Jam it back in, in the dark.

Fixed.

And no, I didn't have to fight with it; I just had to reason with it. That's how real men solve their problems

Are the streamed links this week not working for you? They're fine for me.

Nevertheless, I've replaced the links just to be safe.

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

Capcom Music Generation Area 88 Original Soundtrack - Front Line Base Definitely has the Mega Man X series feel about it--limp melody, dull rhythm, and a total lack of anything interesting. Where's Bun Bun when you need him?

Darwinia Soundtrack - Visitors from dreams Hmm, I wonder what system this is from. Rhythm's nice, but the melody line's all about repetition, and the trills don't really help.

Klonoa of the Wind 2 ~Something Forgotten Wished by the World~ Original Soundtrack - Going to Lunatea - The Sea of Tears (After Polly's Entry) Damn track title, longer than Klonoa's ears. This is a nice lil' bit 'o bouncy with a fair melody, though I feel like with a little push it could have been something far more memorable--more things like the finger piano interlude could have done it.

Metal Saga ~Chain of Sandstorm~ Original Soundtrack - Route 99 The steel guitar style here reminds me a bit of Starcraft, which was one of the few OST's to use the instrument. I like the general sound of this piece, and the string melody that eventually shows up is pretty good, though the synthy one tha follows is less so. The piano part, though? Terrific. More please.

Nano Breaker (Game Rip) - Downtown Dark tune, this. Not much in the way of melody, but it does put together a good atmosphere. The charm wore a little thin by the end, but not bad overall.

Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne Original Soundtrack - Common Battle ~Stuck in Amarah~ Fast-paced, yes, with the technish/rock vibe that's expected from the Digital Devil Saga. A bit weak in the melody department, as expected from the Digital Devil Saga.

Sound Locomotive - Sound Locomotive The song starts promisingly, with a nice contemporary groove to it. Then the guitar kicks in, and suddenly it's 1980 all over again. As was mentioned above, the 'tar isn't the optimum instrument for the melody here at all.

The King of Fighters '96 Arrange Sound Trax - Seoul Road I know that a song was playing because the bar was moving, but all I heard was the trash rock from my neighbor's stereo. He really needs to turn that thing down.

A very meh week all around. Severely lacking in the melody department, most of them, which is odd given the (stated) preference for strongly melodic works hereabouts.

The Point Spread
Route 99 - 3 pts.
Going to Luntea - The Sea of Tears (Polly's Theme) VERSION 1 ~Limited Edition~ Live Remix [Extended Track] - Be Soulful (Mindful) of the Chilidogs - 2 pts
Downtown - 1 pt.
