No rush. And hey, by posting you've made it possible for me to vote without it getting automerged into the first post!

Bomberman Hero (Game Rip) - Action Scene B A decent beat, but there's just not enough going on to maintain interest.

Coded Soul Uke Keigareshi Idea - Gail's Theme A mixture of the sentimental piano character theme with a generous amount of new age atmosphere. Love the melody and the overall atmosphere.

G.T.R. - Wendy touch Is it just me or does "Wendy touch" sound like something out of hardcore hentai? Then again, maybe that's exactly where this song is from. That aside, this is a decent piece all around, if a little cheesy at times.

Little Samson (NES Game Rip) - Lickle's Theme This reminds me of MM4 in that it has the NES sound down cold and all the right ingredients, but never quite manages to come together in a really interesting way.

Obscure 2 - Corruption with Rage and Melancholy As Alone on the Dark showed, if there's one composer that knows his way around a choir, it's Olivier Deriviere. This piece combines vocals and dark Yamaoka-esque atmospherics to good effect. A few nasty electronic squeals in the background are the only real minus.

Perfect Selection Dracula ~New Classic~ - Theme from "The Legend of Dracula" This synthpop sound is probably the last thing I'd associate with Vlad Dracul, but once that cognitive dissonance is overcome it's actually quite excellent. The violin melody is especially nice,

Silent Scope Trilogy Original Soundtrack - DEADLY INVITATION I've seen this game at dozens of arcades but never actually played it (maybe if there were more hot girl powerups I'd have ventured a quarter on it). The music is fine, if not particularly memorable.

Timesplitters: Future Perfect (Game Rip) - Spaceport While the trance sound is appropriately spacey, the song lasts a geologic age and never really does anything noteworthy (a lot like your garden variety trance track, come to think of it).

The Point Spread
Gail's Theme – 3 pts.
Corruption w/ a side of Rage & Melancholy sauce – 2 pts.
Theme from LoD – 1 pt.

Nom nom nom
Composer: Kunihiko Ryo, In-Roh Joo
Album: Aion (gamerip)
Track Title: The Still, Sad World
Year: 2008
Additional Information: Ripped as an ogg from the game's files and converted.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The music has been available for over a year; hell, my gamerip is from 2008. I didn't even know the game had a western release, frankly.

Nominate them then! I doubt anyone would even notice unless you call attention to it. Plus fast and loose is the new watchword here at SotW.

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