[SotW] Song of the Week - WEEK 155 Voting/WEEK 156 Nominating

Plenty to enjoy this week

<<3 points>> Clover Heart's Perfect Arrange Album - On Thin Ice
Last nomination of mine of the year, and as always, it's radically different from my previous ones. I am one of those who thinks that in the variety is the taste. This time the taste is less melodic and more mood-inducing. It's admirable as it recreates, with so little, that intangible atmosphere of sounds. Reflexive music, a tad sad.

<<2 points>> Bird Eyes View - Acoustic Asturias - Ryu-Hyo
Although this one is at the same level as my nomination I have to give just two points to it. Anyway, it's going to win the gold and deserves it. A very very good piece of acoustic music. I will always like a good melody that revolves around itself and makes me feel something. Nothing more, nothing less.

<<1 point>> Pazzo Fanfano di Musica - Fragoroso
Undoubtfully, the finest of the rest ones. I no longer appreciate the Sakuraba style as I did in the old days, but occassionally hits a chord with me. It's not outstanding in any particular area, except maybe the performance, and those drums rythms (Sakuraba's signature) feel awkward in this piece, nonetheless it gets better as it progresses.



The Flags of Freedom Fly High relies too much on a limited idea. Tubelectric has soul but so little to offer. Prelude to the Demon King is basically standard rpg music, with some flourishes here and there. The end of 1000 years (Millennium Castle) could be more interesting without the laughable rock interludes: faux-Castlevania, no thanks. Level 1.2 should be more polished in so many aspects... not bad but quite mediocre in general.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
