Good effort by most who entered, and a few who didn’t for getting votes in on time. I’m particularly sad by Harmonix who firstly didnt’ send one entry in because of a mail stuff up, unfortunately tho the entry time had run out. 2 weeks is fair enough time to get an entry in on time. The reason I’m sad is that the tune which couldn’t be included was quite good. So I’ve included it here for you to download and listen to. Secondly it’s a shame that two people still didn’t get their votes in on time, even after a general reminder to entrants.

Special tune which didn’t make it into Vote Pack: (x)glory.zip – 200k

Comments On First Place:

  • This piece has good melodies, which are well balanced with the other parts in the piece. I seemed to spend a lot of time listening to this song, especialy pattern 38 which created one of the best endings I’ve heard of late. I then started to listen to the unused patterns, some of which were damned good, in particular pattern 39. Zephyr continues to display style, character, quality and above all a high musical talent in all of his pieces.
  • Alot really good patterns used and not used in this song. A little repetitive with the repeating sinewave arpeggio and chords. Nice leads and drums tho. Great job taking advantage of MMX filtering.
  • Excellent well-orchestrated piece with a nice laid back melody that wasn’t over-poppy. Has a background-music appeal to it that I have a hard time describing. Very smooth with bits of atmospheric elements to enhance the melodies. It did not appear disjointed to me, despite Zephyr’s claims otherwise. :) It would be nice if Zephyr re-released this song after bring out the ending a bit more, though, considering the fade-off of an excellent ending/idea that could easily be expand ed upon.
  • mad leads, a good ambientish chip tune. smeggc29.it was very close, but even though it has a very orb-ish sound, some parts of it didn’t fit in the song. overall, the whole pack is pretty good, although some of the songs are a bit too techno for me :)
  • Indeed, the best of the tunes: a great melody – bringing back the memories from the good old days, premium overall quality; the only thing annoyed was the “bell”, a bit lower volume would have been better, maybe

  • very repetitive, the usual argh and lemm tune :)

  • Nice tune. I’m pushed for time so thats it.
  • This guy must be a super groover. The second great song in a row. Mega mix of instruments leaves you wishing a greater file size were allowed. A masterpiece of Impulse Tracker. Only thing missing is a bass guitar.

  • this was the only tune with any real kind of atmosphere. it had the best feeling, the most origional ideas (origional drums, very wierd otherstuff), and was the most origional. most impressive really

  • This was the first tune I listened to. My ears didn’t hurt at this point so I voted it first. Nothing Impressive in this round.
