Jam it back in, in the dark.

I was kind of hoping people would jump on this one, seeing as everyone but the few philistines like me seems to have a hard-on for racing musics. But no. Maybe the wi-fi in your Formula 1 is crappy.

0.9 - ultimate groove I'm note sure I would technically label this a groove, much less an ultimate one.

AeroGauge (Game Rip) - City 2065 Sounds like a battle theme from Okamiden moreso than a racing theme. I can't decide if that's a plus or minus as yet, since I am also one of the few philistines who didn't dig the calligraphy wolf.

Battle Gear 4 plus Battle Gear 4 Tuned Original Soundtrack - The Moment Of True Has a nice riff that could easily be developed into something neat and rock-opera-ish. But no, it just gets repeated 7 times.

F-ZERO GX-AX Original Soundtracks - CAPTAIN FALCON Yeah, yeah, Falcon punch to the eardrum, whee.

Jet Moto 2 (Red Book Audio) - Mach Schnell I am sure I have seen/heard this before (BSC, maybe?). Anyway, it's head and shoulders above the others in terms of catchiness, mostly thanks to that glorious synth melody.

Racing Lagoon Original Sound Track - TAIMAN Battle Has its moments, but loses all semblance of coherency around a quarter of the way in and never recovers.

San Francisco Rush - Extreme Racing (N64 Game Rip) - Rave Rush Ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh.

Turbo Out Run (C64 Game Rip) - Intro Even riddled with horrible synth trills and SFX as it is, this piece is like a breath of fresh air.

The Point Spread
Mach Schnell - 3 pts.
City 2065 - 2 pts.
Intro - 1 pt.

Not digging this week, but you knew that already.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

[tumbleweed]So much for people racing to vote![/tumbleweed]

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

I had back-to-back winners once, and I haven't won since. Fittingly, one was from Resonance of Fate

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