[SotW] Song of the Week - WEEK 146 Voting/WEEK 147 Nominating

ENEMY ZERO original soundtrack - Enemy Zero
Distinctive Nyman sound, reminiscent of his film works. Hypnotizing composition, albeit oppressive after a while because of the rhythmic notes continuously repeated.

Immortal 2 - Rain (Bonus Track)
That's a good trick, nominating a Hülsbeck-sounding track after a genuine one was offered some resistance. I like the mood, combining new age and electronic flavors into a mostly relaxing atmosphere.

Kingsley's Adventure (Red Book Audio) - Title
From the first time I have heard this piece, I fell under its charm. There is a certain innocence and epic feel to it, and while it is not the grandest and most serious take on medieval music, it fits well for an adventure title. The melody is strong and memorable in my opinion, but it is repeated a bit too often however, although there are many variations of it which make this more tolerable. It could have benifited from a better sounding (ideally live) instrumentation, yet I can still tell which instrument is which.

Kirby: Canvas Curse (Game Rip) - Tiny Town
I've never been a big fan of Kirby music, and unfortunately, "Tiny Town" won't change this yet. It's OK I guess, nothing really bad, but nothing really hooked me and I found the whole piece to be rather simplistic and sounding tiny.

Schell Bullet ~Thanaphs68~ - Riot Bluster
Oh yeah! This is a really good shmup(?) tune with a catchy melody and fabulous sound. A good find for sure.

Tiny Tank (Game Rip) - SNOW08
Ah, Tiny Tank! This game surprisingly has some great music. "SNOW08" is one of the best tracks it has to offer, with its groovy vibe and cool wah-wah guitar performance. The composition is somewhat simple however, but it still works well for a laid-back, happy tune.

Troddlers (SNES Game Rip) - Tight Time (mission 15)
I was only familiar with the music from the PC version, yet I'm glad to find out it sounds good on the SNES (which isn't always the case with conversions). A very rhythmic track, with some interesting parts, but overall, it lacks a bit in the melodic department and thus is not as enjoyable and memorable as other nominations this week.

Vigilante 8 (N64 Game Rip) - Dreamland
Hehe, a lost Jazz Jackrabbit track! This definitely comes from Alex Brandon, its definite tracker sound emanating from the N64. At first I thought it sounded out of place for Vigilante 8, but since it's for a crazy bonus level/location, it's all right. A catchy tune, even though the sound quality is a bit poor as opposed to his PC music.
