| 6-1.mid | 6-2.mid | x 5/27/08 Theme: "theme is DIGGING" Key: G Major TIme Signature: 2/4 Time: 1hr | x "why is one only 20 seconds" "i think that 2 fits the theme better" "1 is too happy and towny" "and that change in the middle is just way too drastic" "2 has a more industrial mining sound" Scythe "1 is not digging music at all" "2 sounds a little more digging like" OneiWilly "6-1 is titled plagarism" "6-2 i am not a fan of frumps" "no new frumps" "NO NEW FRUMPS" "also i liked 6-1 better" "even if plagarismo from detroit pc game" "for the pc entertainment console 1992" |
| 7-2.mid | 7-1.mid | Krypt 5/28/08 Theme: "krypt" Key: E Major Time Signature: 4/4 Time: 1hr | x "i like 2 more, but it's kinda islandly and too serene for krypt" "1 has more of a gruff dwarf/viking feel to me" "see i don't think length matters all that much" "the song should represent the theme more than it should be long" Krypt "man i like 7-1 better in terms of kryptness" "but it's so damn short. giving it to 7-2" "actually, no i like 7-1 too much to give it a loss" "but i warn you 7-1" "don't make me introduce a 30 second minimum time length" Sal "btw, krypt, 7-1 is minor. mostly." |
| 8-1.mid | 8-2.mid | x 5/29/08 Theme: "a fight to the death between x and willy" Key: C Time Signature: 2/2 Time: 1hr 30mins | x "i like 8-2 without that false start" "everything after the beginning" "when it abruptly stops" "that's good" "8-1 isn't bad but it's not up beat enough" "it'd be more fitting for the music BEFORE the fight "i think i have to give it to 8-1" "that stutter in the beginning of 8-2 hurts it a lot" OneiWilly "oh i'm sorry i thought there were only supposed to be 2 songs" "why is 8-2 4 different songs" " 8-1 wins" "also because it has big slave ship drums, the kind i would bring to a war" |
| 9-1.mid | 9-2.mid | Urganite 5/30/08 Theme: Toiling away" Key: D minor Time Signature: 2/4 Time: 1hr 30mins | Urganite "1 misses the theme by successfully being a dirge" "2 is probably a better match of the theme, though the second/third movement is more triumphant toward the end" "1 the only toiling is in a graveyard" "used the orgam voice too much" "both of them could use more polish though, like 2 the volume levels are too different" "well 2 definately gets to the point a lot faster than 1, 1 wastes a lot of time at the beginning trying to drag out" "2 seems to tell a story better, but it's not about toiling, it's more like the story of rather dashing in peasant's quest" " yeah I'm voting for 2 though both missed the theme, toiling is an unemotional thing, it's tough to pull off without being boring or too dramatic and ending up being something different" "the most emotion you can put into a toiling theme is humor" "because everyone likes to have fun at work" "I liked both honestly" Scythe "I like the 2nd part of 1, but overall I think I like 2" Chalma "#1 is good, but it seems to have seperate segments" "#2 is good too but not for the theme" "#2 I picutre like a storyline feed while listening to #2, like 'you're village just got demolished, go kill shit and avenge'" "it gets to that part though, where it's like a totally different song" "not leading into it" "maybe get rid of the whistle in #1" "I agree with urg though" "it's like 'let's waste time in the graveyard'" "yeah I guess #2" "just based on theme though" "don't like throw away #1, it's good but just not for the theme" |
| 10-1.mid | 10-2.mid | Krypt 5/30/08 Theme: The End of Mandkind Key: D Time Signature: 2/4 Time: 1hr 30mins | x "what's with all the happy chiming in 2" "making it sound like something you'd play along with a mobile" "i think the simplicity of 1 wins it" "they're both pretty drawn out though" "like just the same feeling the whole time nothing real interesting" "just waiting for the song to hurry up and end" |
| 11-2.mid | 11-1.mid | Krypt 5/31/08 Theme: Mysterious Magical World Key: E Minor Time Signature: 4/8 Time: 1hr 30mins | Scythe "I like 11-1 better overall" "2 just seems dreary in a way" "Yeah, definitely my vote goes for 1" "It seems to fit the theme better" Krypt "11-2 has so much potential" "yeah 11-1 is better overall" "giving it to 11-1" "but still, 11-2 is so intriguing" "I SUGGEST 11-2 finish this song outside the competition" Chalma "I like the latter half of #1, it fits it perfectly" "#2 I don't like that bell" "#2 will fit something" "I just really like the #1 for mysterious magic theme" Zero "The bell on #2 is annoying" "too high pitched" "11-1 I like" |
| 12-1.mid | 12-2.mid | Krypt 6/1/08 Theme: Tin Soldier Key: G Major Time Signature: 4/4 Time: 1hr 30mins | Scythe "I have made my decision." "I think you both failed at the theme terribly." "However, if I were to choose one, it would be 1." "As it slightly seems more "tin soldierish" than 2." Krypt "for me they both sound equally tin soldierish (not very)" " but i'm tossing to 12-2" Chalma "I like #1 for the theme" "bel is a tiny bit annoying" "or whatever that was" |
| 13-2.mid | 13-1.mid | Krypt 6/1/08 Theme: Wild West Adjectives: Raw, gritty, hot. Key: F Major Time Signature: 4/4 Time: 1hr | Krypt "both of them are not raw, gritty, or hot" "barely wild west!" "13-1 gets my vote" "13-1 is just plain good" "nice job 13-1" "i'm actually giving it one last listen, FOR MY ENJOYMENT" |
