[SotW] Song of the Week - WEEK 206 Voting/WEEK 207 Nominating

Bomberman Generation (Game Rip) - Nekki Moon Unique Mix is mostly nothing, but has some neat dramatic flourishes dispersed here and there (like around the four minute mark). Not enough to make me want to revisit it at all, though.

Maybe I'm temporarily suffering ADD while I'm SotW'ing this week, but Impetuth Original Sound Tracks - Crystal cave (stage2) seems really uneventful and boring as well. Spooky synth line is more lame than appealing..

Now Legendary Axe II (Game Rip) - Stage 4 is actually good; interesting even. I love the dense, fuzzy sound and the somber traces of melody. Like wandering around alone in the pouring rain.

(anything else would not do it justice)

Neo Steam - The Shattered Continent (Game Rip) - Castle Lady is wild, tame, and melodically appealing all at the same time. I really don't know how the music connects to the idea of a "Castle Lady", but it's pretty elegant throughout with a heroic finish so maybe that's it. =? SUDDENLY, SOARING GUITAR APPEARS. SUDDENLY, SOARING GUITAR FLEES

For Shock Troopers 2nd Squad - Promise of 505 (Stage 5), see the bomberman track evaluation. But substitute 'dramatic flourishes' for 'hilarious whoo samples'.

tama-soft artist collection vol.03 - For you... from here the edge - the repeated scene is some decent kt2. Not one of his better songs, but its slick tone and emotional progression puts it a cut above most of the tracks this week.

Two Worlds - The Album - Opala sounds impressive, sure, but still seems to be lacking some punch. I mean, I can't remember much about the track after I listen to it. Still, I'll be revisiting this one, it's a good listen. The sitar break is great.
