Jam it back in, in the dark.

ENEMY ZERO original soundtrack - Enemy Zero I was pretty surprised to learn that Nyman had ever done a game score, though I've never actually listened to it. Hearing it now, the piece strikes me as an interesting fusion of jazz and Philip Glass, with a cyclical structure and sax-led texture. It wears out its welcome after a while.

Immortal 2 - Rain (Bonus Track) Another track with a repetitive underlying structure. Not as unique a sound as the Nyman piece, but the synth lead is very fetching and the entire piece has a nice, soothing feel about it.

Kingsley's Adventure (Red Book Audio) - Title The instruments have a rather flat sound, which is too bad, as the composition is actually rather good. The song's got a nice melody that's put through its paces rather well.

Kirby: Canvas Curse (Game Rip) - Tiny Town I really liked the beginning of this, as it felt like the buildup to something terrific. Unfortunately, things kind of fizzle out; there's never the hoped-for explosion, just an extra synth layer and a brief woodwind part.

Schell Bullet ~Thanaphs68~ - Riot Bluster Did this image track get in because it was composed by a VGM artist, or did it just slip thru the cracks? I have to admit I wasn't really paying attention at the time. The music itself is touch and go, with some passages that I really dug and others that elicited no more than a shrug.

Tiny Tank (Game Rip) - SNOW08 I always think of Caribbean licks and wah-wah guitar when I think of snow, don't you? This is all right as far as funk goes, but I'll be the first to admit that funk isn't my favorite genre.

Troddlers (SNES Game Rip) - Tight Time (mission 15) A nice little tune with a very mechanical feel. This one really grew on me during the course of listening.

Vigilante 8 (N64 Game Rip) - Dreamland A definite Brandon track, no question about it. It's got some nice depth and jazzy spunk to it; I'm not sure I'd put it alongside his best works, but it's quite good.

An excellent week all around! This makes two in a row, maybe we can go for a SotW quality hat trick.

Most amazing jew boots

I move that, based on voting patterns, we herewith and immediately rename this event "Song of the Sunday Night" (SotSN)

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