Jam it back in, in the dark.

Now or never.

Guild Wars Special Edition Soundtrack - A Warrior's Heart (Bonus) (1 POINT)
The beginning reminds me of Hans Zimmer's King Arthur Film Score. The piece is replete with epic movements and spectacular instrumentation, it's epic sounding done right. Nevertheless, in some moments, it lacks of the intensity needed to stand out.

Phantom Brave ~Original sound track~ - The End of This Passionate Feeling (1 POINT)
Sato hardly dissapoints me, and this time isn't an exception. I like the tango approach and the exuberant instrumentation, Sato knows how to surprise. What would be of the music without the imagination and daring which are present in this piece.

SimCity 4 Rush Hour Soundtrack - Bumper to Bumper
Once again, this piece reminds me of a particular Film Score, "K-Pax". With a progression semi-minimalist, it makes good use of its limited instrumentation and through the repetition of an only-phrase it develops subtlely. It's effective in its own, although not very accessible.

The Baku Bomb!!! Baku Bomberman Original Soundtrack - Green Garden
Bomberman bring me good memories. I can't deny the charming and goofy qualities of this track, but beyond of that, I feel the composition is completely empty. Fun but banal.

Touhou Youyou Yumi ~Embodiment of Scarlet Devil~ (Game Rip) - The Maid and the Pocket Watch of Blood (WAV Version)
And well, our monthly ration of ZUN. How in other times, some synths are really crap and that is very ugly. It's hard concentrate on the composition while you listen determined sounds, even so, I did it and although the piano-thing is absolutely crazy the rest is bearable.

Turrican Original Video Game Soundtrack - Freedom
It sounds like an epilogue, a successful end to a prolonged adventure. Turrican is between my more beloved European VGM Soundtracks, and Freedom is one of the highlights of Turrican Sountrack. So, you can imagine that any praise is extra. Insta-3-POINTS

WILD ARMS the 4th Detonator Original Score - Time and Rocks Piled Up (1 POINT)
Yeah baby, you know how to tap me. The percussion is specially inspired and those trumpets are very enticing. The cool-espionage atmosphere is maintained through the entire piece, which makes to maintain the things interestings.

Yo! Noid (Game Rip) - Area 13 and 14
And to finish a little old-school action. In spite of the inherent limitations of this kind of stuff, it's possible to find great compositions with an open-minded approach. Area 13 and 14 doesn't reach the level of legendary's compositions such as Megaman, but this track is a very worthy contender to it.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
