Song of the Week - WEEK 65 Voting/WEEK 66 Nominating

Percussion week? Percussion week?!!

You all suck for leaving me in the dark. I totally would've nominated Spray from Chaos Field.

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

Yeah, sorry. I somehow missed you when sending out pms to the regulars awhile back. :-/

Well, Born to be Bone is too popular. As for others who nominated songs that didn't make it, it would be because I had received 8 better-fitting nominations.

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

China Vox, Chun Li's 3rd Strike Theme. It didn't get many points.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Jesus, most nominations ever. =O

Absolutely!

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

What, someone said something about Musashiden II and not this?

As much as I would absolutely love to have our first-ever Kirby track, there's no way this can be obscure enough for SotW.

Yes. Chun-Li Stage -CHINA VOX mix1- from SF3: Third Strike.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Fixed.

FELIPE NO

Didn't this week got "gained"?

1st: Raystorm - Slaughterhouse
My winner. The atmosphere for a shooter doesn't get much better than this. Very confident, bright and skyish with good percussion, melody and awesome drive and energy all around.

2nd: Diablo II - Desert
At first listening I thought I was playing the game and I was quite shocked. There's surely a lot of nostalgic power behind this track, but I also learned to appreciate the many musical nuances scattered around in the track. It sounds intricate, mysterious and much more. I have never heard a more interesting desert theme.

3rd: Max Pain.
To close up, I choose a somewhat somber and reflective theme. Nothing special really, but it still manages to get my attention.

... ok, my nomination:

Title: Dreamer
Album: Anno 1602 (Game Rip)
Composer: Markus Pitzer (a german guy), also known as Dreamweaver
Year: 1998
Comments: Anno 1602 is a real-time-strategy around 1500, where you have found America and now mine for resources to produce a vast army to slay your foes.

Yes. Chun-Li Stage -CHINA VOX mix1- from SF3: Third Strike.

Fair enough. Here's my new nomination then:

Album: Space Cowboy OST
Title: BGM 3018 (it doesn't exactly have a name -_-)
Source: It installs all the songs with the game, so I guess I can upload this one too.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Great week. All are winners.

3 points :: Raystorm - SLAUGHTER HOUR (AREA7)

1 point :: Air Zonk (Game Rip) - Punk Cyborg Battle 1

1 point :: Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap (Sega Master System Game Rip) - The Last Dungeon

1 point :: Namco Game Sound Express Vol.10 Cyber Sled - Be warped time

I would have liked to give Air Zonk and Wonder Boy III more points (they tied for #2 in my personal ranking), but that would have robbed my nom of a 3-pointer, and I feel it very much deserves the amount I gave it. I'm going to have to track down those game rips now.

Cyber Sled was neck-and-neck with Neo Geo Battle Coliseum for spot #4, but eventually I had to go with Hosoe.

I don't mind that "Baba Yetu" will win. It's a good track; just not one of my favorites this week.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Track 15 is Twelfth Chapter Above Ground, not Twelfth Chapter Sky. I assume you meant to type "14" because you mentioned Twelfth Chapter Sky again by name in one of the postscripts, but I just want to make sure I've got the right track down for you.

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

Hmmm, discrepancy.

Damn! I've been going crazy for volume 2 of that soundtrack, but was never able ti find it...

Hmmmmmmmmm.

Chudah's Corner, GMR, Square Enix Music, RPGFan, etc. all give the same tracklisting for the album:

collapsed to save space:

01 Leonard's Hunger, Sky 3:28
02 Leonard's Hunger, Above Ground 3:17
03 Arioch's Madness, Sky 3:12
04 Arioch's Madness, Above Ground 3:19
05 Seere's Prayer, Sky 4:11
06 Seere's Prayer, Above Ground 2:36
07 Ninth Chapter Sky, One 3:11
08 Ninth Chapter Sky, Two 3:06
<-- your copy has an extra track here, 09_-_ninth_chapter_sky_above_ground
09 Ninth Chapter Final 2:48
10 Tenth Chapter Sky 3:04
11 Tenth Chapter Above Ground 3:05
12 Eleventh Chapter Above Ground, One 2:58 <-- Eleventh Chapter Sky in yours
13 Eleventh Chapter Above Ground, Two 3:12 <-- Eleventh Chapter Above Ground
14 Twelfth Chapter Sky 3:29
15 Twelfth Chapter Above Ground 2:56
16 Twelfth Chapter Final 3:20
17 Thirteenth Chapter Final 2:31
18 Road A Staff Roll 2:43
19 Road B Staff Roll "Exhausted" 4:05
20 Road C Staff Roll 3:48
21 Road D Staff Roll 3:24
22 Road E Staff Roll 3:37
23 Eleventh Chapter Sky (Unreleased) 3:27 <-- This track is missing entirely.
24 Twelfth Chapter Final (Unreleased) 0:51

I found another copy on the album on Secret Squirrel's server, and that has this tracklisting:

Spoiler:

01 - Leonard's Hunger, Sky
02 - Leonard's Hunger -Earth-
03 - The Mystery of Ariorsche -Sky-
04 - The Mystery of Ariorsche -Earth-
05 - The Prayer of Seere -Sky-
06 - The Prayer of Seere -Earth-
07 - Chapter Nine -Sky- No.1
08 - Chapter Nine -Sky- No.2
<-- This is also missing 09_-_ninth_chapter_sky_above_ground
09 - Chapter Nine -Final
10 - Chapter Ten -Sky-
11 - Chapter Ten -Earth
12 - Chapter Eleven -Sky- <-- You've got this track, but the sites don't.
13 - Chapter Eleven -Sky- No.1 <-- I assume this and the next track are supposed to be -Earth- No.1 & 2.
14 - Chapter Eleven -Sky- No.2 <-- You only have one of these, but the sites have two.
15 - Chapter Twelve -Sky-
16 - Chapter Twelve -Earth-
17 - Chapter Twelve -Final-
18 - Chapter Thirteen -Final-
19 - Route A Staff-Role
20 - Route B Staff-Role 'Exhausted'
21 - Route C Staff-Role
22 - Route D Staff-Role
23 - Route E Staff-Role
<-- missing Eleventh Chapter Sky (Unreleased)
24 - Chapter Twelve -Final 2-

So basically I have absolutely no idea what's going on. I think we need someone with the CD to sort this out.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I have the answer.

Uzuki's version is more awesome than all the others.

Case closed!



FELIPE NO

My copy of Drag-On Dragoon resembles the one from Dr.Uzuki. It might not say much but my copy also has some front and back-cover scans. Looking more closely at the back-cover though, the tracklisting from Chudah's Corner and all those other sites seems to be correct.
Even though the scan is somewhat blurred, you still can see the kanji - and =, which respectively means "one" and "two" (so much chinese I know). It appears on track 7&8 and 12&13. Also the title of 19 is a bit longer, the "Exhausted" part would fit there.
Uzuki's track 12 - Tenth Chapter, Sky Above is actually Track 23 - Eleventh Chapter Sky (Unreleased) on the official CD. The track length 3:27 would match in any case (also some kanji resemblance prove this as well).
With that, I'd say we go after the official CD and say Chapter Twelve Sky is actually track 14, length 3:29.

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

Congratulations, MoO! Told you your song was awesome. :P

Er, Percussion Week might be a delayed as "Temple of the Ancients" threatens to crumble to the ground and awaits a potential replacement. I think. Sorry for the wait.

Let's not be so hasty. I expressed a bit of concern but no one seems to have picked up that torch, it doesn't seem like that big of a deal.

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

Ok dudes, I'm not 100 percent sure how this all works, and I want you to tear me a new asshole if I get it wrong so I learn fast, but Mo0 tells me I can nominate a song. So here goes and such things. Copy/pastaing the format Uzuki was using.

Nomination:

Album: Riviera ~The Promised Land~ Full Arrange Soundtrack
Artists: Minako Adachi, Toshiaki Sakota
Title: The Angels Foretell Their Demise
Track Number: 30
Year: 2005
Cat. Number: BJCA-0018

Here's one of those direct link thingies

We've got a replacement; I've just been really busy lately. I'm going to prepare the tracks tonight, and if orion's on, perhaps the thread will be up later. If not, it will be up tomorrow.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I went back and listened to that Chun Li song. Maaaan, that is just, um... ack. And it got worse as it went on. =(

Well, Baba Yetu deserved the win this week. Good work, MoO.

FELIPE NO

No, that's pretty much dead-on correct. Can't get much more correct than that.

And I've now been bumped into the week after the week after Percussion Week. Yay!!

Spoiler:

Boo.

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

Wait, what? My nomination bumps yours? See, I know NOTHING. And Mo0 didn't explain this either.

It has to do with the nomination queue. As a past nominator, I have to wait until my turn arrives again. If people on this list higher than me nominate, my turn descends in priority.

However, new nominators, such as yourself, get executive priority; your name is automatically placed at the top of the queue and your nomination gets placed in the earliest accessible week.

Whoever has his or her name lowest on the "Next 8 Nominators" list gets bumped from that space and is made to wait until another week to see his nomination compete.

Here. This will explain the process fully.

I'm not mad or anything. It's just last night, I was remarking to CHz that it'd be a tiny bit annoying if one more person came along as a new nominator. I was at the top of the queue at the end of Week 64. Then the BSC came along and generated interest among some new blood. That's a very good thing, so I didn't mind getting bumped as some new nominations came in.

Then there is this week's "Percussion Week", which was a pre-planned onslaught of people who hadn't nominated in a while and had fallen off the queue altogether. Their special event bumped me into next week's SotW.

However, a ton of new nominators also came along, so that I was at the bottom of the Top 8. CHz noticed that it'd only take one more to push me out again, which was you. But fair is fair and your pick certainly takes precedence over mine.

I just think that this may be a SotW record of some type - "Most consecutive weeks in which a nominator has been bumped into the following week's queue."

There's nowhere I can't reach.
