(lol was totally not expecting the Ninja track to sound like that) Yeah "Tidal Ecosystem" is pretty great. Could have come straight from the Opoona soundtrack. It sounds like an underwater circus. So many interesting thing going on. I may as well continue to Basiscape it up by doing this

Tidal Ecosystem
- TTHIS is in 5/8 time! (I like "odd time signatures") WOW

The Cardinal
- This goes through lots of different feels very subtly and I think that's cool!

Travel by Boat Through the Pillowy Waves
- TR-808 Ninjas

Frosty Moon on an Illusory Night - Key Change
- I like the sounds

Infuscomus
- I recognize many of the samples in this and they are nostalgic ones so cooool.

The True Enemy
- This is awesomely proggy and has A LOT OF 90s synths in it that I love Some of these synth pads remind me of lots of things i like i like AAAAA 11111 wow this is ultra-great I want to live in this song.

SAUSing it up these past two weeks. Listening to these tracks now. Not that we're in any peril of closing voting soon.

Edit:

I thought I really liked this week at first, but less so on subsequent listens.

(3 points) After 4406274 Days... - Tidal Ecosystem: Good call on the Opoona reference. I enjoyed the piano, as always, though there is other good stuff going on too.

(2 points) Inindo: Way of the Ninja - Travel by Boat Through the Pillowy Waves: A lot of off-beat charm in this one. Would have been perfect for Beyond Good & Evil back in the day.

(1 point) Legend of the Ancient Sword Original Sound Collection - Frosty Moon on an Illusory Night - Key Change: A little short and fleeting, but appropriately moving.

Whoa, when was the last time the winning nomination got votes from every voter? o.0'

e: A quick search reveals it was "Snow Fox" back in week 237

"BORDER DOWN -Sound Tracks- - Snow Fox (stage 5)" is a great piece of music in my opinion. I would consider that to be deserved!!!
