Song of the Week - WEEK 97 Voting/WEEK 98 Nominating

This will likely change, because I have a lot of songs in my potential noms playlist, and this isn't necessarily one of my favorites. Well, I like it, but I feel there are stronger songs I could nominate.

Album: Elebits (Wii rip)
Artist: Konami (?)
Track Title: Extras Mode
Track #: 33
Year: 2006
Notes: This is from a rip that someone at the ffshrine forums made. Don't know his name, but I can look it up if necessary.

Most amazing jew boots

That version does indeed sound better; thanks. I've changed it now.

How ya doing, buddy?

Will voting be closing tonight, or will it be extended a week? I definitely want to distribute points this week.

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

Boss is a solid chiptune. It's unfortunate that it had to turn up in a week like this.

Moonwalk was cool, but considering the competition, it wasn't enough to get a point. Also went on for just a tad too long considering its lack of variation.

Rocket punch was decent. Might have gotten a point in another week, but again, this week is really good, yadda yadda yadda.

Chiezuna and Midia - This seems like a quality piece, but I don't think I'm appreciating it as much as I should. I guess I don't find it as interesting as the other material being offered this week.

Charge - Once again, DH's nom is right up my alley. Can't go wrong with his noms, it seems. This one's a bit different from normal in that it's a two-parter. The first half is solid jazz, and the second half is more of a nice jazzy soft rock ballad. It's quite wonderful, actually. The trumpet at 4:04 is the clincher.

New Brightwater - My nom. I have to thank my old partner on "The VG Experience" (a Live365 vgm radio station I used to run) for introducing me to this song. It's a wonderful chill-out piece; it does a good job of setting up an "audio-scape", if you will. You could fault it for being repetitive, but I've found it to not be a huge deal, maybe because it's more of a background song as opposed to an active listening one? Regardless, it's just really nice. I love the main guitar melody, simple and short as it may be.

Diamond Meditation - This is kind of a neat, quirky song. The synth sound and its melody remind me of Jazz Jackrabbit 2's music. Too bad this one's so short.

Chillin' in the Trainer's Hut - Short as it may be, this one's awesome. And by awesome I mean totally ethereal, beautiful, and other such words. This was actually on my potential noms list, though I shied away from it due to its length. Hopefully it gets (er, got) the love it deserves.

2 pts. - New Brightwater
2 pts. - Charge
1 pt. - Chillin' in the Trainer's Hut
1 pt. - Diamond Meditation

Observation: While I still find DH's noms to be very good, it seems GFF's tastes have shifted away from the kinds of songs he nominates. They used to get golds practically every time, and now they don't even place. Odd.

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

Aw, I was sure New Brightwater was going to take the gold.

Regardless, I'm glad people enjoyed it.

Who nominated Diamond Meditation?

I was speaking idiomatically.
