I liked Misael's ethereal-feeling song.

Mehhh loses out a bit for an abrupt ending, especially because it seems counter to the theme.

NickC does a very creditable job, and the sound design is goog, but there's something slightly grating about the lead. Different filtering, maybe?

MisaelK's tour de force stands alone. Thematic, beautiful, no substantial complaints to make.

Mehhh: this has the right amount of pads and magic that I particularly enjoy. Good job!

Koekepan: a standard Koekepan entry, imo. While it is a long song, it doesn't feel boring at all, there's enough movement to make it interesting.

NickC: pretty tunes! some good melodic lines at times. Mixing could do with some work, namely the main arp is too loud after so many repetitions, it should go into the background when other instruments appear.

awesum: Koekepan, Mehhh, NickC.
good: Arcana, Patashu.

1) "Everything is Magical" - This drew me in the most emotionally. A very pleasant, warm track that is reflective yet has a bit of a "wonder-filled" element to it. I love those little "rippling" embellishments - makes me think of water, particularly a little stream. Though I think it could have been cut down in length - a few parts seemed a bit lost, and I'm not sure if that's the feeling you wanted to capture.

2) "Moods of Water" - While the instrumentation is very solid, I just feel like it wasn't evoking the intended mood for me. Like it needed more momentum to capture that feeling of moving water.

3) "diphenhydramine fantasy" - This is arranged well, but something about the chord progression and harmonies don't seem to mesh well and convey the suggested atmosphere of the theme.
