Jam it back in, in the dark.

Arc the Lad Original Game Sound Track - Kukuru Sounds like the theme track to a 1980's sitcom. That's not necessarily a bad thing, just an observation. Cheesy, but it has its moments.

HEADHUNTER REDEMPTION HEADHUNTER Original Soundtrack Recording - Ramirez At Bay Sounds kind of like something out of the Hitman series, in that it combines heavy electronics with a more acoustic sound. A few times I was reminded of Rocky, for some reason; maybe the song kind of sounded like a training montage. Pretty good.

Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu (NES Game Rip) - BGM 02 A decent chiptune. Maybe I've been jaded by all the great stuff from our chiptune contest, but I expected more given the positive comments.

Mars Matrix & Giga Wing 2 Original Soundtrack - Ark A heavy, dramatic-sounding track with lots of swirling strings. It was nice at first, but the track eventually grew tiresome when it didn't really build to anything.

MELTY BLOOD Act Cadenza Ver.B BGM Collection - for Crimson Air (Night of Wallachia Stage) I've often wondered what having melty blood would entail, exactly--is it frozen, or bursting out of the veins so violently that despite already being liquid it melts again? That conundrum aside, the music itself was decent, but nothing spectacular.

METAL BLACK -The First- - Time I seem to remember a Metal Black track in some contest or other that was truly dire yet reaped praise from people who'd played the game. This song, however, is far from dire, and has some good points, though it's ultimately too incoherent for my taste.

Moshimo Ashita ga Hare Naraba Extra Soundtrack - Examination of Moonlight A pleasant song, but insubstantial--there's not much to set it apart from legions of other "peaceful/happy" tunes.

R-Type Delta Original Sound Trax - Stage 4 (Corrosion) This one's all over the map, veering drunkenly from style to style without anything to hold the different parts together. Way too schizophrenic for me.

Nothing really spoke to me this week, though only one of the tracks was really bad. Guess it's time to load up the 'ol shotgun.
