206 Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night — Wandering Ghosts (G)
120 Soukaigi — Fire Wire (B)

Aard, you're evil...This is probably the hardest decision for me up until this point.

I'm going with Fire Wire. It's such a strange juxtoposition of elements that it actually makes Wandering Ghosts seem fairly normal.

But really, either one is great.

What else can I add ? Fire Wire all the way. Gotta support my nominations to the end!

EDIT TYPO.

Crap.

6/10 Wandering Ghosts
The beginning of this song initially turns me off, but the jazz component is nicely played. A very good song I'd have to say.

4/10 Fire Wire
A decent song, but it still doesn't ultimately have that same uniqueness element that makes me want to vote for Wandering Ghosts. I also don't find this song weird at all.

Ghosts just got busted. It probably would've fallen earlier if it hadn't been up against two super-short KH2 pieces to this point. To be fair, though, Fire Wire's more than many competitors could handle. Poor Pumpkin...

206 Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night — Wandering Ghosts (G)
120 Soukaigi — Fire Wire (B)

Wandering Ghosts has an interesting instrumentation and a rather funny melody. Fire Wire is much better, though. The piano solo from 1:41 on is very cool. The rest of the track is very good as well. The strings might be a bit annoying, but overall, it's still the better track.

Oh fucking christ. FUCKING CHRIST.

FUCKING CHRIST.

Wandering Ghosts is wonderful but got totally owned by the very INTRO to Fire Wire.

Soukaigi: a little rock, yes, but I didn't find it special.
Castlevania: oh, I remember, it was the song I called the restroom-track, this kind of track you always hear in a Mcdonalds restroom... (beginning from 0:29)

Soukaigi wins out of necessity.

Edit: Oh, forget it...

Wandering Ghosts is one of my noms, but Fire Wire rocks, so I don't mind if it beats WG. It's worth stating again that Fire Wire has the best-sounding drum kit of all the songs in this contest.

The McDonalds around me are too cheap to afford music in their restrooms...

If I knew any McDonald's that played music like Wandering Ghosts in the bathrooms, I'd go MUCH more frequently.

Naturally, Enigmatic and Shadow are pitted in an absolute dog of a matchup one thing earlier, and now I must choose between these two sublime tracks. Lovely.

I'm choosing Fire Wire. I expect people do the same when Die On Destiny rolls around.

Okay, I voted for Wandering Ghosts. Fire Wire is more annoying than interesting; I HATE that little violin ditty played at the beginning and repeated throughout. The bass line is the only thing really going for it.
