[SotW] Song of the Week - WEEK 209 Voting/WEEK 210 Nominating

(3 points) Brighter than Dawning Blue Music Collection - Terra Passport - Genesis -celtic arrange: Celtic is right in my wheelhouse and this song pretty much nails it. It really takes off about a minute in when the pace picks up and the percussion kicks in. All in all a lovely piece.

(2 points) Contra Force (Game Rip) - Stage 1: Decent chiptunage here. Nary a misstep, even if it doesn't recraft my expectations for the "genre."

(1 point) Insector X - PARTY IN THEIR NEST (Imperial Underground): A definite 80s vibe here. Barely merits a point against simliar-level competition.

As for the rest:

Underwater has the benefit of familiarity with me, but its synths do provide a decent if empty experience. Sea of Frozen Crystals sounds exactly like Katamaritaino from Katamari Damacy. I like the metalish parts in the first half of Taking Off better than the second half. Okapi sounds well-done but this stuff simply isn't my cup of tea. Opening Theme sounds incomplete; I need another couple layers of something on top of these synths.
