So I was looking at the nom archive, and apparently we've had picks from Metal Slugs 2/X, 4, 5, 6, and 3D, but not the first? Guess what I'm fixing.
  • Album: METAL SLUG COMPLETE SOUND BOX
  • Artist: HIYA! (Takushi Hiyamuta), JIM
  • Disc #: 1 (of 8)
  • Track #: 6
  • Track Title: Stage 2
  • Catalogue Number: SCDC-00542~9
  • Year: 2006
  • Additional Info: The proper title of this tune is "Inner Station," but I guess Metal Slug 1 is TOO MANLY FOR TRACK TITLES because they were omitted in the box.
  • Furthermore: I don't know who this JIM guy is but this is obviously HIYA! all the way.

Here be me votes.

(3 points)Kyle Pulver's Games - Everyone Loves Active 2
What is this fantastic track that everyone loves?! The clear-cut winner for me this week.

(2 points) Crepuscular - Crepuscular
Actually, this also sounds like a B-side to a Nifflas game (which is a good thing in my books). The retro-game sounds are so very quaint.

(1 point) Rhythm Tengoku Complete Music Collection - Twoside
Bouncey fun.

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

Conker's Bad Fur Day Soundtrack - Rock Solid When it comes to Conker, I think we're all going to have to admit that the pinnacle of its music is a giant singing piece of shit. The remainder is the same without the singing.

Crepuscular - Crepuscular Ambient quasi-jazz fusion. I can see this working well in the game but it's only meh outside of it.

Gikyokuonsou - Humpty Dumpty I though this was really building to something cool, and then came the painfully anemic piano and panpipes. And later: synth noodling. Disappointing.

Killer Cuts - Do It Now! I was always super disappointed with Killer Cuts, largely because it was .0001% music from the actial game and 99.9999% obnoxious stuff "inspired by." I know some peeps like it when their music talks or yells at them, but I ain't one.

Kyle Pulver's Games - Everyone Loves Active 2 I think this is what Crepuscular aspired to be: still ambient but a lot more lively and with some interesting ideas.

Ranger Wars OST - A Distant Arena It's like a Mega Man 6 song. Your opinion of Mega Man 6 songs will determine whether or not that counts as a good thing.

Rhythm Tengoku Complete Music Collection - Twoside As the man says, bouncy fun. Quasi-interesting fact: I read that as "Twoson" or maybe "Fourside" at first and was expecting an Earthbound remix.

The Monopoly Game 2 (Game Rip) - Boardwalk Cup Final I'd much rather just play Monopoly and hum to myself.

The Point Spread
Arena, Distant - 3 pts.
Twoside, Fourson - 2 pts.
Active 2, Nobody Loves - 1 pt.

Nomination to come. If Muzz guesses the game, composer, or genre I will eat my hat

Haha, I'm pretty sure I mentioned putting that up for the BSC '12 (speaking of which when do we start with that Muzz? It's your baby this year!). I'm still saving it for the big ring. A+ for effort though!

My actual nomination is from Alpha Protocol:
Composer: BT, Jason Graves, Rod Abernathy
Game: Alpha Protocol (Game Rip)
Track Title: Main Title
Track Number: 1
Year: 2010
Additional Information: Officially the main theme is by BT only, but I'm 99.9% sure Graves and/or Abernathy tweaked it

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

(3 points) Kyle Pulver's Games - Everyone Loves Active 2: I love it too. Nimble and airy, very pleasurable to listen to.

(2 points) Crepuscular - Crepuscular: Some moody synth and nice atmosphere, I can dig it.

(1 point) Ranger Wars OST - A Distant Arena: I had the same exact thought as Orion -- this thing is a dead ringer for Mega Man music. I'm not sure if the fact that it came out last year (instead of, say, 1993) is a plus or a minus.

To me, Crepuscular was the strongest of the bunch. It started off with some awesome atmospheric instrumentation and transitioned into a very groovy, catchy melody. The 1-pointers also had some strong points to them, but weren't as solid as Crepuscular.

Let's Do It Now! and Twoside were right on the edge of receiving points, but they just weren't quite strong enough to stand up to the 1-pointers. Boardwalk Cup Final was just sort of "meh". =/

(I have a hard time describing my subjective dis/enjoyment of music, so my apologies to the nominators who are looking for a better description of what I liked/didn't like about their nominations.)

My nomination:
  • Album: Hoshi no Kirby 64 Original Soundtrack
  • Artist: Jun Ishikawa, Hirokazu Ando
  • Disc #: 1 (of 1)
  • Track #: 27
  • Track Title: Factory Investigation
  • Catalogue Number: TECD-27457
  • Year: 2000
  • Source: VGMDB - Hoshi no Kirby 64 Original Soundtrack
  • Additional Info: Looking back through my collection, I obtained FOUR different compilations of Kirby 64's music. One was the rip of this official soundtrack, one was a rip of some other mysterious Kirby 64 "soundtrack," and the other two were game rips. While I have posted the official information here, I will upload one of the game rip's version of the above track instead of the soundtrack's rip. The reason for this is that I believe the sound quality and volume are better and that it provides the proper number of loops. (2 loops + fadeout.) However, for the purposes of this contest, I will rename the track so that it matches the official soundtrack's information. If there is a problem with doing this, please let me know and I will upload the official soundtrack's version instead.

    On a less important note, I've seen this track's title translated as "Factory Investigation" and "Studying the Factory". The original title is ?????????. The dictionary translation of this would be "factory inspection" or "factory observation".

Edit: Apparently the board converts hiragana into ?'s.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Don't sweat it. We're all the time trying to dress up "I hate this music please kill it now with a shotgun" so it seems all objective and intellectual ("its application of aleatoric principles to the 12-tone serial note cluster was a pedestrian attempt at capturing the mise en scène of the fin de siècle").

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

2 points: Crepuscular - Crepuscular
1 point: Gikyokuonsou - Humpty Dumpty

If anyone is actually curious about the rhythm shifts in Twoside: this piece plays in a minigame where you alternate between tapping on the beat and on the eighth notes between the beats. The bass and percussion straighten out during the offbeat sections to reinforce the beat, making it easier to figure out when to tap. One of my favorite audio cues in the game.

Note that there isn't really an explanation for anything else that happens in the piece, so it still fits right in.

I actually really like this too for some reason: The Monopoly Game 2 (Game Rip) - Boardwalk Cup Final

"Humpty Dumpty" Standard Sakuraba to me, which is definitely not a good thing. Other than that, a fine week! Indietastic!

Twoside is Kirby music; can't say much about that. Everyone Loves Active 2 was meandering at first, but the second half came in and I liked it a lot more. Every time I listen to Boardwalk Cup Final, I get this huge grin on my face.

I still hate y'all, but when I heard Twoside was in here I had to come make an appearance. It's without a doubt one of my favorite tunes in Rhythm Heaven Gold, second only to probably the Karate Guy songs, which is funny considering how infinitely frustrating the Twoside game actually is at first.

Looking back at my track history, most of my nominations win either first or last place. Results are more skewed to the latter. Love/hate relationship?
