Batman (NES Game Rip) - Stages 1 & 5 - Gotham City & Cathedral Should game music based on established franchises be judged against the existing music from those franchises? I can't think of anyonw who would say yes, yet I can't help feeling that subconsciously this track suffers in comparison to Danny Elfman's 1989 score. It's decent enough by NES synth standards, and the melody is nice, but something's missing for me.
Cool Cool Toon Sound Track - Yussa Yussa You (Nice Body Yussa) Yussa got a song with nice synthy melody and effects. Yussa be a little repetitive, and would have been better with more variety. Yussa got a sucky ending, though. Yussa still a solid track with nice body. Darwinia (Game Rip) - Impact of Silence There's a lot of silence before this track really gets started, and it doesn't have much impact. Things are very nice once they heat up, but the quieter bits, with loooong pauses between notes can be a bit of a chore. This may have been an intentional choice, but a tighter arrangement would have resulted in a stronger song. Gyakuten Saiban Yomigaeru Gyakuten Original Soundtrack - Ryuichi Naruhodo ~ Objection! 2001 ME: "Your Honor, I object!" JUDGE: "On what grounds, counsel?" ME: "The defendant, while presented as a complete song, is really the name nine notes over and over again without variation or complexity!" JUDGE: "Sustained! One more outburst like that, Gyakuten Saiban Yomigaeru Gyakuten, and I will hold you in contempt!" Kyusai no Giho (Technique of Relief) - Mother Japanese singing over instrumental backing that's chaotic and poorly arranged. This track lined up and hit my musical pet peeves like ducks in a shooting gallery, though these are admittedly personal biases. Like Life Original Soundtrack - Decoy Nice bit of vaguely quirkin' or relaxin', but not much going on aside from the main melody repeated ad nauseum until the fiddle kicks in midway through. The result is that the track feels padded, with a lot of filler. Shadowgate 64: Trials of the Four Towers (N64 Game Rip) - Tower of Lakmir Some nice orchestral touches, but the track always felt like it was on the verge of completely falling apart, with the instruments never quite in sync and ready to go into full-on dissonant error at any moment. Street Fighter EX2 - PRECIOUS HEART (Sakura) The sultry 1985 sax returns. More than anything, this sounds like something Dave Grusin would have scored a movie with in the 80's--lightweight, disposable, and very much tied to that era in time, so much so that it sounds out of place in any other context. Not much to remind one of streets on the fighting on thereof. Very mediocre week (but, then again, what do I know?). The Point Spread 2 pts - The Batman 2 pts - Youssa Got a Nice Body 1 pt - Too Much Silence 1 pt - A Lot Like Life Just missed - 1985 Jazz Club Fighter (feat. Dave Grusin) How ya doing, buddy?
