Nothing wrong with funky EDM all the time #noshame And yeah I thought there was quite a bit of variety in this compo; from all the vocal tracks, Jason's choirs, Maverick Astley, some of the more experimental tracks people like timaeus22222222222 and Usa came up with. Good stuff!

I'm trying to restructure the album idea a bit, since I didn't make it in time for the 20th anniversary and I don't wanna wait for the 25th I'll make a post in the next few days with more details.

Loving it! I really like the piano sound and, of course, Pokémon nostalgia.

Dat groove. I'm digging this. Pan effects are a little annoying on headphones, but no biggie. I hear source interpreted, it's recognizable and arranged, nothing stands out as bad. The strings might not be a convincing performance, but that hasn't stop tracks from being accepted. It might be a little soft in terms of levels (headphones, new setup, difficult to compare), but if you're satisfied with the levels, it's better to leave them as is than to mess with the dynamics and introduce compression problems. It's easier for listeners to turn the volume up than to turn the compression down. I'd be surprised if it was rejected. Excellent work.

Strangely enough, I like using compos to experiment *out* of my comfort zone sometimes. My Round 2 and Round 7 tracks were styles I don't usually write with. My Round 4 entry was more "me" in that it had dubstep, but even that one was mainly similar to the "me" you last heard -once- in late 2013 (metal + glitch in Gunstar Heroes), not the "me" today. TBH, the music I'm most comfortable writing is probably funky EDM, but I don't want to do that *all* the time, so I branch out into variations on dubstep, glitch, and cinematic sometimes too.

I'm a sucker for slow piano pieces. And I'm an even bigger sucker for Route 26's theme. It's quite good so far.

I performed my remix of Space Invaders at a prog rock show where I live. Actually, for some reason this has some of my best electric violin playing ever (I think that's kind of weird actually). Here it is:
