Most amazing jew boots

Begin nomination chain now.

Artist: Motoi Sakuraba
Album: Forest of Glass
Track Title: Fly!
Year: 2008
Source: #gamemp3's

There's nowhere I can't reach.

You broke the chain! I was hoping we could get at least a 3x multiplier on there. If you get 5x, a little-known SotW clause gives instant victory that week

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

It was released on January 23; by the time it hits voting just about three months will have passed. And I don't think the album is about to become super-popular, either.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Bakumatsu Roman Gekka no Kenshi Arrange Sound Trax - Vicissitudes An interesting quasi-medieval feel to this one. The synth is a bit tinny (aside from the VOICES OUT OF NOWHERE near the end), though the melody manages to shake of the shackles of its renaissance feel and soar for a good portion of the loop.

DIGITAL DEVIL SAGA ~Avatar Tuner~ 1 & 2 Original Sound Track Integral - Egg Of The Universe Aside from a handful of tracks, SMT hasn't really appealed to me over the years. Unfortunately, the universal egg isn't an exception. Too much techno looping, not enough (i.e. not any) melody.

Golden Axe III (Game Rip) - Bloody Street A decent enough chiptune, but the melody didn't do a whole lot for me.

GunViper (Game Rip) - Stage1 Doesn't really sound like the sort of thing I'd expect from something called "GunViper," but I like the playful, pastoral/militaristic feel of the song. If only the synth didn't sound like it was recorded through a tin can...

Sam & Max Season One Soundtrack - Bosco's This is the sort of lazy, loungy jazz that I find almost impossible to get into. I appreciate it, and I desire to vote for it because of the Sam & Max brand, but I just can't enjoy it.

Telenet Game Music Collection Vol. 1 - THE FANTASM SOLDIER VALIS (Opening) I kept waiting for the payoff, or a catchy melody, or something besides a beat and backing rhythm. It never came

The Dig Soundtrack - A River Canyon The Dig is an impressive ambient score; "Journey to the Asteroid" and "Cathedral of the Lost" especially are powerhouses. While perhaps not in that league, "River Canyon" still has that warm, faintly choral sound to it, full of ambient washes and color. I'm biased based on my experiences, perhaps, but I still love it.

THE MADNESS BATTLE GAREGGA PERFECT SOUNDTRACK - Fly to the Leaden Sky (Stage1 - Valley) There's a nice part near the loop, but otherwise this track seemed awfully familiar. Would that the soaring nearloop bit were only the beginning, but alas, such was not to be.

Good week in general; if nothing shouted "3 points!," at least nothing shouted "8th place!"

The Point Spread
A River Canyon - 2 pts.
Vicissitudes - 2 pts.
GunViper - 2 pts.

I was speaking idiomatically.
