My take on the songs (no offense to anybody):
Atelier Viorate - The Mudship Sinks at Karotte Village: This is a nice song. Nice melody, nice arrangement. Cowboy Bebop - Pearls: Maybe it's like being torn to three direction? Creppy ... jazzy ... dramatic? What else? Crash Twinsanity - Totum Hokum Pt II: It begins as a funny song, too much repetition though. 4 min is too long for this song. Don' t like the way it ends too. Evil Twin - Theme of Cyprien: I got bored with the beginning. Middle. And the end. Magna Carta - Battle Theme: okay song. Hate the ending. Again. Melt - Nothing special: It's a nice song, easy listening. Thunder Force VI - Bio Flame: nice to listen to, however it missing the omph. Don' t like the fading ending. Never like fading end. Ys V - Lost Kingdom: Love the melody, love love love the arrangement. However, I have to say that I am biased. I love grandious stuff and it's my nom. 'Nough said. My vote: Hard week to decide ... 3 different direction of songs 1 Points: Atelier Viorate - The Mudship Sinks at Karotte Village 2 Point: Cowboy Bebop - Pearls 3 Points: Ys V - Lost Kingdom Honorable mention: Thunder Foce VI - Bio Flame. It's the end that caused this song a vote. Melt - Nothing Special. Almost make it. It's the end too that caused this song a vote too. Most amazing jew boots |
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Average week. =/

Okay, I guess this is a nomination.
Album: Rise of the Triad (Game Rip) Artist: Bobby Prince, Lee Jackson Track Title: Fastway Track Number: 11 Year: 1994 Source: Game music base - database of Games, Games music and soundtracks Additional Info: I've seen the title for this song also called "Goin' Down the Fast Way". I have no idea which is right or wrong. Also, the game's music is in midi format. I was speaking idiomatically. |

2 points: Cowboy Bebop Tank! THE! BEST! - Pearls 1 point: MELT - Nothing Special The Crash Twinsanity track was very close to getting that last point. Man that soundtrack is so silly. So very silly. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
There's a lot of gold to be found on the Viorate soundtrack (still kicking myself for having not nominated "The Afternoon of the Supersonic Hydro Catfish" yet), and while I wouldn't put Atelier Viorate Original Soundtrack - The Mudship Sinks at Karotte Village in the top tier, it's still a very nice, more-than-decent tune. Shows that the Gust sound team can have some coherence and direction when they try the slower stuff (which, usually, they're not that great at).
I am not familiar with any of Kanno's Cowboy Bebop works, which is something I should fix. Cowboy Bebop Tank! THE! BEST! - Pearls features the gorgeous vocals of Ilaria Graziano, which manage to galvanise Kanno's melodies every single time they appear, with graceful harmony and pitch-perfect delivery. It's a testament to Kanno's greatness as a composer that while I think this is far from her best, it's still a stunning piece of music. First and foremost, I must encourage everyone to listen to the entire soundtrack to Crash Twinsanity by Spiralmouth---Dubble did a really great rip. The a capella style of the music, particularly as featured in Crash Twinsanity (Game Rip) - Totem Hokum, Pt II (River Rollerbrawl Area), is just flat-out nonsensical fun, and surely people who don't like it are aliens devoid of spirit and soul. Awesome Fat Albert cameo, too! Evil Twin: Cyprien's Chronicles (Game Rip) - Theme de Cyprien intrigued me from the start and really never had me lose interest throughout. Nice to see that a track from a game with "Evil" and "Chronicles" in its title isn't predominantly orchestral or oppressive in sound or tone. What we get instead is a really sweet flighty number with an amicable sense of charm and some uplifting developments. Very nice! I've really struggled in the past to get into the soundtracks to the Magna Carta games, which is exceptionally odd given the composer(s) behind them. Magna Carta Sound Track - Battle theme I, following the unfortunate trend, doesn't do anything for me. It seems to lack character, and substance. This is about as generic and unremarkable as (battle) tracks get for me. I was willing to give MELT - Nothing Special the benefit of the doubt after the first minute, as even though I don't like these kind of vocals particularly in a down tempo electronica environment, I thought the track would shape up to something in its 6 minute runtime. But nah, I didn't like it in the end. Too much meandering, not enough direction. The shimmering effect of the vocals was an extra turnoff. I really didn't expect such a cool, chilled track from a THUNDER FORCE game. Thunder Force VI (Game Rip) - BIO FLAME (STAGE02-A) is easy to listen to and makes for nice background music, but I don't think it engages me nor intrigues me enough to consider it in the point distribution. Wait, a track from Ys V Orchestra Version was allowed? 'K. Ys V Orchestra Version - Lost Kingdom is of course very pretty, very moving stuff. It doesn't enthrall me as much as it used to, but that's kinda expected considering my usual track record with Ys tracks (my interest usually wanes over time). There are exceptions of course (see: The Oath in Felghana soundtrack), but this one just hasn't stood the test of time, despite still having an affecting sound. and so the WALL OF MINDLESS VGM JUDGING ended with a mere POINT or three 3 points: Crash Twinsanity (Game Rip) - Totem Hokum, Pt II (River Rollerbrawl Area) 2 points: Evil Twin: Cyprien's Chronicles (Game Rip) - Theme de Cyprien 1 point: Cowboy Bebop Tank! THE! BEST! - Pearls 4th: Atelier Viorate Original Soundtrack - The Mudship Sinks at Karotte Village 5th: Thunder Force VI (Game Rip) - BIO FLAME (STAGE02-A) 6th: Ys V Orchestra Version - Lost Kingdom 7th: Magna Carta Sound Track - Battle theme I 8th: MELT - Nothing Special Pretty good week. Only two which I absolutely couldn't get into. The rest had their own individual highlights which is always good to see/hear. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
BTW: thanks for the Oath in Felghana info! I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |

This was a good week:

Very ambivalent about this week. Couldn't even get behind "Row, Row Your Boat," as much as I wanted to.
(3 points) Magna Carta Sound Track - Battle theme I (2 points) Atelier Viorate Original Soundtrack - The Mudship Sinks at Karotte Village (1 point) Thunder Force VI (Game Rip) - BIO FLAME (STAGE02-A) How ya doing, buddy? |
It's always good when people can make up for my lack of knowledge/searching success with songs and help me out. Thanks Draconis, Rimo.
Oh and here's votes. One track this week I really enjoyed, and some tracks that were decent enough to get a point. 3 points - Crash Twinsanity (Game Rip) - Totem Hokum, Pt II (River Rollerbrawl Area) 1 point - MELT - Nothing Special 1 point - Thunder Force VI (Game Rip) - BIO FLAME (STAGE02-A) 1 point - Ys V Orchestra Version - Lost Kingdom What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |

Nomination #24
Composer: MANYO Album: Karanoshojo Original Sound Track "Azure" Track Title: Fairy's dance Track Number: 1-06 Year: 2008 Catalog Number: GUN-0009 Additional Information: This is arguably the manliest track I've ever nominated, yo. Frolicking to the FTP There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Hope this isn't too popular for SotW:
Game: Maniac Mansion (NES Gamerip) Title: "Flashbulb Funk" (Michael's Theme) Composer: David Warhol Year: 1990
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
2 points: BIO FLAME (Stage02-A)
2 points: Totem Hokum, Pt. II (River Rollerbrawl Area) 1 point: Pearls 1 point: Theme de Cyprien Pearls would've been a stronger contender if it ditched that unnecessary 50 seconds of fluff at the end of the tune. I want to say it's only a very minor complaint as the song in itself is still very good, as it is very good, but man I thought that this sole Twinsanity track was just a novelty track when I first heard it earlier this week, but evidently the entire soundtrack is like this. If this is true, we've struck solid gold. My greatest shame, as of August 31, 2009, is that I still have yet to play How ya doing, buddy? |
I knew I forgot something. Quick points:
Theme de Cyprien - 3 pts. The Mudship Sinks etc. - 2 pts. Lost Kingdom - 1 pt. I was speaking idiomatically. |
What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
Ugh, nearly forgot to vote...
(2 points) Thunder Force VI (Game Rip) - BIO FLAME (STAGE02-A) Great track. Reminds me of some of Zuntata's other awesome music. (2 points) Ys V Orchestra Version - Lost Kingdom I'm somehow very charmed by this understated piece. I like how it lingers on its bitter sweet melody, never straying to any extreme. The track is also rather steady and nicely paced. (1 point) Atelier Viorate Original Soundtrack - The Mudship Sinks at Karotte Village Very pleasant. (1 point) Evil Twin - Cyprien's Chronicles (Game Rip) - Theme de Cyprien Strangely mesmerizing. "Pearls" nearly got a point. Most amazing jew boots
I think therefore I am... I think.
