[SotW] Song of the Week - WEEK 148 Voting/WEEK 149 Nominating

Wow BZ, you're right! Aozora Magiccer!! Original Soundtrack - Run Through the Forest does sound like something that could've been in FFX-2~! Putting that compliment/criticism aside, I really enjoy this track. It's danceable, funky, and contains some awesome melodies. Each passage has its own distinct melody, which makes this track a really fun one to listen to! The opening really hooks me in every single time, it's great.

Cybattler (Game Rip) - MISSION 1: INTERCEPTION had a really fun drive and enthusiastic nature. But it's always important for a track to back up those traits with a solid melody. The melody here is decent, but not as catchy or memorable as I would have liked. Still, a fairly fun listen!

'K lemme see what all the fuss is about----- how disappointing. In its nature, Onimusha 2 Orchestra Album ~Taro Iwasiro Selection~ - Chapter VII Truth of Guile is just so dull, sorry guys I just can't get into this one. I thought that for the first couple of minutes it was just an extensive buildup (ala gracemeria)*, but no, it persisted through the whole 5 minutes. The strings melody was nice at times, but not nice enough. (dull orchestral tracks are my pet hate)

I love the Phantom Kingdom soundtrack, it's wonderful. I haven't heard the arrange album, so I have high hopes for Phantom Kingdom Arrange Album - Alexander the God of Destruction! And yes, it's a pretty great arrangement overall. The blend of instrumental exoticism and entertaining electronica is truly a treat to the ears! =3

Powerslave (Saturn Red Book Audio) - End Credits is a solid piece of easy (world) listening. I really like the ethnic accentuations and the overall smooth, graceful development. The melody's not too engaging, but damn, this is a nice track all right. (niggle: the percussion is a tad too emphasised at points)

Sagaia (Saturn Game Rip) - Jamming didn't really do anything for me. I like the introduction of the melody, but after that things just wear so thin and my interest wanes.

2 sonic tracks in two weeks, aye? I was thinking of nominating one, too. Super Mega Drive Fan - Mega Drive Super Music Collection Vol.2 - AFTER-6290 MIX [Sonic the Hedgehog CD], also, didn't really do anything for me. I can appreciate the bubbly nature to an extent, but there's not really a solid composition to back it up. If there was a better melody, I would've been all over this.

Wangan Midnight Soundtrack - Keiichi Aizawa's Theme is a great track. It's fun-loving, and has an infectious sound about it. The cute little synth melody is great, too, and the choral work is just as as it is awesome. A great Wangan Midnight piece, for sure.

i'm just not feeling this POINT

A slightly above-average week. All of the tracks had at least something I enjoyed, if only for 5 seconds, so that's nice.

* just realised BZ said the exact same thing, but he wasn't talking about the track I was talking about :P

Jam it back in, in the dark.

*woof to the ftp of zoom~?*

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Bleh. Sorry people, I just don't get what's so great about the Onimusha track. Otherwise, some pretty decent results. Although why did "End Credits" perform so badly.

Also, this is my 4th silver (out of 8 noms!)

Most amazing jew boots
