Sorry guys. Didn't mean to be this busy!

I'll do the reviews and the judge sooner or later.   8)
Ask if you want me to compose your game.

One thing that I would like to see happen with films is for music not to be treated as just one more ingredient, but as an integral and fundamental part, due to its fatal capacity to affect the mood of the movie.

OK. Finally here I am, "examining" your songs carefully. I must apology if I am too rude. I am very demanding about music besides just my own taste and this is my very first time doing this.  ;)



Le Woltaire's Eternal Ocean:

Very nice, but somehow it left me cold or... what's the word for it... undistinguished. Maybe it's because of static samples, the sounds aren't mixing good enough (unpolished?) or perhaps it's just overlong. I give it 6/10



Phemar's umm.. "breaking up song":

Because of your sadness, I'll give you special treat for your comfort and I enchanced your midi file by ranning it thru 2 different GeneralMidi banks of my synths but don't get too excited as I didn't affect to song in any way except different samples. Please enjoy. I'll delete these files within a week.  ;)

Cool. I surprised to hear overdriven guitar between strings but maybe that's supposed to describe how this "macho" guy appears and "hijacks" your GF? And was that last note in the end of song just accident or supposed to be there? It sounds very much like last shouting of despair after GF is finally gone. The song is nice and fitted pretty well to the "images" but after all it left me a bit cold as well. I give you 7/10



Questionable's "Space Cinematica":

Well, I forgot that Pizzicato is plucked but it's totally OK... if you think not, then I'll say that the chords of pad sound in the beginning is acceptable as string type sound :D

Very interesting song... and of course the story as well. I loved the tension the tempo and specially those drums gave and great fades between sections. The moment of "attack" made me literally jump because I used headphones! ;D

You made pretty effective song, congraz! I give it 8/10



Kabukibear's Chasing fireflies:

LOL. I didn't expect to have so "exact" timing sync to the story as you gave ;D

One word says it all: Fabulous! I loved everything. The frolicsome arpeggios, pizzicatos, the moments of play and childlike amazements. Nostalgic, I dare to say! Just wonderful! The song gives me very warm feeling. Awesome climax here... just perfect. In the end I really could see the sky full of stars. I give you 9/10



The "Guest competitor's" "Super abimus":

The song is very nice. Lovely "unstable" violins and they sounds very familiar to me, what gear did you use? The song really gives me creeps! This song didn't left me cold (excluding my cold blood!) but it's just getting a bit repetive and I feel a bit cliché regarding to song. Very good job after all. I would give it 8/10 but because of missing images, I'll left 7,5/10  ;)

Why you think it would be unfair even with musical background? I doubt that. For example, I do not have any musical background at all and I am totally self-taught up to this day. But you see, even with musical background, you didn't win this contest!  :P



So finally I am pronouncing Kabukibear to be winner of the tune contest!!!

Congratulations!!!!
