[SotW] Song of the Week - WEEK 228 Voting/WEEK 229 Nominating

A note on vocal week: there are only five slots remaining. ZiggyGo has a carryover nom from the last time (Waterway ~Mio~ Ar tonelico II Hymmnos Concert Side Blue -EXEC_over.METHOD_SUBLIMATION/.~lamenza), and isdapi and Darkcomet72 jumped the gun last week and nominated stuff. So yeah, keep that in mind.

Here is a plain ol' ordinary nom:

• Album: Xardion (Game Rip)
• Artist: Kouhei Tanaka
• Track #: 3
• Track Title: Oceansphere Surface
• Year: 1992
• Additional Info: I like the original version more than the one on the arranged album, Beach Ball.
• Source: Game profile: Xardion ~ SNESmusic.org, Game Credits for Xardion

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Nothing definitive, unfortunately. The album packaging doesn't seem to mention him being involved at all, but he's worked on the beatmania series in other ways so I'm not sure why he'd lie about that. ¯\(º_o)/¯

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Kaleb already nominated that for EP. :|

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

2 points: Alice Sound Collection III - Type Zero
2 points: Friends ~The Radiance of Youth~ Acoustic Arrange Version - Shizuka's Theme
1 point: The Oil Blue (Game Rip) - Reclaiming the Island
1 point: Xenon 2: Megablast (Amiga Game Rip) - Title

Great week.

Like a lot of the things I nominate, the intro is the part of Type Zero I like the most. It is a bit generic, but it has a lot of flair and I dig that.

I wish Shizuka's Theme's melody were stronger, but it's still a hella fun track.

Reclaiming the Island and Underwater Cavern are both high quality mood setters. I went back and forth deciding which to give a point to.

Race Theme 1 is pretty cheesy, but who cares . And Central Park in-game is C64 music being C64 music and that is alright with me.

How ya doing, buddy?
