[SotW] Song of the Week - WEEK 141 Voting/WEEK 142 Nominating

Capcom Game Music - Demon Boundary Village ~ Maikamura Arrange Version was solid. The piano lines were nice, and the backing tempo helps the track sound energetic and hectic. I feel it wanders a bit aimlessly at points, but other than that it's good.

Derby Stallion Original Soundtrack - Stable has some wonderful instrumentation and a distinctive farmland charm, and sounds fairly structured, but the lack of melody really hurts the end product. Good as background music for a farm or hoedown centre, but not too great as a standalone piece.

Finally, a track with some direction! Fantastic Four (PSX Redbook Audio) - Large Wars was slick, catchy and really fun~! The sax work is great, and the developments and solos are awesome. Yup, definitely a keeper.

Whoa, how boring is the first minute of Metal Slug ~Complete Sound BOX~ - The scene of a hard battle (Boss 1)?! ;__; Thankfully it picks up a bit from there and engaged me somewhat. But still, nothing really grabbed me. A solid-sounding tune for the most-part, but -subjectively- I don't care for it too much.

I smiled as soon as I heard the creepy little ditty at the start of New Ghostbusters II (Game Rip) - River of Slime (Level 4). Too cool (sounds like that traditional circus music!). Things stay interesting from there; that's good enough for me! *saves*

Eguchi can be really good sometimes. Racing Lagoon Original Sound Track - Ending is one of those pieces I'd classify as really good. Stirring, with some great orchestrations and a solid, soaring melody; it's a pretty standard ending theme in terms of sound, but it does enough things right to rise above the crowd. Also the sitar automatically gives this track at least 1 point.

Super Mega Drive Fan - Mega Drive Super Music Collection Vol.2 - DARK SHADOW [Alshark] was pretty meh. I thought things would pick up at 1:30 when the sax/whatever got involved because that sounded pretty cool. But it didn't really help after all, a bit too passive in terms of execution and melody. =/ Yup, very meh.

The Candystore's Manager James Test Version (Game Rip) - One night in... (Stage 1) was bad, I didn't enjoy this one whatsoever. One of the few SotW songs I've outright disliked. =.=" Sorry to the nominator, but I just couldn't find/hear anything good in this track. Even the bass wasn't good (it was cool at the start but got insanely repetitive)!

This week was pretty topsy-turvy. Most of the tracks sounded good, but didn't really hook me in. =/

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Whoa, candystore won? I don't see what people like in that one. >.<" A bit annoyed Fantastic Four and Ghostbusters scored so low, as well. =/ Regardless, congratulations Darkcomet72!

There's nowhere I can't reach.
