TVG: Delightful synth work (as always). Enjoyed the lively break beat, its like branding your signature on the thing.

Wassup T: Very sweet and effulgent, a full-hearted tribute to the source's mood. Really loved the fanfare of the final movement, completes the story nicely.

Souperion: The instrumentation and atmosphere is breathtaking. There's a great deal of variation, perhaps hinging on a little too much for MnP, but I'm not gonna get caught up on it. Absolutely lovely approach to Silicon Forest, and the brief touches of Rozenkrantz were sweet.


TheVideoGamer: I always love hearing a tender song getting some sick beats behind it! great vision and execution for that personality changing approach, very well done!

I'm only really voting for Souperion :/

Oh well....


Souperion - Really nice string and Pizz work here, great work transcribing it for orchestral. Lovely drums, feels kind of tribal, loving the flow here. The pan flute melody works wonders, transcribes very lovely here. The only thing i would do to enhance it, is add a bass line of some sorts, and maybe finesse the drums so they're better mixed into the track. The choir is lovely, but kind of non-existent. But the melody ideas here are lovely, my personal highlight. I don't identify any of the Rosenkrantz source, even though you've used parts of it in the composition. Maybe my ears aren't that well tuned lol (Ok i did hear a little bit in the end, but that was after re-listening). But in all seriousness though, you did a lovely job on this, the piano and the pan flute melody really stuck out to me, well done!


Wassup Thunder - Really nice mallets in this one, the original source is quite emotional, so this one really brings out the peaceful, uplifting vibes of the whole thing. I will say i love your expansions here, you really have added a lot of really nice titbits to make it more vibrant, especially since in the original source, we have a repeating ostinato, and since this is only a 1 minute piece as such, expanding it can feel a little repetitive (Kind of like mine, but i was working with limited time and connectivity issues lol). Personally this one needs a bit more mix finessing, a lot of stuff feels dry to me, and the strings and piano is a little bit too centre forward, leaving little room for the other sounds to breath, however though i loved your melody additions, and the idea was super lovely, i enjoyed this a lot, well done!
