Figured I'd get this up, since it's already Monday night. I hope that's ok.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Of all the Chaos Legion songs.....you have odd taste.

My nomination is forthcoming. Trying to decide between a bunch of different possibilities. Among them The Incredible Machine 3, Halo 2 (one of Incubus' songs ), Sudeki, Kameo, Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows, and Sword Maniac. Oh, and an old DOS game. And Age of Mythology.

Initial listen points to a really good week, btw. That's something I don't say that often.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I've decided! (I think...)

Album: HALO 2 Original Soundtrack and New Music Vol. 1
Artist: Incubus
Track Title: 2nd Movement of the Odyssey
Track Number: 11
Catalog Number: SE-2013-2
Year: 2004
Source: GMR
File Location: Drakken's comp

This is a bit of a weird one. It's not a Marty O'Donnell song, but rather, something made by Incubus specifically for the game's soundtrack (as an "inspired by" song, I guess). Because of that, I think it should be ok; not many people have heard the non-Marty stuff on the cd.

The piece itself is, as the title suggests, part 2 in a 4-part "odyssey." It could be called progressive rock with an added bit of randomness. I've grown to enjoy it.

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

I've heard 2nd Movement of the Odyssey and the rest of the album.

Double Post:
Also, I'd say that, if Halo 2 is ineligible, Grandia 3 should be as well.

Ok. See, that's what I'm wondering - whether people here are familiar with the Incubus songs from the soundtrack. I know full well that the game was insanely popular, but that shouldn't matter in this case, because these aren't songs that were in the game. And yeah, the soundtrack was popular too, but people got it for Marty O'Donnell, not Incubus. I'd like to know how many people here have heard them, because really, that matters more than what the perceived exposure is.

I've definitely heard the Incubus songs from the soundtrack, and I believe that they also got some airtime on the radio as well.

Regular stations play ~7 minute progressive rock instrumentals by Incubus?

As for Grandia III, I wouldn't say that's an automatic no. Were there Grandia III tracks in BSC?

I was speaking idiomatically.

Listening one final time now; will edit with my votes in a bit.

I rather enjoyed this week. Good noms, people.

Gah, too hard to do anything other than give out a lot of 1s.

1 pt. - An Ulterior Motive - Very nice groovy feel to it. I particularly like this kind of music.
1 pt. - Ruined Heart - Interesting piano. Certainly never dull or predictable.
1 pt. - Izayoi Sakuya Stage - Good; wish there was more to it, though.
1 pt. - Mororina: The Elegant Coward - Nice mallets feature at 1:45 and on. Liked the strings part that came in briefly at 2:38. Transitioned nicely at around 3:00.
1 pt. - Whispers From a Council Past - I can dig it. Kind of haunting. I imagine it accomplishes its purpose in the game very well. Did anyone else hear what sounded kind of like faint voices at one part?
1 pt. - Field to Tomorrow - Not one of my favorites from Lunar 2, but a solid song nonetheless. Kind of turned off to it since I've heard it a bunch before, unfortunately.

Lapse of Time - K, that off-beat pulse seemed like an odd choice the first one or two times I listened to the song. I don't mind it as much now, though. Still, I don't think odd/different automatically makes a song cooler. What does make it cooler though is the drums and additional strings part coming in at around 1:37.

The Last Story - It's ok, I guess. I wasn't a huge fan of Idola in BSC, but that seems like a better song than this.

Most amazing jew boots

Ah, nice to see songs I voted for get in the top 3. Good week.

I'll prepare this week's songs now.
