[SotW] Song of the Week - WEEK 235 Voting/WEEK 236 Nominating

Sakimoto AND Uematsu? In my SotW?! A.S.H. -Archaic Sealed Heat- Original Soundtrack - Cootrolan's Theme is a good bit of whimsy, mixed in with three cups of quirk and a couple of teaspoons of 'what'. The melody isn't appealing enough to bring me back for future listens however.

The opening to Aekanaru Sekai no Owari ni Original Soundtrack "Routine" - fun time is probably the most whimsyin' thing this week. =D This is the perfect track to help get your good mood on and is very loose and fun as it chugs along sporting its catchy guitar melodies. When they want to, doors can compose some great music. (I realise this sentence makes no sense to most people)

The sound here really throws me back to the point and click adventure games I used to play when I was younger. That in itself is a nice bit of whimzay. But really, even though Death Gate (Game Rip) - Limbeck Bolttightener is agreeable & cute in an understated & minimal kind of way, nothing really grabs me and the loop was probably unnecessary. Still, points for whimsy-fuelled nostalgia blast of joy.

Ganbare Morikawa-kun #2 Original Soundtrack - PiT Drive is the sound of the universe I would enter if I ate a 'special' cupcake. Trippin' and zany in the best possible way and sounding like Earthbound in parts, this track is entrancing from start to finish. A+, would trip out to again. (I have weird taste in music cupcakes sometimes huh)

O UEMATSU U. It's like '??' and the goblin minigame tune from FFIX had a hyperactive child. Hanjuku Hero VS 3D Original Soundtrack - Honkey Tonkey Fantasy is a decent amount of fun (it's hard to not enjoy it in some capacity) and is sufficiently whimsical, but it's a song I've been familiar with for a long time and never seem to listen to that much. Fun while it lasts, though.

I want to marry Porky Pig's Haunted Holiday (Sunsoft Game Rip) - Something Strange in Wackyland (Stage 5), but then again I think I'd likely run at the altar. This is an awesome tune, one which I don't think I want to subject my subconscious to that often. The melodies are awesome when they're there, and everything else going on is ughhhhh^kja@ienv&poa. CREEPY WHIMSY [CRIMSY] = SUPER

I'd love to hear Jared Emerson-Johnson tackle an arrangement of Sam & Max Hit the Road (Game Rip) - The World's Largest Ball of Twine. Not much to say here, just some great mellow whimjazz. Might not get a point though in this fiercely whimsical week.

Trash It (PSX Game Rip) - Playroom is some more entertaining jazzin' with a particularly zany selection of instruments. Yessir.

Whoa, tight result. I'd gladly swap around the 1st and 4th placers, though.




I like theme weeks btw.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
