GLL provided another good interpretation, although I found his rather classical sound choices slightly misplaced, somehow.
Shitbird did a good job, but the somewhat upbeat tone detracted from the peacefulness of the images to me.

2) "Em pleh" - This is one of the more pleasantly crafted entries that is also the most thematic. I think most of that can be attributed to the bass and the descending notes. But the delays are very lovely, and the simplicity works well. I just wish it had a better buildup at the beginning.
3) "goodbye mother" - The chiptune melody works great against those chords. And those strange vocals are unsettling, but manage to be mixed well and make this entry more interesting and weird than annoying and weird. Additionally, there are some moments where the vocals don't come in, and it's actually nice to listen to.

I considered voting for "Forbidden Planet", "Watching the satellites fly by until the sun rises", "Transmission Latency" and "Funk Orbit". GLL's orchestral sounds were beautiful but a little on the soft side and a little underwhelming overall. Koekepan did a good job building upon ideas (and having good instrumentation), but felt like it did not need to be 11 minutes.
Lastly, I highly enjoyed "Big Earl Thumpin' (WIP) BONUS DONT VOTE" and there's something about "Island Earth" that's really cute and amusing.

Koekepan: a very good entry that feels very spacey, if only a bit unfocused at times. Delighting sounds!
Takeshi64: some pretty tunes that I think fit the theme.
awesum: dusthillguy, Jayme_Christmas, Koekepan, Shitbird, Takeshi64.
good: Arcana, GLL, Hollow, jarski, NickC, Patashu, ProjektZero, Shael_Riley, starla, Suzumebachi.
