125 & 128. Surprised myself by liking a Genesis song.

If I were even more narcissistic than I think I am, I'd suspect Forostar deliberately pitted two intros to test my policy against voting for intros. But, I think Hairless Heart is less an intro than a transitional piece that is part of an overall suite -- sort of like the Pink Floyd song a round or two ago. So, I vote for that. Plus, I liked it better than the Helloween, which gets credit in my book for tongue-in-cheek acknowledgement in the title that it's an intro -- that sort of self-deprecating humor will go miles with me.

As for the second matchup -- I mean, please. Still, hats off to Forostar for the common Egyptian theme in both (well, at least in the Powerslave cover).

My votes won't matter anyway, but I'm voting for Helloween and Egyptian Danza.

I've never been much for spacey-sounding 80's keyboard scales, so Genesis did nothing for me. As for the second pair, I like Losfer Words and all, but I'm a sucker for Egyptian melodies and Di Meola knocks it out of the park.

These four are the last "new" pieces of music in the game. After this, we're in he next phase (64 tracks left).

Wait a minute, stop the clock, there must be some mistake, as we have not yet had a chance to consider the mind-blowing "Jennings Farm Blues," my favorite instrumental of all at the moment!!

We're having an equal result between 125 and 126. Would someone who didn't vote yet make a decision?

I can tie break. I'll vote for Helloween.

 

[Forostar]

Thanks!

Alright, Helloween goes through!
