Jam it back in, in the dark.

This is like a completely new week for me, as I only know three of these songs.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

NOM NOM NOM

Game: Super Bonk (SNES) Original Soundtrack
Song: Twilight Space
Artists: Masaaki Nishizawa, Keiji Ueki, Kennosuke Suemura
Track Number: 22

Will upload to the FTP momentarily.

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

Started out poor but definitely got better with the second half of tracks. Overall, though, not the strongest of battle weeks.

(3 points) Marching Grass on the Hill - Waterfall
(1 point) Super Castlevania IV (Game Rip) - Secret Room (Bonus BGM)
(1 point) Destroy All Humans! Path of the Furon (Game Rip) - Vegas Baby!
(1 point) The Dog Island (Game Rip) - Credits

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

My top three are close enough that I'll just give them an even split:
2 points - Insector X - PARTY IN THEIR NEST (Imperial Underground)
2 points - Super Castlevania IV (Game Rip) - Secret Room (Bonus BGM)
2 points - Infiltrator - Infiltrator

I was speaking idiomatically.

Insector X - PARTY IN THEIR NEST (Imperial Underground) Still lots of synthy fun despite a stupid name.

Senko no Ronde DUO Sound Track - Birds Eye (Mika Drop 1) Bland across the board, one of our weakest recent winners.

The Sims 2: Open For Business (Game Rip) - The Sims 2 NewWave Theme The novelty has worn off a bit, but still cute.

Infiltrator - Infiltrator This benefitted from being in a weak week; listening to it now, I find it hard to imagine giving it points.

Super Castlevania IV (Game Rip) - Secret Room (Bonus BGM) Another really flavorless winner, with limp synth and weak quirk.

Marching Grass on the Hill - Waterfall Easily one of the best songs to come through SotW in a while.

Destroy All Humans! Path of the Furon (Game Rip) - Vegas Baby! Still funky and fun.

The Dog Island (Game Rip) - Credits Not a whole lot of substance, but the acoustic guitar helps carry things.

The Point Spread
Waterfall - 3 pts.
Vegas Baby - 2 pts.
NewWave - 1 pt.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Insector X - PARTY IN THEIR NEST (Imperial Underground)
It's got an okay beat, but it's not very memorable.

Senko no Ronde DUO Sound Track - Birds Eye (Mika Drop 1)
Starts out good, then goes nowhere.

The Sims 2: Open For Business (Game Rip) - The Sims 2 NewWave Theme
Kind of neat, but too repetitive.

Infiltrator - Infiltrator
This isn't bad, but also not very memorable.

Super Castlevania IV (Game Rip) - Secret Room (Bonus BGM)
Not my thing.

Marching Grass on the Hill - Waterfall
Nice instruments, but it doesn't go anywhere with them.

Destroy All Humans! Path of the Furon (Game Rip) - Vegas Baby!
Also not my thing.

The Dog Island (Game Rip) - Credits
Still like this one a good bit.

I actually liked the previous couple of battle weeks a lot more than this week.

3 Points: The Dog Island (Game Rip) - Credits

FELIPE NO

2 points: Marching Grass on the Hill - Waterfall

2 points: The Sims 2: Open For Business (Game Rip) - The Sims 2 NewWave Theme

Wow, two tracks in the BSC for me again! And if Insector had gotten one less vote, it'd be three! Still, I am pulling for "Waterfall" to win this one---"Ryu-Hyo" lost its battle by a single vote and Acoustic Asturias really deserves a win.

Quality is high in this battle. I don't like the first two tracks/winners, but everything else is definitely point-worthy.

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

3 points: Marching Grass on the Hill - Waterfall

1 point: Insector X - PARTY IN THEIR NEST (Imperial Underground)
HOW AM I NOT GIVING THESE POINTS: Birds Eye (Mika Drop 1), Infiltrator, Vegas Baby!
I know why I'm not giving these points, but they're still enjoyable: The Sims 2 NewWave Theme, Credits

Only two of the tracks in this battle were my top picks, and I didn't give any points to three of the winners, but even so this is still an incredibly potent batch of winners. Then again, with the weeks we've been having recently, there's no way it wouldn't be. I'm wishy-washy and don't want to commit to saying that the past eight weeks were the best overall group in SotW history, but the past eight weeks were totally the best overall group in SotW history. Fantastic tunes, I hope the trend continues in the next eight weeks!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

3 points: Secret Room (Bonus BGM)
2 points: Waterfall
1 point: Infiltrator
Just Missed: Birds Eye (Mika Drop 1), PARTY IN THEIR NEST (Imperial Underground), Vegas Baby!, NewWave Theme, Credits has grown on me a bit


So glad I can repent for my sins in week 213 when I didn't give Secret Room 3 points.

There are a whole bunch of tunes I would've preferred to see here, so voting wasn't difficult. The weeks themselves have been incredibly good, keep it up! (sounds like something I just recently said)

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
