HAY GUYS

I'd like to nominate something from Metroid Prime. The game is probably not very obscure, but I also think that it is not very well known for its soundtrack, since most of the music is very ambient. There are some exceptions to this, like boss fights (although you mostly don't pay attention to the music on the first play-through since the battle is so intense

) and a couple of tracks that are pretty melodic and rhythmic (of which I'd like to nominate one).

So I'm not sure if this complies with the obscurity rule, please tell me if it's okay to nominate this, then I'll post the track details and upload it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Okay, I don't know Metroid and Super Metroid, so I'll just get more specific:

SCDC-00276~7: Metroid Prime & Fusion Original Soundtracks - VGMdb

Disc 1, Track 21 (Tallon Overworld)

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah, well, with that link to VGMdb you should have all the info you need for a valid nomination, so I guess it's up to you to decide. I'm not high enough on the queue to get it in next week, so there's still time to decide. Your call.

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

According to CHz and Dhsu, it doesn't. If there is going to be a poll about this, it would be nice if the poster could point out the fact that this is a completely original track as there seems to be quite some confusion regarding this fact.

As long as I'm concerned, I prefer to be exposed to songs that might be slightly less excellent than the popular tunes, but that are completely unfamiliar to my ears.

Well, I can certainly see your point here, and I agree with you on most of it. With the MP track although, I had the feeling that while the game is well-known, its soundtrack isn't. For example, when I downloaded it and listened to it outside of the game for the first time, I was really surprised at how good it was, because I didn't really pay attention to it in-game.

Well, maybe that's just me, or maybe most of you guys already have the soundtrack in which case it really doesn't need SotW exposure. This is just the reason why I felt it would be a good idea to nominate this. Also, sorry for causing such a mess doing it

.

Also, can anyone tell me where I can find some information about this Best Song Contest that everyone is talking about? I've tried searching for it but didn't find anything useful.
