I need about 30 mins but I will be voting, so please keep things open. Thanks!

EDIT: Not too hard in the end to decide the points.

3 points: iXion - a reticent voice of song -conditional duty-
2 points: Ken Griffey Jr.'s Winning Run (Game Rip) - Main Theme
1 point: Game Music Concert 2 ~ The Best Selection - Wizardry V 'Opening'
Close: Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone (Game Rip) - Githyanki Ahead!

The Griffey track by Fischer went into such absurdly awful territory that, as it got worse, it somehow looped back around into being awesome as hell, something the Kingdom Grandprix track dreamt of accomplishing but didn't come close to. The Griffey track was so terrible. :-D

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Why would you specifically be "anti"-OC ReMix? Did we kick your mother?

But no, the cumshot usage didn't sway me at all. I heard it on the first listen, but didn't really pay much attention to it. 'Ili mentioned it last night when I was listening to the tracks again, but I wouldn't have even remembered without him mentioning it. That's a pretty dumb reason to give something a 3 though, but David's kidding anyway.

I'm a big fan of off-kilter tracks like "Quiet Voice -conditional duty-", though I also mentioned to CHz that a lot of Yack's material smokes this up. But yeah, I hear so many of them that I realize not to judge them off the first listen. 1:50-on was cool, and I liked the creativity in the sound programming. Beyond that, none of the other tracks came across as particularly strong.

How ya doing, buddy?

Not that I wanna covert you (I don't), but that's certainly interesting. We should do a topic about that. Do you feel the same way about arrange albums where the arrangement is vastly different from the original track, or it OCR more offensive to you because they're different from the original tracks and not authorized by the copyright holders to be that different?

How ya doing, buddy?
