Starla got the most dancey feel out of the whole thing, and a very polished result.

Shitbird definitely has a piece that hangs together well, and the sound design is appropriate to the theme as well.

TinyCastleGuy captured a party feel - and I'm not quite sure why, but it works for me.

1) "Some Colors Are Born Different" - Your pretty blend of different and gorgeous sounds works almost perfectly throughout. I can see the story unfolding as the music progresses. The only quip I have is really with the ending, which isn't bad, but a lot more anticlimactic than expected. I especially love the lead at 3:08.

2) "When the Drugs Destroy the Cortex" - I love this entry a lot, actually......there's a lot of interesting, indescribable things going in here. Strangely enough, despite its somewhat dark feel, there's this odd brightness and colour to it. Maybe because this music reminds me a lot of the music in Nitrome's Rainbogeddon, which is a colourful game in itself.

3) "Big Box of Condoms" - This is a little cheesy, but the sound design in this makes it really catchy and pleasant. Plus if you can make a song with a title like that sound good, it's definitely worth giving it a vote to. :P

A very close honourable mention to "Field of Oppurtunity" and "Dat Hue?". I love the happy, mellow vibes from Shael_Riley's entry - it sounded almost carnival-ish to me. Field of Oppurtunity had nice use of piano and running notes, but I wasn't completely sold on the instruments for those chord leads. It felt a little too medieval in some parts, if I may call it that.

Random-storykeeper: super sweet entry! Loved the different sections and the overall flow. Great job!

Shitbird: good mix, tight sounds. The talkbox-like lead is super good. This entry reminds me of The Flashbulb. It's maybe too short, though.

Koekepan: sonically impressive. Great atmosphere. A good entry, if only a bit lacking in momentum, so to speak.
 

awesum: Koekepan, Random-storykeeper, Shitbird.
good: Patashu, Shael_Riley, starla, TinyCastleGuy.

Misael.K, very nice job on those transitions and string/guitar instruments! Your track had a nice buildup and an even better payoff. Other than that, I enjoyed RSK's entry for how lighthearted and upbeat it sounded and starla's for having a good use of vocals. I also very much liked the atmosphere in Koekepan's entry, and Shitbird's bass sounded pretty great. There's also the insane amount of speed in Patashu's, which I may not love personally but it's something to admire.
