I joined so voting time!
TheVideoGamer - A fun borderline tropical house like tune, that sure loves to repeat itself. It's got syncopated synths, a nice bassline, and even some cool phazed pads and a 303, all topped off with a nice latin style rhythm. It's different and cool, and i really like it.

DarkShadow - Sick beats, we got a electro vibe going on, but with the classic DarkShadow hardness. The snares are insanely crispy, and the beat is so unstable. You say it's repetitive, but i don't really hear it. The only thing that bothers me, is the snare is way too loud compared to the rest, it kind of hurts. But i dig the vibe overall, it's super interesting! Good job!
DDRKirby(ISQ) - When i joined the party, i forgot there was a reference here, until i saw the title lol. Makes perfect sense considering the title, but i dig it. The remix is fire, the DnB parts are so wonderfully done, and the arrangement is quality. The vocals are not in the way too, you took the original and really made it fit in the style. The mix is awesome too, there's nothing else to really say, it's just such a well done track. It was so good, i placed it 2nd. Incredible work!
Ethansight - Man this is such a cool chord progression, it's that classic Ethansight sound, but with a bit of mystery going on. I love how it keeps on building up and up, we bring some breaks, a nice bassline, all whilst keeping it interesting. Your melodies are just so good, this is super catchy. It makes me wish it was longer, but the track is still amazing. It was so good i placed it third. Amazing work!
Arcana - I initially thought the vocals were a bit out of tune with the harpsichord, but the more i listen, the more i really like it like that. It adds suspense. The bass work is great too, not too in the way, but not too quiet to where it has no prescence. It's just an unsettling piece, that honestly, i feel like giving you this. It's just such a nice dark piece, well done!
Cryef22 - At first it sounded beautiful, as most of your entries do, the chords were pretty, and the synths were really sine-wavey which is my weakness. But then it really changes into something super familiar. It sounds like one of your old entries, i think from 30 rounds ago, the synths are virtually identical, but the arrangement is different, and you've added aditional melodies. This is why it's not only great, but theme accurate, since you've got me thinking about your old entries lol. The track is absolutely beautiful, the melodies are just amazing. In fact it was so beautiful, it decided to place you on the top spot, i loved it. Incredible work!
Top 3 - Cryef22, DDRKirby(ISQ), Ethansight.
Awesome - DarkShadow, DDRKirby(ISQ), Ethansight, Arcana, Cryef22.
Needs Work - I didn't feel like singling out DarkShadow, so all of you are awesome this week. Well done everyone!

I'm Sure I've Heard This Before I'm Sure I've Heard This Before

DarkShadow: it was actually hard to hear that the patterns were reversed. There was something almost palindronic about this one somehow as a result.
DDRKirby: okay yeah this is a banger, with the eurobeat and the clean mix and everything
ethansight: melodic, really nice feedback delay adding texture to things. I liked that backing distant sine chirp in the back adding a trace of whimsy to it all.
TVG: I am actually glad that you played the song twice. The story additions were a good way to emphasize it. It's kind of funny that I remember the feelings around the story a lot than the song itself, but sound does funny things that way. The song itself is actually not bad, though nothing too amazing, but I kind of felt that was the point.
cryref: this was pretty, good with starting sparse, filling in the space slowly, and adding meaning and depth as you went.

DDRKirby- this remix ended up turning out really well! I thought the vocals fit perfectly into the mix, the instrument choices are really nice and DDRKirby-like, and the overall composition feels cohesive.
ethansight- I love the bird-like synth, it really gives your entry a mysterious feel. I can definitely picture coming across that spiral staircase
TheVideoGamer- This one's fun... I like that fu Fu Fu fu Fu Fu fu Fu sound (I don't know what's called). It's definitely repetitive. I like it
Darkshadow- Those rhythms are interesting, it feels like a multi-step procedure
Arcana- Behind that harpsichord or harpsichord-synth (I can't tell), there are those subtle undertones which really gives off this ambience. The lyrics are nicely written. This also fits the theme well. It does need some work though, I do think the volume of the singing could have been modified a bit.
cryref- I was pretty squeezed in time making this... next time I need to be more efficient. I looked at the theme and thought about Siltwash(OHC849). My entry there seemed to fit this theme a little, so I remembered one day where I came up to similar-looking windows and thought to myself "siltwash reference" :>. I decided to subtly introduce the Siltwash themes one by one, so that the listener goes "oh wait I think I heard this before", and also make the piece more gentle and nostalgic. I also borrowed themes from Starflow, which I made a while ago outside of OHC, which is how I got the name.
