• Really creepy! he he. No, for real, this is a style I like a lot, but I like it softer than in broken.xm, and Jcl’s tune adapts to it (broken.xm is still great).

• i don’t know what could i say about this tune, it just one of those tunes you WANT to hear (unlike most tunes you only hear full when you are voting for a compo and you NEED to listen to them whatever… it rocks IMO

• wayfinder realy kicks ass this time .. i loved his tune .. it is by far the best tune this time i think … ahh ..mh… i have listened too it 15 times i think .. and it’s still great too listen too… good workin way.
• This is a music you can listen to, and it sounded cool. I always vote for the best tunes that I can listen to and do not look at the track skills.

• simply put, this one showed the most tracking skill. couldnt hear the mmx filters (no mmx) but it didnt seem to make much of a difference..
• I love AlexG’s style. This tune has nice production, good sample usage, and intresting melodys. Its the only tune that I heard later while my Box was turned off.
• This tune has lots of different and nice melodies. Chords are good and the melody fits in to the chords. Drums are maybe a little poor, but the overall is quite good. Worth of first place.

• Very professional sound, good harmonies and leads, less cheesy than Imogen :), really good beats. A nice tune.
• “Watermelon” gets my first place vote. (“Broken Glass” runs a close second place). The progressions here aren’t that innovative, but everything is VERY well mixed (effective accompaniment/layering) and the whole tune fits together nicely. Smooth transitions, some nice melodic variation, and a very catchy beat keep the tune interesting throughout.
• i realy liked the tune water the technich was very good ..nice chord progrssion and stuff.. i realy liked triman by wayfinder and imogen but water was the one i liked the most out of the pack.

• The intro is very distorded, it sounded like nothing but thrash. But then the real track started. It turned to be very relaxed trance/acid house with an impressing use of the dripping percussion sample. The beats were right, the track never bored. The use of the voices were innovative…this track was simply the best.
• I love the atmosphere this song creates. It’s like it takes you to semwhere else. This song it just damn good.
• Nicely constructed…long yet not too repetitious. The tune itself was great. The most enjoyable tune in the compo! Groovy

• Is this really a tune?

file: nmgc20.xm

• it sucked bigtime…..
• um. right. what was this….no song apparent..no style….atari teenage riot does better music than this
• “In Orbit” gets my last place vote. (I would have given it to GC20FINA.IT, but that really should be dq’d.) I can appreciate a tune with little or no melodic tension as long as it has a solid, infectious beat. But there’s nothing solid here. Just when “In Orbit” seems like it’s going into high tension, the whole thing changes. The beats here should be developed much, MUCH further and emphasized, since the melodies are weak; the tune is better off without them.
• It was leading up to something I’m sure…
