45. Donkey Kong Country 2 - Lockjaw's Saga
Nominated by: todbot
Not one of my absolute favorites from DKC, but I do think it's better than a lot of ones people tend to hype up (*coughminingmelancholycough*). I actually like like the sound of water sloshing around that Lockjaw's Saga uses; if it used it too much it might get annoying, but I think a few uses now and then really build atmosphere (also, I just like the sound of water). Speaking of atmosphere, this is definitely an atmosphere piece, but I think it works really well in that regard, so that's fine with me.
44. Fate/hollow ataraxia - Excalibur
Nominated by: Phase
Original link is dead, but I got to it before it went down, so yay.
Cool song. I really like the beginning; it's very dramatic and distinctive. It then segues into a section that goes on a bit long in my opinion, and then at about 1 minute in changes completely in a way that I really like. So, that section in the middle is the only real flaw here, and even then it's not bad at all, I just prefer everything else.
43. Digital: A Love Story - Space Beacon
Nominated by: Kamekguy
I'm not particularly familiar with Digital's soundtrack, but I think I listened to most of it... once? This isn't the best track from it by any means but I have a fairly positive opinion of the soundtrack of a whole. I actually think I like the very beginning of this (the first 45 or so seconds) the most, though none of it is bad by any means.
42. Frogger's Adventures: The Rescue - Forgotten Island Level 2
Nominated by: MycroProcessor
I really like the little bird/insect? chirps used in this; that kind of thing can sometimes be distracting but here they're subtle enough that they just add to the piece. Also like the instruments used, though I can't name... any of them with any degree of certainty. LOOK AT HOW GOOD I AM AT TALKING ABOUT MUSIC GUYS. This definitely sounds like jungle music, and I mean that in the best way possible.
41. Burnout 3: Takedown - Shine
Nominated by: Orochimaru_Fan
My kind of music, or at least sometimes it is. Really smooth and I love how it builds as it goes on. Also like how it keeps introducing new elements and subtly changing itself up to keep from getting repetitive. It doesn't have one stand out section, but that's mostly because the whole thing is so consistently good.
