Song of the Week - WEEK 53 Voting/WEEK 54 Nominations

Stepping out of my TES:IV Oblivion marathon a bit and actually participating in this. It was worthwhile too, as I enjoyed many of this weeks tracks.

3 Points: Dramatic - Oriental Spirits

A smooth, sexy Jazz piece with Asian overtones. Features two wonderful solo sections (for piano and electric guitar) that really make this piece shine. The easy winner this week.

2 Points: Space Invaders Daisakusen - Game Over

A cool piece of 80's rock that gets a big nostalgia in the in game SFX used thought the piece. A well thought out and well executed piece (lyrically and musically)

1 Point: Silhouette Mirage Original Sound Track - Punky Pumpkin Castle. It may be short but the funky guitar makes this more enjoyable than the rest of the runner ups this week. A piece can be structured perfectly, but it will get past but if its not as fun to listen to.

Runner Up: Genso Suikoden III Original Soundtrack - Vinay Del Zexay

Anyhow, lets be honest here, the song doesn't really start until about 45 seconds into it (no really please disregard anything before it). When it finally does kick it you have arguably one of the best town themes around. It will fail in SOTW though, which is a damn shame.

I agree with you completely on this. I really think tracks like "Farm Village" or "Complex Thoughts" would do quite well, depending on the competition. However I was always hesitant to nominate due to how weak they always sounded when measuring them by the demanding standards of core SoTW voters.

My Nomination:

Album: Lode Runner: The Legend Returns (Redbook Audio Rip)
Track Number: 13
Track Title: Skeleton Keep
Artists: Matt Berardo & Brian Salter
Year: 1994

Edit:Oh, and I will also upload this track to the server.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
