Dammit, I thought I had them all. CHz normally does the queue and he's got the rhythm down. You're in the queue now.

Also, if Stalky nominated something and I missed it, I quit

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

That's it, I quit.

Nah, it's fine. You'll just have to wait until next week, which is enough time to track down some info on the song

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Age of Empires III Original Soundtrack - Major Rewrite / General Chunks Wasn't quite sure what to expect from this one, but I was pleasantly surprised. The rolling pianos are really neat, and the way the track builds in intensity over its first half is quite neat. The second half is a bit of a change, but still good.

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 - Uprising (PC Game Rip) - Yuriko's Theme I've been hearing a lot of James Hannigan lately but mostly his Pottertunes--this is a much different sound, which makes sense. The vocals are quite nicely done compared to the shrillness they usually deliver. I was hoping for a bit more from the song, since it has a promising beginning, but it's still rather neat.

Lost Technology ~ Thunder Force Sound Track - Steel of Destiny Haven't I heard this somewhere before under a different name? There's nothing in the instrumentation or melody to make this stand out from hundreds of nigh-identical songs.

Segacon -The Best of Sega Game Music- Vol.1 - SHINOBI (Super Shinobi 2) I don't mind that the sound is dated, and it has a vaguely ninja-like sound in places, but the music is kind of bland and way too short.

Shinobi Original Soundtrack - Hiroe Temple (Stage 7-A) A double dose of Shinobi this week, it seems! this has a much stronger ninja-feel and some neat electronic effects, but it never really seems to go anywhere.

SimAnimals Original Videogame Score - Forest Song (End Credits) This song--and the whole album--have a really neat sound, a sort of pastoral/jazzy Gershwin mix. It provides a jaunty rendition of the game's main theme alongside an affecting flute-led interlude that's just gorgeous.

Toki Tori - Forest Falls I remember liking a Toki Tori song in the BCC, and this pleasant banjo-led tune is similarly nice. The melody is fetching and the instruments are creative enough to help it stand out.

Vib Ribbon (Red Book Audio) - Sunny Day Mmm, not feeling the vocals on this one. Ironically, I like the Japanese vocals written by a Westerner for C&C to the English lyrics written by an Easterner for this.

Good week overall!

The Point Spread
Forest Song - 3 pts.
Major Rewrite - 1 pt.
Yuriko's Theme - 1 pt.
Forest Falls - 1 pt.

Thinking up a nomination took a little longer than I thought it would I've gone about a year without any nominations from this composer, so I figure it's time to break one out.

Composer: Jeremy Soule
Album: Amen: The Awakening
Track Title: Memory of the First Touch
Year: 2000
Notes: Originally released on MP3.com after the game's cancellation.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
