How ya doing, buddy?

Darwin the Monkey (Game Rip) - Darwin's Spirit Nifty world-music vibe , something that doesn't seem to crop up as much as it should around here. Very impressive.

Galaxy Robo (Game Rip) - Scramble Attack Reminds me a bit of Dynamite Headdy, with a similar overall vie and great melody/rhythm. Nice!

GUWANGE Arrange Album + Original Sound Track - Underworld Cherry Blossoms (Stage 3) Whenever cherry blossoms pop up in track titles I fear the music will be all ehru and taiko. This piece has a definite slant in that direction, but it's more focused on being all ambient, electronic, and vaguely mysterious. Has its moments, but seems a little bloated.

Kimi ga Nozomu Eien Game Arrange Soundtrack - Sunlight Very 1980's sitcom in its use of sax and guitar. Pure cheddar, but not all bad.

Mickey's Speedway USA (N64 Game Rip) - Battle Mode - Steamboat Looks like someone followed through on their BSC threat! Sadly, this song just doesn't measure up with a lot of bongo beats and not much else.

Sakura Wars V ~So Long, My Love~ Vocal Collection New York Complete Song Works - Shining Constellation Jap Bitch Can't Sing Weak was last week, pal! Way to miss the boat In all seriousness, this is a pretty standard species of moon song: the light romantic ballad. Not much to distinguish it from the light romantic ballads attached to hundreds of other JRPG's.

SkyRoads (Game Rip) - Twilight Zone Decent chiptunage, though a stronger melody would have helped make the best of its rather unique soundscape.

Yakusoku no Hi ni wa Kimi to Futari de ~ Kono Subarashiki Fukaku Sekai e - Kono Subarashiki Fukaku Sekai e (Original Ver.) More moon language in a slightly more poppish vein, lasting forever and ever. Meh.

This week has almost as much singing as last week, and there's a vast chasm of quality between the tops and bottoms.

The Point Spread
Darwin's Spirit - 3 pts.
Scramble Attack - 2 pts.
Twilight Zone - 1 pt.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
