Song of the Week - WEEK 58 Voting/WEEK 59 Nominating

Body Harvest (Game Rip) - bh04 - This track is far too atmospheric to earn favor with me. It's just not that interesting. Great background music for a suspense game but it fails to display any life of its own, outside the game.

Crusader: No Regret (Game Rip) - Menu - I agree with orion; the intro is rather deceptive. It's good and caused me to think the meat of the track would contain a lot more innovation. But it was a little formulaic, actually. The intro faded into what I can only describe as a "mood" and didn't try to escape from it. It had all the right pieces but they weren't assembled to their full potential.

Diddy Kong Racing Original Soundtrack - Star City - This track's hit and miss. The melody doesn't live up to the expectations set by the frenetic percussion. And the choice of sound samples is pretty uninteresting to me.

DIGITAL DEVIL SAGA ~Avatar Tuner~ 1 & 2 Original Sound Track: Integral - Five Years Before - This one takes too long to get where it's going, and once it's there, I wish it weren't. Way, way too much discord in the whole piece for my liking.

Highly Responsive to Prayers Special Kakiden Arrange - Now, die for the debt you have accumulated - The last thing I expected from this was a chiptune. (I thought it was gonna be another boring military march.) The melody's acceptable although the synth is underdeveloped. This is arranged? Weird. Just weird, man.

Kameo: Elements of Power Original Soundtrack - Enchanted Kingdom - Unless the track has little else to feature (i.e. When You Met Her), words aren't something I easily accept in SotW. The voices in this track aren't really offensive, but they're kind of...I don't know. The whole thing is just a little bit of a downer for me. It's not a sad track but it's not a happy one either. I can say that it's tranquil, but in this case, that translates over into a bit of a dull experience.

Narcissu (Game Rip) - I'm Right Here (vocal ver.) - A rather nice opening and light jazzy track that was immediately ruined by the presence of unintelligible Japanese lyrics. A shame, really.

Schrodinger's Cat - Die Katze von Schrodinger Game Soundtrack - GOLDARROW ~In a bar~ [Western] - This is a nice change of pace. Has there ever been a western nomination before? Something that I find interesting in my musical preferences is that I strongly dislike country music but this style of western is happily accepted. While it's not as up-tempo as I'd like it to be, it's got a warmth that I find pleasing. A nice song to lay back in front of a fan and fall asleep to.



Points...points...hmm. This is hard. My favorite is clear but beyond that, it all gets kinda muddled. I don't feel this was a strong week at all.

3 Points - Schrodinger's Cat - Die Katze von Schrodinger Game Soundtrack - GOLDARROW ~In a bar~ [Western]

2 Points - Highly Responsive to Prayers Special Kakiden Arrange - Now, die for the debt you have accumulated

1 Point - Kameo: Elements of Power Original Soundtrack - Enchanted Kingdom

Oh well. Every week can't be gangbusters.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

You're being serious, right Ramoth?

I mean, the whole Phoenix Wright thing has gained a fair amount of notoriety, at least here at GFF. I wonder if it's become too well-known a meme to be a legitimate nomination.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Fair enough. I just wanted it to be certain.

(I'm only slightly miffed because, due to new nomination rules, this bumps my nomination out of next week's queue. Four new nominators in one week. WTF?)

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
