[SotW] Song of the Week - WEEK 147 Voting/WEEK 148 Nominating

Question: How long is the time period from when an album is released to when you can nominate a track from it? Because there's a track I wouldn't mind nominating from an album released (officially) on September 26...=/

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I looked through the SotW wiki and didn't find anything about it, but now that you mention it 3 months does ring a bell. In any case, here's an alternative nomination:

Nomination #8

Composer: Angel Note
Album Title: Aozora Magiccer!! Original Soundtrack
Track Title: Run Through the Forest
Track Number: 3
Year: 2006
Catalog Number: STEG-06023

Run through to the FTP~

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I was just listening to the AoM soundtrack the other day, and damn did I enjoy it (especially the organic/primitive sounding ones). Age of Mythology Original Soundtrack - Hoping for Real Betterness wasn't a standout like "Chocolate Outline" or "Eat Your Potatoes", but I still consider it a very solid track. The acoustic work in particular is great.

(3st, whoo!) Axelay - Mother (3st BGM) has some pretty interesting percussion, but the melody was way too weak. I was also pretty annoyed by the section near the end. =/ But yeah, I definitely think the percussion regains some lost ground.

Bike Banditz Original Sound Track - eXceptional eXploration (Stage 1) is pretty enjoyable; nice and upbeat, with some nice bass licks. I think that the melody was pretty good; the piece just sort of zoomed by. But it was a very fun zoom.

Eternity's Child - The Official Soundtrack - Crystal Waterfalls was very pleasant. At first I was reminded of a bustling town theme like rabanastre or something, then things were toned down and the orchestration became a tad more profound. Those uplifting parts like 0:36 are wonderful, too, by the way.

I'm usually really into out-there creations like Sonic the Hedgehog Remix - Dr.'Gigglymen', but for the most part I just didn't get it. Putting the weirdness aside, the music was pretty decent. Some of the sax/whatever it is spots...really hit the spot, yeah. Nothing outstanding, nothing too heinous.

I really enjoyed the start to Super R-Type (Game Rip) - As Wet as a Fish, and things remained steadily cool from there. Nothing really stepped out of the boundaries or wowed me, but it was still OK.

Tobi Tsukihime Soundtrack - MAGICAL AMBER was sort of like the eXceptional track; fun and upbeat, but things really zoomed by for me. A very fleeting listen, although I did like the fun, melodic drive present. B-!

...well that was rather depressing, wasn't it? Zeliard (PC Game Rip) - Tumba Town didn't do anything for me whatsoever, sorry nom. Additionally, the atmosphere created is really kind of draining. I think it needed more of a ZOOM effect.

*ZOOM* hay was that a POINT that just went by?

Fairly below-average week. I made one really good discovery though, so I'm happy.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I never come close to picking the winners. >__> Also, wow those results are damn close. Not too happy with the 3 placings overall; if only I'd given AoM 1 more point.

Edit: Haha "WHOA THESE RESULTS ARE WAY CLOSE---*looks at zeliard* Oh." Poor zeliard!

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