Strangely, the traffic to this site hasn’t dipped since it’s gone inactive, and the download count on every item on the front page have kept rising. Sweet – well, keep coming, because things are looking up here on my end. For now, a song I really like lately that isn’t from a game:

Azure Dreams Tower III, Variation II
The amount of positive feelings I have toward Azure Dreams is in wild disproportion to how little I played the game. I barely got far at all, but I still tried like 3 times over 5 years. I blame myself for not getting into it enough to complete it; I simply wasn’t made right. The music wasn’t really outstanding, but I liked the sensibility of it all. In this song, it really kicks in at 0:50, where it beautifully drags out a simple culmination over 25 seconds. Azure Dreams also wins the Most Tower Songs award, though the Best Tower Song award still goes to Lufia II, coming soon.
