Song of the Week - WEEK 53 Voting/WEEK 54 Nominations

I put up my nom in the last thread but it's not updated in the Wiki. Do I need to do anything?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah, I've been surprised with how slow the voting has been too.

(3 points) Space Invaders Daisakusen - Game Over: Here's my reaction, Crash: It's really fookin' good. I'm a sucker for the '80s anyway, but this track just hits the new wave vein in its full, cheeky richness. The melody is dead-on good and the vocoder-work actually works as a plus. Given that the song was released in 2003, it was probably meant to be an ironic interpretation, which is why it works so well.

(2 points) Dramatic - Oriental Spirits: I enjoy pretty much any nomination from Japanese bands like these. The guitar work in the second half of the song has been done before in other tracks (Furukawa-ish I would call it, from Kukeiha Club), but it slays me every time.

(1 point) Klonoa of the Wind 2 ~Something Forgotten Wished by the World~ Original Soundtrack - The Sorrow Revives: Thought about going with Punky Pumpkin, but I have to appreciate spanish-sounding guitars when they're done pretty well, as they are here. Reminds me of Ocarina of Time in a way.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Funny you nominate this. I was looking at nominating a Blast Corps track for my recent slot. Cromlech Court and Havoc District were the two I was considering. I like the latter better, but I'm afraid my music judgmnent was tainted by in-game experience, cause that track works really well with the large-scale nature of the game. Good choice.

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