Jam it back in, in the dark.

Wow, two voters in two weeks. I can tell that the burgeoning Baten Kaitos controversy really touched a nerve (for the record: not too popular for SotW). If things don't pick up we'll have to take things into an unprecedented 3rd week.

Bomb Jack (Game Boy Game Rip) - Title Excellent chiptune chops all around with a blisteringly good melody. If BCC2 ever becomes a reality (whaddaya say Drakken?), this will do well. It'll be hard to beat this for my #1 spot this week.

Extra ~Official Compilation~ - THE PHOENIXION -Extra Mix- The vocals are decent and there's a nice latin feel, but this never really seemed to come together and go anywhere which is a shame.

Perfect Collection Sorcerian Vol. 2 - SORCERIAN SUPER MEGA MIX Part 2 These Sorcerian songs always try to outdo each other with the adjectives: Forever Omni Perfect Flawless Sorcerian - SORCERIAN ULTRA MEGA HIGH OCTANE FUEL INJECTED. I guess it's an attempt to compensate for some rather meh music, in this case.

Persona 4 Original Soundtrack - The Almighty There is a way to combine this series' trademark techno and rock stylings into something fabulous. This isn't it; they keep forgetting the melody.

THE ACES HIGH: RAIDEN RARE TRACKS - Limit exceed (Level4) It gets the job done as far as high-flying synths are concerned but doesn't do much that's out of the ordinary.

Thief: The Dark Project (Game Rip) - Credits I guess grinding techno loops really do suggest a medieval fantasy sneaker, don't they? The beats are fine, but there's no substance--no anything else!

Unreal Tournament III The Soundtrack - Necris Attacks (Extended Version) this is a more interesting sequence of grinding techno loops but it's still missing any kind of melodic chops to make it interesting; doesn't feel like a complete song.

ZUNTATA HISTORY L'ab-normal 1st - Let's Be Friends! Everyone's Friends!! (Mizubaku Daibouken) It's cutesy and saccharine and annoying (what's with the typewriter and squeaky toy SFX?) but still rather catchy despite it all.

Really wretched week, which might explain the lack of voting interest.

The Point Spread
Title - 3 pts.
Let's be Friends etc. - 2 pts.
Phoenixeon - 1 pt.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
