“What is the best Sega Saturn soundtrack?” – #SoundtrackShowdown Week Six

“What’s the best Sega Saturn soundtrack?”

Welcome back to Soundtrack Showdown, week six! You might be thinking: “What the– Where’s week five, you putz with an inability to properly count?!” Well, try as we did, Atari week just didn’t work out for this event and I ended up canceling it. Sorry about that, but it was for the best. Atari will forever live on in our memories, but not necessarily musically.

Now, on with the show(down).

You can visit the main event page here for more information but in short, we’re looking for nominations from you today and tomorrow (Monday and Tuesday) for the best Sega Saturn soundtrack. All nominations received will appear in a poll open from Wednesday through Saturday when you’ll be able to vote for the best Sega Saturn soundtrack. We’ll determine the winner on Sunday!

Reminders

-Nominations can be left in comments on this blog or on Twitter, just tag @thewellredmage and/or use #soundtrackshowdown.

-Please keep it to ONE nomination per person but if your first choice is already taken then feel free to nominate a different soundtrack.

-If you name more than one soundtrack, I’ll have to ruin your day and ask you to choose! 

-We’re looking for exclusives, not ports, within reason. Timed exclusives are ok to mention provided they were originally on Saturn.

Let’s escape to the one place not corrupted by capitalism… SPACE, or more specifically, Saturn. Calling all retro gamers and Sega fans (why not tag some?)! Let’s hear some shouts for the greatest Sega Saturn soundtracks.

Nominate ONE soundtrack below or on social media! Share tracks, tell us what team you’re on, appreciate the artistry behind the music!
