[SotW] Song of the Week - WEEK 140 Voting/WEEK 141 Nominating

Thanks for taking care of the threadmaking this week, CHz! I'm on crappy hotel dialup, and it's the first 'net access I've had in two days. It may also be the last access for days to come, so I'll brave the monstrous load times and vote now.

beatmania HIROSHI WATANABE beat indication - DEEP CLEAR EYES
I'm afraid songs like this just all sound the same to me. There's n real hook to set it apart from the pack.

DJMax Portable Legacy - Light House
A pretty standard tune, it's spiced up with some hilarious samples. Normally I don't like this sort of thing, but the barking dogs, burps, whistles and screams had me laughing, and the song actually felt kind of empty when they went away.

eXceed 2nd -VAMPIRE REX- (Game Rip) - Welcome to Vahalla
Not a whole lot of meat on this one at first, though it eventually opens up and gets more varied. Once things get moving, it's pretty good.

Namco Game Sound Express VOL.16 Attack of the Zolgear - Exia Metropolis
Some pretty dull parts, but when it's good, it's quite good.

Secret of the Solstice (Game Rip) - the spirit of the jotunnheim
This piano-techno fusion hit a lot of the right notes for me. I really like the repeating figures that persist throughout the whole song, and the piano part is pure bliss. It even has a rainstick! Top-notch.

Shining Theme Music Shiro SAGISU Collection - Inheritors of the Light
This has a really strong start that it never really follows through on. Instead of ramping up to something special, it takes a much easier and cheesier sub-Iwadare route--very disappointing.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV - Turtles in Time (SNES Game Rip) - Sewer Surfin'
This entire OST is terrific, with lots of high-energy and fun songs that make good use of the SNES sound chip. I chose this song to put up because it doesn't feature the theme from the cartoon series, which might've raised eligibility questions, but it's always been a favorite.

The Granstream Saga Original Sound Track - To Those Who Challenge Fate (Ending A)
I hoped for a bit more from Tanaka, who I've always had a soft spot for. But he doesn't deliver anything super-special, though there are some nice flourishes at the beginning.

The Point Spread
Sewer Surfin' - 3 pts.
Spirit of the Jarfignugen - 2 pts.
Welcome to Valhalla - 1 pt.
