There are some pieces in the game that have John Williams' themes in them, but this one is completely original

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'm gonna have to say "no" to Metroid. The game is very well-known and tracks from it have done well in the annual Best Song Contest.

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

DOUBLE DRAGON II The Revenge - Low Pursuit (Mission 2) Vaguely reminds me of Sasai's Mystic Quest work. Not bad, but doesn't deliver on its early promise.

Dragon's Fury (Game Rip) - OMAKEBGM00 (Thunder Force II: Knights of Legend) A decent chippier sound, but ultimately not enough development to keep it interesting for the full length.

Duck Tales 2 (Game Rip) - Scotland Theme I loved and played the first Ducktales game, but never even saw a copy of its sequel, and the music's entirely new to me. Reminds me a bit of the original's Transylvania theme, but suffers by comparison somewhat.

Dynamite Headdy (Game Rip) - Schumacher Fly A fine, energetic, complex tune, this. The composer really pushed the old Genesis sound chip to the limit here.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - To Catch an Owl James Hannigan did an excellent job with the most recent Harry Potter OST, and this is a good representative of that. Sweeping and whimsical with a great (original) melody.

Kameo: Elements of Power Original Soundtrack - Hero's Theme We've had a lot of Kameo nominations (at least two from me), but that's fine by me as it's a terrific OST. This bold, choral music may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's the kind of thing I lap up.

Maui Mallard in Cold Shadow (PC Redbook Audio) - The Mojo Mansion Sort of a "Haunted Mansion" vibe here; very cute and surprisingly catchy.

Real Bout Garou Densetsu 2 Arrange Sound Trax - Get the Sky ~ With Your Dream (Alfred) A nice rock ballad with that "Top Gun" feel.

This was quite a good week; I enjoyed most of the tracks thoroughly.

The Point Spread
Harry Potter - 3 pts.
Dynamite Headdy - 1 pt.
Kameo - 1 pt.
Mojo Mansion - 1 pt.

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

Woohoo, second place!

I agree wholeheartedly with Drakken above. It's not the end of the word if an occasional too-popular track sneaks in, but I really wish people would choose clearly obscure stuff.

As for Sonic CD, I can't say one way or the other. Not familiar with the series personally, but I know some swear by it.

Most amazing jew boots
