Yeah I agree, the song on 13th street is the only one that really sticks in my head from that one.
And that's because it's a remix of an already fine tune. It doesn't really fit the "evening in the bakery" stage too much. It'd fit a more industrial oriented stage much better, like an abandoned tank factory or something.

Hm, I thought the new IBI remix had a bit of that 'London at night' feel to it. It must be the beginning or something.

Most of the CV-remixes in PoR weren't too good. I liked the Kings Valley II remixes, though. :D

Well, it happened before I needed to blow on it at all iirc. But if someone blew on it before... I don't know. In anycase, its way too late to regret, or really care now.

I have a copy of Maximum Carnage for the SNES that will only work if you spit in it a little before you plug it in.I've probably had that for 10 years now and it still works
What a horrible night to have a curse!

wow, I've never heard of snes carts having that problem before. Was there anything the cart was exposed to or anything that came in direct physical contact with it that could have caused it to need the water to conduct enough electricity to play properly? I'd also be careful too spitting in it as eventually it could short the cart out too.  :)

You know that's true, actually. Portrait does have a surplus of action-oriented cues. I really didn't even notice that until I plowed through with Richter & Maria and heard some of the pieces more closely together. Of course, it really is most evident in the final four painting stages where the only respite from the hard-hitting numbers are "Sandfall" and "Behind the Gaze." Apart from that, the environments really don't seem all that suited to such active music. - Something I think even Dawn accomplished well.

- One thing I can't help but point out, "Troubled Times" rocks. Primarily because it sounds to me like it came straight out of CV II - Belmont's Revenge. Repetitive, simple, but I'll be damned if that cue doesn't fit the Nest of Evil perfectly.
