That sounds like a fun way to participate, though I need to secure some better recording gear. Hopefully soon. --Eino

Oh cool, Atari ST. Pretty nice tune in the intro.. the bass in the beginning of the title piece sounds a bit awkward, but the following part sounds really good. Sounds like the composition is the same or at least similar in the .--Eino

There's some very good stuff on the album! I of course enjoy the epic rap trilogy - the varied backing is great, really a lot of respect for keeping it so varied and alive throughout. Excellent verses, I was laughing out loud at the Snake especially. Not to scoff on any of the other tracks, but I also especially enjoyed Train Yourself - tight rock/bigbeat groove; S-Tier - a mini-epic, I especially liked the middle portions; Chillin' with the Bros. - it's chill but the harmony is tense, the agressometer doesn't go near red in this track, so it's somewhat understated, but that just adds to the excellentness; Judge, Jury and Executioner has tons of 80s/chiptune goodness.. I appreciate how in the solo section, the backing adjusts when the solo changes mode/scale/theorystuff yeah - sounded good to me; Gathering Clouds of Heaven - superb sound design and very deliberately paced, feels like one huge build up.. definitely getting 90s vibes from this. That's over half of the material on the album that I immediately enjoy a lot, that's a pretty good hit rate so good work all! --Eino

I have voted! It wasn't easy, and I enjoyed everyone's tracks. It'll be interesting to see how the vote turns out. --Eino

I really like how the music box sounds. I've never done orchestral stuff, and I know nothing about the merits of different orchestra VSTs, but I would guess you can probably get a lot more realistic sound through better sequencing - so don't shell out that cash just yet.. I hope you get some feedback with actual relevant experience behind it. You could try to PM ReMixers who do orchestral stuff for tips! --Eino

*insert obligatory "I should join DoD some time and this looks like a great month to do it" -post* --Eino

Lulu avatar! --Eino

I probably don't have a chance to work on my arrangement more, so I'm uploading what I have. --Eino

Yay, Aquaria! Sounding good so far. --Eino

I've started mine. --Eino

Great news! Looking forward to hearing it! --Eino

Good luck! Nice to see this getting back to speed. --Eino

..that's me 15 years ago.. how did you.. what.. !?! Trying to make up for lost time! --Eino

I had a late-at-night idea yesterday - the track themes might well work for a versus-style competition, which in turn could serve as a way for generating or just gauging interest for the album, as well as material. Just a random thought! --Eino

whos that xprtnoob anyway Happy birthday & lots of cake to you! --Eino

Urgh! Rexy, that is both super cool and quite terrifying! Why? Pressure to make the track better of course! I'm usually content to post whatever I have into competitions (it's much better to do that even if you're not satisfied with the track yourself, in my opinion), but if you're going to play it to the public.. that does raise the bar significantly! Not saying that you shouldn't do it, quite the contrary, that's pretty awesome! --Eino

Both sources are pretty cool. I have some nice ideas for both. Can't say I had the time to work out anything, but congrats on picking inspiring sources! --Eino

I really liked your tracks, I hope I can check out the improvements soon! --Eino

Yup, yup, still interested. --Eino

I was inspired to check some of the Genesis OST, and that was great stuff. The game even looks great to me.. Really too bad it apparently doesn't play too well. I sure hope they fix that in the sequel! :-D --Eino

Hmmmh, I thought gifting the Steam codes from them Bundles was frowned upon by the companies, I thought I checked that last time I was thinking giving the keys away, but it looks like the Humble Bundle FAQ says this is possible and perhaps even means it's ok. I don't really use Steam, so I guess I have a bunch of keys to give away..

I don't mind if you post here to tell you've grabbed one, to save other people's time & letting me know too. It's also not a bad idea to limit yourself to one pick so others can partake too. --Eino

That's a sweet track. I hope OneUp picks a track soon too, since he picks some sweet sources as well. --Eino

Wow! The arrangement is a naturally flowing, calm/thoughtful instrumental jam. Good instrumentation & sweet guest solo spots. I really liked the sound of the live drums, the playing is kind of loose but I think it works really well here. The only thing I don't like is the way the bass drum punches through the mix, it seems very detracting and takes attention away from the rest of it (I like the otherwise "recorded in a garage" sound of the drums), and also feels physically uncomfortable to me. Rest of it was absolutely great! --Eino

Ah. Since the FFCC finals probably go from Jan 26th to Feb 2nd, I'd like to be in the Robotnik bracket if that's all right! --Eino

Here are my five picks: 1. Bridge Zone (Sonic 1 MS/GG) 2. Sky Base Zone (Sonic 1 MS/GG) 3. Jungle Zone (Sonic 1 MS/GG) 4. Labyrinth Zone (Sonic 1 MS/GG) 5. Scrap Brain Zone (Sonic 1 MS/GG) I am well focused. Labyrinth Zone is completely different in MS/GG version compared to the MD/Genesis version.. SBZ is somewhat different, though at least pretty much the same tune. Green Hill Zone is the same as in the original version, as good as the tune is I didn't feel like picking it because of that. --Eino
