Jam it back in, in the dark.

Week 104: Gradius III - In The Wind I didn't give this any points last week, but I might have if its competition had been a little weaker. It's got some nice bits, though it treads close to being cheesy at times.

Week 103: beatmaniaIIDX 14 GOLD ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACKS - Reflection Into the EDEN I must've been the only person who didn't give this any points given its margin of victory. Aside from the rather unusual use of bagpipes, it's just easy listening music that I can't get into much.

Week 102: Senko no Ronde -Sound Tracks- - assemble More easy listening that I didn't particularly care for at the time. Some neat ethnic vocals, but nothing else that really interested me.

Week 101: Snow in Saigon - Larmes de la lune A dark piece that uses a small ensemble to create a haunting, childlike melody and atmosphere. I tend to enjoy moody pieces like this, especially when they feature good piano work. Good stuff.

Week 100: FOR BRIGHTER DAY Phantasy Star Universe Original Sound Track - Ukishima Likely the last Phantasy Star track we'll see in SoTW. It has all the ingredients that make the best PS tracks--intricate techno beats, some acoustic touches. But since the piece is heavily influenced by Asian classical music and lacks a particularly strong melody, I wasn't a fan.

Week 99: Back in Time II - Galway Is God 2000 Despite being non-VGM, this is a capable techno piece which improves as it goes along. The seven-minute running time is a tad bloated--a minute could be shaved off the beginning without losing anything good--it still works well.

Week 98: FX3 - Choppastyle Never thought I'd vote for anything with "choppa" in its name, but this song develops into a nice chiptune-style treat with a good melody and rhythm (and some terrific interludes to boot).

Week 97: Within a Deep Forest (Game Rip) - Diamond Meditation I didn't see much in this at the time--it's short and painfully underdeveloped. Time hasn't done much to make me appriciate it more.

Not the best bunch of winners in my opinion, but there are still some standouts.
