This is a very bittersweet battle for me: five runners-up (a personal best) but no winners. Since it's been 6-8 months since I heard most of these, let's comment on each:

Tower of Heaven - Original Soundtrack - Stairway to Revelation Hearing "Indignant Divinity" 345,687,985,002 times in the BSC has given me a bit more appriciation for this. It's got the same melody, but done in a much more deliberate and (dare I say) downbeat fashion. I'd still take ID in a head-on pairing, but this is still a potent faux chippy.

Racing Lagoon Original Sound Track - TAIMAN Battle Vanilla racing song is vanilla. It might be the best of its weak week but I'm still as meh about it as ever.

Invaders Corruption - The Soundtrack - Liquid Dance Faux-chiptunes are popular these days, and this one is okay. Doesn't measure up to ToH, but then again what does?

Megalomachia2 - SUPER-REFLEX Busy and bright SNES-era muzak. Doesn't set the world on fire but good for what it is.

Music Contest 4 (The Hornet Archive) - Universe Electric Not quite up to AB's usual standard of tracker excellence, but still a cut above a lot of tracker stuff out there.

Shatter - Official Videogame Soundtrack - Kinetic Harvest I've gotten heartily sick of Shatter's schtick through the BSC. I've downgraded my opinion from "tecent techno with touches of trance" to "boring vanilla trance."

MDK Original Game Soundtrack - Vengeful Alien A little tinny but decent rock hybrid.

Frogatto & Friends (Game Rip) - FrogattoTitle Still smooth and synthy and 100 billion times longer than it needs to be.

The Point Spread
Stairway to Revelation - 3 pts.
FrogattoTitle - 2 pts.
Universe Electric - 1 pt.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

An alternative? Like forming a posse and hunting down wayward voters?

I'd be up for that.

I guess pointing out which songs are prestigious alumni doesn't quite cut it, huh?

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