I have no reason - merely an impression. This is pure gutfeel at work.

I liked the minimalism and the satisfying chord progressions in this one DDRKirby. Good job this week.

RSK: Definitely the most fitting of the theme, and just really well done as a standalone piece as well. Very nice

NickC: If this were a hotsprings theme, it would be a futuristic and possibly alien hotsprings, with all kinds of weirdness going on. I dig it.

DDRKirby(ISQ): This sounds like it would be a really fitting village theme music from an RPG

1) "Hot Water beneath the Blizzard" - No one does the "hot meets cold" atmosphere better. Seriously, what an immersive experience and a desolate soundscape.

2) "Sticks in the breeze" - I love it. It's straightforward, but everything it does works out so well. I love the instruments; the marimba just pops out with all the other layers surrounding it. I definitely wish there were more to this, but overall, it was enjoyable.

3) "Hidden Mist Village" - I really like the opening chords and the percussion is really polished. I really feel the mist from this. Towards the end, it sort of felt like the piece was trying to go somewhere, but the composition itself was lost. It's kind of interesting that the moment this happens, there's something interesting going on that keeps the music engaging, like the shifting intensity of the bass.

Dex: very hopeful and chill entry. The choirs go quite well with the snowy theme.

NickC: great atmosphere and great mood.

DDRKirby(ISQ): while a bit long, this was a fine entry. The combination of ethnic drums and rhodes piano were great.
