Good call. Sorry about the link problems and the lingering traces of ye olde crappe in the opening post; it seemed like a good idea at the time.

Also, I hope our participants will forgive our more active members for horribly butchering them in cold blood, again and again

There's nowhere I can't reach.

20th anniversary a TRIBUTE to GAME-sounds for music-CD - Comic Star (Take the A-Train) The opening was just painful, but the tune takes on a much more pleasant surf-rock vibe once it gets going. Still kind of underwhelming, with lots of annoying mixed-in quotes, terrible interludes, and a hefty borrowing from Surfin' Safari.

Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden (Game Rip) - johnathan taylor thomas The fact that this game even exists is equal parts bizarre and awesome. The music is actually not half bad; dark SNES-style music is a rich vein.

Fang of Alnam - YUHSHI With a name like that I expected an all-out bubblegum assault of sugary cuteness and bad singing. Instead the song is rather similar to the last tune--a dark older-gen sound--this one a bit more complex. The piano figures especially reminded me of Mitsuda; rather good overall.

LEGEND CONSUMER SERIES: Summer Carnival '92 RECCA FAMICOM SOUNDTRACK - JSR $2302 (Summer Carnival '92 Recca Arrange Version) I'd have thought that title was a parody if VGMdb didn't confirm it. The radical tone shift a third of the way through is kind of jarring, but leads to the best section of the music, dark and driving techno lickx. The last bit, unfortunately, is kind of silly.

Luster ~ Music from BRIGANTY PC98ver. - Coda "BRIGANTY" (Ending) Pleasant bit of synth swing, this. Sounds kind of similar to a few songs that have popped up in recent weeks, but it's fundamentally sound.

Namco Game Sound Express VOL.11 Ridge Racer - Feeling over (UNDERGROUND) Sounds about like I thought it would; works well enough if you're driving fast I gues,s but not the sort of thing I'd listen to on my own.

Sam & Max Season Two Soundtrack - Woo! Nice bit of Latin salsa--reminds me of Grim Fandango, come to think of it. It works, but the title had me expecting a comic romp of epic proportions.

Sega Smash Pack: Volume 1 (Game Rip) - Back in Time Very nice 80's style techno with a spacey sound to it. I'm crazy about stuff like this at the moment (nostalgia, maybe?). The random bleeps could probably be dropped, but it's otherwise rather great.

The Point Spread
Back in Time - 2 pts.
YUHSHI - 1 pt.
Coda "BRIGANTY" (Ending) - 1 pt.
johnathan taylor thomas - 1 pt.
Woo! - 1 pt.

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