EDIT: Bomberfunk isn't nearly funky enough; I'm disappointed. And not nearly enough happens for it to warrant consideration of a point.

A Wind of Aleroth is nice if you like solo flute (or whatever that is) pieces ... I guess?

Jeremy hits me right stylistically. It's more mood than melody, but it's a really nice mood so it'll get at least a point for sure. (After a few listens, I now really dig this. That piano is kind of hypnotic).

I dig jazz fusion, but CENTAUR is unfortunately way too short. The sound quality's a bit lacking as well.

Lynn's Village is too "generic rock." Also a victim of poor sound quality.

I've never been a fan of the hyper-kinetic style found in Base 2.

Legend isn't quite the "baroque" I was hoping for, but it's more interesting that most of what's on tap this week.

A Watering Hole in the Harbor is my nom. I admit I don't love it or anything; it's kind of insubstantial. But it's pretty pleasing to the ears and has an easy-going Celtic feel that I like. The acoustic section at 1:20 is particularly nice.

3 pts. - Jeremy
2 pts. - A Watering Hole in the Harbor
1 pt. - Legend
Close - CENTAUR

I'm not gonna nominate anything right now, 'cause if I did I'd probably just be mining a game I've nominated from multiple times in the past. I should be listening to a bunch of new vgm soon though, thanks to the recent Indie VGM Bundle. Hopefully I'll find some stuff to nominate in there.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Just found out about a wonderfully retro iOS game soundtrack, so here's a nom!

Album: Super Stick Golf: Original Soundtrack
Artist: Whitaker Blackall
Track Title: Cloud City
Track #: 9
Source: Bandcamp, VGMDB
Year: 2011 (game apparently came out in 2010)
Comments: It was hard to decide which track to nominate. I immediately wanted to go with "Funkier Town" due to my funk bias, then was gonna nominate "Mars" for its more ambitious build-up and longer running time, but decided to go with something fun that I think better represents the soundtrack.

Will upload shortly. Just realized I have no FTP client on my computer. (Yikes! Guess it's been almost a year and a half since I regularly nominated stuff? Or at least stuff that needed to be uploaded.)

EDIT: Switch from Mars to Cloud City.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
