Track Title: Tiny Town
Track Number: 5
Year: 2005

Kirby: Canvas Curse is obscure enough for the contest, isn't it?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Love the opening of CROSS HERMIT SOUNDTRACK - Cross Hermit, love the remainder even more. It's a thoroughly enjoyable track with a great sense of tempo, melody and instrumentation; everything's so enthusiastic. =] The development at 2:13 is awesome, and the one at 2:28 is about thrice as awesome! Perhaps a bit too hectic at times, but otherwise I can't fault this track~

eXceed 3rd -JADE PENETRATE- (Game Rip) - FLY UP has a great drive and sense of character, and some of the synth lines are pretty solid. But nothing about the melody appeals to me, and that makes this one lose a lot of points in my eyes. =/ Other than that, it's pretty entertaining! Just not entirely memorable and hooky (of or pertaining to melodic hooks??).

Excite Truck (Game Rip) - Nebula's such a potent, brutal force. This is the definition of musical drive; the quality of rock here is pretty great. Also, 0:46 or thereabouts is really cool! I'm not as engaged by it as I was the last time I heard it (BSC 2007?), but it's still solid.

(CHz, what other Pixel gamerips do you have? =O) Guxt (Game Rip) - Stage 5 is quality, through and through. The catchy and bubbly --albeit tense melody-- is really accentuated by the awesome developments. A point is definitely going here.

I really like islandy, tropical themed music, but only when it's done in a catchy, melodious way. In the wake of Doshin, the GIANT - All Along the Bardo Island sadly doesn't feature much of a melody, nor is the relaxing island vibe that strong. Yeah, this one sounds rather awkward; can't even say I care much for the guitar samples. =/

Ugh, I still haven't listened to a good majority of the Popolocrois soundtracks, even though I know I'd enjoy them. >_> But...umm...I don't really enjoy this POPOROGUE Original Soundtrack - The Magic of the Moon, Majestic Dream - For Those Who Chase Dreams track. It sort of sounds a bit bumbling, and some of the lyrical passages are a tad disjointed. The vocals try to create a mood but instead really turn me off. Oh well, I'm sure the rest of the soundtrack's great!

I enjoy the stop-startedness of Red Stone Original Soundtrack - -Tower- Dancing Gear, and some of the electronica elements really hit a chord with me. Down-tempo, kind of groovy, and even a little bit danceable! Nice.

Ooh I liked the start of Ultima Online (Game Rip) - Cove --but the piece didn't really elaborate on any key thing or aspect, which was disappointing. I like the sound and instrumental samples at work, but its a bit of a meandering track, isn't it?

stop-POINT-start (also, POINTY hooks~)

There's nowhere I can't reach.

owut. How did I not know a Dubble-super-rip existed?! The rip I have pales in comparison; thanks for the link! (and huge thanks to dubble!)

Also if anyone says Canvas Curse isn't eligible, I will be very depressed, angry, and bewildered.

How ya doing, buddy?

Despite only giving it one point, I can't deny "Nebula"'s awesomeness. ^.^"

Solid result, although I would've liked to have seen "Stage 5" get a placing.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
