Song of the Week - WEEK 81 Voting/WEEK 82 Nominating

Spiritual Battle
I guess you just have to realize that I'm not a huge 8-bit music fan. I just sometimes find the music a bit repetitive and cumbersome. But this song is ok for 8-bit music, though.

Ar tonelico Hymmnos concert Side Crimson ~Tsukikanade~ - EXEC_RIG=VEDA-.
The high pitched voices are something that you really have to get used to, especially with this soundtrack in general. I think that the opening is pretty nice, but I feel that the melody is a bit too simple. The melody really only ranges within about 3 notes, which I find a tiny bit boring. The instrumentals make up for the melody, however.

Digimon Rumble Arena (Game Rip) - Wilderness
I wonder how people find all of this random music. It's actually a decently catchy song that I would not expect for something named Digimon. I've heard a lot of stuff come from Atelier Iris that are extremely similar.

Dragon's Fury (Game Rip) - Main Table
This song is a bit boring in my personal opinion, because the background rhythm is a bit annoying. I just don't find any attraction to the melody in the end, unfortunately

Front Mission 5 ~Scars of the War~ Original Soundtrack - Quicksilver
How much do you want to bet that no one is going to vote for this song just because it's too militaristic . I'm a huge fan of militaristic themes that have very strong melodies, I just don't want them to be boring marches. The melody of this song is extremely developed, and the bridges as well as buildup never really sounds the same. Plus, it's my nomination, so I'm probably automatically biased.

Guitar Freaks 4th Mix & drummania 3rd Mix Soundtracks - Captain's Voyage (long version)
the initial buildup is a bit long, but besides that, this song is a lot better than the other tracks in this matchup. I have this awkward feeling that I'm going to be voting for this song.

PinkSweets Ibara Original Sound Track - Sweets Nerd
This song really starts to drag out for a while, at the beginning, and the same type of theme continues to play throughout the entire piece. It's an OK song, but I just don't feel that it's amazing

Ridge Racer 7 (Game Rip) - Supercruiser
This isn't the best that I've seen ESTi done, especially because the music becomes repetitive after a while.

Final Results:
3pt: Front Mission 5 ~Scars of the War~ Original Soundtrack - Quicksilver (8)
1pt: Guitar Freaks 4th Mix & drummania 3rd Mix Soundtracks - Captain's Voyage (long version) (7)
1pt: Ar tonelico Hymmnos concert Side Crimson ~Tsukikanade~ - EXEC_RIG=VEDA-. (6.5)
1pt: Digimon Rumble Arena (Game Rip) - Wilderness (6.5)

PinkSweets Ibara Original Sound Track - Sweets Nerd (6)
Ridge Racer 7 (Game Rip) - Supercruiser (5.5)
Dragon's Fury (Game Rip) - Main Table (5)
All Sounds of SaGa - Spiritual Battle (5)

NOMINATION!

This song is weird but nice, and actually has bagpipes in it. Good luck with the bagpipes.

I'm pretty sure no one's done this before... at least I hope. This song is definitely an acquired taste, especially from the composer:

Title: Ruria
Composer: Yuki Kajiura
Album: Blood the Last Vampire Original Game Soundtrack
Track: 7
Disc: 1 (of 1)
Catalog #: SVWC-7073

I was about to nominate In the church, but I feel that's too much of an acquired taste. It's the same as Tommorow's place, which is a vocal, but a non-jpopish one at worst.



How ya doing, buddy?

ok, somebody needs to make a list on which songs went where... I'm not going to nominate a track that's been done in a contest before =) looks like I'm going to redo it again

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Interesting... I didn't know that Digimon was THAT popular

Anyway, I'm happy with a second place, especially considering the militaristic elements of that song.

And I have to say, I'm surprised that I have the exact same vote as Crash, considering I normally disagree with him =)

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