Also, a good ending to the piece, a good progression inside it. Solid all around.

coloradoweeks this sounds like you took some professional pop song and covered it, it sounded really good.
DDRKirby your instrument and sound choice is so great. Love it
ashka I really enjoyed the ambience overall, it had good development while being very subtle and peaceful.

Ok so it turns out there wasn't much for me to reply to, if anything nothing to reply to at all, most of the comments were the normal "nice sounds" kind of words. So thanks anyways! I've also been super busy, so this is last minute voting, i apologise.
TheVideoGamer - This track is kind of like my others, in that it has a nice beat, a nice chord progression and melody, and flows through various sections freely. The track is both simple and complex. I also tried to make it sound like Christmas, since this is what we are currently in at the moment, and you know how much i love Christmas. Drum break is from a Norman Cook sample pack, the melodies are kept to mostly quarter or 8th notes to keep it's child like sound, and the chords were designed to be a bit wintery and cold in parts. There isn't really much else to say, i just kept it mostly to a minimal kind of vibe, whilst still providing enough of value so it isn't just too boring as such. I think this one was a success, but anyways, glad you like it!
obScene - Early entry les goo. This is some wonderful reverbed piano, playing some pretty child like horror chords. I was expecting a bit more of a chill out vibe, but no you went full on dark and cinematic on me. This is a lovely flute like melody, it's got a small South East Asian influence to the sound. Although not what i would associate with the theme, it was very pretty stuff, lots of amazing melodies, awesome work!
BJKMenu - Thick guitar and cool drums here. It sounds very bluesy inspired, kind of different for the theme. Lots of trap influence in the drums towards the 2nd half. It's kind of a cool blend. The drums keep changing almost every second, as does the guitar melody, even if in the same key and scale. It's a pretty cool piece, nothing bad to say, well done!
Koekepan - Airy sounds, definately the Koekepan signature. Surprised to see a 3:49 piece, and not a 6 minute one, but i guess sometimes we have our days. Loving the creeping pad sounds, that slowly creep in. This is quite the chill one, lots of emotional parts, definately makes you want to go to sleep. Love how it changes to, it isn't just a simple melody looped over and over, it has some cool layering, lots of expressiveness in the sounds. Mild sine wave distortion in this one, but ultimately i can forgive it, as it's a minor one. Still though, this was just lovely, awesome work!
DarkShadow - Great opening fill! Drums are very hard hitting, in fact they're so hard it completely clips the whole track lol. I know you make loud music, but the drums are soo overblown it makes it sound like just one giant rumble. Sorry dude, not necessarily my cup of tea, but good work though!
DDRKirby(ISQ) - Ooh this one is a bit of a long one from you (It's been a while). Those chords were definately unexpected, and i am all for them! Love me some cool major shifts like that! DnB work was super tight, amazing drums, and the different sections were also extremely fire! Loving those arps, everything is still clean, even with this much work! So many lovely sections, very polished, so good i picked it for the 3rd spot, amazing work!
Ashka - My favourite returns! At this point people will be convinced it's bias, but it's not, you really just impress me every time! Those synth sounds are just....insane. HOW THE HELL ARE YOU JUST SOO GOOD! I swear i could never do something this good. Your note choices are just on point i swear. The reverb is soo lush, the way you've sustained those notes, the vibrato. The way it's all strummed like a guitar, whilst still sounding soo clean. Not to mention it's super theme accurate as well! Beyond incredible dude, i hope you return soon! I missed this! You bet your ass i'm picking you first. Excellent work!
A2Z - Damn i need to know how you make your tracks, because damn these are some seriously pretty chords! Sometimes your music is like Ashka's, in that it's just soo incredible, in the way you pick your chords and melodies. This is just lovely stuff, that i couldn't even do. I love the semi psychedelic feel in this one. It's got this spacey trippy feel, that i just love. The vocal appearances are also wonderful. I don't know how to describe it, but i just love it. So amazing i picked it for the 2nd spot, Incredible work!
Lunarice - Don't apologise lol, you do a much better job than me, let me tell you lol. These chords are quite warm, quite uplifting. Has a bit of a child like feel to the sound. The mock kalimba was also very cute and fun. The background percussion is also pretty great, adds a lovely texture to the whole thing. I feel like towards the 2nd half, you could build it up and make it into a bit more of a climatic piece, maybe add a pad sound or some chords. But i will say even with that in mind this is a lovely start, lots more to like than dislike. Well done!
Misael.K - Jazzy chords! Love it when you got for the add9's and other amazing oddities. The swung beats are back! This has a lovely melody, and a really nice sustain on the whole thing, so it's thick and lush. The melody is more of a background element here, compared to the piano, which is in your face, but it's a bit of minor one. Damn this was just lovely, lots of really stiff competition here. Amazing stuff, awesome work!
Coloradoweeks - Piano week this week? This is some thick grungy sounds, digging those drums, they definately sound more live. Loving this progression, semi-jazzy in a way. Vocals are upfront and intimate, in comparison to the rest, but this is a good thing, it really adds a bit of a variety to the song. Incredible singing, this was just....amazing. Man you guys are really upping your game this week, i don't have much bad things to say here! Amazing stuff, awesome work!
Arcana - Cold chords, cool telephone effect on your vocals. It makes us feel like were in space. The "drop" if you will was cool, the vocals go back into reality. This one has a pretty great arrangement, the drums were kind of satisfying (Although a bit....clicky). Maybe the drums might have benefitted from a bit of a tone down volume wise. Still though, the track is pretty great actually! Keep at it, lots of lovely potential! Good job!
Top 3 - Ashka, A2Z, DDRKirby(ISQ).
