Song of the Week - WEEK 84 Voting/WEEK 85 Nominating

Xak II The Rising of the Red Moon (FM-Towns Red Book Audio): Good song, like most of the songs this week. I think the more relaxed parts of the song should be removed, or at least changed. But that wasn't a huge problem I guess.

Tobe! Polystars & Total Vice - Over the Frozen Sea (2nd BGM): Another great addition to this weeks pool. Not the kind of song that would reach my most played playlists, but good anyways. I like the 'fun' atmosphere. It reminds me of a game on the Xbox, "Blinx", anyways.

StarCraft (PC Game Rip) - Terran 3: This one has always been my favorite out of the Terran theme songs, (most heard too, hear it every time I start a game lol). The development in this song is great, and the instruments are great too. This song gives a great atmosphere while playing the game, not a song to easily forget thats for sure.

Ogre ~ Grand Repeat - Chivalry and Savegery: (Shouldn't it be Savagery not Savegery, whatever) I wonder what the original song sounded like, maybe I'll go check it out sometime. The song is good, but like orion_mk3 said, the 'live' instrumentation is annoying, I didn't like the brass in this song at all, but the strings were alright. Good song, *searches for original*

Cyber Troopers Virtual-On Official Sound Data - Get Ready ~ In the Blue Sky: Ranked at about the same level as Over the Frozen Sea, or a bit lower. It dragged out a little too long, not much to complain about it really. Decent.

Culdcept II Original Soundtrack - Open The World: My Nomination. This song, and game, are pretty cool. A little background on the development of the song. The game is a card game-monopoly fuse. The 3 parts of the songs are progressive, building up in tension, towards the end of battle (the battles take a while, not your quick 5 minute run through). The first 2 parts are great, while the third lacks. I really like the atmosphere the song gives. I have a feeling my nom. will get swallowed up this time, heh.

Cho Hayama ~ Aniki Bangaichi - Death Wish: I was expecting something like this, considering it's coming from one of the most bizarre games I have ever seen. Just look it up on wikipedia, or google, and you'll see what I mean. Some of the melodies are, uh, decent I guess, but the inserted voices kill it, musical wise. The song itself is silly. And thats about it.

Blood the Last Vampire Original Game Soundtrack - Ruria: I'm a Kajiura fan, this song is my favorite out of the bunch. The repetition of the melody could've been changed, but the song is short(er than some), and well, the melody is great by itself, but I think development would have bumped this up a notch on the quality scale. I prefer some of her other piano songs over this though (Silent Life, Hepatica, etc.). I'll have to check out the soundtrack sometime.
