1.Kat: I love how your remix progress smoothly from melancholy to a more severe tone. The instruments arrive without ever noticing them and merge perfectly together! You sure put lots of work there, well done :)

2.Trism: I really like your choice of instruments, like a clockwork (as I already told you). Good job!

3.Hoboka: you really worked hard on the piano, the result is gorgeous! The choir add a lovely eerie atmosphere too :)

Honorable mention to Chalis who did also a great remix! It was really tough to put you out of the top :(

Hoboka: Like the choir!
Kat: Gotta love the orchestral sound.
Trism: I like those pads a lot.
Cookie: Like the feel of this.

Kat - the mood is retained 100% and the orchestral adaptation is probably how most good composers would approach it. So props to you, old chap ;) you got #1 in me book, yarrr matie there be no suckage here, but winnage only.

Trism - nice clockwork adaptation. This IS pretty close to not fitting the MnP, MO, but the mood and pacing is all there, so it's all good in the hood. Nice work Trism! It does get a tad stagnant at the last minute, but man the chord pads and winter-y feel is teh sexy.

Chalis - Not too bad, some of the instrumentation is super dry and too much in the 'fore, such as the guitar and acoustic guitar and the harp. I liked the choirs and the strings.

messire_cookie - As Brandon said, the E-guitar is pretty MIDI, but hey that's okay that makes two of us. I do feel that the mood has been shifted too far from the source tune's own mood, however, which was the biggest detractor. I like the use of the pitch bending on the e-guitar, that was pretty cool. The soundscape is also pretty good.

messire_Cookie - A nice slow atmosphere with this; the lead guitar reminds me of the soundtrack to seedy cop movie haha. Initially I thought there was too much reverb but it meshed nicely with the soundscape.

Chalis - I like the concept of having an orchestral version of this, but for me everything sounds a bit too mechanical. The choir particularly sticks out as being rather stiff. Also everything seems be mostly in the mid and higher frequencies; having something in the low end would make the soundscape much more complete.

hoboka - I love that the choirs are slowly introduced and the humanisation of the piano is very very nice. Good work all round!

Kat - Another slow builder. The horns add some nice texture, however at times they tend to drown out a lot of the other instruments. The outro was very nice.
