Jam it back in, in the dark.

Cloud OST - Fluffy Sweet is gorgeous, and very easy to listen to. There's no catch or complexity to this one, it's just a lovely instrumental piece that flows exceptionally well. The numerous textural builds make for fantastic highlights as well, like fireworks on a starry night.

First Samurai (Amiga Game Rip) – Intro has some catchy rhythms and enjoyable beats, but none of them really combine to create a very alluring or appetizing whole. Yeah, I don't know, this sounds decently involving, but something about it rubs me the wrong way!

Hurrican (Game Rip) - Flugsack Ritt had me half-asleep until 1:40 or thereabouts. That section's pretty sweet, and things developed fairly efficiently from there. Unfortunately for flugsack however, the cons outweigh the pros here for me, since my ultimate impression is overwhelmingly one of apathy.

To the credit of MediEvil - Resurrection Original Soundtrack - Hilltop Mausoleum (Hilltop Mausoleum suite), despite it being the kind of song I dislike on paper, I found myself being somewhat entranced by this one. It has all the cliche "creepy mansion" elements; and they execute a sound melody and compliment one another's sounds quite nicely. Pleasant surprise~

The thing I love about POPOROGUE Original Soundtrack - Pietro's Journey (instrumental) is that it's simple but has a great deal of instrumental variation and intricacy. It makes for a nice balance and contrast, and it really helps that the melody is spot-on. Wonderful carefree vibe, too! Perfect music to start a journey to.

Well, Ray'z PREMIUM BOX -BEYOND- - PENETRATION has failed to penetrate into my subconscious, because honestly, I hardly noticed anything about this track as it played. No definable, distinguishable hooks; no real melody to speak of; and an odd sense of tempo. Nah, this one's not my cup of tea I'm afraid.

I hate to deprive a track of decent feedback, but everything I said for the above applies to Silpheed - The Lost Planet (Game Rip) – Ranking. lol lazy

Hey, guess what? My comment for WOLF FANG - TUMBLE POP - MIDNIGHT CHASER - 'Breakthrough' ---yeah..

not even the POINT could muster up a word of encouragement

3 points: POPOROGUE Original Soundtrack - Pietro's Journey (instrumental)
2 points: Cloud OST - Fluffy Sweet
1 point: MediEvil - Resurrection Original Soundtrack - Hilltop Mausoleum (Hilltop Mausoleum suite)

Not a great week. Point distribution was excruciatingly simple.

How ya doing, buddy?
