What's this Cartagra track in the voting directory?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

That was the ninth track in the queue. Looks like it got prepared and uploaded too. It should appear next week, so I moved it back out into the nominations folder.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

It's the only other song in the nomination queue so Rimo saved himself some time next week and uploaded it

I suppose he was saying, in that subtle manner of his,
Please nominate something

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

2 points: Spore Hero Original Videogame Score - Spore Hero Main Theme
1 point: Lost Child Original Sound Track from S.S.H Side-A - Dead Alas

Man, when was the last time I voted first?

I like the Lagoon 2 theme more, but this one rules too. FotF is a great soundtrack, one of Motte's best.

I was really close to giving the last point to Soy Sauce on Geese or Caves of Iya instead, but my S.S.H. bias was too great to overcome.

You kids have fun, I'll see you next week.

FELIPE NO

Very nice week.

3 points - Fury of the Furries (PC Game Rip) - Lagoon
I'm actually much more familiar with the Cyborg Jeff arrangement of this track, which I first heard many years ago. However, this is a great composition and Mr. Motte deserves due credit.

2 points - Super Nova (Game Rip) - Bio
Pretty nice. Best new track I've heard this week.

1 point - Wrestle Angels SURVIVOR2 Original Soundtrack - At the Top
There were a lot of decent tracks this week. I think this might be my favorite of the remaining lot.

I have a nomination! Holy crap!

Game: Red Faction II (game rip)
Composer: Dan Wentz, Franky Vivid, Kate Marlin-Nelson
Track: light02
Track #: n/a
Catalog #: n/a
Year: 2002
Source: Game Credits for Red Faction II
Additional Info: Track (and title) taken directly from the windows source files. Unfortunately they're already encoded as 128kb/s MP3 files, which I believe are the same files used in game, so there's no chance of a higher quality rip, unless it's a console version; I don't really know. Uploading the 128kb/s version.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I remember listening to Rimo's 'Fury of the Furries' rip a while back, and I really enjoyed it. Fury of the Furries (PC Game Rip) - Lagoon is groovy featuring a slick combination of musical styles. There isn't a real hook to bring me back for more, but even with this drawback I can't deny the fun value here.

Lost Child Original Sound Track from S.S.H Side-A - Dead Alas has typically awesome S.S.H guitar which is backed up by an engaging and driving melody from start to finish. Then again I, too, am sshbiased.

I can't help but compare Real Bout Garou Densetsu SPECIAL Arrange Sound Trax - Soy Sauce on Geese (Geese Howard) to "11th Street" Garou Densetstu track, one of my earliest and favourite SotW discoveries. This is a mild disappointment in that regard, and sounds more generic than creative. In another damning piece of bad luck, I can't help but compare this track to the S.H.H track before. Stop walking under ladders and seeing black cats everywhere, Geese Howard.

I generally like Winifred Phillips' light and whimsical orchestral style, and Spore Hero Original Videogame Score - Spore Hero Main Theme doesn't disappoint. It's soft, but it's got enough textural variety to keep me interested, and I'm a sucker for the pastoral instrumentation. Pleasant and unassuming!

Super Nova (Game Rip) - Bio is boring and static for much of its duration, but in contrast to the uplifting brass section, which sports a strong melody, it actually works. As a complete package, this track is a nice build-up-->payoff sort of listen.

Söldner-X 2 - Final Prototype (Game Rip) - Caves of Iya finds a great balance between atmosphere and melodic drive, making for quite the enjoyable 6 minute romp. My only problem is that it gets somewhat bogged down in the end, tending to sound repetitive. Still, it's a minor blemish in what is otherwise an excellent piece of music!

I can't really get behind Tokimeki Memorial 2 Vocal Tracks - Akane Ichimonji Image Song Don't worry ~Im fine by myself. It just sounds like your run-of-the-mill Japanese Tokimemo pop song. With cheesy sax of course.

Wrestle Angels SURVIVOR2 Original Soundtrack - At the Top is the only real notable track on the second Westle Angels soundtrack, sadly. But boy is it a mighty highlight. It's dazzling, triumphant and elegant in one crisp, breezy melodic package. The development is solid with a cute pizzicato interlude; and the acoustic guitar adds a nice contrast to the other more electronic sections.
