Composer: Attila Héger
Game: Airport Tycoon 3

FTP ZZZZOOOM

Jam it back in, in the dark.

orion, totally dropping the ball! I think he actually meant to give 3 points to "Catastrophe UVB-76" and none whatsoever to his nom. Let us count it as such.

A great album this one. I predict at least one track from it will reach the finals in the BSC next year. It's no VVVVVV or Tower of Heaven in terms of hype, but it rivals the soundtracks to those games on a number of occasions. Blocks That Matter - Tetrobot is a personal favourite (nice work nom!) with its warm colour and quirky dance qualities. I just wish it went for longer ;___;

End of Eternity Original Soundtrack - Lower World is boring orchestral fluff to me, sorry tacomk3. The sound is rich, immersive and cinematic, though immerses me more into a vacuum of nothingness more than anything attractive and imaginative. Minor points for 2:17 though; that part at least caught my ear.

I remember checking out Extreme RoadTrip OST - Extreme Road Trip Ingame with great enthusiasm, with the soundtrack VVVVVV still fresh in my mind. I was underwhelmed, though possibly only because my expectations were sky high. It's a fun, driving (!) romp with an accessible melodic edge, I guess, but doesn't stick with me a whole lot.

noooooo Jungle BGMs, my biggest weakness. It's true, I love Jungle BGMs. Frogger's Adventures: The Rescue (Game Rip) - Forgotten Island Level 2 is solid Jungle BGM'ing which I enjoy, so it will probably get a point. JUNGLE BGM

Oh holy crap, did Megalomachia - Catastrophe UVB-76 really just happen? It's like some alien of awesome came and abducted me and took me to an amazing otherworldly planet for 6 minutes, a planet full of insane traffic, suicidal orchestras, mad scientist conductors and disgruntled dinosaurs with stomach aches. I've got some slight love for this one, and I think I am a great and superior human being for enjoying it.

Megami Tensei Online IMAGINE Original Soundtrack - Ueno Field is an entirely fleeting affair, but I do like it. Although I think it doesn't pack big enough of a punch in order to warrant points. This track is particularly terrible when playing these 8 songs in order.

OK so everybody should know now that as well as Jungle BGMs, I've got a massive soft spot/hard on for SPANISH GUITAR. Flamenco stuff. Ryu ga Gotoku Kenzan! Original Soundtrack - baile con la mariposa features the stuff in spades, with great passion in the playing and a gorgeous development, incorporating lovely textures in the second half of the loop. "Zero" in the BBSCSC was what made me rediscover this track and nominate it; that's not bad inspiration! Hidenori Shoji should be pleased, yes.

ehhhh, Virtua Fighter Remix (Red Book Audio) - Character Select / Dural Theme has been done before, about 125423 times. This track does little to distinguish itself from your garden variety fighter game synth rock track. I do still extract some enjoyment from the subgenre, though it takes something really impressive for me to really stop and appreciate it.

So I found "Catastrophe UVB-76", the love of my life. I am wholly satisfied with this week.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

A-HA I knew I'd heard that nosie in "Catastrophe UVB-76" before. The UVB-76 radio station, der (pioneer of the noise genre ha).

Amaze <3 so damn creepy, this song is magnificent. Not surprised to see it's the Drakengard composer behind this.

Darkcomet72 you commie hurry up and post in this thread so I may prop you.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Seriously, I would normally be annoyed at missing out on a hat-trick by 2 votes, but "Catastrophe UVB-76" was just the best track this week. I'm willing to say it's in my top 5 SotF discoveries of all time.

DC72, your win record I am glad you got this one at least!

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
