Coolgreenapple stole the show with his Bowie-esque guitar and song.

Misael.K went for the big epic, and delivered beautifully.

Random-storykeeper was less ambitious, but wonderfully stylish.

i love everything about out in space -- it definitely doesn't sound like a 1-hr compo song. the vocals, mixing, acoustic guitar, and solo(s(?)) are Good
i like mine a lot this time and i think 2nd is where it falls so i'm voting so -- im rly proud of how mature the song's structure is compared to what i normally do
Misael K's piece is so ambient and gets you in a mood, and I really like it

Good song! It's really intricate and energetic, and very detailed. I sense that hard work went into it. It's fun to listen to.

koboldskeep
This is very short and very simple. Nice bend at 0:16.
Listen to me. You need to get a Raspberry Pi and install RISC OS, and learn BBC BASIC.

ethansight - Cocket Man
Wow, nice sounds! This is really high-end stuff. Fantastic. Excellent production quality. Great leads! Shit! FUCK, nice stuff. You could tell me that this is from an xbox360 game or something, and I would probably believe it. Excellent composition.

skandix - cramers rule
Nice atmosphere at the beginning! Nice drums in the mid-part. The part at 1:36 is cool

coolgreenapple
Really nice chords. Good singnig. I don't recognise your accent, it sounds like a mixture of american and english. Nice squarewave lead, interesting mixture of fuck it... shit... FUCK - I mean, shit... I mean, FUCK - shit... I mean, acoustic and chip. Good lead guitar at the end! Fantastic solo. FUCK. Extremely well made considering it was all done in about an hour.

Arcana
Nice atmosphere. big penis... penis... really dark and foreboding. Fits the theme very well. Excellent sounds. Fantastic.

coral
hahahahaha, the PENIS launch sequence, I love it! Great song too, I love the sounds and the atmosphere. Really listenable and enjoyable song. hahaha, nice ending. This song fits the theme well. I like your style, you have a good mix of serious music and humor/fun.

luau
Really cool atmosphere - extremely good. I like this.

rseonp
In my opinion, this takes a bit too long to get going. But it's cool when it does. I like the aggressive/dark sounding bit around 0:50. The volume levels vary a bit too much, at one point it's super loud, and another it's very quiet - I had to adjust the volume while listening. No offense is meant by anything I just said.

daisu64
I like this a lot. It's really nostalgic sounding. Really pleasant.

MisaelK
This is very long. It certainly fits the theme. It's interesting. Most of the time I can't understand a single word of what the vocoder is saying, although I understood the part at the very end of the song.. Anyway, this is pretty well done. In my opinion, though, it's a bit too long for OHC. No offense is meant by this.

patashu
Nice work. It sounds like you probably used famitracker. Cool stuff. Wow, that part at 0:50, that's really nice.

johnfn
fucking nice, good sounds! Good work - really good. Excellent. I'm enjoying this song. I think it fits the theme pretty well too. hah, this part at around 1:40 is cool.

random_storykeeper
Good. Nice simple but well made tune. I like it. Good sounds. Nice atmosphere.

GreyHooves
Haha, these chords are familiar. I think a similar chord sequence has been used in a fair bit of late 1980s/early 90s house music, but I don't know really, I don't know anything about house music really. Nice song anyway.

Much more of an ambient compo this time round

dusthillguy That sound seems like a perfect rendition of my favorite patch on the old family keyboard we had for 10 years and it brought me waay back. Called "New Age". You should hit me up lol

Johnfn: This one was very well done, it definitely deserves this spot

Ethansight: I love it. If only it was longer, I probably would have been my first place pick

Daisu64: I really liked the panned call and response thing you got going on here

Something about the strings and arrangement made me keep coming back to ethansight's "Rocket Man". It made space feel really epic.

Arcana's "Digitless Visitors" sucked me into the space atmosphere and just let me chill there.

Johnfn's "into the unknown" sped up the pace, and his spacing and details always feel so clean.

Daisu's melodies are always great and really pull me along. And coolgreenapples... lyrics and recording

1) "Digitless Visitors" - I love the atmosphere, beeps and boops. It feels so alien and space-esque. I love the craziness of it all.

2) "spacemongers" - I love the elements of chipiness, vocal samples and strings coming together. Plus those delayed chords that set the stage at the beginning... <3

3) "out in space" - Cool vocals. I like the chip solo and the casual tone.
