The streaming links just won't behave this week; I couldn't get Name Entry to stream at all, even after percent-encoding every piece of punctuation in the link.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Cradle -Touhou Gegakushi Den- - Apparitions Stalk the Night Some nice percussion, brass, and synth here. It's not the most cohesive or melodic track, but it has a nice groove. Not really fond of the vocals, though.

Drawn to Life (Game Rip) - Snowy World Well, the 'snow' part of the title is definitely covered by the strings and sleigh bells, though the heavy backbeat isn't your typical Christmassy music. It's nice, kind of cute.

Dreamfall The Longest Journey Original Soundtrack - Rush The Dreamfall soundtrack is quite excellent, generally speaking. I was never particularly fond of the actual songs on the OST, though Rush is definitely the pick of the bunch. The vocal style and instrumentals aren;t particulalry original, but they're pretty and fit in with the other tracks in the game.

Force Majeure (Game Rip) - title Pretty good synthy track with a tracker feel and a slight conceptual resemblence to an old-school Mega Man track. Very cool.

KOF MAXIMUM IMPACT REGULATION 'A' ORIGINAL SOUND TRACK - Unbreakable Stained Glass I was fully expecting to dislike this, but it's actually pretty good. The sound that it uses isn't particularly original, but I like well-done rock opera.

Virtua Racing & Out Runners - Name Entry Nice atmosphere, but damn is it ever short. the thing's over before it's even begun.

Zed Blade (Game Rip) - Universe Blue (yueez MIX) (Stage 2 & 5) A pretty standard synth groove-type track, with nothing that really mad it stand out. Pleasant but forgettable.

Zombies Ate My Neighbors (SNES Game Rip) - Mars Needs Cheerleaders Some interesting stuff going on in this track. The composer's really trying for a spooky pseudo-gothic sound that stretches the boundaries of what the SNES sound chip is capable of. The samples are a varied lot, with some very advanced ones (like the harp) alongside some super-synthy ones. Easy to applaud, but hard to like.

A very nice week, with heaps of interesting stuff.
