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

Wow - that close? Thanks for the comments, I'll keep this piece in mind for the future.. I say that often about my PRC tracks, but I really mean it every time. It just takes me years to finish them. My PRC174 track did just get posted so it does happen eventually! --Eino

I've enjoyed the past four shows. Sonic CD show was massive and lots of fun, JiveBird and Rexy were just great, it was great to hear Matt's insights into project direction since he did a stellar job, and BrothaDom really impressed me, seemed like a humble guy, but proud of what he's doing. Always good to see the pretzel there of course! The two shows with the new staff gave a good bunch of insights into judging and stuff. I was interested in hearing about how much time it takes to give feedback - for me it takes a lot of dedicated time, since I often hear a lot of things but I feel I'm not that great in formulating it to words (English not being my first language might contribute) or analyzing it, especially music theory -wise. It sounded like some of you can sometimes churn out feedback at a ridiculous rate.. It was very good to "meet" the new faces! Chimpz and XPRTNovice have both seemed like absolutely great folks on the forums and it was cool to see and hear them in the Talkbacks! #14 had some great euro representation, WillRock was a lot of fun and I always like seeing non-staff ReMixers, and it was cool to see Hakštok. I just loved the "Uematsu... meh" perspective too! As much as I love Final Fantasy music myself. --Eino

Sounds good to me! --Eino

I'd probably pick from the first Master System Sonic, because that's what I've played the most. If I participate.. really should concentrate on finishing my studies. But I had the same concern with FFCC, and I've ended up in the finals.. argh.. the best music comes out when you definitely should be doing something else. --Eino

Ok, gotcha! Cool theme! --Eino

Yay! Yeah, Chernabogue did great throughout the whole compo and like I said, in a jazzy style I didn't expect! I thought the themes were really well integrated each round. I'm really surprised the voting for that round was as one-sided as it was. ..and I'm like WHAT?! made it to the FINALS!? What is this even. And up against Tuberz, that's pretty damn cool too. I'd like the deadline to be some time after the 13th, since I am swamped with studies up to and including that day. Apart from that, whether it's a week or a month I'm cool with anything. --Eino
