Song of the Week - WEEK 81 Voting/WEEK 82 Nominating

Wow, I'm a bit shocked. This week was incredible - exactly what I was in the mood to hear. That makes voting fairly difficult, though.

All Sounds of SaGa - Spiritual Battle - The weak link this week. Pretty short and dull... combined with the chiptune quality sound, it doesn't suit me at all.

Ar tonelico Hymmnos concert Side Crimson ~Tsukikanade~ - EXEC_RIG=VEDA/. - I have a high tolerance for this kind of singing, and that's the only part of the song that would make me think twice about it. The instrumentation is excellent, the best I've heard in a while; I especially like the combination of Eastern/Western instruments and melodies.

Digimon Rumble Arena (Game Rip) - Wilderness Does anyone else feel like the track titles for this song and for "Captain's Voyage" should have been switched? A nice find from a Digimon game. Though it's not exactly breaking the bank in the originallity category, I enjoyed the song.

Dragon's Fury (Game Rip) - Main Table - hmm, well, it's good for a chiptune, but I think I'll have to start holding the inferior instrument quality against chiptunes now that there is an actual best chiptune contest. Nice melody, though not the best this week.

Front Mission 5 ~Scars of the War~ Original Soundtrack - Quicksilver - Wow, I might have to check this soundtrack out. I really like the forceful guitar chords, and the percussion is sweet. A very pleasent surprise, big thanks to whoever nominated it.

Guitar Freaks 4th Mix & drummania 3rd Mix Soundtracks - Captain's Voyage (long version) Kind of heavy on the guitar and short on everything else, but it certainly isn't terrible. The melody is nice but I've heard other tracks do extremely similar things, so I can't give it originality points. It has it's pluses and minuses, but I think it comes out on top in the end.

PinkSweets Ibara Original Sound Track - Sweets Nerd - Another nice song... With queue words like "PinkSweets", I was expecting a bouncy, fun tune, but instead it's more techno-ish. Done pretty well, I'd have to say. I don't understand what everyone was "waiting for", I found the melody pretty entertaining the whole way through.

Ridge Racer 7 (Game Rip) - Supercruiser - Doesn't quite stand up to some of the stronger tracks this week, but still good. Definately a racing game track, I can almost see the "Checkpoint!" signs flashing before my eyes.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Hmph, nice. The two I didn't vote for took seventh and eighth. Though... digimon, eh? I thought Quicksilver had a pretty comfortable lead.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
