That version of The Super Surfers suffers from clicks; here's a clean version. Sorry I didn't provide it initially; I'm at school and I don't have an FTP program set up on my laptop.
There's nowhere I can't reach.
Check out my original music at my Soundcloud page!
Latest music rips (updated January 10, 2012): SimCity DS - Jazz/ambient/electronic music including interesting reworkings of songs from the fantastic SimCity 3000 soundtrack Cold Winter Original Game Music Score - Really cool; dark, full, emotional strings mixed with drums, piano, choir. Kind of like Furious Angels? Play-Asia - Japanese CDs, game soundtracks, game imports, & more |
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
I've uploaded Drakken's preferred version to the FTP, though only CHz has the authority to move it into the voting folder. As for which version we should use, my instinct says to go with what the nominator wants.
On another note, here are the theme week proposals we have so far. Let's get to choosin'! Famous Game, Obscure Name: Take well-known games (that wouldn't cut the mustard otherwise) and open them up with one caveat, that people nominate one of the most obscure tracks from the album. March of the Intros: Intro/main menu themes can be important for setting the mood of a game, regardless of genre. And they tend to be very short affairs, with some exceptions, so such a week could be an extended 60s week of sorts. Whimsical Wonderland Week: With Alice in Wonderland hitting screens next week, perhaps we could do a whimsical week with numbers like slapstick songs and tunes that don't take themselves too seriously. SyFyLis Channel Original Musics: Nominate your most out of this world game tracks with a sci-fi connection. Maybe tie-in with some major sci-fi game/TV series/movie launch. Epic Proportions: Minimum song length of somewhere between 7-10 minutes, unlooped. And no maximum. SotW Unplugged: An acoustic (or faux-acoustic) instrumentation week. Instrument Discussion International of the Season (IDIotS): A week built around a specific instrument, like violin or piano. Jap Bitch Can't Sing Weak: VGM with vocals, whether good, bad or plain ugly. The Anti-Battle: Take the eight lowest scoring tracks in SotW history; Vote on Worst of the Worst with negative points given out. .38 Doujin Special: Temporarily remove the rule against doujin (fanmade remixes) for a week of OCR-inspired madness. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
Also, thanks so much for compiling those theme week suggestions. Saves me some work, and I'm always a big fan of me not having to do things. I don't really know how you guys want to handle choosing, but we don't have to be super formal about it. How about we all just pick our top three choices? I'll go first:
It also appears that I am due for a Nomination, so since this post isn't long enough already:
I was speaking idiomatically. |
I suppose I'm due for a nomination again.
Album: Vent ~ Grandia Arrange Version Composer: Noriyuki Iwadare Track Title: For the Love of You Track Number: 2 Year: 1998 Catalog Number: KICA-5004 A slightly different sort of SotW nomination. As for theme week formats: 1: Famous Game, Obscure Name 2: Instrument of the Week 3: Whimsical Wonderland Of course, I'd be up for breaking the rules for just one week with a Doujin Special. The whole Best Doujin Contest went over well, but it was never an official extension of SotW. We COULD try it here once just as a nice sorbet, to cleanse the palate of all the other stuff we've heard. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
(3 points) Winter Gold (Game Rip) - Medals
(1 point) Shinsekai Kivandelyan - Batsu Monster's Carnival (1 point) Silver Surfer (NSF Rip) - The Super Surfers (High Scores) (1 point) Technosoft GAME MUSIC COLLECTION VOL.5 ~ Thunder Force IV - Stand Up Against Myself - Staff Roll Arrange Great selection this week. Silver Surfer and TFIV might have received more points if I would have perceived them as being more obscure. Here are my preferences for the theme weeks, even though I would appreciate any of the submitted ideas: 1 - Jap Bitch Can't Sing Weak 2 - Instrument Discussion International of the Week (IDIotS) -> Saxophone 3 - Epic Proportions And, nomination: Artist: Bart Roijmans Album: SAV Track Title: Glooming Year: 2008 Notes: This is an original composition by a game composer. It was however later adapted for use in the DS version of Aliens in the Attic. Source: News Most amazing jew boots |
Even steveny week...
2 points - Shinsekai Kivandelyan - Batsu Monster's Carnival 2 points - Sonic Riders Shooting Star Story Original Soundtrack 'Zero Gravity Tracks' - Blast Town 2 points - Technosoft GAME MUSIC COLLECTION VOL.5 ~ Thunder Force IV - Stand Up Against Myself - Staff Roll Arrange Week formats: 1: March of the Intros 2: Jap Bitch Can't Sing Weak 3: Instrument Discussion International of the Week (IDIotS) New nomination! Game: Queen's Blade Spiral Chaos (PSP Rip) Composer: Banpresto Track Title: 戦場に咲く華 Track Number: 11 Year: 2009 What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
LOL! |
Nom time:
Artist: Masashi Kageyama Game: Mr. Gimmick! (Game Rip) Song: Strange Memories of Death (Unused) Track Number: 19 Track was unused but is apparently in the sound test. Weekly rankings: 3 points: The Super Surfers 2 points: Stand up against Myself 1 point: Medals Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Blaze and Blade ~Eternal Quest~ ORIGINAL SOUND TRACK - Mine Cart Sounds like Uematsu's "Devil's Lab" on acid, which is not entirely a bad thing though I can't see myself listening to it too often.
Flyff (Game Rip) - Theme 5 - Playground Pure kooky fun. SoundTEMP can be tiresome at times, but few peeps do exuberent or kooky as well. The faux sax on this one gets me every time. Million KNights Vermilion Original Soundtrack - Cheerful Party I thought that was a typo but apparently they're not knights by KNights, which brings a certain herpetological comedy troupe to mind. The song itself is a pretty standard rock tune, without much flair aside from a rather misleading pening and loop. Shinsekai Kivandelyan - Batsu Monster's Carnival The word "carnival" creates certain expectations, which aren't really fulfilled here. Instead, there's bizarre off-kilter jazz and whispers that sound right out of a porno (and, for all I know about this game, they are!). Silver Surfer (NSF Rip) - The Super Surfers (High Scores) I'm an apostate of the Church of the Brothers Follin, generally neutral or negative on most of their stuff, which I know puts me pretty far outside of the VGM mainstream. This is one of the better tracks I've heard from them, with a genuinely catchy level of funk and some of the more annoying (to me) tendencies reined in. Sonic Riders Shooting Star Story Original Soundtrack 'Zero Gravity Tracks' - Blast Town Decent jazzy stuff, but not a whole lot of meat. Technosoft GAME MUSIC COLLECTION VOL.5 ~ Thunder Force IV - Stand Up Against Myself - Staff Roll Arrange Your basic synth rock song. It's got more flair than Cheerful Party, but not a whole lot that moved me. Winter Gold (Game Rip) - Medals Doesn't sound like any Olympic fanfare I've ever heard, but has its moments. The Point Spread Playground - 3 pts. Super Surfers - 2 pts. Mine Cart - 1 pt. And, as if this post wasn't gargantuan enough... Special Week Preferences 1. Instrument Discussion International of the Season (IDIotS) (specifically, a piano week) 2. Epic Proportions (no ideas for noms yet, but would like to see what people come up with) 3. Jap Bitch Can't Sing Weak (I have a great song for this from YDKJ4). There's nowhere I can't reach. |

I'll be voting later, but as for theme weeks:
No special preference order: Instrumentation Discussion International of the Season (Piano) Jap Bitch Can't Sing Weak Epic Proportions This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Preferences for theme weeks in no particular order:
- Instrument Discussion International of the Season (IDIotS): Agree with piano week but other instruments are fine, too, like strings. - Whimsical Wonderland Week - Famous Game, Obscure Name No problems with other themed week ideas, too. Actual week voting soon! I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
I think therefore I am... I think.

May vote this week, or not. But here's a nom:
=== Kaleb.G === * Album: Dewy's Adventure!! Original Music Dictionary * Artist: Hiroshi Tanabe * Disc #: 1 (of 1) * Track #: 12 (of 42) * Track Title: Frozen Frequency * Catalogue Number: GFCA-54 * Year: 2007 * Additional Info: "A Pure White Dark Sound" has my close second choice, but I feel "Frozen Frequency" is more approachable for a wider audience. * Source: #gamemp3s (individual composer credits available here only at the moment), VGMdb * File Location: nom folder in a minute I was speaking idiomatically.

Let's do it!
Nomination Album: Star Cruiser II -The Odysseus Project- Image Sound Artists: Toshiya Yamanaka, Tetsuya Nakano, Kenichi Yaguchi Track Title: I cannot trust any of them Track Number: 15 Disc Number: 1 (of 1) Catalog Number: POCH-2203 Year: 1992 Additional Information: I'd bet all my money that this track was composed by Toshiya Yamanaka (no luck with composer breakdown for this album). It's got his trademark guitar style. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
1 point: Blaze and Blade ~Eternal Quest~ ORIGINAL SOUND TRACK - Mine Cart

No clear cut preferences though. I still have no clue who this Ken Kojima guy is, but going by these consecutive songs I've heard, consider me a fan. Theme week preferences: 1. Jap Bitch Can't Sing Weak 2. Instrument Discussion International of the Season (IDIotS) (piano) 3. Whimsical Wonderland Week |

2 points: Blast Town
2 points: Batsu Monster's Carnival 1 point: Medals 1 point: The Super Surfers (High Scores) Just Missed: Mine Cart, Cheerful ParLALALALALALALALALA I can't believe there was a point in my life where I didn't like Jeroen Tel. Also wow, this Shinsekai Kivamvpfsljng tune is so awesome and the main reason Blast Town isn't getting 3 points. Good week. --- My next nom: Album: Metal Slug Complete Sound Box Composer: Hiya!
