1. So positively beautiful I couldn't not vote for it. Also dat title.

2. More of a look-forward sort of piece, but still really pretty.

3. I'm a fan of Krieg the Psycho and of psychos in general. STRIP THE FLESH. SALT THE WOUND. Psychotic music, particularly past viewing psycho music, is A-ok in my books.

codekk: Questional mixing aside, a very unique piece perfectly fitting of the theme. Great melody, makes me want to listen again and again, but leaves me wanting more!

Johnfn: Perfect atmosphere for theme, had a hard time choosing between this and codekk's piece.

Atmospherium: So unique, such a different take but still so fitting to the theme.

Honorable mention: Starla, who always has the guts to just go for it. OHC275 will always be the one where Starla sang about the banana.

Really lots of great stuff this week. Hard not to vote for Forty-two. Rare that you hear a song where the melody alone can carry the whole track from measure to measure and remain fresh.

trancient i love your progression too much i couldn't not vote it first place :x the title of the song fits the content so well, it is just such a wistful piece. i love the climax at 1:18 but the real highlight of the piece imo is that awesome transition into the outro at 1:55, my jaw dropped the first time i heard that. plus, the beats at that point are just amazing.

ddr yeah the guitar/chip/trance combo is just crazy. the 0:47 section is amazing, i wish it was developed more before you switched into the trance bit ;.;

forty-two i'm really pleased you got EWQL, the massive jump in sound quality is really helping you out. beautiful melodies

codekk as usual melodies are really great and the sinewavey chords make for a really strong musicbox feel and great theme fit. love it

blastron it's really nice from a compositional/arrangement standpoint but imho the instrument choices are off, too many high/sharp frequencies, and esp that lead could be switched up. but i still like it a lot.

wow... obScene and trancient wrote REALLY similar sounding pieces (speaking in terms of chord progression). obScene your thing had great chords too.

shout out to a-zu-ra for singing :D

good job everyone!

    A-zu-ra
DDRKirby(ISQ) - super peaceful, supporting the comfort.
Atmospherium - interesting glitch effect, implying the overriding of previous life.
A-zu-ra - nice work with the vocals, writing lyrics into the song.
