F-Zero Climax (Game Rip) - Illusion
RAWK ON. Awesome track. Seriously, this is the kind of stuff I love, and I'm glad it's a from F-Zero game since it's been a while I liked anything from that series. Going to get the full gamerip ASAP!

Genocide 2 Master of the Dark Communion (Sharp X68000 Game Rip) - Stage 3-2 - Enter Secretly
My nomination ~

-> I was wondering btw, what's the stance considering voter's own nominations?

GunValkyrie Official Soundtrack - Killing bedroom
Electro-lounge stuff are not my cup of tea ...

Perfect Collection Ys IV ~ The Dawn of Ys Volume 3 - Illusion
What a strange choice ... I mean, I like that one, but there are a bunch I would have chosen from the Ys 4 PC over it.

Royal Blood - Flame
Interesting composition. I was thinking it sounded like something Yoko Kanno could have done when I saw it was from a KOEI game. Not Kanno, though. Definitely going to check the full album as well.

Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz (Game Rip) - Staff Credit Game
hehe, this so has Sega written all over it. Quite an enjoyable listen all along. I've always like upbeat medleys. =p

Superfrog (Amiga Game Rip) - Ancient Pyramid (World 4)
hehe, I always liked the Amiga's flute sounds. Really enjoyable listen here too. Another thing to find for download on my list. ;_;

Timesplitters 2 (Game Rip) - Training Ground
Martial stuff generally don't do much to me. The alternative rhythm in the end is nice, though.

3 pts: F-Zero Climax (Game Rip) - Illusion
2 pts: Genocide 2 Master of the Dark Communion (Sharp X68000 Game Rip) - Stage 3-2 - Enter Secretly
1 pt: Superfrog (Amiga Game Rip) - Ancient Pyramid (World 4)

Many people use the oppurtunity to talk about why they nominated the piece, or to give a detailed breakdown of why they like it.

As far as points go, you're free to give your nom the full 3 points. Some, myself included, also try to stack the deck by awarding 1 point to three other songs, reducing their chances of placing.

Wow. I won't go that far, but definitely won't retain to vote what I think it's worth, then. =)

Holy hell! That OST isn't on my Ryuji Sasai discography! Where'd you get it?

It's actually a *tad* inaccurate, now that you make me look further into it. Ryuiji Sasai worked on Xak 1 and 2 along with Tadahiro Nitta. However, I only have confirmation for the PC88 versions, and not the ports. The compositions are the same (I tagged the FM-Towns redbook after the Xak 1 and 2 OST), but the arrangers may differ as it's often the case. Plus, there is no way to know who of Nitta or Sasai actually composed that one. I'll edit accordingly.

Obscure stuff he worked on are also Xak Gaiden and Heart of Phantasm III (Mugen no Shinzo 3).

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Those actually are his early works, all around 1988/89. I can send you the Xak stuff, but I don't have Mugen no Shinzo 3. Knurek have it working in Hoot, and I've been thinking of doing a recording of it for a while, but never found the time. Some of it sounds neat, from what I could hear.

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