Great stuff from Chris & Christian. The textures here were very cool.

Like a lot of Christian's work, this is definitely progressive rock to at it's finest. Hemo's orchestral work is nice here, balanced well with the aggressive geetar wankerage near the end. Probably one of the more experimental tracks on SoS, but one that I think turned out rather well overall. Good show from both Chris'.

This was... huh... I......... really don't have a lot of words for this...

Hemo's work gave this mix good life, while Chris's gave this thing some great guitar work...

I'm sorry... but this mix has really left me lost for words.

It's like Djpretzel said: "an odd-but-charismatic arrangement"

What is an extremely cool, haunting track in it's heart is marred for me by some problems in the writing (review in the feedback thread here.) Fortunately it doesn't ruin the fun completely, but it does keep the piece from becoming a true favourite of mine.

This would be about three pretty good tracks on it's own, though the transitions and connections between the three are a bit tenuous. The guitar playing is fantastic, and the subtle details like the low string glissando's and the driving harpsichord make it a good track to listen to while contemplating where to hold your next poetry reading.

First of all, I think this track has the coolest title on the whole project.

The sub bass at 1:48 is one of my favorite moments.

Very coherent and the transitions work extremely well for such an eclectic genre.

I love the guitar tone, but the tremolo picking at 2:33 and especially 2:36 kinda irks me.

Anyways, congratulations on a great, stylish and emotionally charged track.

At first I had mixed feelings about this mix, but after a couple more listens to decide what my true feelings were I like it quite a bit.

I love the opening and think is transitions to the guitar part at just the right time. The section from 2:25 to 2:40 doesn't do much for me, but that's really a matter of personal taste.

All around though, this is an enjoyable mix to listen to :)

Nice work guys!

I'm torn over this one. There are parts I really enjoy, there are parts I enjoy seperately, and then there are parts I'm not sure about.

The intro is wonderful, and I think it fits Mint's theme perfectly. I would have loved to hear the entire song like that. The transition to the prog section was tenuous, I felt like scratching my head and wondering how it managed to get there.

The prog rock section in itself was pretty good, with fantastic guitar work. Some spots didn't mesh well, as the judges mentioned (some string sections weren't quite meshing right). The section from 2:20 was pretty cool, I found that to be the best moment in that section.

I'm glad people are willing to take a chance combining genres that we wouldn't expect. It didn't work overall for me, but there were moments I really enjoyed seperately.

The weird chords they needed to fit in probably made some transitions difficult. So considering, those sound fantastic.
I love the part around 1:30 going into the prog rock section. Pretzels right, does sound like law in order, more power to them for that lol. Nice kind of fade out-ish ending. What is that "wwwaaaaaah" sound in the background?
