Listened and voted. There were some awesome tunes this week.
Rexy
I'm going to be honest, when I first listened to this I wasn't really enjoying it, but I think that's because it was quite a different take than what I had on the two sources. There's some great source combination here, and the DusK solo was nice as well. I did feel however, that the instrumentation was rather odd, especially the flute-ish lead. I'm not sure how much if at all that hurt the piece, but that was one of the points I consistently notice. All in all it was a good track, and one I'm happy to go against.

Man, I really wish I'd had a little extra time to listen to this in my car or on something other than headphones/speakers, because then I probably would've noticed some issues here with parts being too loud. The other glaring issue here is the length, but after listening to it for days I had some serious writer's block. I threw in the piano and the ending FX to add some length, but I would've really liked to add another section. However, I do like a lot of the groovy sections (the piano part for one and the solo at the end for another), and if I do go down this round, I'm glad to have made this as the one to go out on.
Main Finger
Some good drums in here, and I like the way you incorporated both themes. However, the first bit with the lead from Chem Plant (like :35-:37) seemed to trail on too long. It sounds like the Hill Top intro, but it seems to break the rhythm for me. Good transitions between themes; sometimes I forgot whether i was listening to chem plant or hill top. NICE WARK.
Phonetic Hero
I think this might be my favorite my round. I'm liking the hard sounds that get in your face, and then die away to the piano. The Hill Top theme does sound a bit out of place sometimes. The vocals sound very familiar; are they sampled from
Good track, and congrats on your one year music anniversary. Amphibious
Damn son, you got some pretty good guitar skillz. I enjoyed the how you used the two themes under the same background layers in the beginning. It seemed unusually fast for three minutes, but that must be because I enjoyed it so much.

lolwut. Seriously though, props to you on a genre combo I never would've thought of. The lead around 1:22 sounded a little high on the frequency side for me, but everything else was excellent. I especially enjoyed the lead hook in the beginning.
Superior X
Some nice grooves here, the trumpet solo was pretty sweet too. It seemed a little laid back and groovy, which seems to be your style. This is a well done mix, but it would be interesting to see you go in a completely different direction this time. No real complaints from me however, as this is a solid mix that I enjoyed.
