The development in Rising is excellent.

Subliminal is musically complex, even a little challenging, but satisfying nonetheless.

The Biogenerator is thematically spot-on, but loses its way compositionally a bit.

Honourable mentions to Cryogenesis (which has a lovely melody) and Kumquat Dream (which is arguably off-topic but beautifully done).

Ehh I didn't have a lot of time to listen to the entries this week so this is more based on first impressions.

"Wake Up, The Machines Are Rising" - Brilliantly captured in the description. Something dreamy but also eerie. I love it.

"secret" - I enjoyed this one's warm blend of instruments and the voice. It sort of clipped at the beginning though, which was a little odd.

"mind storage" - I like how it sounds pretty but also a bit clashing at times. It really adds to the atmosphere that suits this theme imo.

Other contenders were "Subliminal" and "Voltex" and "Gnihton fo stol", because I kind of like weird, and this one was funny because it's so extraterrestrial-like.

eery: so mysterious, so magical, so fantastical. I'm inside a fantasy world, trying to wake up from an enchanting dream. Beautiful, great work!

Forty-Two: another magical entry, in a very 80s fashion, yet with a touch of 42. Super good.

A-zu-ra: oh, this is good! It has that futuristic feel. Every little thing here is rock solid.
 

awesum: A-zu-ra, eery, Forty-Two, ItsaMii, Patashu, sci.
good: Acuity, aptbr, Arcana, Hollow, Koekepan, Takeshi64.
