I'm glad someone's finally come out and said it. I love Touhou music, I've even nominated a couple of tracks from it, but I do tend to feel ZUN is overrepresented around these here parts.

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

Seconded. I even used Touhou music as an example of an obscure game by "regular" gamers' standards with an (almost obnoxiously) well-known soundtrack among game music fans. I don't really think it belongs, even if I did give a point to it in the voting stage (but it's not like I'm gonna vote things down just cause they don't fit, I just judge the music).

I was speaking idiomatically.

You don't know how sad that makes me

Anyway, my next potential nom: My next (potential) nom:

• Game: Gun Viper
• Track: Stage 1
• Year: 2002
• Composer: ??? (MudiO)

Gun Viper is a freeware PC shooter with a phenominal orchestral soundtrack that I would like to nominate from. However, knowing the mind-boggling reputation of Freeware shooter music (Jesus Christ multiple games with the exact same songs the hell), I know that some of this won't fly with the eligibility crew.

Main page: NAGA Homepage
The music can be downloaded seperately in the download section.

Manual: Team Mark-N Page
Includes a link to what is apparently the BGM (composer's?) web site: MudiO

Links: Team Mark-N Page
Same as above, only with a thumb for it's front page. The site format looks to be similar.

MudiO: http://homepage2.nifty.com/mudio/
Why am I so Forbidden

The song: MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service (Megaupload link)

The song loops, as does the rest of the soundtrack, and not in a poor choppy manner.

The main problem here is that I have no idea whether or not the song was created for the game or not, and I don't know if it's even possible to find out. Could we let a nom in on the notion that a song is "most likely" composed for the game?

I am going to have to contest the eligibility of this nominations on the grounds that it is too good for SotW.

I'm dead serious

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Apparently not. I noticed you disapproved of my nom over at the STC forums...to be honest, I didn't think much of it at first either, but it really grew on me, barely winning over Casino Paradise Act 2 and Egg Rocket as my choice this week.

FELIPE NO

Don't get me wrong, I love the music in Sonic Advance, to an extent greater than any of the genesis soundtracks. Ice Mountain zone is just probably my least favorite set of stage themes, and by no means do I hate them at all.

My post was referring to Crash's voting for AERITH'S THEME over Egg Rocket zone (My #1 nom) back in the BSC '06, despite being very vocal against the inclusion over the former. Why couldn't he have been more enthusiastic for it back then? (Not attacking you, Crash, just pointing stuff out)

How ya doing, buddy?

Hehe. I'm sure there have been other tracks as good nominated, as unlikely as that seems.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Such a radical claim cannot go untested.

After many intense hours of research and listening, I have finally managed to compile an extensive list of songs previously nominated in SotW that are indeed just as good, or even better, than Fly to the Leaden Sky. Included are said songs, and an in-depth analysis on why those songs are better.

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

Based upon this theory, I will abstain from future nominations until such time as "Fly to the Leaden Sky" has passed voting.

There is no sense marching into a losing war.
