[SotW] Song of the Week - WEEK 164 Voting/WEEK 165 Nominating

Lots of unusual stuff this week. I like it.

1 point: PROTMIND ~THEME~
1 point: Menus
1 point: BEST FEELING!
1 point: Heavy Fog
1 point: Eternal Traveler -full version-
1 point: Iza Iza Main Dish! (Stage 5)

Aghhhhh, Eternal Traveler. I'm still baffled at it's inclusion in Exzeal, and as a Stage 5 theme no less, considering it's just a vocal version of the stage 4 theme in the previous game Trizeal, which came out almost 3 years earlier! The vocal version isn't even original, it was featured in the [urlhttp://vgmdb.net/album/6910]Trizeal bonus disc[/url] 2 years ago. I don't know. Can't complain about the song itself, though.

I'm liking the drum programming in Best Feeling, along with how the string pads and the keyboard alternate for some ungodly reason.

PROTMIND ~THEME~ is just so ridiculously cool, it would probably get more points if the solo at 3:28 wasn't completely bonkers.


My next nomination:

Composer: Masanao Akahori
Album: Cybernator (SNES rip)
Track: Till the Crack of Doom (Final Stage)
Track #: 11 on SPC set
Catalog #: N/A
Year: 1992 (1993 in NA if that's required)
Source: Game profile: Assault Suits Valken ~ SNESmusic.org
Request: Please PLEASE PLEASE leave the -(Final Stage)- on the title; the little bit of context makes a world of difference in this case.
Additional Notes: There IS a soundtrack release for this, but damned if I could find it. I'll be uploading to the FTP shortly.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
