Cardboard Box Assembler Original Soundtrack - Melvin is a Maniac Apparently when I turned away from a career in carboard box assembly I was shutting off a life of funk and rhythm. Decent funk.

GuitarFreaksV6 & DrumManiaV6 BLAZING!!!! Original Soundtracks - Chronos They weren't lying about the guitar freak part of this, though I don't hear much in the way of drum mania. Decent rock ballad.

Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure: The Official Soundtrack - Cave King's Salsa Salsa I was promised, and salsa I certainly recieved. Decent salsa.

I AM NOT A DJ - Inter1:Yellow/EightySix OH YES YOU ARE.

iBlast Moki 2 Original Soundtrack - Moki Pirate Land This has a very fun, happy, "Napple Tale" feel to it. Impressive.

Light Crusader - Boss Fight Hey, let's play random synth bits! That ought to ratchet up the tension during that pivotal boss battle.

Mighty Milky Way / Mighty Flip Champs OST - MMW - Title (Extended) *MY LUCKY STARR* Ordinarily I'm against the JBCS, but this is infectious enough to overcome that. The part from 1:15-1:45 rocks my world, as it should also rock yours.

The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Official Soundtrack - 2.0 Edition - A Nearly Peaceful Place Whoa epic Celtic orchestra with wordless vox. It's like they read my mind.

Title Extended - 3 pts.
Moki Pirate Land - 2 pts.
Nearly Headless Nick - 1 pt.

Let's just have Draconis and I split the gold and be done with it.

Or:

3 points: iBlast Moki 2 Original Soundtrack - Moki Pirate Land [^_____________^]

2 points: GuitarFreaksV6 & DrumManiaV6 BLAZING!!!! Original Soundtracks - Chronos [so cool! such happy guitar!]

1 point: Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure: The Official Soundtrack - Cave King's Salsa [awesome and very impressive for a DS tune in particular - dat guitar flourish...]

4th: Light Crusader - Boss Fight [love this sound font and will happily listen to the rest of this soundtrack]
5th: The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Official Soundtrack - A Nearly Peaceful Place [lovely but let's face it, it's been done to death]
6th: Cardboard Box Assembler Original Soundtrack - Melvin is a Maniac [odd yet lacking a distinct character, hence its low ranking]
7th: Mighty Milky Way / Mighty Flip Champs OST - MMW - Title (Extended) [saccharine overload? say it isn't so!]
8th: I AM NOT A DJ - Inter1:Yellow/EightySix [eh]

Really nice week! 3 saved.

Have a new nomination but not sure if it's allowed. It's a 2005 track by Troupe Gammage, Obsidian Window. Troupe wrote music for Within a Deep Forest, Mutant Mudds and other titles.

Catalog Number: N/A
Additional Information: Info about the game here

Everyone Loves Indie Tracks That Come Out Of Nowhere And Miraculously Find Their Way To The FTP (i think)

Thanks CHz. I wasn't very sure because the EP the nom comes from could have been released at a time before Troupe composed for games.

Anyways, decided to swap the original nom (which sounds like a B-side from a Nifflas game :P) to something a bit more uptempo and melodic from the EP.

EDIT
Votes! Actually, it was quite easy for me this week. And is that the first Vocaloid track on SotW?! And orion giving 3 points to the Vocaloid song?! This must surely be the End of Days.

(3 points) The Witcher 2 - Assassins of Kings Official Soundtrack - 2.0 Edition - A Nearly Peaceful Place

(2 points) Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure - The Official Soundtrack - Cave King's Salsa

(1 point) Mighty Milky Way - Mighty Flip Champs OST - MMW - Title (Extended)

2 points: Cardboard Box Assembler Original Soundtrack - Melvin is a Maniac
2 points: Mighty Milky Way / Mighty Flip Champs OST - MMW - Title (Extended)
1 point: Light Crusader - Boss Fight
1 point: Look You Have DJ in Your Name - All I'm Saying Is I'm Getting Mixed Signals Here
(this is good): Cave King's Salsa

True story: for BSC '012 I briefly considered doing an all Vocaloid list, and the MMW title theme was on it.

3 points: Cave King's Salsa
1 point: Boss Fight
1 point: Melvin is a Maniac
1 point: Title (Extended)
Just missed: Chronos, Moki Pirate Land

Woah man, that indie scene.

Great week.

I wanted to like Title, but it turned out to be more annoying than enjoyable. Light Crusader is a Treasure game, so it's awesome by default. Moki Pirate Land was more like ;______; than anything. It was that kind of happy. I felt that this Witcher track was no different than any other track with Gladiator style music. And finally, I have no association with the game, but Cave King's Salsa was the one track that really caught my attention. It kinda reminds me of Grim Fandango with its South-American flair, and the first few notes make me think of the first stage of Legendary Axe for some reason.

<2 points>: Moki Pirate Land
<1 point>: Melvin is a Maniac
<1 point>: Chronos
<1 point>: Cave King's Salsa
<1 point>: A Nearly Peaceful Place
Just missed/a tip of my hat: Title (Extended)

This was a very difficult week; I had to listen to the tracks multiple times through. Otherwise I would have given points before orion's <tumbleweed> comment. Almost all of the songs deserve a point, or more points than is possible to give them. Some of the 1-pointers above deserve at least two, most notably Melvin is a Maniac and Cave King's Salsa. Though I would say that Moki Pirate Land is the strongest of the bunch, so I couldn't NOT give it at least two...

Overall, VERY nice nominations, guys! :cool:

Both of you stop that.

oh my god :tpg: the rest of you guys suck!

and to boast more, I correctly voted for the top 3 tracks

next: I correctly predict orion's next nomination!

Not sure when this whole Draconis-Muzza thing started, but okay. Would have been shameless if I got this one too. You guys better pick up your game. Way to go, Muzza.

The tally's all good. Even when 1+2=9 suuuuuuuuuure.

I don't know how I managed to get that 9 into the table in the first place, but I did catch it right away. I then promptly forgot to fix it.

The Draconis-Muzza thing clearly screws with universal logic (also CHz's mind: he's having sleepless nights)

My sleep schedule was terrible long before you two somehow acquired a controlling interest in SotW Enterprises, don't kid yourself.

I'd like to see you try :D

Seriously though, 'grats guys.
