3 points - F.I.R.E. (Game Rip) - Title
3 points - StarSweep Original Sound Track - Crystal Vision NOMINATION: Album: Leaf Piano Collection Vol.1 Composer: Shinya Ishikawa, Kazuhide Nakagami, Naoya Shimokawa, Takahiro Yonemura, Shinji Orito Arranged by: Ryuichi Katsumata Disk: 1 of 1 Track#: 01 Track Title: Brand New Heart Catalogue #: KICA - 1267 Year: 2002 Additional Info: Openning of PC Leaf 'To Heart'. |
Hey Liemtenshi,
I believe you aren't allowed to give more than 1 track 3 points, so you'll have to give one of those 2 points and another song 1 point, if this is the case. |

Though part of this is orion's fault. Why he doesn't have the rules for voting listed in the opening post is baffling. For everyone's reference: http://wiki.sotw.info/index.php/Voting_Phase Additional Spam: I don't expect this to get any points, but I like it, so here goes nothing: === Kaleb.G === * Album: Tokimeki Memorial: Densetsu no Ju no Shita De (SNES Game Rip) * Artist: Konami * Track #: 31 of 146 * Track Title: Fireworks * Year: 1996 * Additional Info: This track was titled "Holy House" in another rip I've heard, but the SNESmusic rip has it titled as "Fireworks", and that's the rip I'm using, so that's the title I'm using. GameFAQs lists the game title as "Tokimeki Memorial: Densetsu no Ki no Shita de". I have no idea which one is right, but I'm more inclined to go with SNESmusic on this one. Also, I don't know who composed this game, so I have the artist listed as "Konami". MobyGames doesn't seem to have this game in their DB. * Source: SNESmusic.org (game page) & GameFAQs * File Location: nom folder |
I didn't think my time for nomination would come around again so soon. Dunno how this one will do but I like the mood it presents:

Arrow Flash (Game Rip) - Stage 1 This piece is right on the cusp of doing something more interesting than the standard shmup shtick. It doesn't quite make it--doesn't quite deliver on that promise--but it's still a halfway decent cut above the usual drek. F.I.R.E. (Game Rip) - Title A little bloopy but still okay as chiptunes go. Icewind Dale The Soundtrack - Untitled (Return To Kuldahar) That's not the possible title I'd have used ("Kuldahar Under Siege" has much more of a ring to it), but a good song nonetheless. It's very eclectic for its length, offering up a snippet of the Kuldahar theme before segueing into high-energy battle music and wrapping up with a preview of the spooky Lower Dorn's Deep theme. Good stuff. Jazz Jackrabbit 3 (Game Rip) - Castle City Alex Brandon rarely disappoints, and I'm glad the music for JJ3 managed to crawl out of the rubble when the game collapsed. The lively tracker sound we all know and love is in full force here, with a great melody and some nice secondary effects to match. Keys of the city - The Diver Loungy 1980's style jazz that reminds me of Dave Grusin. As easy listening music it works, though the sound is undeniably cheesy. Maniac Mansion (NES Game Rip) - Flashbulb Funk (Michael's Theme) There's a reason that MM took the gold in the Best Chiptune Contest: it rules. Everything a good chiptune should be--melodic, rhythmic, and creative. Rise of the Triad: Dark War (Game Rip) - Goin' Down The Fast Way Much better than I expected, given that the game is from the era where tinny MIDI dominated and ruined PC soundtracks worldwide. There isn't a whole lot of substance, but the fast pace and frenetic synth runs almost make up for it. StarSweep Original Sound Track - Crystal Vision Almost as cheesy as Keys, but in a less dated way. The fact that the music is high-energy with a great melody helps quite a bit; I liked it a lot. Point allocation was really hard this week; good show everyone. The Point Spread Castle City - 2 pts. Crystal Vision - 2 pts. Return to Kuldahar - 1 pt. Flashbulb Funk - 1 pt.

Actually, I think I noticed it once before and never mentioned anything, so I suppose I'm not innocent here. |
What can I say? I'm a whore for Jazz Jackrabbit.

Anyhow, here's some points: 3 Points: Maniac Mansion (NES Game Rip) - Flashbulb Funk (Michael's Theme) 2 Points: Rise of the Triad: Dark War (Game Rip) - Goin' Down The Fast Way 1 Point: StarSweep Original Sound Track - Crystal Vision The bottom three did it for me this week. Thought I'd like the JJ3 song but it felt flat compared to Brandon's other works. |
Gotta vote today so here goes:
3 points: StarSweep Original Sound Track - Crystal Vision 2 points: Rise of the Triad: Dark War (Game Rip) - Goin' Down The Fast Way 1 point: F.I.R.E. (Game Rip) - Title Wow. That Rise of the Triad: Dark War song was awesome. I'll have to check out the rest of that game rip. |
This week was not so interesting to me, but not bad either.

3 points: F.I.R.E. (Game Rip) - Title
2 points: StarSweep Original Sound Track - Crystal Vision 1 point: Keys of the city - The Diver This week was great! I enjoyed 6/8 tracks (I found the JJ track oddly dry), and am absolutely loving "Title" and "Crystal Vision". Third point was difficult to allocate. |
3 points: F.I.R.E. (Game Rip) - Title
2 points: Rise of the Triad: Dark War (Game Rip) - Goin' Down The Fast Way 1 point: Keys of the city - The Diver Stage 1 was good fun too, I would have loved to give it a point. But in an outstanding week such as this, something usually ends up getting the shaft. Also, reppin first Spectrum song to make its way to SotW. Nomination:

<<3 points>> Keys of the city - The Diver
<<2 points>> Arrow Flash (Game Rip) - Stage 1 <<1 point>> Maniac Mansion (NES Game Rip) - Flashbulb Funk (Michael's Theme) |
3 points - Rise of the Triad: Dark War (Game Rip) - Goin' Down The Fast Way
2 points - F.I.R.E. (Game Rip) - Title 1 point - Jazz Jackrabbit 3 (Game Rip) - Castle City Edit: Nomination Artist: Slake (Takehiko Fujii) Album: Beatmania IIDX 9th Style Original Soundtrack Track Title: Breeding (Premium Party Mix) Disc #: 2 Track #: 24 Year: 2003 Catalog Number: KOLA-040~1 Source: http://vgmdb.net/album/1338 Other Info: Slake is amazing. I wanted to nominate another song, but something tells me sped up and distorted jazz vocal samples mixed with drum n bass sounds won't go over too well with most people. |
2 points: Arrow Flash (Game Rip) - Stage 1
2 points: Maniac Mansion (NES Game Rip) - Flashbulb Funk (Michael's Theme) 1 point: Jazz Jackrabbit 3 (Game Rip) - Castle City 1 point: Rise of the Triad: Dark War (Game Rip) - Goin' Down The Fast Way The combination of Dave Hayes and Dave Warhol is one of the most unstoppable duos in all of VGM (closest competition: Kenji Yamamoto and Masaru Tajima). Also I can't believe I'm in the same week not going points to tracks from Keys of the city and StarSweep. :( |
Huh, I'm not surprised JJ3 is not doing so well, just disappointed. Then again, if Tubelectric didn't place when it was nominated... XD
Game Title: Chex Quest 3 (Game Rip) Artist: Andrew Benson (drooben) Track Title: Space Port (E2M1) Year: 2008 Additional Information: Yes, it's a rip of Chex Quest 3 and a track from Chex Quest 2, but then again it's 3 that has all the episodes available. Source: Andrew Benson - Chex Quest Wiki |
2 points: Goin' Down The Fast Way
1 points: Untitled (Return to Kuldahar) 1 point: Flashbulb Funk (Michael's Theme) 1 point: Castle City 1 point: The Diver Just missed: Stage 1 I am 98% certain I heard that Rise of the Triad tune years before in some freeware game or flash movie or something online that wasn't Rise of the Triad, the melody just came straight back to me the first time I heard it here. I'm racking my head where the hell did I hear it from Quite a good week. Additional Spam: ------------- My next nom: Album: Pulstar Composer: Harumi Fujita, Yasuaki Fujita Track: Seen Through (Stage 2 BGM) Track #: 24 Catalog #: PCCB-0192 Year: 1995 Source: PCCB-00192: PULSTAR - VGMdb Additional Info: This should hopefully perform better than my previous nom from this soundtrack "Galactic Ruler", which is still badass and you all suck Can't FTP it up right now, so I've uploaded the tune to Megaupload.
