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

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

Jam it back in, in the dark.

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?

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:

How ya doing, buddy?
