Screw you guys. You can't nominate one of my all time favorite Megadrive soundtracks to go up against my own nomination. That just isn't right. Also, anything by Lucasarts up until Grim Fandango. Not fair.

Screw you guys.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Bah, how can I choose between those two! I should probably just do a 2-2-2 split then, give my nom a few points as well. It is a pretty good song, after all. I'll come up with a proper post for this later I hope, I'm swamped in work. I really wanna express my love for the ToeJam & Earl soundtrack...

I'm surprised that Lucasarts' entire adventure game catalog isn't banned from this yet, to be honest!

-edit-
So yeah ToeJam & Earl is one of those soundtracks that totally blew my mind when I heard it. it came at a time when a lot of Megadrive soundtracks were very twanky and just plain ugly, and this was like a breath of fresh air. I don't really remember this track specifically (and the arrangement makes it harder to recognize I guess), but it's close enough that I'm all nostalgic goo for it! Plus, it's super groovy.

This version of the Monkey Island theme is extremely beautiful and full of life. I don't know what else to say about it, it's just great.

Leander is mostly just nostalgic to me, I was a huge 4mat fan a long time ago. It's still a great track I think, great quality considering the time it was made and all.

I don't know what you guys are hearing in that phantasmagoria track, but it just sounds like super generic tripe to me. Especially compared to the rest of these tracks! It's so devoid of any passion or individuality, it sounds like a million other songs by a million other composers, completely bland. It's not even really bad, cause that would mean it's something. It is super long however and I haven't been able to listen to the whole thing without getting too bored and just putting on something else instead, so maybe it picks up after 5 or 6 minutes, and they are so mindblowing that they make up for the rest of it!

There's nowhere I can't reach.
