The opening of Silver Surfer is definitely the biggest highlight out of all these tracks, by the way.

(From CHz on the last thread)
Sure, thanks for finding a better version!

I'll quote something from a previous thread too!

orion thought this track was from Gravity Hook, but I looked into it and I'm pretty sure that it's an original composition. dB's body of work consists of soundtracks to web games, which naturally don't have a lot of music; four of the games he lists on his site have 3 or 4 pieces of music, and the fifth one has 6*. He's done music for seven games that I could find: Fathom, Dr. Dobb's Challenge Deuce, Meat Boy, Blush, Gravity Hook, Grey Matter, and Spewer.

I'm more than fine with this nomination, but I'm just throwing this out there in case anyone has reservations.

*: Although he doesn't necessarily list all the music he wrote for the game. Fathom, for example, he only lists 2 pieces, but the game did include at least one additional piece of music, a piece that we actually had in SotW a few weeks ago. Then again, that tune was directly related to a twist in the game.

Really, it's dB's own fault for not keeping his crap straight and leaving the poor SotW staff to clean his room :D

Listening to these Battle tracks again, it seems things actually worked out pretty well these last few weeks. Some fine stuff here.

The Point Spread
Vinel Island - 3 pts.
Title - 2 pts.
Forest Falls - 1 pt.
PoFoo - close

Pretty easy to decide. Only two of the eight winners were ones I had in first place, though the quality is not bad across the board.

(2 points) L'esprit de l'exil - Canary Creeper

(1 point) Fantasy Earth - Zero (Game Rip) - Vinel Island

(1 point) Toki Tori (WiiWare rip) - Forest Falls

ToBi DIVINE was very close to getting a point and I was almost tempted to give Silver Surfer as well. The latter has grown on me a bit.

And my new nomination:

* Album Title: Yann van der Cruyssen's website (see Note)
* Artist: Yann van der Cruyssen (Nurykabe)
* Track Title: Baluchons
* Source: Game Credits for Knytt Stories ; http://www.nurykabe.com/Music
* File Location: Nominations folder
* Disc Number: NA
* Track Number: NA
* Catalogue Number: NA
* Year: 2007
* Note: This is a remix of "Confiant" from Knytt Stories on the original composer's (Nurykabe) website. Decided not to go with the original MP3's album tag which used "Knytt Stories OST" as the game tracks on Nurykabe's website only consist of his tracks and remixes, and not the other composers of the game.

Just Missed: Level Theme 2

Top quality BATTLE, well varied. I've been listening to Around the World way too much, there's no way I can't give it less than 3 points.

I'm being pretty mean to Level Theme 2, not giving it any points here and during it's week. Blame it on the competition.

Additional Spam:
Hey guys it's been a while since I've nominated a:

Composer: Norio Hanzawa (NON), Tsuyoshi Kaneko (who)
Game: Astro Boy: Omega Factor (game rip)
Track: Marine Express (Stage 5)
Year: 2004 (parenthesis)
Source: Astro Boy: Omega Factor for Game Boy Advance - MobyGames, http://www.mrmonkeyman.com/treasure/ost/astroboyof.txt
Additional Info: Track taken from the rip at MrMonkeyMan's site, which lacks the ever important "(Stage 5)" in the title. Also, I have no idea who Tsuyoshi Kaneko is, nor what his involvement with the score has been.

Uploading to the FTP shortly.

Man there really is a gap between the top and bottom 4 this week. Awesome result though, and I've gotta say I sighed in relief when I saw "Vinel Island" came second. Seriously don't know why I can't get into that tune at all.

Yay!

First place!

Also, last place!
