[SotW] Song of the Week - WEEK 126 Voting/WEEK 127 Nominating

Wandering: Well, this track has a certain Iwadare/Lunar quality to it. Great strings and piano creating a nice and tranquil tune.

Ocean: A very charming song. The latter half of the melody is pretty cool and ethereal. Excellent bassline throughout the whole thing.

Stage 1: The glacial fortress: Although having some good moments, it's still standard shmup music fare. Enjoyable, but nothing groundbreakingly new.

HIGH AND BROKEN: Sounds a bit muffled, and sort of generock. Again, nothing new for me. It's alright, but could have used a bit more spunk. Sometimes, it seems that the Japanese don't know how to rock enough.

Zone 4-1: Reminds me of Zelda music in some parts. The synthetic GBA sound is more apparent here than in Ocean. Not bad, but lacking a bit.

Amusementive Crime: What a weird name. This arrangement though is amusing, full of quirks and many good moments. Definitely, a winner.

Fall of Fall ~ Autumnal Waterfall: Why does all Touhou music sound the same? A bit repetitive, but still a good listen. And ZUN is fun, always.

Wreck of the Concepcion - Credits: Well, the production is top-notch that's for sure. The song itself sounds like it's trying to emulate Monkey Island music, although in a minimalistic style. I prefer my music to be more eventful.
