[SotW] Song of the Week - WEEK 116 Voting/WEEK 117 Nominating

Starting without me, eh?

A quick formatting tip: the streaming songs look better if the titles are on the right and the players on the left. I'd also wager that a little percent encoding on that # would make Board #4 playable

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Azel ~ Panzer Dragoon RPG - Wandering Reminds me of Earthbound for some reason. Pleasant, with a slight Asian flair, but ultimately kind of bland.

Barbie Super Model (SNES Game Rip) - Stage 1 Chutzpah points for the nomination; the music is rather better than one would expect given the pedigree. It's a little tinny and MIDI-ish, but there's some good rhythm.

I/O perfect Audiotracks - gamma It's got a frenetic techno beat and a fast tempo, but doesn't really do much with either until 2/3 of the song have gone by. The klaxons are both interesting and annoying at the same time.

MARIO SPORTS CD THE BEST - Tournament 1st & 2nd Match The synth's a bit weak, but that's par for the course in just about any Nintendo offering. More importantly, there's a nice melody and some good supporting percussion and guitar. I quite like this one.

Minna no Golf 5 Original Soundtrack - Iris Field C.C. Nice melody in this one. Could use a hair more variation in the first part of the loop, but nice overall.

Super DX-Ball (Game Rip) - Board #4 Interesting techno sound here, with a strong melody and less of that repetitive trance crap.

UNDER17 Best Album 1 ~Bishoujo Game Song Ni Ai Wo !!~ - Kotae I don't know why Japanese vocal VGM tends to favor singers that sound like they're 12 years old and have never had a voice lesson, but here we are.

ZUNTATA LIVE 1997 ~CINETEQUE RAVE~ (AUDIO FILE) - G Not without its merits, but a little repetitive in the first half and rather weird in the second.

Another group on the high end of "meh," with only one really bad track.

The Point Spread
Mario Sports - 3 pts.
Minna no Golf - 2 pts.
Super DX Ball - 1 pt.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I try

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