Really? I can't find it in the wiki or on the archive board. If someone can confirm that it really has participated before, I'll make a different nomination.
There's nowhere I can't reach. Nothing wrong with not being strong

I wonder why it's missing from the wiki though? Most amazing jew boots |
It's dated back to Week 46. The archive on the wiki starts from Week 48. I actually thought the whole history of SoTW was stored somewhere in the archives of Gamingforce, at least I think I once saw it there.

But it didn't win, and no rule expressly forbids losing tracks from being nominated again. There's always been a nebulous code of honor thing against it, but as Aardark's never participated before, he understandably wouldn't know.
This said, I've no arguments with allowing Bricks (Jazzy Final) into SotW again. If anything, it'd be an interesting experiment to see what the occasional renomination can cause. Of course, Aardark's allowed to change the nomination too. I was speaking idiomatically. |
I'd prefer if he didn't renominate Bricks, for simplicity's sake (though it is up to him--this sort of test can get the nebulous rules codified). Maybe another Anachronox track?
What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
Sorry Aardork, but I nominated Bricks Jazzy Final last time. While I think it's possible to nominate it again since it didn't place, I don't think it's encouraged since the song has had it's time to shine. Nominating other tracks from the game rip shouldn't be a problem, though.
The doctor has a point about Musashi. When I nominated "Temple of the Ancients" eons ago (most of my other nominees didn't make the cut) I was kind of worried, too, because of potential popularity issues. The soundtrack was kind of grey for me in terms of popularity. No objections at the time and BSC hadn't started so I didn't think too much about it. Would a swap with Dhsu's nomination or KyleDunamis' potential nomination solve the problem (assuming they fit in with the rest of the line-up in terms of percussive merits)? Besides, I don't think anyone else will like "Temple of the Ancients." It's kind of ambient and minimalistic so... In any case, here are my votes! Too tired to comment much but this week was really nice. It's also good to return back to SotW! (2 points) Civilization IV Official Soundtrack - Baba Yetu (2 points) Raystorm - SLAUGHTER HOUR (AREA7) (2 points) Max Payne 2 - The Fall of Max Payne (Game Rip) - Max's Choice - Duty Vs. Passion Much too hard to pick a clear winner this week; they're all too good. FELIPE NO
I think therefore I am... I think.

Okay guys, I see. I think I'll nominate a different Anachronox track then; I just have to decide which one.

Here, I've got a nomination. Just copy/pasting this info from the track I downloaded, so I hope it's all actually correct.
Thunder Force Sound Track -Lost Technology- <Hyakytaro Tukumo> - [12] Cyber Cave Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Carob Nut |
Gotta update my nomination queue:
Blaster Master - Blasting Again "Rush Boy -Theme from Roddy-" Catalog Number KWCD-2002 (this same track is featured in XA format on the PS1 CD-ROM) There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Have to make it quick this time around...Yeah, Baba's going to win and it's a hell of a song, but it's not quite good enough to top anything from Wonder Boy 3, especially not "Last Dungeon" (actually this was the first dungeon...The game starts off with the last dungeon from the previous game, which this is actually a remix of).
1st-Last (First?) Dungeon 2nd-Baba Yetu 3rd-Punk Cyborg Battle 1 Looking forward to rhythm week! This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
I'm taking over this town...
I'm screaming for vengenace... I'm shouting at the devil... I'm not dead and I'm not for sale... Ain't lookin' for nothin' but a good time...

Good to be back folks. Very nice week.
(3 points) Civilization IV Official Soundtrack - Baba Yetu: Me and everyone else on the Baba Yetu bandwagon. Reminds me of Uncharted Waters Online - South African Ocean -- and that's a very good thing. (2 points) Max Payne 2 - The Fall of Max Payne (Game Rip) - Max's Choice - Duty Vs. Passion: Shades of Metal Gear Solid, but the lead instrument adds its own spin. Murky, techno-ambient stuff. (1 point) Namco GSE Vol.10 Cyber Sled - Be warped time: Impressive for 1994. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
3 points - Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap (Sega Master System Game Rip) - The Last Dungeon
2 points - Civilization IV Official Soundtrack - Baba Yetu 1 point - Raystorm - SLAUGHTER HOUR (AREA7) Nomination: Album: Drag-On Dragoon Original Soundtrack Vol. 2 Artists: Takayuki Aihara, Nobuyoshi Sano Title: Twelfth Chapter Sky Track Number: 15 Year: 2003 MJCG-80137 Note 1 - This is not a nomination for Drag-On Dragoon 2 but for the less known second volume of the score for the first game. Note 2 - Your ears are already raped just thinking about Twelfth Chapter Sky. At this point I don't have much of a track record to save, I am without inhibition. I was speaking idiomatically. |
i nominate
Loaded - track 6 Playstation 1995 i dont know much more than that. How ya doing, buddy? |
Out of curiosity, how do 'special weeks' come about? This is the second one to come up since I got into Song of the Week, and it seems like planning for both whizzed by before I knew anything about them. Is it invitation-only?
FELIPE NO DAMN good coffee!
September 2007: Waiting for Godot... |
Can I nominate now even though i'm at the bottom of the queue? If so then this is my next one:
Album: Kirby's Dreamland 2 (gamerip) Title: King Dedede Battle Source: Well I can upload it again if needed Pretty much all I know about the song. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
As usually, I'm too lazy for making any comments. I' looking fordward to see that special week!
2 points - Punk Cyborg Battle 1 2 points - Last (First?) Dungeon 2 points - Baba Yetu There is also a remake of "last dungeon" in Monster World III (or maybe IV) And my nomination (I'll upload it soon, but not now ^^U): Album: Scarlett OST Artists: nekoneko software Title: Already settled down... Track Number: 15 Year: 2006 Additional info: http://www.din.or.jp/~nekoneko/game.htm, this is the most recent game from the aka creators. Those chicks in the page look really hot, by the way! Jam it back in, in the dark.

I submitted a total of three tracks; two were rejected for being "not percussive enough." Finally, the SoTW crew tinkered with the queue to place all theme week competitors in the same week. As far as I know, this was more or less the way things worked for the earlier theme week (Follin Week) too. How ya doing, buddy? |
I decided that I'll leave Anachronox for another week, so here's my new nomination:
Stronghold (PC) (2001) (game rip) — Under An Old Tree (Robert Euvino) This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. Nothing wrong with not being strong
Nothing says we need to beat what's wrong Nothing manmade remains made long That's a debt we can't back out of |
SonicPanda, to clarify, the theme weeks are created by 8 people deliberately withholding nominations and then all entering in at the exact same time, therefore all of their nominations are "new" and are put at the top of the list. This has been done before and probably will be done again just as long as it doesn't happen too often. And it actually can't, unless 16 people plan two back-to-back theme weeks.

Well, inasmuch as there seems to be a definite trend in the votes and, barring the most miraculous turnaround ever, it seems that the following remark is a loooooong time in the coming.
I was speaking idiomatically. |
I guess it's MoO's first #1? Congratulations. Now all I have to do is get a #1.... oh wait, MY getting one would be a sign of the apocalypse.
And I feel like changine my nom to something I nominated before but pulled in favor of something else. * Album/Game Title: Tengai Makyou ~ The Apocalypse IV Original Sound Track * Artist: Toshiyuki Sasagawa * Track Title: The Twelve Apostles Battle * Source: http://chudahs-corner.com/soundtrack...log=SSCX-10006 * Disc Number: 2 * Track Number: 34 * Catalog Number: SSCX-10006 * Year: 1997 What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Punk Cyborg Battle 1 is pretty cool. I enjoy the variety and energy that it has to offer. Probably one of the stronger tracks this week.
I have mixed feelings about Baba Yetu. On one hand, the melody is quite awesome. But then again, I'm finding it pretty hard to warm up to the vocals for some reason. It's not that I hate vocals either... I remember liking a few African vocal tracks from other games, but for some reason I'm having trouble enjoying these. The non-vocal portions are nice though. I don't think Desert is nearly as bad as some wrote. It starts off a little bland and repetitive, but it develops into something enjoyable later on. The track also suits the nature of a desert well, in my opinion. I imagine that it works great in context. Max's Choice - Duty vs. Passion is another decent track with a nice melody. However, it seems unremarkable when compared to other tracks this week. Dunno, I guess the melody is slightly weaker. Definitely not a bad track, though. I have mixed feelings on Be warped time, too. It's a fairly interesting tune, but part of it comes off as trying too hard (not sure how else to describe it, roffel), and I get the feeling that I'd be annoyed if I listened to the track on repeat for a while. Not bad though. King Leo's Theme (Arranged Version) is short and sweet. I wish that the track would do more or last longer somehow, but it's easy to appreciate it for what it is. Nothing totally impressive, but I enjoy it. SLAUGHTER HOUR (AREA 7) doesn't sound very much like a slaughtering tune, lawl. Pretty enjoyable though; I enjoy the electronic style combined with a few, uh, softer elements. :x Since the main melody is portrayed in a smoother way, I find it easier to enjoy this track than I do to enjoy Be warped time. The Last Dungeon is an awesome and catchy oldskool tune. The melody's even better than the other chiptune track this week (Punk Cyborg Battle 1), in my opinion. Definitely the best that the week has to offer, in my opinion. 3 Points ~ Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap (Sega Master System Game Rip) - The Last Dungeon 2 Points ~ Air Zonk (Game Rip) - Punk Cyborg Battle 1 1 Point ~ Raystorm - SLAUGHTER HOUR (AREA7) FELIPE NO |
Granted, I should've been disqualified from nominating after that horrendous track from Street Fighter 3. ;_; But... Double Post:
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
'Grats on the (presumed) win! Add to that the fact that, unless I'm mistaken, Mo0 also appears to have the highest margin of victory in SoTW history.
I do find it a little hard to beleive that such beauty could be nominated by the same soul who unleashed the gibbering madness of that Street Fighter track upon unsuspecting voters, yea, like the plagues of old Most amazing jew boots |
Which Street Fighter 3 track was it anyway? Was it a third strike track?
There's nowhere I can't reach. |
