DZComposer - Welcome back. I like the sampling, it sounds very complete, there's a nice balance in the song with good variation.
Evktalo - It's short, but there are some good ideas. I hope you passed that exam.
Hoboka - Even though you mentioned it is a small effort song, there's quite a lot variation in this song. The vocals are interupting the song too much.
Yami - The song sounds like a long intro, I like that. Your style really paid off.

Freddy Dances (Horror Electro Mix) - Yami - I really liked this. This was the kind of sound I was hoping to see come of this. Very creative, love the organ. The overall sound is very clean. Good job.


Freddy's Mallet Fingers - DZComposer - Good ideas here, I like the idea to use a percussion ensemble. Musically it sounds fine. Not as pleasant to the ear as Yami's IMO but still very nice considering the source was rather difficult to work with. Good job.


Milky Street - evktalo - I am a big fan of chiptune, old c64 music, cracktro music, keygen music, etc so I was happy to hear this. Unfortunately it is only 30 seconds and the arrangement is rather generic but considering the time you had to spend (I have been in this situation a couple times before so I understand trust me lol) not bad overall.

1. Freddy Dances - Admittedly, I'm not a huge fan of electronic styles, but I kind of like this one. It was certainly original, though it did take me a while to recognize the source. There is also clearly a level of effort here that goes above the others.

2. Shitmare on Elm Shit - While Hoboka did offer to throw the competition to me if no one else entered, I felt the piece had some merit. It wasn't all that bad, and the humor made it worth listening to.

3. Milky Street - This felt incomplete and repetitive to me. That said, not bad for something thrown together in less than an hour.

I enjoyed Freddy Dances a lot. Very chill and moody and in a style I like. I thought the source was less obvious than in the others, though I didn't look at it deeply. I guess it's also rather static/repetitive, but I didn't really mind.

Freddy's Mallet Fingers was very enjoyable, I liked the percussion ensemble approach a ton. Some very cool sounds! My two main criticisms was that the section with loud tuned percussion seemed to jump out as loud and maybe a bit mechanical, and (the former might contribute) the flow of the piece seemed blocky. That said, impressive work and in a style not often heard in PRC (DrumJ8's recent Chrono Cross track comes to mind). It'd be very cool to hear this developed further!

I also enjoyed Shitemare On Elm Shit. That's a fun sentence to type!
