There's nowhere I can't reach.

Alien Carnage (Game Rip) - seb7 (opening credits) This is the kind of long, C64-style chiptune that is inexplicably popular. The rhythm's decent enough, but there's not nearly enough going on to justify its bloated length.

BANGAI-O SPIRITS Audio Collection Plus - Exploding Bounce Bounces all over the place, but isn't really all that cohesive or memorable.

Concerto ~ Mitsumete Knight - Lost Timbre Nice, gentle piece with a definite hint of Earthbound's "love theme" in its melody.

Dark Reign 2 (Red Book Audio) - In-Game 1 They nail the dark part of the title pretty well. The Bond-style strings beneath everything are nice, but a lot of the music is just electronic muck and stock effects.

Destroy All Humans! Path of the Furon (Game Rip) - Vegas Baby! Garry Schyman's definitely and up and comer in my book, mixing deadly serious stuff like Bioshock with affable silliness like this. Unlike a lot of stuff that's funk for funk's sake, this uses a gret melody and lots of little nice touches to set an atmosphere and be interesting to hear.

Live Music by Piano and Strings - 7th Dragon Super Arrange Version - Labyrinth - Jungle Navigation The live instruments are nice, and there are parts of the piano and guitar meanderings that are quite nice, but overall the piece is too laid-back and sedate for its own good.

Super Valis IV (Game Rip) - Vecanti Knight's description had me thinking this would be something really zany or creative. Sadly, aside from some nifty synth xylophone, it's pretty much vanilla shmuppery.

Umineko no Naku Koro ni musicbox Blue - hope More decent piano music to close out the week. Like the others, it seems a little thin, albeit with nice parts and ambient qualities.

The Point Spread
Vegas Baby - 3 pts.
Lost Timber - 1 pt.
Jungle Navigation - 1 pt.
Hope - 1 pt.

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

I'd suggest a program like FileZilla. If worst comes to worst you can drop a Sendspace or Megaupload link.
