Most amazing jew boots

Capcom Game Music - Demon Boundary Village ~ Maikamura Arrange Version I like the jaunty piano here; it's got a very neat old-timey saloon feel. The synth rhythm isn't nearly as nice, but at least it's unobtrusive.

Derby Stallion Original Soundtrack - Stable This one also has an old-timey feel, with more of a down-home country feel to it and a very pronounced fiddle. It's charming, but missing the real hooks that would move it beyond being a just a good genre entrant.

Fantastic Four (PSX Redbook Audio) - Large Wars With a game like that and a name like that, saxophone jazz was absolutely the last thing I expected. The sax has some nice chops in a circa 1985 way, but the electronics pops don't really complement it (they're not cheesy enough or jazzy enough).

Metal Slug ~Complete Sound BOX~ - The scene of a hard battle (Boss 1) Definitely has that whole "boss battle theme" sound about it, but it's clearly a minor boss. Good, but at the same time cast from the same mold as a bevy of other smallboss songs.

New Ghostbusters II (Game Rip) - River of Slime (Level 4) An interesting chiptune that's got rhythmic moxie but comes up short in other areas. The best part is the beginning of the loop, where that famous circus music is quoted.

Racing Lagoon Original Sound Track - Ending Not your average racing track; it's a lot more florid, mixing in a more acoustic sound and relatively strong melody with a lessened selection of backbeats. Refreshing as a change of pace, and it improves with age.

Super Mega Drive Fan - Mega Drive Super Music Collection Vol.2 - DARK SHADOW [Alshark] Love the melody in this one. The samples could be a bit better, but it's still quite enjoyable on a lot of levels.

The Candystore's Manager James Test Version (Game Rip) - One night in... (Stage 1) I thought this was a joke nomination at first, but lo and behold if it isn't serious. Some neat rhythmic and melodic twists here and there.

A very solid week, consistent in quality and with a very diverse selection!
