What is an initially jarring chiptune quickly becomes a decently catchy romp. Batman (TG-16 Game Rip) - Stage Areas 1-3 is a track best listened to on the lower volume setting, and is pretty fun all in all.

DESIRE "THE ORIGIN" - RYU UMEMOTO RARE TRACKS Vol.2 - Reflector (Unlimited) is, for me, largely generic and uninteresting, but has the occasion spark of creative flair. Sadly those sparks are few and far between, shading my ultimate impression a rather garish colour.

Elebest (Game Rip) - Stage has an eerily enticing sound to it. It's a unique fusion of sounds and voices, with the final product leaving me wanting more rather than being thoroughly turned off. I don't really know why, but I like this one! The jazzy piano lick is particularly cool, albeit disappointingly brief.

I'm afraid I just can't get behind Hollywood Monsters (Game Rip) - Enigmas. I'm not a fan of what it's doing, or at least trying to do, and the song just comes across as lethargic and dull to me. Vocals grate on me a bit, too.

MadBalls in... Babo: Invasion (Game Rip) - Ice 2 has a fantastic build during the opening minute, but there's a bit of an extended trough before things pick up again. I don't really have any major complaints though, as all of this works well together to create a very pleasing whole.

Ristar (Game Rip) - Ring Rink is solid Ristar music, and in the scale of music as a whole, that means it's pretty damn good. Melodically it's absolutely charming, and it coincidentally makes a nice prelude to the Yuletide week with its starry, icy sounds and glitches. Warm and fuzzy; chilly and sharp---wonderful track.

The Sketches of Moondays ~We Kept Our Promise To You~ - BLUE is, as usual, quality Moon music. Gotta dig the spacey atmosphere and the starry melodic arpeggios or whatever they are.

Well this isn't the sort of track I expected given the source. Touhou Hisoutensoku ~ Chase the Enigma of the Superdreadnought Guignol (Game Rip) - The Eternal Steam Engine, as well as being from a game with a seemingly fantastic name, is pretty spectacular in its short-lived splendor. I don't think it realises its full potential in this brief timeframe however so that may restrict it in terms of points. But it's a very nice piece regardless, especially with the train touch towards the end.

this POINT is grating and jarring, but you could also say it's warm and fuzzy...

Pretty decent week. Only one real clunker for me, and lots of keepers!

Jam it back in, in the dark.
