Munchi - Nice bass, but it takes long before the song starts. There isn't much variation in sampling. The ending starts too fast (25 secs before end, last 10 sec. silence)
Chickenwarlord - The song misses variation, the wholse song is boring. But, my ears are still here, it's not so bad.
Binweasel - Interesting start, but after a while the samples become boring. I like the middle part, it's well mixed. The samples are the same during the whole song.
Rexy - I like the samples you used at the start, I don't like the drumline, it's a little dominating. The middle section is nice. The last minute isn't, because it's the same as before. Good end.

Rexy: There is one really big issue with your piece! It's June!! Come on! How did you mess that up!?!?! Ok, seriously, if for no other reason, just the smile this song brings to probably everyone's face is enough to get you first place.

Chicken: I'm noticing a pattern here. You submit an entry and then I say, "I think the compositional elements and overall feel of the song are spot on, and then I say if you used slightly better samples and a little more time mastering this would be first place hands down." Well, I don't want to mess with tradition so read what's in the quotes again.

Binweasel: I happen to be a low brass player at heart and I'm telling you that I would love to play your song. You get third not so much because of issues with your song. It's just in comparison with the other two, I have to vote you third. But honestly, it's a real solid piece (especially for a rush job!)

Rexy is first, munchi is second, and Binweasel is third. But really, all three were great.

Once again, Rexy shows us a very well done piece. The synth that comes in at about :50 is my one gripe, as it sounds pretty generic and not entirely jiving with the entire texture.

Munchi's Brass hits were a bit distracting from the rest of the arrangement. :31 stood out in particular as jarring.

Binweasel: Your song sound the most cluttered. Especially that powerful drum line. Really takes out the bass. The brass aren't as bad as last time.

1. Just plain pretty all around; not much else I can say about it.

2. Much like the previous one, quite pretty and some very nice stuff around the first half. 2:02 especially made me grin. Unfortunately it kinda falls flat around my favourite bits, where the sax kicks in, in the original.

3. I very much enjoyed the sort of burbly wosscalled, like western/cowboy sort of thing going on, and the slightly slower pace than the others. The lack of drums rather helped, I think. But again, just barely 30 seconds of the part of the song I actually liked...
