Song of the Week - WEEK 63 Voting/WEEK 64 Nominating

(3 points) Uncharted Waters Online (Game Rip) - South African Ocean: The sax is a little over the top, but that's a nitpicking misstep. Love the choral work, sedate and alluring enough to feel like a movie -- I'm exploring the coast as the camera zooms out, myself lost in the expansive view of never-ending blue and sand. Strong stuff.

(2 points) Enthusia Professional Racing Original Soundtrack - Running To Horizon [OCEAN BRIDGE]: Very fun. Noodling guitar is always a plus, and the big brass is actually one time I enjoy it being a little over-the-top.

(1 point) Dune Spice Opera - Exxos - Revelation: I like Wake Up a little better, but this has its own strengths. It's a little more down-tempo, a tad more mysterious.

Everything else was enjoyable. Couldn't find one track I thought was an absolute waste.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I don't want to prolong the argument and open up another door of technicalities, but this just occured to me.

In the original conception of SotW, it was asked whether "fan-arrangements" would be allowed. With persuasive arguing from me the answer was no: OCR, VGMix and whatever else already had a forum in which these tracks got special recognition.

On one hand, Soule's arrangement doesn't exactly fit the typical idea of fan-arrangement cause he's professional. Fine. On the other hand, it's the very essence of the idea. More importantly, the whole point was we wouldn't poach from OCR, which is what Dhsu is exactly doing in this instance.

Those are my two cents.

How ya doing, buddy?
