Song of the Week - WEEK 78 Voting/WEEK 79 Nominating

Hmm, pretty good week.

I can hear the shriek (Stage ~Cave~) <Hideyuki Fukasawa>
Interesting song, I like the combination of styles and instruments. The overall melody was decent, percussion was decent. The voices were my favorite part of the song, followed by the strings at times. Decent song.

2nd Movement of the Odyssey <Incubus>
Hmm, it's almost like a few separate remixes put together (is it?). I have a natural bias against Halo in general (all those halo-fans at school sometimes bug me). I'll try and give this a fair try at points. I like some of the melodies, some I don't care for. I like it better than the Halo OST (the one you hear in the game(s)>.>). It did get kind of boring at times, oh well, fun song to listen to.

In This World <Ronnie Montrose, Fitz Houston>
Heh, interesting lyrics. Good composition, nothing super great though. Not much to say about this song. It doesn't sound like it would be from a video game. Good overall.

Under Water (Stage 2) <S. Yamaguchi>
At first I didn't like the song, but I'm starting to like it a little more. Average chip tune (right term?), anyways, fun melody.

Blood Brothers <James Hannigan>
Hmmm, pretty good song. Very slow, but that fits the style perfectly. Sounds like a song that would be in a Hollywood movie. I've never heard of the game it's from "Republic: The Revolution". A little more development would have made the song more enjoyable. But that's just my taste.

Unpublished Tune (Arrange Ver.) <Shin Kouno, Achilles C. Damigos>
My least favorite at first, but it actually isn't so bad, on par with most of the other songs. I like the melody, even though it is SLIGHTLY redundant. I've liked most of the Shin Megami Tensei (recent ones) series' soundtrack.

Planet She <Mitsuhiro Kaneda>
I was tempted to get this game a while back, but my bank account denied that, heh. Sounds like the soundtrack wasn't that bad. This song is well put together, the name though, "Planet She", I was expecting a more epic kind of song.

tears which died <Shinji Hosoe>
On par with the Shin Megami Tensei song. It has an easily enjoyable melody, easily remembered too. Interesting name, it brings a little bit more depth to the song. Good week (pretty even too).

I hope this isn't to mainstream. It IS by Hamauzu, but I find USaga pretty obscure (I could be wrong). I found one previous nom. from USaga (in the best song contest), but I didn't find this particular song, so... Anyways, feel free to veto my nomination.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Heh, I wasn't expecting Unlimited Saga to be so widely "heard". I'll do better on my other nom's (hopfully...).

How about this one:
