Song of the Week - WEEK 80 Voting/WEEK 81 Nominating

Apologies for omitting 3 tracks from this post. I found them boring, if you must know.


F-Zero Climax - Illusion - there's a lot of energy here, but it kind of goes into nothing. Nothing comes out of it. It's like picking up a speed sneaker on Sonic and blazing through half of the level but ending up running right into a bottomless pit, which means you have to do the whole level again anyway. And you thought it would be fun.

Perfect Collection Ys IV - The Dawn of Ys Volume 3 - Illusion - Rad. It's like eating pop rocks with your ears. I can't remember the tune or anything else about the track after I've finished listening.

Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz - Staff Credit Game - A track can change too much. It's like a track is being too eager to please you. 'Do you like what I'm doing now? No? Well it's okay, I can do something else...don't like that either? Well that's not all I can do...'. Sometimes it doesn't give me enough time to answer and I say 'Wait, yes, I did like that bit just then', but it's too late, the track's already doing something entirely different now. As it goes, I only liked two segments of this track, at the beginning and the end. That is better than some of the other tracks this week, which had no good segments at all.

GunValkyrie - Killing Bedroom - I was thinking what to call this, becuase I'm not good at classifying music genres, and electronic is the worst of them with all of its subbranches. But electro-lounge turned out great when someone said that, so I'll go with that. I love these electro-lounge tracks. Although sometimes I like it to do a bit more than it's doing here, maybe have a stronger tune. If it had more of a tune would it stop being lounge? I wouldn't want that, or I wouldn't be able to say 'I love these electro-lounge tracks'.

Ancient Pyramid - There are countless egyptian themed levels in platform games, all with their own egyptian themed sound. But of them all, my favourite egyptian themed piece of Video Game Music is Sandopolis Act 2. Ancient Pyramid is also quite good however. I like the simplicity, I like how it has an intro, after which it pauses to give the signature superfrog croak, and then starts again more excitingly and with a beat. And then the excitement picks up even further for the final part of the track. Throughout, the track never betrays its simplicity, it's just a fun tune, man. This is my nomination and it gets 3 points.

3pts - Ancient Pyramid
2pts - Killing Bedroom
1pt - Staff Credit Game

Jam it back in, in the dark.
