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

(3 points) Einhänder Original Soundtrack - [AFTERIMAGE] -Stage 6 #3 Versus Monitor-: I was surprised Einhander hasn't gotten more play. It's always been an underrated soundtrack to me. This has a nice methodical groove, and isn't as breakneck as some of the other (equally good) tracks on the soundtrack.

(2 points) Forza Motorsport 3 (Game Rip) - Simulated Physics: Some nice mellow electronica here.

(1 point) Public Enemy: The Dark Future (Game Rip) - Cold Fusion: Public Enemy the rap group? Some nice industrial elements to it, but not the strongest in melody and the best of what's left in a very samey week.

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

What's that? A week where I can't nombias it up? I am intrigued.

COMPOSERS - STEAM TRAIN Sax=good, SFX=bad. Bubbly synths=good, japbitchcantsing=bad. It's almost a precise wash of the sublime and the irritating. If there was an instrumental only version I might find a way to give it six points.

Einhänder Original Soundtrack - [AFTERIMAGE] -Stage 6 #3 Versus Monitor- I have to confess that I regularly get Einhander and Ehrgeiz mixed up. Criminal, I know. This music is generally sublime technopop, though, which is something I can get behind no matter what game it came from.

Forza Motorsport 3 (Game Rip) - Simulated Physics More techno, this time with a more laid-back feel. I don't generally like racing music cuz it tends heavily toward the boring side of sonic wallpaper, but this ain't bad.

Galway Remixed - Comic Bakery [Title] The third straight bit of techno. I don't see anything particularly comic or bakerylike here, but once again the techno is solid enough to make it a decent listen. Anyone wanna link the original for a comparison?

Lumines Remixes - Big Elpaso As opposed to the better-known Little Elpaso. Sorry CHz, but while I can see this as being groovy against a backdrop of glowing blocks, it does zip for me as a standalone.

NO MORE HEROES ORIGINAL SOUND TRACKS - Walking on Leaves Strange, unsettling, and downright weird. Also repetitive and headache-inducing.

Public Enemy: The Dark Future (Game Rip) - Cold Fusion Like a DJ scratch-off without the vox. Probably pretty good for those who like this sort of thing, but just painful for those who dinnae.

Tongari Boushi to Mahou no 365 Nichi Original Soundtrack - Disco Days Not really disco per se, but there's some nice synthiness going on.

The point Spread
Afterimage - 3 pts.
Disco Days - 2 pts.
Steam Train - 1 pt.

"Simulated Physics" is my favourite track this week, its fluid electronica edges out the crisp melody of "Disco Days". I don't really know what happened in those last two but I do know that I love wtfvgm. Strange week---samey in places, but interesting overall.

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

Some very interesting tracks this week.

Woo-hoo, back on top! Take that haters. Nobody believed we could do it but the guys in this locker room. (I may have recycled that joke from the last time I won, but it doesn't matter.)

There's nowhere I can't reach.
