2 points: Mining Melancholy
1 point: Gang-Plank Galleon
1 point: Re-Skewed
1 point: Stage BGM 7
1 point: Ocean Force Point Temple
a tip of my hat: Darkmoon Caverns

I had a hard time with this one. To me, Mining Melancholy was the best of the group, but most of the rest of them were also pretty good as well, except... Pause Music was too simplistic, though I will admit is it awesome for a track that plays while a game is paused. Title Screen was good while it lasted, but was too short to seriously compete with the others.

That left the ones listed above. I had to listen to them several times over before deciding which one to place on the chopping block. Stage BGM 7 is pretty good for a chiptune and Ocean Force Point Temple is a well done ambient track. Among Darkmoon Caverns and the two remaining "monkeytunes", Darkmoon Caverns was not as catchy to me as the "monkeytunes" after listening to all of the tracks several times over, though it is very well done for a N64 racing game. Placing it on the chopping block was a difficult decision, though it shall remain in my music collection despite never having played Diddy Kong Racing before.

Speaking of Rareware games, that brings me to my nomination...

Nomination:

Album: Conker's Bad Fur Day Soundtrack
Artist: Robin Beanland, Henry Purcell
Disc #: 1 (of 1)
Track #: 9 of 18
Track Title: Rock Solid
Catalogue Number: RARECBFD01
Year: 2001
Additional Info: This is the first time I've heard of this "Henry Purcell". I thought Conker's Bad Fur Day was all Robin Beanland until I looked up this album's info on VGMdb.

I uploaded this nomination to the FTP server several hours ago.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
