Kirby because...duh. Smooth Move really captured a cool feeling and made me feel like I was sneaking around a heavily guarded area. Starla's compo reminded me of like... Love is a Battlefield or something. Good job!

I have Starla's song stuck in my head still, I was really impressed with the vibe of koekepan's piece and johnfn has a great voice and he recorded all of that in an hour, that's amazing!!

1 - MisaelK's theme:
I love the combination of the guitar and the synth, it feels a bit like dire straits - walk of life. The tone colour is just great. The melody is the driving force which always is a plus in my book but the pacing is a bit too consistant. The instruments/synths are often switched up which removes a bit of the pain from the song having the same pace all the time. The melodies fast movements is nice. The choire stays all the way through the song but the song might have benefited from it being off for some time in the song.

2 - All I Want or Need:
The lowresolution noise(i think that is what it is) works very well to stick the song together because of the constant changes the song is going through. I just love the distorted tone that comes in and plays. Most of the sounds are consistantly eary, highpitched and at least a bit distorted which is nice and it makes the piano sound sticks out nice. I would want a bit more melody tough.

3 - Dreams Of Freedom:
This song uses the guitar in the best way possible. Alone, and building up from it. Then the hints of synths in the beginning makes the synths feel a bit less like you being hit with a truck(but they are still very unexpected). The beat covers only the lowest frequencies which is a bit boring but it serves more like a backdrop then anything else. The way the synths build up to higher frequencies are really cool as well.

Others:

Its been a long time my dear:
The beat is nicely swingy and the guitar is good but it could be a bit less of the "scratching"(idk what i should call it). The bass works nicely together with the beat to creat a bit of a short rest before looping back.
