I've decided to vote this time because I really liked some entries here, also I've never voted before soo...

1st - For me Yoshiblade nailed the theme too well... Suspiciously well...
Really nostalgic stuff here, acoustic stuff always gets me.

2nd - Really pretty piano progression. Reminds me of Kostia for some
reason, and the instrumentation on the second half also
reminds me of Jonathan Elias. Really pretty and calm, I love it.

3rd - More piano! Also a very pretty progression, nice and calm. The
drums and synths on the second half are very hypnotic like C418.
Really digged the little melody at the end too.

awsme: Forty-Two, Yoshiblade, johnfn, Misael.K

good: NickC, dusthillguy, Koekepan, Patashu

Such a great round. It took me well over an hour to pick a winner.

A little disappointed at the lack of cross-rhythms, but that's just my take on it. Come on, people, fight the tyranny of square rhythms!

aptbr: lots of magic here. The soundscape is lovely, and I really like the flow of this entry.

dusthillguy: I like how this is the perfect balance between happy and melancholic.

All the entries were really awesome this week!

1) "Jarski is genuinely a really nice guy" - Screw it I'm putting this first. It's the most memorable piece for me out of the bunch, being such a pleasant, chill jam even if it's short.

2) "summer is over" - Great use of sound effects and acoustics. It kind of reminds me of an end-of-camping trip swim at the lake.

3) "water" - I feel like this really captures some really good melancholy emotions, like distant summer memories.

Honestly this only scraped the surface of some other entries I wanted to vote for, particularly:

- "Evening Under the Palms"
- "OHC 372 Peach Resort"
- "Was Summer So Long Ago"

all which really came close to taking third in my votes.
