11. .38 Doujin Special - 1

We've already done the top three. There's a nice big gap between the top five and the rest, so I was thinking we could run through those and then do another poll afterward with some fresh ideas (and maybe the ideas that didn't cut the mustard too). Sound good?

Also, Jap Bitch Can't Sing Weak sequel? We had one extra nomination, and a couple of other people said they had potential noms. Are enough people interested that we can fill another batch of eight?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

3 points: Project S-11 (Game Rip) - Menu
1 point: beatmania IIDX 10th style Original Soundtrack - Freezing atmosphere (long version)
1 point: Heroes of Might and Magic II: The Succession Wars (PC Game Rip) - Battle Theme #3
1 point: Nox (Game Rip) - Lands of Nox 3

I was unbelievably close to nominating the stage 6 theme from Project S-11, which is more engaging and would probably do better, but I like the menu theme more, and my preference always takes precedence. It's really textural for a Game Boy piece, and a good solo never hurts.

I had a really hard time coming up with the points for this week, because most of the tracks weren't really my thing. Some very pretty music this week, though.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

We currently have seven nominations in the queue, so anyone who doesn't want to see a six-track batch next week may want to nominate something.

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

Voting is closed and nominations are restricted!

There was a tie between the second and third place tracks, and I don't really want to hold this week open any longer. Another set of votes will neither change the winner nor knock either of those tracks out of placing, so I'm going to cast a tiebreaker vote for the Heimdall II track. Just pretend I changed my votes to give it a point instead of something else (doesn't matter what).

1). [17] Project S-11 (Game Rip) - Menu
2). [12/8.5] Heimdall II (Amiga CD32 Red Book Audio) - To Die
3). [12/8.5] Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures Soundtrack - Nighttime Journey Through the Eiglophian Monuntains
4). [8] Heroes of Might and Magic II: The Succession Wars (PC Game Rip) - Battle Theme #3
5). [7] beatmania IIDX 10th style Original Soundtrack - Freezing atmosphere (long version)
6). [6] The House of the Dead: Overkill (Game Rip) - Special Kinda Love (Instrumental)
7). [5/4] Nox (Game Rip) - Lands of Nox 3
8). [5/3.5] Clock Tower 3 Original Soundtrack - The Time of Confrontation

Yeah, that's because I didn't actually put one out yet.

Anyway next week we will run nominations for both a new theme week, Epic Proportions, and a vocal week sequel, to be run at some undefined time in the future. Maybe both before the next battle, we'll see.

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