Voting tallies:

Rocketsniper: 15
Smenelian: 13
DDRkirby: 9
Bundeslang: 8

Voatse:1st - DDRKirby(ISQ)
2nd - RocketSniper
3rd - Smenelian

DDRKirby(ISQ) - I like the intro, sampling is really good, but the intro is too long. Then, when it's over, you are doing very wel in the middle. There's no end, which is the only thing what's a bit dissapointing. Nice job.
RocketSniper - Messy beginning, but not bad. I like the way you've placed these samples together. I like the switch at 1:00 but this part is all the same. I don't like the 'whatever' what's coming in at 1:40. The 'silence' at 2:08 is too long and it takes too long to bring the song back alive. I like the way you've ended the song.
Smenelian - This song starts really nice, but there's not much variation. The whole song is a bit the same, except for the end.

Bundeslang - ...............


1st place:
Smnelian
-------------------------------
It's a full song, it's got some originality, though a bit bland through most of the middle section.

2nd place:
DDRKirbyISQ
----------------------------------
Sounds kickass, but it's only two minutes long.

3rd place:
Bundeslang
--------------------------------
I think my head was actually in danger of exploding this time.


Number 1:
Rocketsniper - Kirbyscocklolfinal
Sweet. Intro is great, I like the bandpass filter. Synths and drums are awesome, as usual. Nice work on the speech synth, as well. GOOD JORB

Number 2:
Smenelian - Kirby's Block Boss
This is great. Drums are nice, I like that shaker. Arrangement is good. Yeah.

Number 3:
DDRKirby(ISQ) - FLMC8Try3
Omfg I love that supersaw. I wish you'd been able to finish this, but oh well.


1st: Rocketsniper
Fairly decent arrangement as far as I'm concerned. Interesting cameos from other games in there as well. Very solid entry, which I found enjoyable.

2nd: Smelnian;
It feels so empty for some reason. You might want something to fill out the lower frequencies to make it sound more complete.

3rd: Bundeslang
Man, that is some crazy dissonance you have going for most of the piece. It's like.... Ouch. It doesn't resolve or seem to have any purpose as a dissonant line. I'm sure it's a stylistic choice, but ergh... Not feeling it at all.


Uno: DDRKirbyISQ – Try3

This threw me off at first because I couldn’t figure out what it had to do with KBB, but then I realized it probably didn’t have anything to do with it. Pretty generic stuff, but catchy, especially the beginning. Minus points for not having a real ending.

Dos: RocketSniper – Kirby’s Cock (lol?)

This would have gotten the top spot if it weren’t for some bits that rubbed me a bit too much the wrong way. That “Kirbeeeeeeee” voice is one of those things. Some of the fast paced drum stuff you did with the voice was cool though. Another thing I wasn’t a big fan of was the amount of changing around the song does. I like variety, but there was just too much here. A lot of the individual sections were cool and I think you should have expanded on a couple and taken the rest out. The breakdown around 1:55 and the part between 2:10-2:50 were my favorites.

Tres: Bundeslang – Not in Dreamland

The bass and beat grew old pretty fast. I wasn’t a big fan of the synth choices either. The source tune was probably the most annoying song in the game (in my opinion), so you had your work cut out for you from the start. I can’t say I would have done a better job myself, so props for attempting.
