Song of the Week - WEEK 65 Voting/WEEK 66 Nominating

Punk Cyborg Battle 1 - This chiptune is better than most, I have to say. It's got a great beat and plenty of ROCK'N. It reminds me of a cross between Final Fantasy and Gradius with its focus and great composition.

Baba Yetu - This is my nomination, and I nominated it because from the first time I heard it on the title screen of Civ IV I was captivated by it. I actually stopped just before the game would've started so I could listen to the entire thing. It, like Voyage (The Moon) before it, has a WONDERFUL SPECTACULAR layered melody that melts me like butter, and while the vocals aren't as technically proficient as other SotW tracks have had on them, they're used more as an instrument instead of the main driving thrust of the song, and that works to their advantage. I simply LOVE this song.

Desert - Blizzard can't make good music to save their fucking lives. End of story.

Duty vs. Passion - This is a bit of a non sequitur for me, because this sounds like something out of the Tales... games, but it's in Max Payne. A haunting melody with woodwinds on the lead... except it gets REALLY repetitive in the middle. :/

Be warped time = Hm. I'm not too sure what to say about this one. On the one hand it's rather listenable, but on the other hand... doesn't have much in the way of substance.

King Leo's Theme - Daaaaark... aaaaaangsty..... rooooooock. With piano. Basically sounds like just about every other SNK soundtrack that's been released in the past 5 or so years. :/

SLAUGHTER HOUR (AREA7) - Wow. This is... weird. And in a good way. Hooray for random voice clips! And it's a good thing the melody kicked in when it did, because I was about to write it off as weird but ambient, and my AMBIENT BIAS would've kicked in. This one actually switches itself up nicely and provides a pleasant listen. :O

The Last Dungeon - Whoa. There's a reason the chip squeaks when you go that high. DON'T TRY THOSE HIGH NOTES. Other than that, I really love the jazzy melody here. Interesting chiptune.

THE VOTES NOW.

3 points for Baba Yetu
2 points for SLAUGHTER HOUR (AREA7
1 point for Punky Cyborg Battle

Jam it back in, in the dark.

SonicPanda, to clarify, the theme weeks are created by 8 people deliberately withholding nominations and then all entering in at the exact same time, therefore all of their nominations are "new" and are put at the top of the list. This has been done before and probably will be done again just as long as it doesn't happen too often. And it actually can't, unless 16 people plan two back-to-back theme weeks.

Most amazing jew boots

Congratulations, Mo0

Thank you, agreed. It's been a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooong time coming.

Granted, I should've been disqualified from nominating after that horrendous track from Street Fighter 3. ;_;

But...

FINALLY! <3

I'm already a sign of the apocalypse! Get your own corner of the apocalypse!

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

Fixed.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I have the answer.

Uzuki's version is more awesome than all the others.
