Zeus' Wrath Divine: I nominated this one because I just love the epic feel of it. The choir is a highlight here and the intense percussion just adds to the whole mix. It was one of the highlights of the soundtrack for me.

Talk to the Wind: I like the mysterious nature of this one. It's got a catchy melody and some nice bass line accompaniment. I have a soft spot for this type of synth.

1st Floor, Mushroom Mayhem: This is an interesting nomination. It's got that jazzy feel to it, but at times, I think it's a bit "noisy." It definitely fits the title though. Not bad, but not a favorite.

Sunken Ship: Well, Muzza, I must say, you have an ear for those catchy pieces! This one has a pretty nice beat and a great melody. I was surprised after hearing the title of the game. This is definitely a keeper!

Two of Braves: This one isn't too bad. It's got a pretty decent melody and some nice developments, but again, while catchy, it's not a favorite this week.

The Ryousanhaken Suite: Now this one is pretty damn catchy! I love the fusion of styles and the developments throughout. This one is definitely getting some points!

Shinju Heading to the Forest: While I do like the Mushihimesama soundtrack, and I do appreciate this style of music, it's up against some tough competition. I'll definitely keep it, because it's a great arrangement, but in the sea of other nominations, this one barely missed the cut.

Stage 2 - Cherlindrea's Forest II: Well, this is has a pretty nice melody too! It's also quite catchy. There are parts of it that I didn't really like, especially in the B section, but overall, it was a solid offering.

2 points: God of War Original Soundtrack - Zeus' Wrath Divine
2 points: McDonald's Treasure Land Adventure (Game Rip) - Sunken
2 points: Suikoden: The Divine Oath - The Ryousanhaku Suite

I'm working on another nomination.

God of War Original Soundtrack - Zeus' Wrath Divine Very filmic. The percussion work is very nice, and the choir lends the track a nice depth. The actual melody and rhythm parts aren't super-strong, though.

Jewel Master (Game Rip) - Talk to the Wind Pretty bland. There's not a whole lot going on, and the whole production feels really limp.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis (Game Rip) - 1st Floor, Mushroom Mayhem I remember listening to Tappy's MvDK1 rip a dog's age ago; good bouncyfun was had by all. This isn't quite in the same league...the bounce is there, but it's not developed as much as it could be, and there's an awful lot of repetition.

McDonald's Treasure Land Adventure (Game Rip) - Sunken Ship More bouncyfun Superior to the MvDK2 in terms of variety, but still missing that little hook that turns it from good to great.

Rockman EXE 5DS & 6 Complete Music Encyclopedia - Two of Braves A very busy and layered sound, this. Pretty good by the standards of latter-day Mega Man music, with a great melody and rhythm even if the limitations of the synth make things a tad mushy.

Suikoden: The Divine Oath - The Ryousanhaku Suite I don't normally go in for funk, but this has some smooth moves and class. Sweet Suikoden's Badassssss Song.

THE SECRET LOVER: Mushihimesama REMIX TRACKS - Shinju Heading to the Forest -arrange version- Smooth jazz-sytle piano-led synth groove. It's got some nice chops, in a very different way from the previous funkalicious entrant.

Willow (Arcade Game Rip) - Stage 2 - Cherlindrea's Forest II I heard this one in a YouTube video and managed to track down a copy. It doesn't have a whit in common with James Horner's Willow score, or the beloved NES version's chirps, but it's insanely catchy all the same.

The Point Spread
Cherlindea's Forest II - 3 pts.
Two of Braves - 2 pts.
Zeus' Wrath Divine - 1 pt.
Just missed: the Funk Twins

Nomination time!

Album: Putty Squad (SNES Rip)
Artist: Richard Joseph
Track Title: Dr. Sushi's Laboratory of Terror
Track Number: 4
Year: 1994
Source: Game profile: Putty Squad ~ SNESmusic.org
Additional Info: This game was originally supposed to be an Amiga game, but was canceled at the last minute - after copies had already been sent to reviewers to score. It was then released on the SNES later. I would be so excited if the Amiga version of this game ever surfaced anywhere, along with the music for that system. But for now, the SNES music will do.

I think I've heard twenty versions of Shinju Heading to the Forest in SotW. But hey, this is the best one yet, so who am I to say anything?

Now this is more like my kind of week.

2 points: McDonald's Treasure Land Adventure (Game Rip) - Sunken Ship
1 point: Jewel Master (Game Rip) - Talk to the Wind
1 point: Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis (Game Rip) - 1st Floor, Mushroom Mayhem
1 point: Suikoden: The Divine Oath - The Ryousanhaku Suite
1 point: Willow (Arcade Game Rip) - Stage 2 - Cherlindrea's Forest II

So many great tracks. The Ryousanhaku Suite was pretty engaging despite the length, but it tries to do a lot and kind of throws everything and the kitchen sink at you. I like Jewel Master's soundtrack, even if Talk to the Wind wasn't quite one of my favorites. I remember wanting to nominate the first level's theme "Jewel Master" for the BCC. Even Zeus' Wrath Divine was nice, although completely out of place this week.

Enjoyable week with lots of chiptune-ish contenders, but it seems I've fallen more towards some of the more realistic sounding ones.

(3 points) Suikoden: The Divine Oath - The Ryousanhaku Suite
(2 points) THE SECRET LOVER: Mushihimesama REMIX TRACKS - Shinju Heading to the Forest -arrange version-
(1 point) McDonald's Treasure Land Adventure (Game Rip) - Sunken Ship

--------------------

Next nomination:
  • Artist: Sota Fujimori
  • Album Title: Neo Contra (Game Rip)
  • Track Title: Mission 3
  • Track Number: 12
  • Year: 2004
  • Additional Information: Not the most obscure nom that will come from me, but since the game is not as popular as the first or third Contra, plus the fact no official album was released, I think it should be OK for SotW. Hopefully some people haven't heard this tune yet; I didn't until a few months ago and it instantly became a favorite!

It will be uploaded to the SotW server today.

Didn't care for most of the tracks this week.

3 pts. - The Ryousanhaku Suite
2 pts. - Shinju Heading to the Forest -arrange version
1 pt. - Talk to the Wind

Ryousanhaku Suite is by far my longest nom ever, and only the second arrangement I've nominated, but I think it's justified. It's a nice jazz fusion (I guess?) song that kind of reminds me of the stuff _DH_ used to nominate. It's 10 minutes long, but it's progressive enough to remain enjoyable throughout. And in a week like this, there's something to be said for actual instruments.

I've never played Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2, but 1st Floor was really familiar. I'm thinking it's a remix of the stage 1 song from the first game?
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?
