Song of the Week - WEEK 97 Voting/WEEK 98 Nominating

I was quite oblivious to the fact that Sakamoto's track was composed before VGM started appearing in games. :P Thought the grey ruling that the independent works by VGM artistes can be nominated for SotW would make Sakamoto's "Technopolis" eligible. But I see the point that a line must be drawn somewhere.

I'm inclined to disqualify independent works by VGM artistes from SotW if they are used specifically for film/anime etc and are not stand alone albums. I think stand alone albums are fine irregardless of whether they are composed before or after the artiste started composing VGM. I don't quite see how composing a stand alone album after composing VGM makes it more a game related album. But I guess it's a convenient cut-off point for clarity.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Here's my next nomination:

* Album Title: OZ Original Soundtrack
* Artist: Michiru Yamane
* Track Title: The Wingless Angels ~Requiem~
* Source: http://www.gmronline.com/info.asp?CatNumber=GFCA-3~4
* Disc Number: 2 (of 2)
* Track Number: 7
* Catalogue Number: GFCA-3~4
* Year: 2005

My votes for this week. This was kind of tough and I would have wanted to give more tracks points. I'm surprised "Boss" wasn't nominated in the Best Chiptune Contest (or at least I don't remember it) because it's really good!

(2 points) Black Belt (SMS Game Rip) - Boss

(2 points) Within a Deep Forest (Game Rip) - Diamond Meditation

(2 points) SUDEKI Original Soundtrack - New Brightwater

Lennus was the closest to getting a point but seriously, there are a few other tracks I'd have liked to assign points to.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Wah. Where did that come from... I didn't expect "Diamond Meditation" to place at all. Thanks to everyone who liked and enjoyed the song. And a big thank you to Darkcomet for introducing me to Nifflas' terrific games. Sorry for stealing a potential nomination of yours!
