There's nowhere I can't reach.

wesomenauts - Wormhole Surfing This track has a (predictably, I suppose) awesome sound, but it really needs a stronger melody. The one that it's got is almost inaudible over that awesome bass line.

EST HIT YCO - ECO-G feat. mioco I'm not sure what those girls were shouting "echo dream" about. Certainly not the pretty bleh music around them, 50% watered-down J-Pop and 50% repetitive 80's style bass.

ig Brain Academy (Game Rip) - Title This soung sounds like it was produced on carefully tuned babies.

eath Crimson History - Mercenary Interesting mix of jungle sounds and stadium sounds here. Individuals moments are pretty neat but there are a bunch of times when all the momentum goes out of the music. Neat but flawed.

mage Fight -G.S.M. IREM 1- - FOREST It fulfils the letter of the "generic action track" but doesn't bring much new to the table.

nMomentum - Zoned In The voices are the big draw here, first chopped up and later unmodified. But there's also plenty of room for some really great electronica.

aze no Klonoa - door to phantomile Original Soundtrack - THE RING Before you die, you see hear it. People's hyperbolic praise for Klonoa is sometimes notwithstanding, to the uninitiated it's a solid but not spectacular soundscape that's trying to go in too many directions at once.

ushihimesama Double Arrange Album - The Black Shell Beast King (Stage4) Cool is right, in both temperature and the kind of sunglasses this kind of jazz fusion evokes. This sort of thing isn't really my cup of tea, but I can recognize it as well-done regardless.

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

So I'd like to close voting and such in CHz's stead, but we only have 5 noms which is even too small a number for a stunted half-week.

Nom it up, people!

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

We got the votes, we got the noms, let's close this biatch. By the power temporarily vested in me by CHz:

1). [11] inMomentum - Zoned In
2). [10/6.5] Death Crimson History - Mercenary
3). [10/6] Mushihimesama Double Arrange Album - The Black Shell Beast King <Stage4>
4). [9] Kaze no Klonoa: door to phantomile Original Soundtrack - THE RING
5). [6] BEST HIT YCO - ECO-G feat. mioco
6-t). [5/3] Awesomenauts - Wormhole Surfing
6-t). [5/3] Image Fight -G.S.M. IREM 1- - FOREST
7). [5] Big Brain Academy (Game Rip) - Title

I was speaking idiomatically.
