There were clear problems staying in-theme this week, so I ended up voting for the best thematic tunes, rather than any other quality.

This tests the musical flexibility of the participants, I think.

Because who can't admire some great desert-themed chip tunes and great rock music?

AND YOU TELL TRUMP THAT ASSHOLE YOU TELL HIM

1) "Waiting in the qanat for my fever to break." - I think of all the entries, this one probably manages to capture the theme the best, both instrumentally and musically. That humming voice really sets this tone of spirituality. There were some instruments that made it sound extraterrestrial, which I didn't exactly connect with the theme that much, but I'm guessing ties in more with the "hallucination" bit you described.

2) "Al-Haramburger" - Love this one musically the most, super catchy and the development here is a solid groove, especially those last 33 seconds. Overall, it felt a little too removed from the theme in my opinion.

3) "Message From The Sky" - There's some nice ideas here suitable for the theme (love that intro), and I actually think the guitar works well at times. The percussion is too loud though; the snares needed to be softer. Despite the unintentional silence near the end, I think it works fine.

I also enjoyed "OHC 387 Echo Chamber" and "Flow".

mcmiag: Best entry ever. Too real, man, too real.

Patashu: I don't know why, but I really liked this entry. It's quite videogamey, and I quite enjoyed the arrangement and the sounds.

NickC: As usual, interesting sounds. A bit loud, though! I think slightly less crunchiness would've benefited this entry.

 

awesum: mcmiagblackmanisgod, NickC, Patashu, Shitbird.
good: Arcana, dusthillguy, Koekepan, Random-storykeeper.
