Jam it back in, in the dark.

Tracks are up. And I humbly think that this milestone deserves a forum-wide announcement

Maybe even CNN coverage, if they weren't busy bitching about some election or something.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Cosmic Fantasy Stories (Game Rip) - Opening The quality of this rip is really atrocious, which is too bad because the music is quite good, with nice drive and melody. Someone over at OCR ought to get busy on a decent-sounding remix.

eleison - Surrounded by Smiles -ordinary- As I've come to expect from noms of this ilk, this tune is both completely unique and completely bizarre. The beginning especially, which moves from ambient SFX to bloopy synth, is just flat-out weird. Things get a bit more traditional later on, but the music is a little too strange to come back to very often.

Fuujin Ryouiki Eretzvaju Original Soundtrack - Right Way [Danzaiver] A nice little brass-led action track. It doesn't really do anything out of the ordinary; I liked the way that it combined brass and timpani with the usual synthy accoutrements and didn't much care for the thrashing.

MIDI Power ver.2.0 X68000 Collection - Historic Soldier (Naming BGM) Whistley synth! That's a neat effect when it's used right, and the rest of this song is pretty good as well. But what's with the sudden fadeout, seemingly right in the middle of the dang song?

Pulstar - GALACTIC RULER (Final Stage ~ Last Boss) An interesting sound to this one, spacey and slightly out of tune (but deliberately so). One minute I think it's a terrific sound; the next it seems like so much musical mush. But on the whole, I get a positive impression.

THE LEGEND OF HEROES IV "A Tear of Vermilion" ORIGINAL SOUND TRACK - The Village Where They Arrived One Day This does sound very much like a village theme, and has the appropriate warm and melodic sound. Not the most stunning example of its kind, perhaps, but it gets the job done.

R-Type (C64 Game Rip) - Title This has definitely got that distinctive C64 sound to it. I've never really liked that sound too much; perhaps it's a generational thing.

Ultraverse Prime (Red Book Audio) - Prime's Theme Hahaha, this is hilarious! So earnest and yet so unbearably cheesy because of it. Sounds like the theme from a 1980's Saturday morning cartoon more than anything. So bad it's good.

Not the best week in living memory, but a fitting slice of life for Week 150. SHOTGUN ATTACK!
