obScene really got it with a great wall of sound and an emotional, expansive, ambitious piece. RSK, I also liked the gradual but steady build up and the great sound textures. Koekepan got it down with a great hollow soundscape that was both eerie yet pleasant.

Everyone did nicely I enjoyed everything.

I had to choose by relevance in additional to musical qualities, because the round's entries were so good.

Arcana's was bubbly and fun, light and generally good, so it was a good pick for first.

Kaielsz brought more polish to the sound and structure, so it was also a solid second.

In the end, Random-Storykeeper brought a certain light-hearted delicacy that I found enchanting.

1) "Morph Phase" - Great chiptune. I love the continuum in this; I can see it fitting the theme. I like the long held notes. It had a light, but also a heavy atmosphere to it.

2) "Reflection" - It started okay, but got really good towards the end. The descending notes carry the feeling of "reflection" through. The bass in the later half is great.

3) "Charm of Souls" - Best mixed piece of yours I've heard so far. Maybe consider also trying different chord progressions that aren't 6415? :P The melody in this was pretty good and got interesting in some parts.
