Song of the Week - WEEK 55 Voting/WEEK 56 Nominating

After a trip down memory lane with SotY, it's nice to hear new material! Decided to get voting done now since I have the rare opportunity to take a break from school today. Well, sort of.

(3 points) Raystorm Neu Tanz Mix - Aquarium
I found myself lost in this song. It's very good and even more surprising, it's an arrangement from Raystorm. Hearing the dolphins and waves (nice touch, by the way), I thought it was an Ecco track. Then again, I haven't heard a lot of Ecco. :P

(2 points) Tales of Legendia Original Soundtrack - Tomorrow Will Surely Be Sunny
I gave the game a short spin the other day and rather liked some of the themes. This was one of them. Nicely done melody interwoven with great little passages, it has an air of adventure that's infectious.

(1 point) Agatha Christie - And Then There Were None (Game Rip) - walkingaround01
Didn't realise there was actually an Agatha Christie game. The music is chillingly good and I imagine it must work very well in the game. I like the heavy overtones that give the song that "Who dun' it?" quality.

And the rest...

All Over Xanadu - The Resurrection of Dragon
After listening to the Agatha Christie track, this was almost like a more upbeat extension of aforementioned song. At least in the beginning. :P This Xanadu track is not quite as unique as "walkingaround01" but it has a rather strong early 90s quality that I like.

Battle Arena Toshinden 4 (Game Rip) - Track 21
These fighter type games sure have interesting music. I rather like this track. It's almost like a mild mannered cousin of ZUN's songs. Probably has to do with the use of electronics and the piano.

Lode Runner - The Legend Returns (Red Book Audio) - Abandoned Mines ~ Music
This is somewhat more interesting and satisfying than the other Lode Runner song featured many weeks ago. It's music like this that make exploring game environments a joy.

Metal Gear - Solid Snake Music Compilation of Hideo Kojima - Red Disc - Sneaking Mission
Actually considered nominating from the same album at one point. In any case, "Sneaking Mission" has some very interesting pseudo Indian elements, which I only realised today.

The Sims 2 (PC Game Rip) - CAS
This was very close to getting a point. It does suffer a bit without a bridge between different sections of the song but thankfully the breaks don't break the flow of the song too much. The themes are very pleasant and slightly pastoral, which makes for good easy listening. Also thought the song was a refreshing change.

Actually, the "Theme of Road Avenger" fits the intro video very well. It has this campy 80s charm not unlike other cartoons from that era. Sadly, I'm not really into car racing.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
