[SotW] Song of the Week - WEEK 143 Voting/WEEK 144 Nominating

If it went a bit further I might've objected, but I really don't remember that track at all, so I'm fine with it as well.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I may be biased, but Bangai-O GO! sounds pretty freakin' great to me right now. What a fun game! The sound quality isn't the best, but the song is really fun, so I can't complain too much. It's the kind of stuff I would make.

Neo Contra just seems like a failed attempt at a SSH track. I guess it's hard to measure up to such greatness, and this track certainly doesn't.

Putty Squad is a cute track, very Amiga once it gets going a bit, which unfortunately takes a while. It's not too bad, but a bit too minimal for me overall.

The start of Bad Guys really reminds me of some Outrun Coast2Coast track, but this track isn't quite as cool, and the little snippet of melody that the track possesses is too weird for me.

Before Dawn is a pretty typical piano piece. I don't think this really brings anything new to the table, and if I'm going to listen to piano pieces (which is rare in itself), I'd rather listen to something by Chopin or Ravel or something. It's not bad, just not really spectacular either, and that's kinda what I need for a piano piece.

Mohenjo Daro is a great NES piece. The only complaint I can have about it is in the drums, which are... not there for some reason? I miss them. But other than that, this is a funky chiptune, the way I like 'em.

S is... not very good. An obnoxious remix of a great track, it's almost insulting to the original. Shame on you, ZTS! it started out good, too ;_;

Thankfully, the last track this week comes to save the day--Feast of the Damned is one of my favorite tracks from Vampire Savior (after War Agony), great track with really interesting elements and a great sound. I've often used this track as inspiration when I wanted to make something creepy and unusual.

Ooh, nice! Explains why I never heard of it I guess, I just assumed it was a super obscure NES game that made use of the VRC6 expansion.

I'm pretty sure the full version still hasn't been released yet

CHz, you are correct--still in development hell~

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