Song of the Week - WEEK 54 Voting/WEEK 55 Nominating

Lot of people seem to be on board with the group here. I wasn't entirely too keen on the week. A lot to say about my own nom, pardon the otherwise brief comments if you would.

Blast Corps (Game Rip) - Cromlech Court

Let's high five now, the two of us.

I've been bleakly honest recently; I'm running out of ideas. I don't download so much new vgm anymore and when I do I'll be damned if I have the time to give it a proper listen. It's not that I don't enjoy what I enter into this event, but I hear some of the most amazing works out of SotW usually sitting on a level my arsenal can't touch. The pride over some of my last few nominations has not entirely been beaming. Cromlech Court is somewhere between.

Like Darkcomet said, Court has so much going against it at first listen. N64 synth, not the highest quality rip, voice artifact from the game sitting there at the beginning, abrupt ending. All generally off putting. Despite the sound quality, nothing here comes close to breaking the mold. Nothing all that exciting here. I'm not sure why either, but this song demands my attention from the get go. It stands out when by all means it shouldn't. It's an alluring contradiction to have to try and pin down exactly why you like something, the particular qualities that grab you are elusive. You listen over and over, again and again.

I think what it is about this track is that it's deceptively mellow, underneath it's up tempo, spacey, colored lights sound, this piece ultimately contains a calming atmosphere. Many different elements, none of which are too heavy making it hard to get tired of.

I didn't nominate this thinking it'd win, but after hearing Court's company this week, honestly speaking, I think this deserves to place.

Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun (Game Rip) - Tiberian Sun Map Theme

Sorry, militaristic brass is not up my alley.

Mushihimesama Original Sound Track - Like the Night of the Falling Stars - Stage 4

Falls a little flat for me after the lengthy but decent intro.

Nobunaga's Ambition: Haouden - Blue Whitecaps

This is what I'm talking about. How am suppose to compete with this shit. Where do you people find this stuff?

Spanky's Quest (SNES Game Rip) - Ruins

Very enjoyable, this could fit into a number of other games and series with music I'm fond of. Namely, this reminds me of something out of Sonic. I definitely like it enough to give it points. But I'm not going to. If that makes any sense.

Tekken 3 arcade soundtrack 001 ex - Forest Law

The gimmick effects are slightly neat. How this track is stretched out to nearly 4 minutes is beyond me, though.

The Curse of Monkey Island (Game Rip) - "A Pirate I Was Meant to Be"

"Ooh, that was a good one!"

"No, it wasn't."

Actually, this put a smile on me my face and held my attention more than most tracks this week.

Toshinden Retake & Remix - Duke's Theme

These solo heavy tracks have a fifty fifty shot of sticking with me. This one just didn't. Might sound funny from someone who entered in a sax jazz track just recently, but as soon as the horn started blaring I knew this wasn't a contender for me.

Point Spread

3 points - Nobunaga's Ambition: Haouden - Blue Whitecaps

2 points - Blast Corps (Game Rip) - Cromlech Court

1 point - The Curse of Monkey Island (Game Rip) - "A Pirate I Was Meant to Be"
