Jam it back in, in the dark.

I say let the track be grandfathered in, as it's already been put up and recieved votes and replacing it would be a pain in the butt. At the same time, let's not make it a precedent for anything--just call a horse a horse and say that it's a marginal track that slipped through the cracks. That's assuming it's an original work by the artist, of course, and not an fan arrangement.

I think that a 1-2 week SoTW hiatus, or perhaps a double-length voting period, might be in order when the contest starts, since the first round will involve groups of four tracks squaring off against one another and our fine listeners might get overloaded.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Much as it pains me to say this, you can only give 3 pts. to one song. You'll have to remove a point from one of those and give it to something else

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

19XX THE WAR AGAINST DESTINY - CAPCOM Game Sound Track - City light in the black strait Mission5 I certainly wasn't expecting synth jazz, given the title! Unfortunately, it's the formless, aimless kind of jazz that I can never really get into.

Kukeiha Club pro-fusion ~Salamander~ - SENSATION Pretty much what I expected--upbeat, 80's style guitar with some synth accompaniment. Nice, but not all that distinctive.

Leander (Amiga Game Rip) - Intro Good sound considering the tinny MIDI crap that most personal computers were stuck with at the time, but a bit unfocused for my taste. Has its moments, though.

Sega Tunes - ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron - Mellow Groove One certainly can't fault this track for false advertising--it is nothing if not a mellow groove. Mellow grooves just happen to bore me, and that's the case here (though the sax is nice).

Sephiroth - Oriental Memory of Forgathering Dream ~phantasmagoria~ Our controversial track of the week. Eligibility questions aside, the song is rather low-key, very oriental, and very long. Definitely some nice bits, but it's a long slog.

The Curse of Monkey Island (Game Rip) - Main Titles There have been four versions of this theme to date, and I think this is the best, with great sound quality and a upbeat, jaunty air. The fusion of stereotypical pirate music with reggae is as nifty and fun as ever, and this is a sentimental favorite.

The Lunatic - Ibara Remix Tracks - Endress Train Sort of a combination of Sensation and Mellow Groove's weaknesses, made flesh ot at least sculpted out of cheddar in a lifelike manner.

Wizardry ~ Llylgamyn Saga - Fort City Llylgamyn Another low-key track, this in more of an ambient style that tends to appeal to me (but bores plenty of others). Short, but I liked it.

Varied selection this week, but many were from genres I'm not so big on.

The Point Spread
3 pts. - Monkey Island
2 pts. - Fort City Llylgamyn
1 pt. - SENSATION

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

It's customary to wait a little while after a major release like that to put it up for SotW, anyway. So maybe it should be shelved until we see how things turn out.

Also, nom time!

I was speaking idiomatically.

Man, this looks to be quite the impasse. Or have we silently begun the two-week SotW period already?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Option 3 works for me

FELIPE NO
