[SotW] Song of the Week - WEEK 156 Voting/WEEK 157 Nominating

I usually find funk extremely accessible, and Back in Time II - Batman the Caped Crusader (Radio funk mix) is no exception to that rule. Love the funk, though none of the melodies took my fancy, sadly. Still, an enjoyable track overall.

Home Alone (NES Game Rip) - House definitely has some piercing elements and sounds, but the composition itself is good, so I'm happy! The start to each loop is incredibly catchy and cool and things remain fairly entertaining from there. I'd be surprised if any melody this week beat the melody showcased at the start of this one!

Mass Effect Original Soundtrack - Criminal Elements has some awesome electronic beats, and they create a wonderful, metropolis kind of atmosphere. The melody is a bit disapppointing however; it could've done with some more variation and punch, I think. But you've gotta appreciate a piece which conjures an atmosphere so effortlessly and skillfully.

When I listen to Midnight Resistance (Genesis Game Rip) - Flood of Power (BGM 1), I feel like I'm swimming down a FLOOD OF POWER!! Seriously, this is a great track. No complaints from me whatsoever; exciting drive and an ever changing, constantly engaging melody. (I think I just got raped by the FLOOD OF POWER)

Mr. Nutz (SNES Game Rip) - Ice Scream is a really lifeless tune, huh? It seems it just recycles a bunch of dull melodic lines back and forth to limited effect. It definitely needs a quirky edge or a more tangible icy vibe. As it stands, I don't like it. (sorry nom, not my cup of tea!)

Speaking of tangibility, I had a tough time trying to find and grasp the melody in OTSU Club Music Compilation Vol. 1 - Last Regrets -Tsukasa Remix-, but don't worry I got it! This is just a nice, sunny ray of cheery trance. And that's good in my books!

OMG VOLUME!!! [obligatory] Disregarding that, Space Megaforce (Game Rip) - Black Hole Anomalies is OK. I don't like the A section with the irksome melody, but the B section improves on that considerably with some smooth, catchy transitions and stuff. So yeah, enjoyable, but the first part hurts it.

Similar to FLOOD OF POWER, Verytex (Game Rip) - Act 1 (The Void of Space) is another awesome space tune. I've got no real problems with this one either, although it doesn't engage me as much as teh power. Also, 1:07 rivals "House"'s melody. It's just that good.

I struggled handing out the points this week, so that means it must have been a good one! I think.
