[SotW] Song of the Week - WEEK 278 Voting/WEEK 279 Nominating

3 points: Ripple Dot Extra - Ripple Dot Zero (The Oxygen Plant, Pt. One)
2 points: Monster Kingdom: Jewel Summoner (Game Rip) - Mountain Village: Hasi Maza
1 point: the Trackering #4 - Chris & Rita

Cool week! I liked most of them! As usual! I wish I could say more but I have to leave s00n!

--Nomination--
Composer: Tim Follin
Album: Time Trax (Genesis Game Rip)
Track Title: In-Game Music 1 (Sound Test 01)
Year: 1994
Additional Info: Recorded at 50hz. I'm not sure what the best thing to title the track would be. It plays to the Laboratory, Building Site and Forest stages. I just gave it the 'creative title' of "In Game Music 1 (Sound Test 01)" for now, but if you think there is another title that makes more sense then SAY|so. ALSO I AM SO GLAD AND AMAZED THAT THIS rom actually got dumped so now we can hear 5 new examples of what Tim Follin would sound like if he existed on the Genesis.

How ya doing, buddy?

WHOA !!! ! Even though I've been runner-up a lot, I don't think I've actually gotten one of my noms at #1 before unless I'm forgetting something. So that's pretty cool!!

Even cooler that the top 3 is exactly the same as how I voted in this too!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I think a better idea is to promote SotW in general VGM related Zones Of The Internet. It seems to me like other members from here would already be kind of uninterested in it if they're here but aren't participating, since SOTW is very visible in the {Latest 5 Posts} thing. However there are PLENTY of places on the internet where people have interest in video game music and would like to find new, interesting stuff they may not have heard of before!

I LOVE the idea of including this, even if just for a theme week or something, though I also honestly don't think it would help.





I'm content with the current participation level myself, it feels like a small "group" of "friends" sharing "music" with "each" other at a casual comfortable pace, and just CALCULATING what the collective opinion on nominated tracks is so we can have a cool site that has cool music on it (OR SOMETHING).

I STILL WANT TO HELP THOUGH SO THAT IS WHY I GAVE (useless) SUGGESTIONS, because yeah it would be nice if we actually had 8 nominations every week and a more significant number of votes. Not Song of the Month. Especially because I really don't want SotW to die because I really enjoy it!

Thank you, Elorin!

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