[SotW] Song of the Week - WEEK 99 Voting/WEEK 100 Nominating

(1 point) Back in Time II - Galway Is God 2000
(1 point) Elebits (Wii Game Rip) - Extras Mode
(1 point) Muppet RaceMania (Game Rip) - Rooftops
(3 points) Symphony Sorcerian - The Ice Cave 'Cave I' ~ The Head of Medusa 'Forest' ~ King Dragon ~ Ending I


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

It's slipped my mind for a few days to post this nomination of Dragon God's.

• Artist: Shinji Hosoe
• Album/Game Title: FolksSoul ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK
• Track Title: Skilled Spear
• Disc Number: 3 (of 3)
• Track Number: 14
• Catalog Number: KDSD-00141~3
• Year: 2007
• Sources: #gamemp3s

Also, while it's on my mind, anyone have any suggestions of how long we should run the SotW break for? Running it until the first round of the SAUS finishes would be way too long, as would running it until the BSC finishes. It might be better not to pick a specific milestone and just bring it back when it "seems right," but that's too nebulous and it would be really nice to have a fixed date in the interest of retaining interest.

So that we're not completely bored out of our skulls, I'm going to run a poll for the eligibility of Darkcomet72's proposed nomination at some point in time during the break.

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

I think that taking a rest isn't the best idea. Maybe the best is to continue with these double-duration-weeks, as it has been working well so far. Or if the delay is inevitable, I wouldn't stop for more than just a week.

Mind using the version of this track off the 2006 OST? The track is unlooped on the 1996 version, but looped on the later release. I've uploaded it here for your examination.

How ya doing, buddy?

That version's fine, CHz. I didn't even know there was an OST; I just took the track directly from the SPC set I was listening to.

I'd say no more than a week or two, and we should create/leave open a thread for nominations and discussion.

FELIPE NO

Quick vote:

(2 points) Spider-Man 3 (Game Rip) - MJ Thrill Ride (looped)

(2 points) Symphony Sorcerian - The Ice Cave 'Cave I' ~ The Head of Medusa 'Forest' ~ King Dragon ~ Ending I

(1 point) Secret of Evermore - White Castle Town

(1 point) Muppet RaceMania (Game Rip) - Rooftops

And I realised I made a mistake with the SoE game title, making it now one of the longest game album titles ever (!!!). Oops.

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

Quick point spread to get it in before closing; I'll edit with comments later.

3 pts. - Extras Mode
1 pt. - Rooftops
1 pt. - Galway is god 2000
1 pt. - MJ Thrill Ride

EDIT: I actually like the idea of just keeping each week open for two weeks rather than suspending SotW.

How ya doing, buddy?

Last minute entry here..

2 pts - White Castle Town
2 pts - Galway is God
1 pts - Extras Mode
1 pts - Just Bourbon

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Voting is closed! Nominations are still open because I still think at least a short break would be beneficial to BSC/SAUS participants to get at least partially caught up in either event. Plus I was kind of counting on a break for DC72 nom discussion.

2). [22] Spider-Man 3 (Game Rip) - MJ Thrill Ride
3). [17] Muppet RaceMania (Game Rip) - Rooftops

Time to update the statistics thread with my first gold! I'm glad Galway is God 2000 was well received, despite some of the confusion at first. And as an aside point, this track was remix/medley of two game themes/loaders (begins with Rambo: First Blood Part II, then Green Beret at about 3:50) that were composed by Martin Galway on the C64. Thanks for voting, guys.

I haven't done a nomination in ages so here's mine: (I hope I get this right...)

FELIPE NO

Man, with all these late nominations, Week 101 has turned into Vocal Week.

Also, does anyone actually care about this?

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

I trust everyone has had a pleasant week of catch-up? Caught up with your SAUS/BSC backlog, and all that? 512 tracks is certainly a massive amount, and that contest is hurtling forward at sonic speed.

It appears that pretty much everyone who cared enough to vote seemed okay with Search for the Lost Riff, much to my enjoyment because it's an awesome track and chagrin because it'll be up against a nom of mine.

Anyway, I suppose I should get to the real reason why I've called all of you here today. Most people were in favor of the break being as short as possible, so I am hereby enacting that SotW will start as usual tomorrow. I expect we will end up going onto a biweekly schedule again as there are still quite a few SAUS tracks remaining, but I suppose we can deal with that eventuality when it gets to the weekend.

With this policy also comes the ISO 3103-compelled decision that nominations are now restricted. I apologize to any nominators who were hoping to get a slot into the vaunted milestone Week 100, but we must be moving forward if we intend to remain at the top of our industry. Of course, slots for Week 101 are still open, and I heartily encourage the nomination of vocal tracks for it in the spirit of creating an impromptu theme week.

That's all I have on the agenda for this meeting, so if there are no questions, you are all free to return to work. Carol, as soon as you have finished up those minutes, I'd appreciate it if you could e-mail them to me and the entire department. Thanks for your attendance, people.

How ya doing, buddy?
