Jam it back in, in the dark.

Aekanaru Sekai no Owari ni Original Soundtrack 'Routine' - Nagi's Theme Fun and quirky Kikuta-esque funk.

Assault Rigs (PSX Red Book Audio) - Steam 1 Uh oh. Nuh uh. Uh oh. Nuh uh. Uh oh. Nuh uh. Uh oh.

Create Original Videogame Score - Skate Park Shuffle Create might be a lame and shameless attempt to cash in on LBP, but the music's great. This one especially has a lot of movement, melody, and funk to spare.

Knights in the Nightmare Perfect Audio Collection - Battle in the Royal Crypt It has all the ingredients for an epic SRPG sound, but the overall result lis less than the sum of its parts.

Ninja Baseball Bat Man (Game Rip) - Stage 1 - In Seattle Hit me. Whoo. Whoo. Oh yeah. Whoo. Whoo. Oh yeah.

Power Stone 2 (Dreamcast Game Rip) - Extra Stage 2 Nothing says "anime fighting game" quite like laid-back jazz muzak.

starmine - bass 2 bass -Remo-con Tech Dance Remix- Sorry, nominator, but this hyper-repetitive house/trance/same two notes for 20 minutes music is like watching linoleum curl unless you're on uppers and surrounded by neon laser beams.

www dot newgrounds dot com - Final Encounter Aims high, but is kinds tinny and anemic.

The Point Spread
Skate Park Shuffle - 3 pts.
Nagi's Theme - 2 pts.
Battle in the Royal Crypt - 1 pt.

Noms to come.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Welcome! Always good to see new participants.

You have got the nomination thing down pretty good. Normally we only nominate one song at a time, so you might want to re-post those other two when their time comes.

You can if you want. I wouldn't worry about Terranigma though; if CHz doesn't have a copy he can find one from such a well-liked game with his mad leet VGM hunting skillz.

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

Okay, here you go. We'll see if the bitter taste of defeat has a unique aftertaste this time around:

Album: Ten Plants
Artist: Ymoh. S
Track #: 4
Track Title: Kurolera the Production Plant Chief
Year: 1998
Additional Info: Original concept album featuring VGM composers.

Here's a Halloween/spooky theme week nomination (er, hope it qualifies since this is a theme for a nightmarish character and has some kind of spooky sections):

* Album Title: NiGHTS ~Journey of Dreams~ Original Soundtrack

So the brutal serial killer music is normal, and the colorful G-rated Saturn game is spooky? Just making sure I have this straight

I was speaking idiomatically.
