504 [TIE]: MAZEDUDE - MYST SHROOMS:

https://mazedude.bandcamp.com/track/myst-shrooms

Nominator: sergiocornaga (15/18)

Initial Score: 42.19 [#492]
Revised Score: 48.56 [#454]
Final Score: 45.60 [#505]

(First Thoughts: I dont think I like this style of music.)

1: I dont know what Acid Jazz is, but if this is an example of it, then Im not really a fan. Now that I think about it, there was some Acid Jazzed Remix song last year, wasnt there? I didnt like it either.

2: Im not a fan of Myst or its style of puzzles, though I respect them. Im just too ignorant and impatient to do anything with them. So... no chance of nostalgia with that game impacting my opinion. [I also wouldnt say I dislike Myst enough for it to have a negative impact. Like I said, I do respect the game.]

3: I didnt listen to much of the Myst OST, but clicking through four songs randomly, Ill say this song does appear to be a distinct improvement over the originals. I love ambient music, but if there are any good ambient tracks on the OST, Im certainly not finding them tonight.

4: I still dont like the song, but it is unique & an improvement over the original, so I respect it enough to move it close to the 50 point mark. I dont want it to cross it, that would imply I actually liked it, but....its not bad.

[Final Thoughts: Nope, definitely not a fan of Acid Jazz. Again, presuming this indicative of the style,]

Final Score: 45.60 [#504]

(First Thoughts: [space intentionally left blank])

I havent listened to much Industrial music, but if this is representative of the genre as a whole, then Im probably not a fan of it in general. This is one of those songs I cant find anything I want to say about, so... Im just not going to say anything about this and go somewhere arbitrary:

[Todays arbitrary song comes from the G.I. Joe arcade game]

Mission 1-1 - Chemical Plant:

When I nominated this for NFUNs 1000 song VGM topic, I didnt actually realize this was a remake of one of the cartoons intros. Never saw an episode from whichever season it came from and dont care to look up if it was one of the Sunbow seasons or DIC seasons, because its irrelevant to me. Probably wouldnt have nominated it had I known that at the time, but cest la vie.

I like this version of the song; its quite fitting for the style of game it plays in, because this just feels like blindly rush forward and shoot a bunch of generic enemies music. Its catchy, the cheesy vocal samples are somehow laughably ridiculous & oddly inspiringalso funny that it keeps repeating GOT TO GET TOUGH when you gun down hundreds of Cobra soldiers in this opening stage alone. Its stupid, but I actually really love this track.

[Final Thoughts: Well, I dont think this is a genre I get much exposure to, so I appreciate it on that level... but I cant find any part of the song that I really like or want to talk about. Its not that I want to avoid speaking about it, I just...cant find any words.

Actually I think Im going to have this tie with the acid jazz Myst song; theyre both in that same sort of I dont think I like this genre, but I do need to hear more of the genre to actually be able to say that, so I am thankful for the nomination type space.

...I also probably wouldnt have talked about Chemical Plant if Id known NFUNs topic was going to pop up, but such is life.]
