You know, you can nominate songs that you don't have a copy of. Our crack research team will do their best to hunt one down!

That Space Channel 5 track...just strangely excellent. The Tom Jones influence helped. With the sound quality was way better (not talking about the encoding).

In other news, your mom is a Bedtime Puzzler.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

This week didn't appeal to me at all. Three vocals and two film music. Landeel is probably my favourite arrangement from the PSC albums and it was the clear winner. Nothing new worth keeping on my hard drive this week.

FELIPE NO

I really liked Bedtime Puzzler, particularly the rhythmic singing in its hook and then at around 4:00. Larmes de la lune was a great piece; the music box and piano sections are my favorites. This is My Happiness is a very fun song, though I enjoyed it more for its musical style than the questionable singing. Actually, the more I listen to it, the more endearing the singing gets.

I wish I could award Larmes de la lune and This is My Happiness 1 1/2 points each. I like them about the same, but I don't want to drop both of them down to 1 point, because they're on another level than whatever other song I would make the last 1-pointer.

Landeel was solid, but bland, as orion said. Primordial Forest was actually pretty cool; I like the pizzicato strings. The percussion in the background was also a nice touch. Goal 2 was a nice little tune as well. All three songs got consideration for points.

Skilled Spear did nothing for me. Guruguru Tonight was OK but not good enough for point contention.

Bedtime Puzzler - 3
This is My Happiness - 2
Larmes de la lune - 1

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

2 Points - Bedtime Puzzler ° Some part in the middle was excellent
2 Points - Landeel ° Phantasy Star? This? 1993? I'm impressed.
1 Point - This is my Happiness ° haha, Tom Jones
1 Point - Skilled Spear ° "best out of the ordinary genre"

Jam it back in, in the dark.

PS - sorry Darkcomet

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

Congratulations to you as well, TheKnightOfNee. That was a really excellent nomination on your part, and one of the most enjoyable this week had to offer.

Eh, I eked out a Bronze. Not bad for a silly vocal track, given the usual resistance to their ilk. Bronze is about where I was aiming when I nominated it, so MISSION COMPLETE.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Haha, I didn't realize voting was closed so I went ahead and picked out my songs. And what do you know, the top 3 turned out to be exactly what I picked, in exactly the same order.

I should get a prize or something.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Wow, the three songs I voted for turned out to be the top 3 (though not in the same order). That's rare.

Congratulations on your first gold nomination, TheKnightOfNee.

Not for me. :-) Always good to get them right though.
