[SotW] Song of the Week - WEEK 126 Voting/WEEK 127 Nominating

3 Points: Treasures of the Deep (Game Rip) - Wreck of the Concepcion - Credits
2 Points: Sonic Advance (Game Rip) - Zone 4-1
1 Point: Omega Five Soundtrack - Stage 1 The glacial fortress

"Wreck of the Concepcion" was the clear winner for me. Its mellow approach to warm, upbeat guitar is among my most favorite styles of music. I was rather shocked to find that Tallarico composed it, as his style is usually too over-the-top for me. Full points for a very pleasant surprise.
"Zone 4-1" was written by Maeda and Minobe, the team behind the infinitely awesome "Eternal Arcadia" soundtrack, so this is a no-brainer. They milked the GBA's hardware for everything they could get.
"Stage 1" intrigued me with its powerful bass and synthy leads. It kept a nice pace with some decent variations throughout. It also reminded me a bit of "Beach" from "Plok!", and I suspect that made me like it more.

Nothing else was horrible but these three stood tall above the rest.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Spoiler:

Based upon this theory, I will abstain from future nominations until such time as "Fly to the Leaden Sky" has passed voting.

There is no sense marching into a losing war.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
