Forty-Two catches the ambience of the picture and is really well sequenced. Takeshi captures my imaginagion with his old school sounds. John got a lovely vibe down melodically.

johnfn: nailed that Yasunori Mitsuda sound for the first and last sections. Everything about this is super lovely. The middle section sounds a bit more johnfn to me, while still under the influence.

Lucinate: beautiful piano work. Great beats. Reminds me of something that I can't quite remember exactly what it is.

Zedd: oooooh, love those chords. Good job on the mixing.

Forty-Two: a mysterious journey through a Gaelic place. Some good niceness here. Good instrumentation.

sci: weirdness is always good.
 

awesum: Forty-Two, johnfn, Lucinate, sci, Zedd.
good: Arcana, dusthillguy, jarski, Koekepan, Takeshi64.

A tough decision this week...

Secret of the Valley - Relates the most to the theme in my opinion. It sort of makes me think of Chinese opera tapes I used to listen to as a kid when the bass kicks in. I love the little jazz inflections with the piano.

Fog, Green Lands - I'm not really sure why, but I really like this one. It's just well composed, and it sounds good. Not the greatest explanation, I know.

drown me in this green abyss - A very interesting yet somehow pleasant sounding piece, despite not being too rhythmically in tact.

Honourable mentions!

The Final Quest - I really like the last third of it, but I keep hearing this weird beeping noise at around 0:33 - was that part of the music? It seemed a little out of place.

Ajnin Lufsseccus a ma I - The harmonies in the hook are interesting. I just wish there was percussion at the beginning of the piece - a low HiOpen or Snare for more atmosphere. It sounds like a good start to something even better.
