2 Points: PULSTAR - MISSION (Title Demo)
1 Point: Hotosenaru Uta Chitosenaru Shirushi (Game Rip) - BGM05

Overall, this was a pretty solid assortment. I didn't dislike any of them.

I'm also going to hold off on a new nomination until the Chris Huelsbeck nom has passed. I know that album inside and out, and I'm not gonna even try to compete against that.

I had my point spread set as soon as I saw the track lineup, but BGM05 was a surprise worth taking a point from Pulstar for. I've had those Project-μ rips on my hard drive but I've never bothered to actually check them out, maybe I should.

Speaking of things I should do, I can't believe this is the first nomination from the first Jikkyou Powerful Pro album. I need to get on nominating every single other track from it.

Just nominate another Chris Huelsbeck song.

Very nice selection this week. Point distribution was more difficult than the previous One Minue of Heaven week.

Hey everyone! I'm back to GFF after a nasty illness and ready to get back into the habit of SotW and my old thread creation job :)

Some quick points to get back in the swing of things:

Hector Steps Out - 3 pts.
BGM05 - 1 pt.
Entering Basic Skills - 1 pt.

Might as well nominate something too. I notice that my last nomination managed all of 8th place without me to shepherd it so hopefully this one does better:

How did I not give a point to: Bionic City, MISSION (Title Demo)

I really don't want to say that this <60 minute week was better than the previous one because I actually have a nom in it but THIS <60 MINUTE WEEK UTTERLY ANNIHLATED THE PREVIOUS ONE WOOOOOOO YEAHHHHH TEAM B REPRESENT

Only track I wasn't a fan of is the Powerful Pro Baseball 9 tune, but aside from that this is seriously one of my favorite weeks of all time. I mean, I'm not even voting for the Pulstar track (though it's far from one of the better tunes in the soundtrack) this week is so good.

I was impressed with the quality of the noms this week.

2 pts. - Entering Basic Skills - A delightful, very feel good song. I've known about it for awhile (thanks, Goldfish) but never nominated it since even looped it's pretty short for SotW. It worked well for this week, though.
2 pts. - Hector Steps Out - I dig jazz.
1 pt. - Quick Advance - Mainly cause of the last 2/3 of the song with the drums.
1 pt. - Bionic City - This sounds really similar to another GG song that was in one of the BSCs. Enough so that I'm sure it's either the same composer or the same game.

Voting is closed and nominations are restricted!

<<1 Point>> Astérix and the Secret Mission (Game Rip) - Boss
<<1 Point>> Grim Fandango Original Game Soundtrack - Hector Steps Out: Slick!
<<1 Point>> Jikkyou Powerful Pro Baseball 9 (Game Rip) - Entering Basic Skills
<<1 Point>> Powerstrike II (Game Gear Game Rip) - Bionic City
<<1 Point>> PULSTAR - MISSION (Title Demo)
<<1 Point>> Sonic Shuffle (Game Rip) - Quick Advance

Maybe the first time that I use this point distribution, which speaks for itself of how good this week was.

Also, I am too late to put a nomination in Just Perfect!

Dinosaurs, did you send a PM to lightgem?

Holy Schnikes! Not only did a nom of mine win for the first time in forever, and not only did it execute a staggering late-game run to pull it out, but it won with me only giving it a single point.

Should I say it was fitting because this whole thing was my idea?
