Latest music rips (updated April 11, 2008):
Cold Winter Original Game Music Score - Really cool; dark, full, emotional strings mixed with drums, piano, choir. Kind of like Furious Angels? Super Off-Road - SNES rock from the Follin bros. Currently playing: Nothing Play-Asia - Japanese CDs, game soundtracks, game imports, & more What else do I listen to? |

This choice seems obvious to me. Both try to be upbeat and rockin', but Journey to Silius does it with really catchy melodies, while I still can't remember anything from the Wacky Wheels song after listening to it for the last 15 minutes. Title Screen easily wins here.

Wacky Wheels is utterly unmemorable. At least I said so last time and that's because it felt just like whatever song winamp had playing just before it.
Journey to silious is so much better than unmemorable it hurts. |

If Journey to Silius wasn't so good, I'd be mad about it beating Revenge of Shinobi's China Town.
Turbo justifies its existence around 0:38. and I think I still like it, even over Silius' title theme. Journey to Silius was one of the first NES games to be recognized as doing such wicked things with the NES hardware, but I think we've settled at a new standard by now, and I'm not much overwhelmed by the actual melody. There's not much left once the novelty wears off. ![]() |

As I noted in the BSC and BCC Round 1, Journey to Silius (NES) - Title Screen offers up some solid frantic stylings without falling prey to genericism. I'd like a stronger melody, maybe, but whaddaya gonna do.
Wacky Wheels (Adlib) - Turbo is pretty much cut from the same cloth, with less melodic content and more of that paint-by-the-numbers feel. Not the worst offender, of course, and there are some nice original bits. Sillyous. Sillyus. Silious. Silithus? ![]() From goop we came, to goop we return.

I am voting for Turbo.
Title Screen is a good, satisfying type of generic, but as of late, it ultimately fails to impress. In fact, Stage 1 has also fallen off my rung of awesome. Turbo is head spinning. 0:36 and 1:20 kick ass.

It would seem that "Title Screen" is obliterating its opponent. And for a pretty good reason, it's a much higher quality track. "Turbo"'s good, it just lacks a little somethin'.
ZOMG how many tracks are there in the contest with something about a title in them? /major intellectual breakthrough |

Wacky Wheels - Turbo - 6th best song of bracket D
Journey to Silius - Title Screen - 13th best song of bracket D While others would say that Silius has a hook, I'd say Turbo has a tremendous amount of energy and enthusiasm that Title Screen either lacks or at least seems artificial. I also think there's something to be said about fitting so many good ideas into the same song without it seeming completely unglued, and it's not a disparaging word. ![]() |
