Very good week. There is plenty to choose from, whatever kind of music you like. I'm so tired of studying... blah no excuse anymore, gonna make some comments.
Anarchy Online Original Soundtrack Vol 02 - Shadowland Battle Music (Remix): This sounds like a remix, indeed. It's clearly electronica-oriented and quite calm for battle music. The electronic elements are standard, pretty generic. Nevertheless, the piano and the humming make the difference, just a bit more of these and... Bakumatsu Roman The Second Act Gekka no Kenshi ~Flowers Blooming on the Moon, Flowers Scattering on the Wind~ Arrange Sound Trax - First Movement "Swordsman of Gekka ~ Decision at Daybreak" (Theme 1): I'm quite partial to symphonic stuff and I don't find the instrumentation quality (in this track) to be unworthy. This one begins in a melodramatic tone, but the later development is original and leads to new interesting ideas. A true stand-out track. Drag-on Dragoon Original Soundtrack Vol. 2 - Twelfth Chapter Sky: In some places, it reminds me of the crazy atmospheric tracks in the Silent Hill series. Distorted and mechanical sounds aren't among my musical tastes, but I can recognize the objective quality of it, although for one reason or another doen't appeal to me personally. Dreamfall : The Longest Journey Original Soundtrack - The Hospital Room: This one reminds of a possible nomination of mine in the future. Well, I'd prefer a bit more focus on the instrumental side, but the xylophones, harps and flutes make a good job. The credit here is for the vocal performance which is stunning, ethereal and the rest synonyms. KUKEIHA CLUB pro-fusion ~TOKIMEKI MEMORIAL~ - The Ambition of Cultman: Time to explain my own nomination. Evidently, this track doesn't distinguish itself by an easy melody line and yet less for its transparent structure. I nominated it for the great group performance. I love the awesome drum work, above all in the beginning. The section jumps are rough, but for a good reason, to catch unaware to the listener. In reality, everything in this track is for that, to surprise. Rainbows - Chris Hülsbeck Volume 3 - Giana Sisters (Theme): It looks to me strangely familiar and I don't know why. It's not very different of the others Hülsbeck's compositions: a hint of classical progressions here, whimsical accompaniment there. Good but not even near the top stuff from this guy. Rogue Galaxy Premium Arrange - THE LABYRINTH: THIS IS AWESOME. Seriously, this is an amazing track. Wonderful use of the instrumentation, exquisite development. Original and creative compositions like this one should get the worthy attention they deserve. Tengai Makyou ~ The Apocalypse IV - Original Soundtrack - The Twelve Apostles Battle: Well, the average track of the week. I'm sorry but it sounds so unpolished and clunky that I feel bad for it. In this case, to say forgettable is almost like a compliment. Point Distribution: (3 points) The Ambition of Cultman (2 points) THE LABYRINTH (1 point) First Movement "Swordsman of Gekka ~ Decision at Daybreak" Jam it back in, in the dark.
