That atmosphere from cotmm68030 was perfect. Just what the theme wanted.

ethansight, I thought this was super cool. The introduction was really engaging with the really cool percussion and then it gets into the piano and the lead which were fantastic. Hope you work on this. It ended too quickly.

Thunder: This had really good instruments and a lot of lovely themes and development. The one thought that I had was that when it was getting all sassy and rhythm, that it would stay there longer and develop more in that direction instead of returning.

Yeah nice work with the beats and melody TheVideoGamer. It sounds good and has good beats and everything. It's funky. Even got the whoosh in there. Good details!

For Overgrowth, I loved the foresty vibe, it worked really well with the chiptune sounds. I'm not really sure why I loved Gardenica, it just reminded me of a magical forest of some sort. And Machinery, well, it honestly sounds like a major studio-produced song. The 8-bit solo was great. There were more I liked but these 3 topped it.

I evaluated songs by quality and how I thought it fit with the source images. So many fun songs.

Ok why did i not vote before? I swear i voted. Moving on...

@Arcana - As much as this is funny, there is actually other reasons to why my tracks are long. I won't tell you, it's a secret you have to guess lol.

@NickC - The best part about my responses, is that....er...they are responses. I listen, i critique, i troll every now and then. My essay's are there for you to actually get my feedback. If i didn't do this at 2am (Because hey ho...I'm British, and this compo is heavily American) then i would be asleep or trying to make music anyways lol.

@Misael.K - I think the chords are nice too. So nice, it's officially became the greatest TVG chord sequence of OHC, award by me, because there is no-one else to award it to haha...

@TheSocialConstruct - Ok i stand corrected, everyone is in-love with the chord progression....

@Arcana - There is a bassline, but the chords are mostly keyboard sounds/bells....

@Suzums - Can't go wrong with a 303

@NickC - Shocking i know, but there is no panning on the snare....

@TheSocialConstruct - 20X6? Never heard of that. I don't think google even knows lol.

@Arcana - Everything i do is interesting haha. I'm just not normal...

@Nukage - Oh yeah, i would defiantly imagine this as a Summer song.

@Misael.K - Is it weird that i was touched by your sentiment? Then again how often do i get to be proud of my works?

@Insvisible Observer - Why thank you partner.....

@TheSocialConstruct - Lots of happy smiles when people listen to my entrant. It must be a sign. Thanks for the oh so lovely feedback.

@obScene - A+? Daam does that mean i get extra credit?

@InvisibleObserver - Nope I'll make it an hour. Howsaboutdat eh? I guess Misael.K said it best. Any longer, and everyone will start drifting off...

@Everyone - Thanks for the kind words! You guys seem to really like my track haha...

Ok then...

TheVideoGamer - This track came about from the image, as usual, but like a lot of what people have pointed out, it comes with a seriously dope chord sequences. You'd be surprised when i came up with it (Which you know...quick decisions and ideas...) i got Goosebumps it was just sooo good, and i know when I'm proud of my work. After the chords, came the bass, the drums, and the lead square melody and of course since it's nature i had to put forest sounds in. Other than that, nothing else to show. Glad you liked it!

cotmm68030 - Did you contact Paul for this? Or is it a synth? I don't usually stretch audio, but when i do, it's always in good places. Well done anyways!

DrumJ8 - As usual, cool grooves!

Suzumebachi - No disrespect to anyone out their that uses it, but i really find Vocaloid or whatever's similar to sound really weird and artificial. It sounds like a text to sing robot thing. Other than that, the backing track is incredible so well done!

DarkShadow - I'm so glad your tracks are 1 minute....not an offense, a compliment...

nukage - Great futuristic sounds. This seems a little different from Nukage, but at the same time, it is Nukage. Loved it anyways, well done!

thesocialcontract - Really loving the space, and the expanded harmony. Main reasons i was drawn to your track. Well done!

Wassup Thunder - Nothing wrong with this. Rather pretty, almost Asian sounding classical music. Well done!

A2Z - Tricky this week, a lot of good ones, but yours stood out, because of the great drums and ambient combo. It's like your banging on trash cans or something haha, awesome pads/strings too. Excellent dude!

obScene - I'm not a fan of the sharp leads, i was always cautious of that kind of retro sound. Great work though, nice melodic ideas!

NickC - Maybe a little too loud, but nonetheless great production and especially great synths! Well done!

DDRKirby(ISQ) - Your pretty excellent when it comes to ethic styled compositions. Really digging this mix too, awesome work!

Misael.K - You know the best parts are the ones that are the most developed. Sure the first half is nice, but it takes a while to get going before i really dig it. Good job though, melodies were great!

Koekepan - The track would be way better without the 808 pulse, it could take it above and beyond. Personally it's way too long, for it's development (Which is saying something, as this feedback is coming from a guy who can't keep under 10 minutes haha...) More so i feel it needs build-up and tear-down moments, which i showcased in my 14 minute epic a few rounds ago. Still loving the sounds, good job!

Arcana - Sure it needs a bit of finesse, but for me it's the best arcana track in a while. The melodies were super nice. Well done!

InvisibleObserver - The intro was a little...interesting, especially with the transition to the really nice second half. Overall though, great ideas, especially the really nice drums. Well done!

ethansight - The track doesn't begin until about 30 seconds in...then ends at around 50 seconds in. The whole track is 1 minute. 20 seconds of awesomness. Just....why.....i need more, i need 3 minutes. It's too short for a track this good. Awesome work!
