Song of the Week - WEEK 77 Voting/WEEK 78 Nominating

Digital Devil Saga Avatar Tuner Soundtrack CD - Muahahalol
A nice chill-out track that creates a... nice chill-out atmosphere. It's a bit short, and the repetition is quite felt. If certain percussive elements are repetitive, it's isn't so grave as when melodic fragments do. Chiptunes can be repetitve.

Gate of Thunder (Red Book Audio) - Dark City
An intense track with an ok melody. I'd wish the timbre was more diverse though.

Granado Espada Soundtrack CD - Supercooled Girl
A really "cool" track. Hardly a memorable melody, but still very interesting music. Timbre does wonders here, if you directly compare it to Dark City.

GRANDIA III ~original sound tracks~ - Sabatal
Grandia is as popular as hell. I refused to say anything simply because I thought it was obvious. Never mind. A nice laid-back, does nothing wrong, but let's see whether it can hold up to the more elusive ones... like

Phantasy Star Online Songs of RAGOL Odyssey -Soundtrack EPISODE1&2- - 'IDOLA' have the divine blade
It sure is elusive. In my opinion this track simply lacks the focus in the chaos that the strange fruits had. Strange fruits had a really awesome melody, in some parts creating stark contrast to its wickedness. That said, it's still a nice track, the chaos of which is interesting to hear.

Space Station Silicon Valley (Game Rip) - Fun in the Sun
I mostly enjoy the beginning (first minute or so), then it doesn't add something new, instead goes into percussion mode, towards the end it gets a bit "samey". It's rather unfortunate, at least have the high points somewhere in the middle or towards the end. Still a decent track as a whole.

Tokimeki Memorial 2 ORIGINAL GAME SOUNDTRACK vol. 1 - Meeting With You ~ Happy Ending (Instrumental)
Tokimeki Memorial music is very sentimental, I'd say it's half-hentai. Even though the track is uplifting, some kind of reservedness is still present. I bet there is a vocal version for this song, as some half-melodic-half-percussive parts are ideal for that, end then the repetitive roll-out, just perfect for a vocal song. I like it, still I can't get rid of the feeling that it's missing something.

www.ssh.ne.jp - Ultimate Destroyer
Awesome track, reminds me of his last strike, Tobi Tsukihime - Stage 5 amVirus a bit.

In conclusion, a "grood" week. Even the track I didn't give points to had something going on for them.
