[SotW] Song of the Week - WEEK 188 Voting/WEEK 189 Nominating

(3 points) Mirror's Edge Original Videogame Score - Still Alive: This is the type of song I thoroughly enjoyed but would be a guilty pleasure were I to hear it on the radio. Inoffensive sure, but it follows a predictable formula successfully.

(1 point) GoldenEye 007 (Game Rip) - Antenna Cradle, Janus Base, Cuba: It never gets as uber-intense as it should, but I do enjoy the beginning ramp up, and I like how it incorporates the game's (and movie's) themes in a frantic finale.

(1 point) a bug's life (PSX Game Rip) - Atta Flight (Riverbed Flight): Agreed that I like the piano midway through, but wish it got to it sooner.

(1 point) Shikkoku no Sharnoth Preorder Bonus Original Soundtrack - Tar slan: Not much to say about it, but it has some nice parts.

As for the rest:

Grave Joker Stage is clearly MM-lite, but mildly enjoyable synth nonetheless. Final Movement has celtic going for it, which is nice, but ultimately its too staid and not achingly beautiful enough. I can clearly see the homages in Elevator of Love, but it's simply not my bag, baby. As for The House, In Dust -- too morose, too dreary, nothing to love.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
