No one appreciates greatness.

Anyway...there's a song from Atelier Iris Eternal Mana 2 that I've wanted to nominate for awhile. What do people think about that? Has the Atelier series reached its limit here, or would an AIEM 2 nom still be OK?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Cold Winter Original Game Music Score - Really cool; dark, full, emotional strings mixed with drums, piano, choir. Kind of like Furious Angels?

Ugh. Most boring SotW winner in a long time. Gave me a "WHAT THE HECK THAT WON?" feeling.

Ones of Serenity and Mega Tokyo 2004 are at least decent, though still nothing really special.

I'm disappointed that more people didn't like Out Run Europa's Theme. I genuinely thought it had a good chance of taking 1st, as I think it's the coolest song to grace SotW in quite some time.

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

It wasn't a bad track, and I still like Jeroen Tel's work as a whole. I just found the sampling hits to be a bit too much. If Tel had focused less upon the idiosyncracies and more upon crafting the underlying melody that bound it all together, it would've been a stronger piece, IMO.
Are you saying you found the samples overbearing? Or, you think Tel concentrated too much on them and not enough on the melody? Because I think it all works together wonderfully. But then, I guess it gets a positive tilt from me, because I'm a percussionist (well, I was when I was in school), and I love great rhythm. This song shows that Tel knows how to make one funky-awesome rhythm.

I don't mind samples / sound effects, as long as they go with / add to the song, and I think Tel does a fine job with them, as evidenced here and in Hot Rod's theme (from BCC). I don't even really think of them as sound effects added to the song, I just think of them as part of the song. Unfortunately, it seems some people (not you) can't stand sound effects, even if they fit with the song.

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

This breaks my long, long, long dry streak. I don't think I've won since week eight or whenever when Home Sweet Home from Beyond Good and Evil won. Does anybody even have tallies on most Sotw wins?
No need. _DH_ must be like 3 ahead of the next nearest person.

I was speaking idiomatically.
