An enjoyable (and very synthy) week.
(3 points) KOEI Game Music Works: Yoko Kanno Collections - Distant Mountains and Rivers: My nomination, and one of the few times recently I've listened to a new soundtrack obscure enough to warrant nomination. The album mentioned is a collection of various Kanno works and this was the best new (read: non-Uncharted Waters) track I heard. Lovely lilt, pleasurably quiet, welcome dollops of piano and violin at the right moments. Not particularly overpowerful or majestic but moving nonetheless.
(2 points) Best of the Best, Volume I - Around the World: Another track with asian flavor, this one bolstered by catchy electronic support.
(1 points) Umineko no Naku Koro ni episode2 - Turn of the golden witch (Game Rip) - Worldend_dominator: The beginning is pure heaven. Alas, the track develops from there -- and rather disappointingly, I might add, thanks to the violin. Overall it's still a rather intriguing track.
As for the rest: Stage 3 has some neat rolling pianos -- can't think of a true negative to say about it. Staff Roll is an upbeat ending theme and dated in a good way. Credits is bouncy but definitely dated in a bad way. Evil Forest feels like they took a Little Nemo track and slowed it down. The thing's worse crime is that its instrument selection, while intended to be gloriously varied, just doesn't sound that great, any of them.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
