Song of the Week - WEEK 66 Voting/WEEK 67 Nominating

Dr. Uzuki raised the valid point that there were something like 6 Musashiden II tracks in BSC. Elorin then offered to withdraw his nom in favor of someone else's if it was indeed too well-known. I'd have to say with that many songs in BSC this year, Musashiden II is not exactly SotW material anymore.

No problems.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I guess the thing is that originally I was going for tracks with mainly percussion and not strong melodies, since I wanted the focus to be on percussion, rather than regular songs with melodies that featured heavier/better than usual percussion. It was hard to get 8 of the former, so it wound up being a mix of both.

It was worth a try, imo.

Anyway, I decided to go with my 3 favorites from this week and give them each 2 points.

2 pts. - Age of Mythology - Chocolate Outline - AoM has some of the best use of percussion in any game I've ever heard. Chocolate Outline is probably one of the best tracks.
2 pts. The Incredible Machine 3 - Techno Rave - I nominated this one purely because it's the best percussion track I've ever heard groove-wise. You won't find a variety of instruments in here. It's more like a drumline playing a bunch of cool rhythms and is really easy for me to get into.
2 pts. - Suikoden III - Complex Thoughts - I've listened to this many times, since it's one of the first noms that was made for percussion week. I really like it; it creates a neat mood.

Maple Story - Beachway - Simple, yes. But, it's cute. Apologies to orion for accepting this and not accepting your original Hako no Niwa nom, but at the time, I was still looking for more than just mallet percussion. Eventually had to take what we got, though.
Koudelka - Kiss Twice - This one's good, but unfortunately I don't have another point to give it.

-spray- boss and Ruthless are the most purely percussive songs of the week; though they both are mainly just drumset. Regardless, they feature some nice drumwork.

I encourage anyone who likes Chocolate Outline to check out the rest of Age of Mythology's music. It's really high quality (and unique) stuff. Mostly of a similar style to this.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'd say it's ok. Wario may be well-known, but it's not about the character behind the game, it's about the music. I've never heard Wario World's music and have no idea how it is or what it sounds like. I mean, I could guess, but you know. I've never heard it discussed, either, so I don't think it's just me.

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

Whoa, Ruthless got 3rd? I didn't see that coming. I'll have to check out the STC thread.

Yay for Chocolate Outline getting 1st place! Now go get the rest of AoM's music, everyone!

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