Sorry about the delay with the comments, I've been away, and then very busy with MC6 voting! Plus running GC20. They may be a little late now and again, but they'll always go up!

Disqualifications

(As a rule now, disqualifications will no longer see their score or position or comments. - Except Last Places.)

There were no disqualifications. 3 People did not submit vote forms, some of these have emailed me explaining why. I acknowledge Zip.Com.Au has had problems in the last week with 2 of their 3 connections going down thus making it hard for some people to get the votepack.

However please note that you will have 2 weeks to vote in GC20 so there should be no excuses for no vote forms. Also because there are no co-ops in GC20 you must vote if you enter, well.. if you wish to win something anyway.


Comments

Comments On First Place:

file: autotrns.it

  • Good groove. Nice use of the organs and the only good "techno" entry. Good melodies etc.
  • This song had a nice chord progression, and was one of the nicer techno songs. Although I swear the main chorus part sounds like Sharon Apple's song from Macross Plus w/o the vocals :)

file: mzd-cent.it

  • Good melodies and good use of samples. Variational and interesting.

file: mr_cocel.it

  • Great work MicRippon did on this piece of music. It starts with a good Stereo panorama wich gives the melody space to launch. The part I like most ist the break with the flanged Cord structure. Reminds me a bit on BitArts, an Amiga-musician.

  • p-v! is god!...ppl should worship him and bulid tampls and castls for him...i now know that my goal in life is to worship and dedcide my life to p-v! such a telnt ..,such a vison...in every place in the bible where there is the word god.....it should be changed to p-v! i never thought some 1 can make such a good tune (like p-v! did..) but now i know some 1 can........and its P-V!......(dont think that this is writen by p-v! insted of kraiden....that would be totaly wrong to think) (;!

file: senn.it

  • I liked the song :) The piano, the rythm, everything was beautiful :) This is kinda calm song, you can listen to for many hours.
  • Although ybrubb.it was good, senn.it was simply better by far because of many reasons. Besides the great feel and rhythm to it, it also portrayed many different feelings. In one song many different emotions were played out... And from a tracking perspective... The bass and percussion were not as "typical" as many songs.
  • This song had a very soothing melody, in addition to its slick bassline. The first pattern, with the "ST-01: Shamus" synth, creates a nice introduction to the rest of the song (although I thought the intro might of been better if the hihats and the strings came in perhaps 2 patterns later after having the first pattern- repeat twice?- with just the "shamus" instrument soloed). What clinched this song for 1st, IMO, was the keychange in order 14.

  • hunz shows why he is one of the best trackers around. i realy liked the song , and it realy has a nice mood around it. it was a lot of good entries this time , so it was hard to pick one out as the winner .. but hunz's song is very well made , and i realy liked it.
  • Energetic and very pleasant, smd!.xm has my respects!
  • well.....i choose hunz first cauz i think he realy stood out.....his tune was dark kwel grovy! ..i dont think that the melody was very good...but the atmosphere was the realy main atrction here! also the drumz ruled!
  • I feel that smd!.xm was the best, most versitile use of the samplepack, and showed the most versitility overall. Hunz did a very good job writing this tune...so...I give it first place. 
  • This was hard to choose between smd!.xm, and spacebar.xm as first place. spacebar.xm only missed out because of some weak chord, lead flows. But overall smd!.xm was the stronger produced tune giving a 'polished' sound. Good panning combined with clever orchestration put this ahead of the competition.

file: spacebar.xm

  • Well this time we had many unfinished/short tunes. I choosed (spacebar.xm) as the top tune for gc19. For me it was one of the most complete and coherent tune in the pack, and its top aspects are: the 'realistic' play with the rezsweep, the good and somewhat original drum track, the solid bassline, and the fact that it suited perfectly my mood. ;) The weak point would be that the tune is a bit monotonous (same chords, bassline during the whole tune)
  • This song was very very nice, with it's solid bassline. Excellent idea to use the "lazar" instrument in a percussive fashion! The only problem is that I thought it became somewhat dull after a while...

file: ybrubb.it

  • There was quite a hard competition between first and second place, but Yannis won.
  • I ranked ybrubb.it as first, simply because it was the only tune to stick in my head. Some tunes were technically better and they had a lot more work done to them, but good tracking isn't always an intellectual exercise. Yannis' tune basically had that energy which was lacking in the rest. A lot of Yannis cliche, but who cares. Not necessarily the best track, but my favourite.

file: spasm.it

  • well, the way this tune gets into your mind and you can't rip it off is incredible. I've found myself singing it sometimes while walking or riding my motorbike. I think it just rules, and not only is good for groovycompo, but it is one of the best tunes i've ever heard (tracked, ofcoz). One more werd to you, zep ;)

Comments On Last Place:

file: kr-time.xm

  • hmm .. it was realy not much crappy songs this time. but iff i should but one on last place , this must be it . i diden't like it as much as i liked the others.

file: pv(cow).it

  • PV, where´s your fintune? And why this experimental solo? Kinda dissonant to my ears :( But you sure had much work on it...
  • I'm sorry but a tune sticks out like a sore thumb if the samples are not tuned. There may have been worse tracked tunes, but this one left my ears hurting. Concentrate on tuning the samples next time, and you'll find you'll improve in score dramatically!

file: summer.xm

  • <NONE>

file: glue.xm

  • I've heard music from Djzip before. But this time he was in a bit of a hurry, hehe. This wasn't the best from him.

file: funkadlq.it

  • I greatly disliked the dissonance and repetition in funkadlq.it
  • Hmm, not really a `bad' tune this time but (Funkadlq.it) is really a pain to hear because I, as a listener, had the feeling that it was the result of a certain amount of work wasted by a really weak tuning of the samples.
  • It wasn't all that bad really, but you there unfortunately the only lamer to track in the pack. I think it's about time we had a new logo for the competition.

file: ge-deco.it

  • Sadly enough, this song actually started quite well till the non-stop, insane, rez filter sliding part came up :) Not only did it sound extremely odd, it was annoying since it seemed quite random.
