Jam it back in, in the dark.

Given the low level of voting so far, and the glorious dawn of BSC '08, perhaps we should make this a double-weeker.

Apidya Soundtrack - Sewer's Blast The rhythm's quite good, and pretty varied. Not much in the way of melody until the track's nearly half over, though.

Cold Winter Original Game Music Score - Fight in the Lobby I've got a real soft spot for songs like these; take a Middle Eastern vibe and mix it with some rock instruments and a bruising melody, and I'm sold. While most of this OST is quite different, this song has a real panache about it.

Drawn to Life (Game Rip) - City Funk It certainly earns its name, but I just wasn't sold on the tune as a whole. I found it rather dull and repetitious, without any of the fireworks I was expecting.

Game Music Is Dead ~THE SUCCESSIVE KINGS~ - Super Takarazuka 3 (TAKARAZUKA) Game music is dead; this song killed it. I went through a box of q-tips getting the blood out of my ears.

Garou Densetsu WILD AMBITION Arrange Sound Trax - 11th Street (Terry Bogard) This is the sort of thing I was expecting from City Funk; a fun, cheesy, make-no-apologies piece of 80's style urban funkiness. Terrific, except for one spot near the end, but that's why God invented Audacity.

Heart Session - Technical Power Some nice keyboard runs, but forgettable on the whole. Lots of funk this week; I think this one suffers in comparison to the competition.

OutRun 20th Anniversary Box - Rush a Difficulty 2006 Arrange Ver. People seem to have quite the soft spot for this album; let me confirm my philistine status by saying I've never heard of it It's decent enough, but my mind started to wander before it was even a quarter over--and man, it goes on forever.

The Magical Quest Starring Mickey Mouse (SNES Game Rip) - Stage 4 - Pete's Peak About what I expected, given the title: bouncy. It's a hair darker than I expected, though, which is a bonus.

The Point Spread
Fight in the Lobby - 3 pts.
11th Street - 2 pts.
Pete's Peak - 1 pt.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Then it was all worthwhile

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