[Attention] Best Doujin Contest Nomination Thread

It's time to put up your picks for this year's off-season music contest! Nominations will use the Modified SAUS Nomination Process (adapted from Drakken's explanation). Some key points:

Nominations end Dec. 3.
This gives nominators a little under a month to finish.

All nominations must be doujin.
This pretty much goes without saying. If in doubt, remember Liontamer's Law: if the copyright holders aren't the ones who organized or authorized the creation of the track, it's doujin.

Everyone may nominate up to 10 tracks, ranked in order from best to worst.
As with the BSC, you don't have to nominate a full set of ten. If there's only one song you want to put up, do it.

Once the nomination period ends, an equal number of nominations will be taken from each nominator to reach a total of 256.
This means that there are no BSC-style points to assign, and there is no reason to "boost" other peoples' nominations.

The earlier you post your nomination list, the more likely you are to gain an extra song in the contest.
For example, if there were 30 nominators with 10 songs apiece, for a total of 300 songs, the first 8 nominations would be taken from each nominator and entered into the contest, for a total of 240 songs. The remaining 16 tracks would be the #9 nominations of the first 16 nominators.

You must upload the songs that you nominate.
Since doujin by its very nature can be hard to track down, everyone is responsible for tagging and uploading their nominations. Some people have access to their own servers and can link tracks directly; others can use free file uploaders such as Sendspace, Megaupload, or Rapidshare.

Sample Nomination.
01. Album Title <Artist> - [Disc#.Track#] Track Title

If you want, you can include information on the original composer, album, or track:

01. Album Title <Artist> - [Disc#.Track#] Track Title (Original Album - Original Track)

I don't seek out doujin often, so most of my picks are from remix sites. Deal with it. They're still high quality.


1: Remix.kwed.org - Chronblom - "Wizardry - Bright'n Shiny Version"
2: Bound Together - Beatdrop - 05 - "Keep It Short"
3: Remix.kwed.org - Dr. Future - "The Great Giana Sisters"
4: OCRemix.org - Star Salzman - "Duck Blur"
5: OCRemix.org - AE - "Mega Man 2 Soap and Water OC Remix"
6: Remix.kwed.org - tomsk - "Knucklebusters (PSX Music2000 Edit)"
7: To Heart 2 Arranged - e - 01 - "Always Together, Surely Together"
8: OCRemix.org - PlanetSkill - "Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Oil Ocean [WT-40 Mix]"
9: STG x STG Cool & Create - myu - "Love so++"
10: Remix.kwed.org - Dafunk - "Trick Bag (modified)"




Download the RAR

EDIT: The rar contains "Cobra", which I've replaced with "Knucklebusters". Please note this during the final tabulations. I've hotlinked the Knucklebusters nomination to its home on Remix.kwed.org.
EDIT #2: Changed the "To Heart 2" track. It's probably doesn't have quite the broad appeal as the first track I picked but I like this one more.
12/3/07 - Changed the order of nominations to ensure the inclusion of particular ones.

Remix names are now download links! This list is final and won't change unless I notice an inaccuracy in the information somewhere.

Might as well give this a shot. My doujin experience is quite limited so the remixes and arranges I listen to tend to have a more "mainstream" VGM slant. Nonetheless, here are some pieces that I thought are nice enough, at least to me, to be mentioned somewhere. I'll rank them later when I can decide which songs are my clear favourites. There are a couple of remixes I'm still toying around with and may decide to swap them out later.

[EDIT]: Oops, orion beat me to nominating "Premonition". Might be a good excuse for me to swap it out with something else that's lingering just outside my top ten.

[EDIT2]: Oops, I think Rimo's Dune doujin nomination might be the same as the one I nominted. Ok, excuse to get another track to replace Dune. Will provide uploads soon (will PM orion).
