate but 'can't' due to numbers), would it be best to just extend the rules and have a SotW week with 10-12 tracks? Or would it be wiser to get a few more noms and stretch the theme week over two weeks?

Of course we could just cut it at 8 tracks and disregard some noms people such as Rimo and Drakken have posted, but that would be :(.

Chuckster Nov 10, 2009 12:50 AM

More the merrier. I think anywhere from 12-16 tracks will be a treat, and make for some really wide spread voting.

Also, a big screw you to Kaleb for jumping on one of the save themes from the Resident Evil series. I would have done the same thing.

Anyway....

Album: Grim Fandango Original Game Soundtrack
Artist: Peter McConnell
Track Title: Hector Steps Out
Disc #, Track #: Disc 1, Track 5
Year: 1998

And for my votes:

By the way, I don't know why the Max Payne track skips. It's my nom, it sounded fine on my computer, but it's not working right through the Flash Player. Oh well.

:tpg:

I think the one I picked is perhaps the most obscure of the series, and it's also my favorite. Despite being a non-numbered game, I think Code Veronica has the best Resident Evil soundtrack.

Ok, here's a shot at a track that's gone before you know it (assuming there's still room for nominations, somehow):

* Album Title: Reciting Maple, Dancing Ink
* Artist: Su Hongzhang (surname underlined)
* Track Title: Mechanical Dragon
* Source: °aÁÕ¼C¸vºë¸Ëª©¤ñ¸û
* File Location: Nomination folder
* Disc Number: 1 (of 1)
* Track Number: 36
* Catalogue Number: NA
* Year: 2002
* Note: The track comes from a compilation soundtrack CD (of two games) that came with a special edition of the Sword of Xuan Yuan 4 game. It's from an old Xuan Yuan game, a prequel to Xuan Yuan 4.

For what it's worth, I probably would have tabbed the RE Zero one. But I listened to the Code Veronica one and it's good.

If we're going to accommodate all of the tracks in one week vs. cutting it off at eight and doing another one later (giving the people who were passed up priority), I think it would probably be a good idea to increase the number of points to 8, 9, 10, whatever so that the votes don't get too diffuse. It would have to depend on how many tracks we actually get, I guess.

I'd leave it like it is. 8 tracks. Otherwise we'd have to increase the points and the runner up placing would also not be comparable to the rest. Also the notion of "8 minutes of sweetest SoTW" would also be for the kitchen sink.

There is no harm in reserving residual tracks for a next opportunity or just plain SoTW.

Alright, you guys convinced me.

Man, that Legend of Heroes track clipped all over the place while I was listening to it. Is it just me? It's not anything I did to it, because the originally nominated version does too.

Voting to close a little later tonight because we are officially back on schedule.

Ah nice result there. Very tight this week! Good to see, does the quality justice.

As for the one-minute theme week thing, sounds fair enough. 11 tracks is a tricky number to deal with anyway.
