DrumJ8 - Funny mix. I like that sweet synth.
Sggod89 - There are some good ideas in it, the guitars are good. Abrupt ending.
Evktalo - Song has some good variation, altough I didn't like the drums (they stay the same and dominate the song a little).

Hullu kuningas by evktalo: I actually listened to this on a loop for about an hour as I was doing some other stuff haha. It�s a very pleasant track. The production quality is quite nice, you have made some great improvement. I really like the tremolo on the guitar, very tasteful! It also hides the fact that it�s a sampled guitar pretty nicely, I think only trained ears could really tell.

Nomad by DrumJ8: I really liked the simplicity of the track in the beginning and the drum groove that came in. I think it got a little too busy in the latter part of the song. It�s a short and sweet remix though.

evktalo - those arpeggios are kinda fun! I cant think of any feedback for this one. maybe the little glitchy guitar bits are a bit loud in some spots?

ssgod89 - i really like that gated pad thing in the background. it adds a nice trancy feel to the guitars. you could do well to make it a bit more audible . the chip breakdown threw me off a bit. otherwise i like the direction you took.

Drumj8- the sound design feels very dry, it doesnt feel very full. i dont really know how to explain that though. might have something to do with stereo imaging , but i could be wrong.

evktalo - Nice arrangement. I can barely hear the bass drum.

sggod89 - Production is awesome as always. The sudden cutoff was weird :/ I like the rock mixed with electronic :D

I'm glad that other tracks appeared! And I'm very glad sggod89 picked the UFO source :)

sggod89's track shows how the Geoscape 2 theme can work very well in a heavier guitar context. The pads from the original provide atmosphere, and the bass line sounds very driving with the guitar. Very promising start, I'd love to hear it finished. The use of Ristar source was a good addition as well, I thought it worked well.

Nomad reharmonised the Ristar source, and as always with DrumJ8's arrangements, provided very fresh view into the original.
