TheoConfidor - Very nice orchestral start. I like the built-up to the rock-part which is awesome. The song variates very good, great work. Good end too.
AlexSmith - I like the recording. Very nice way to add both sources in the song, great variation between the sources (which ARE different from each other for sure). The song is short, but it's a great recording.

Larry versus Duke - It's a fun idea, and I love that you recorded live horns. However, the arrangement is a bit sparse and very short. At least I am happy to have competition.

This is Too Easy - well I have to say it doesn't sound like it was "too easy" I have a feeling you are being "too modest"? Nevertheless this was an epic arrangement which I really enjoyed. I really appreciate that you used real instruments instead of just samples. The mix was very well done and as I said before the arrangement was epic, you could have made three remixes from this track. If I have any criticism it would be that the arrangement goes slightly too long (yes I know it's prog rock) and could have done with some editing. Overall, it was a very slick sounding track with some great live performances.

Larry versus Duke - I liked how you used real trombone in this one, most people would have gone for some cheesy, synth sounding samples. However, I do have a few comments. First of all, I think that the two separate songs could have been blended together more seamlessly. Your track sounds like two separate tracks rather than a complete arrangement. The recording quality could have been better. I can hear the metronome clicking in the background and there are several audible pops and clicks on the track. Overall this was a good attempt but perhaps you could keep those few things in mind for your next arrangement.
