Song of the Week - WEEK 59 Voting/WEEK 60 Nominating

Yesterday still, I wanted to make other comments than today, so let’s see.

Batman (NES Game Rip) - Stages 1 & 5 - Gotham City & Cathedral has 3 or 4 different nice melodic segments and for a chiptune 1 or so minutes are fine. It’s favourable that it’s rather climatic as well as I kinda just like the synth.

Cool Cool Toon Sound Track - Yussa Yussa You (Nice Body Yussa) Sup, Yussa? I guess this just a very cool track, that tickles my fancy. Listening to it I just want to leave the house to kick some garbage bins on the street. My choice.

Darwinia (Game Rip) - Impact of Silence These kind of atmospheric tracks have to be somewhat special, to stir something up in me. The beginning piano segments are alright, but also rather boring. It does lead up to something awesome in 1:24, but ironically it has little to do with “Impact of Silence” then… haha. It does have a convincing atmosphere though, I give it that.

Gyakuten Saiban Yomigaeru Gyakuten Original Soundtrack - Ryuichi Naruhodo ~ Objection! 2001 It’s listenable, but short as this comment! (to a fault incomplete)

Kyusai no Giho (Technique of Relief) - Mother One thing it has do with my particular indifference towards the theme. I just don’t really understand what this is all about. The other thing, it just sounds very messy to me.

Like Life Original Soundtrack - Decoy A bit repetitive, but not really boring. 1:28 brings in some fresh air and saves it from being too monotone, otherwise the ground layer does provide an interesting relaxing mood. Literally a nice track.

Shadowgate 64: Trials of the Four Towers (N64 Game Rip) - Tower of Lakmir Not merely functional, but the whole theme is kinda hypnotic and I don’t like this. Another track I don’t really understand.

Street Fighter EX2 - PRECIOUS HEART (Sakura) Umm… I can’t really deny any quality of this track. As a whole I just notice, that the improvisation didn’t always suit my ears, the melody feels forced sometimes, and there’s too much saxophone. Haha, otherwise I liked the other 70% of the track.

Point Spread a la orion:

3 Points: Yussa kicks some grandma
1 Point: Very bad, man!
1 Point: Death and Decay
1 Point: My Preciousssssssssss

(hope it’s not too cryptic >_>)

Jam it back in, in the dark.

You could argue that the whole (to me boring) „silent“ buildup… was just there to make an „impact” when it suddenly strikes the awesome at 1:24 , like the more silence before the more impact thereafter… I considered it too, but alas.

Most amazing jew boots

I'd like to thank all who have wished me well, the staff members who have kept this event running smoothly for over a year and of course all the participants who have kept things lively with their colourful comments. I know I've been harsh in some of my reviews but it was all in good fun. I'm sure some of you will be happy to see no more of the jazzy 1970's/80's style nominations from me while others will miss them...who knows, maybe I'll stop by one day and drop in a surprise nomination
Until then, I hope someone keeps the ROCKIN' and JAZZIN' alive!

You'd be the last one I expect to lead a marriage life. Good luck with it, dude. By the way, I never felt your comments were harsh, as you seem to know by heart what you like and what not, and that's good. Hope you return someday.

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