Growth is great, very diverse, emotionally diverse
Piano is a bit muffled, pad and several other instruments need to be refined, average mastering

Nice growth, repetitve in length
Technically nice, above average mastering

5. (Tie) Neodrummer and Mrmilkcarton- 56
http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen /188913
Nice growth, mildly repetitive
Occasional clipping, below average mastering
While this track shows promise, it doesn't have a good flow.
http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen /183872
Very repetitive, decent growth, weak emotional drive
Technically pleasing, above average mastering
This track was lacking. It just sounded like it could have been better, as if it was rushed.
7. SKKP- 49
http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen /184648
Very repetitive, decent growth, dissonance is stange and confusing
Kick needs work, above average mastering
While this would be classified as a trance/techno hybrid, it had a hell of a funky beat to it.
8. (Tie) MICHhimself and DJ Derrick- 44
http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen /187132
Semi-repetitve, emotionally diverse,
Beginning is hard on the ears, average mastering
While the beat was good in places, it had really weak leads.
http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen /188312
Some note and chord progressions around 2 min are audible harsh,
Very, very, very, very repetitive, too much content, work on refining synths
Emotionally diverse, many synths need effects help, average mastering
Well put togther piece.
10. m00z- 38
http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen /189356
Very reptitive, lack of growth, no emotional drive
Bad EQing, below average mastering
The leads seemed to overpower everything here.
11. Jewelz123- 33
http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen /189302
Bad growth, meaningless dissonance
Repetitive, below par mastering
The drums are weak in places. And it sounds as if the track needs proper leveling, due to
the fact that some of the effects are too low in places.
