$:`. i'm too rushed to get this one out to write anything major :), .':$
$: $ i just want to note that there was a whole mess with my pop $ :$
$` $ host, so that is partially the reason why the results are so $ '$
: $ late. i had the sample pack ready a day ago, but i wanted to $ :
: $ release them together... also there wasn't an weual number of $ :
` $ votings on each song because the addo-on form, and because some $ '
$ voters could not run impulse tracker, and therefore didn't vote $
$ on .it's. i had to make plain average of the votes i had. hence $
$ the weird precision parts of the scores :). by the way, pasting $
$ comments for _23_ tunes was 'fun'. 5 hours or something. $
$ an important thing worth mentioning is - i didn't get a total $
$ of 7 (!) voteforms from contestants. that _might_ be my host's $
$ fault, so no one is d/q'd. but if you are a contestant, you $
$ _must_ vote!!! i hope that is clear to everybody. $

$ $ [. 1.] mr_fount.it Mick Rippon (16.7425)
$ $
$ $ * GREAT tune.
$ $ * Good song, no comment
$ $ * Hmm, nice rythm, nice beat. Nice piano melodies. Percussions
$ $ could be stronger. Quite repetetive tune, and a bit simple
$ $ but still sounds good. Reminds me of something.. Oh well.
$ $ * "drawbridge"??? =)
$ $ * Nice and subtle, good flange effect on drums. A bit repetitive.
$ $ * elevator music
$ $ * nice progression, little quiet though...
$ $ * I must say... very very well done :) You get soup. Just one
$ $ question.. is it called fountain or drawbridge?
$ $ * Loved the flange guitar. Shame it must've done outside a tracker..
$ $ (note from c.c.: you are allowed to do that.)
$ $ * kewl bass
$ $ * I canna hear you!! but nice melody.. nifty orchestration.
$ $ * very good tune, all around.
$ $
$ $ [. 2.] origin.xm Tito (16.2492)
$ $
$ $ * Better than average.
$ $ * The intro has a really cool texture, and the build up had the
$ $ best implementation in the pack. Better precussion samples
$ $ provided in the pack would have turned this into quite a
$ $ brilliant song. This was my favourite.
$ $ * Too bad there isn't much variation.
$ $ * Uh, nice chinese start, soft, mellow. With some 303's this
$ $ would have been a really nice softtrance tune. The pianomelody
$ $ doesn't fit in. Still, a pretty good tune.
$ $ * Great! I love this track!
$ $ * cool song, annoying trumpet
$ $ * good use of strings with xylophone... actually used choppy well,
$ $ but doesn't seem to go anywhere.
$ $ * this has to be one of my favorites this time around
$ $ * kewl.... nice chain link thingy :)
$ $ * too boring
$ $ * couldn't hear it...
$ $ * Boring and samey. Still the best entry, tho.
$ $ * Good everything...
$ $
$ $ [. 3.] tb-where.it Ballistique (16.0254)
$ $
$ $ * Nice and peaceful.. not quite sure about that minor to major
$ $ chord somewhere though.
$ $ * this song goes nowhere.
$ $ * 32 Channels? er. 51 ???
$ $ * Great tune. I _love_ the ideas, the prgression rules, and the
$ $ implementation of everything is brilliant! Grand feel to it!!!
$ $ * Dont you ever listen to yer song after you write it!? maybe its
$ $ just cp. yeah. (note from c.c.: all .it entris of cruelization
$ $ are to be played in _impulse tracker_ only! cubic player plays
$ $ .it's that have at least _some_ effects/nnas _totally_ wrong. if
$ $ you can't run impulse tracker, better not vote on .it's at all.)
$ $ * hmm... nice :).. I could use this to goto sleep =)
$ $ * excellent song, right speed and great progression, tugs at ya
$ $ heart...
$ $ * hmmmm
$ $ * Nice.. leads need just a little bit of work.. minus points for
$ $ unnecessary waste of channels.
$ $ * Wheee, before the beeping lead started I thought this was a
$ $ commercial rave tune. They usually have intros like in this
$ $ tune, heheh. Oh well, nice melodies and stuff in this one,
$ $ but something is missing..
$ $ * nice song.
$ $ * GREAT TUNE! (i don't know why the composer hates it so much...)
$ $ * Great, and I mean _great_ feel. Great sound. Nice texture
$ $ achieved with the melody instrument. I liked how the tune built
$ $ up towards the end. Memorable tranquility.
$ $
$ $ [. 4.] tf_mpa@.xm The Fear (15.5096)
$ $
$ $ * Good combination of samples, and tracked well. Problems only
$ $ seemed to occur when a lot was going on. Other than that, a well
$ $ done tune.
$ $ * One of the Better tunes in the pack :)
$ $ * Way cool man!
$ $ * Whee.. fun.. some parts sound like Boulderdash hehahah :)
$ $ * oh well.. keep at it...
$ $ * Funky.. ;)
$ $ * I hate house music again. (note from c.c.: house ??? :-/ )
$ $ * @:) eye am the gipsy dude
$ $ * good tune :)
$ $ * an awesome use of the instruments
$ $ * good intro! needs help when in main part... sounds way too 80's.
$ $
$ $ [. 5.] smeg_sas.it Smeg (15.0258)
$ $
$ $ * Smeg iz guuude.
$ $ * What the hell is a B-Nat doing in a g_minor chord? [order 1] Bad
$ $ musical management of polyphony spoils the intro. Poor tracking
$ $ ruined the potential that this peice had - it inhibited the
$ $ subtlety required to get the feel that this tune needed.
$ $ * Mono?
$ $ * A bunch of notes was my first thought. Well, it still is
$ $ but somehow I got a strange feeling listening to this.
$ $ Like beeing stuck inside a pyramid (1st part) and suddenly
$ $ Prodigy starts flashing at you with huge flashlights (2nd part).
$ $ Err, nevermind. I like some parts of the tune eventhough they
$ $ technically/musically sound bad. :)
$ $ * well out of key most of the time.
$ $ * weird, not so very good though.
$ $ * major or minor, pick one. sounds turkish...
$ $ * YOU KILLED MY COMPUTER!~ =).. kinda... uhh... long..
$ $ * 1 good song is better than 4? crap songs.
$ $ * <ZZzzz>... cheesy Purple Motion-like arpeggios
$ $ * If only you got rid of the noise..
$ $
$ $ [. 6.] yb1oompa.it Yannis Brown (14.6734)
$ $
$ $ * good song =)
$ $ * Very good for a quick tune. ;)
$ $ * hahha, Yannis you cheesy bastard. Actually, this isn't half bad..
$ $ Good theme, and great orchestration get this cheese out of the
$ $ mousetrap.
$ $ * Hahaha, this one is funny
$ $ * Kinda funny. Zorro fighting with Jeltsin comes to my mind. Short
$ $ but nice.
$ $ * Oom-pah-pah!! :)
$ $ * YES YES YES!!! THE ULTIMATE!
$ $ * oh my god, what a cool song, nice light, great melody, beat, it
$ $ has it all..
$ $ * Disappointing. I expect more from Yannis.
$ $ * too short.. duh!
$ $
$ $ [. 7.] ccm-loss.xm Mild (14.3950)
$ $
$ $ * Good Tune.
$ $ * Good ideas. Nice Sound. Good Orchestration. Need more
$ $ exaggeration to establish something to grip onto though.
$ $ * Not much variation on the background.
$ $ * Pretty nice tune, except a few patterns. Sounds unfinished.
$ $ * Nice, kinda WAVEy :) unfortunately gets a bit cluttered.
$ $ * Nice music, love it
$ $ * uh, I hope this is a corrupt tune, cuz the beginning was good,
$ $ but then went crap
$ $ * pretty good, liked the use of instruments
$ $ * This is THE SHIT =)
$ $ * Not good.
$ $ * Nice.. but VERY QUIET!!
$ $
$ $ [. 8.] vertigo.it DarkWolf (14.3871)
$ $
$ $ * This has the makings of an epic!
$ $ * Samples were outta tune.
$ $ * i curse you
$ $ * kewl dude :)
$ $ * way too choppy, was ok, sounded a lil outta tune in places..
$ $ * cooooooool!
$ $ * Hmm.. alright.. but cheesy, especially the guitar..
$ $ * Repetetive synthpop with no destination. Joy.
$ $ * Bad mixing made it hard to absorb yourself into the muisc. Nice
$ $ theme though. Good ideas, and nice impressionable atmosphere.
$ $ * The only tune I listened to more than once. :)
$ $
$ $ [. 9.] cgs-feel.it Cygnes (14.2562)
$ $
$ $ * Beginning was good, ending was.. ugh.
$ $ * A nice intro that was destroyed by a lack of imagination. The
$ $ second half polka was really good at some stages, with some good
$ $ use of chords. I wish the ideas were given their rightful
$ $ potential though.
$ $ * Pretty ok intro, but the trumpet melody sounds cheap,
$ $ kind of. The 2nd part of the tune is crap-children-cartoon-
$ $ toy-play-fun-torus-phong-sure-let's-have-some-more-fun,
$ $ hello Skaven, but shit.
$ $ * Nice tune, until order 7... sound is too dense, everything seems
$ $ to be struggling to be heard over everything else..
$ $ * lame
$ $ * cool beginning, alrighttowards the middle,and nothing for the end
$ $ * nice melody, good into.. pretty sweet :) the xylophones are kinda
$ $ not going along with the song. Pretty damn good though.
$ $ * its cold up north
$ $ * Not bad.
$ $ * Nice chord changes.. but use of Note offset on trumpet may have
$ $ helped somewhat in places.
$ $ * whats with the end?!
$ $
$ $ [.10.] mor_deaf.s3m Morph (13.7588)
$ $
$ $ * 1st 1/2 is great.. what happened?
$ $ * nice melody...
$ $ * 8 Becuase you're English.
$ $ * luv that hardcore acid
$ $ * dude... don't kid with us... this is really good =)
$ $ * good start, rest sounds like a broken jack-in-the-boxorigin.xm
$ $ * beginning is good, but goes bad about pattern 12...
$ $ * oh no! More beeps!
$ $ * Good intro.. why did it suddenly turn to crap?
$ $ * Kinda nice tune. Sounds like old moviemusic. Cute.
$ $ * Well tracked
$ $ * Some nice touches here and there, but development problems caused
$ $ this tune to get boring when it could have just as easily given
$ $ you an erection.
$ $ * eep.
$ $
$ $ [.11.] rlnever.it Lagioto (12.7777)
$ $
$ $ * Some clashes with overlpping, and the strings were wrecked with
$ $ those itch bends..
$ $ * out of tune.. sounds like something off a japanimation flick :P
$ $ * !offer! Lagiator pic... :)
$ $ * some nasty dissonances in there
$ $ * hmm...
$ $ * great intro! back to the 80's, lil outta tune in places
$ $ * good song, sounds like TV!
$ $ * Clashing chords and simple tune
$ $ * Hehehe, bass, chords, basedrum on the same line. Doesn't
$ $ sound good. The melody sucks, doesn't fit in. Has no feeling.
$ $ Everything sounds so simple. Qwaah.
$ $ * Well done Lagioto!
$ $ * The '2nd inversion' chord annoyed me a LOT, and the fact that it
$ $ never seemed to go away pissed me off even more. Order 24 gave me
$ $ enough strength to glue my hair back on my head.
$ $ * Good tune.
$ $
$ $ [.12.] f-machin.xm Black Fox (12.2805)
$ $
$ $ * pretty cool song actually, sample text was cool too :)
$ $ * too popish
$ $ * watch your vol!
$ $ * it rocks, really =P baha
$ $
$ $ [.13.] tb-ias.it Argh (12.2093)
$ $
$ $ * You shouldn't have used the trumpet.
$ $ * Nice beat... Irritating melody
$ $ * hmm... lots of effects... yeah :)
$ $ * great song, love it, great progression/melody
$ $ * piano! plink plink plink :-)
$ $ * not bad.. a bit boring.. sounds like it needs something more..
$ $ * Having fun with hihats, indeed. Some fairly good melodies
$ $ in this tune but needs more backup.. Some parts sound very
$ $ empty. Hmm, reminds me of very old amiga demomusic. Pretty ok.
$ $ * Good work with the character of the peice. Implementation of ideas
$ $ ranged from great to below average. Orchestration need one more
$ $ sample/idea to guide the listener through what the focus should
$ $ have been. Missing notes!
$ $ * Good tune.
$ $
$ $ [.14.] denizen.it Beek (11.6384)
$ $
$ $ * bad choice of orchestration for chords.. good melody.. ending was
$ $ too sudden, unresolved.
$ $ * too short
$ $ * Not ugly.
$ $ * hmm..... its nice.. but it doesn't really go anywhere..
$ $ * just odd, didn't really like it
$ $ * beep beep beep
$ $ * Short, and at times annoying... :(
$ $ * The samples sound worse than the original ones. What did
$ $ he do with them? Don't like this one. Melody is weak,
$ $ everything is weak. Argh, that "lead" hurts in my ear.
$ $ * Little short
$ $ * The intro and the proceeding melody were pretty dire, but the 2nd
$ $ half in a minor really took the problems of the intro and told
$ $ them where to stick it.
$ $ * 60's MUSIC!! :)
$ $
$ $ [.15.] mpfair2.it Airog & MPuffin (11.3333)
$ $
$ $ * Piano jars with itself often and is randomly tracked, no variety
$ $ * i hate country... YOU phear
$ $ * Try higher chords..
$ $ * Nice jumpy tune.
$ $
$ $ [.16.] jf!agh.xm JackFrost (10.2479)
$ $
$ $ * Same as hmusic.xm.. where's the foreground..
$ $ * Bleaurgh.
$ $ * hmm.
$ $ * some jagged edges, aiee
$ $ * stop the choppy...
$ $ * nice style!
$ $ * Sounds like a rush job.. and is out of tune at times..
$ $ * Is this supposed to be happy trance? Offkey. Sounds like Axl at
$ $ his best. :)
$ $ * Weird! But cool!
$ $ * Intro was really promising, but the atmosphere sat back and ate
$ $ a cheeseburger. More imagination required.
$ $ * Good, but needed more variance.
$ $
$ $ [.17.] sh-cr03.it Shaithis ( 9.8651)
$ $
$ $ * Each instrument seems to be doing its own thing and disagreeing
$ $ with all the others.. fine after patt 21 or so..
$ $ * great song, I love epic! nice use of the trump samp.. :)
$ $ * smeh
$ $ * Low Notes clash!! :(
$ $
$ $ [.18.] hmusic.xm Home Sweet Home ( 8.5992)
$ $
$ $ * Nice backing.. where's the foreground?
$ $ * I hate house music.
$ $ * nice, short and sweet =)
$ $ * too much repeating
$ $ * repetitive... annoying...
$ $ * back to the 80's
$ $ * nice job... but too short, and very easy to track...
$ $ * <G>
$ $ * Yeah oldstyle house!
$ $ * Normal intro started well, but instead of developing into
$ $ something interesting, just faded out with the into idea. Pretty
$ $ flat looking circle.
$ $ * Repetitive patterns SUCK.
$ $
$ $ [.19.] vanherm.s3m Giger-x & Hype ( 8.3845)
$ $
$ $ * segmented, piano needs work, what the hell kinda ending is that?
$ $ * great release, could be a lot better if made into an it and made
$ $ insts with fadeouts and such.
$ $ * its ok i suppose
$ $ * Low notes again :(
$ $
$ $ [.20.] fb-cr03.xm FireBeetle ( 6.6278)
$ $
$ $ * weak ending
$ $ * Pretty shit actually.
$ $ * This peice needs help.
$ $ * good use of lowstrings... get ridda the xylophone.. too much
$ $ piano... funky though :)
$ $ * Far too basic and simple.
$ $ * Where's the basedrum? Ahh this qrap.
$ $ * Try to improve your drums
$ $ * Good funndamental ideas, but terrible implementation turns this
$ $ tune around and makes it swim upstream, dragging its listeners
$ $ with it.
$ $ * more beeps
$ $ * Nice tune.
$ $
$ $ [.21.] bot.xm Inopia ( 5.5981)
$ $
$ $ * This was meant to be a song right???
$ $ * I don't care how bad the hamburgers are. I'd prefer them anyday
$ $ over this shit.
$ $ * Hey,you're getting better!
$ $ * Going for gold.
$ $ * go on a hunger strike or something...
$ $ * ick, bad use of trump... just sounds bad... outta tune a lil, and
$ $ too clinky
$ $ * sort of annoying
$ $ * Please help me?
$ $ * C-R-A-P on a stick
$ $ * horrific contents
$ $ * Isn't this a 'music' compo?
$ $ * Nice flanging... some nice parts.. but no expansion on them :(
$ $
$ $ [.22.] karkno.s3m CyberDemon ( 5.3572)
$ $
$ $ * yawn.. it's late..
$ $ * noise
$ $ * Switch to IT, you sad git.
$ $ * hahaha cyberdemon ;)
$ $ * hmm... nice sample manipulation of 13... good tune a bit
$ $ repetitive..
$ $ * patterns repeated too much, a few good points
$ $ * way way way to repetitive :P~
$ $ * not ALL weird stuff is cool!
$ $ * Nice effects on drums, but too sparse and boring.
$ $ * Yes, percussions rule. The rest is just vinyl-stuck-at-5th-
$ $ tune-on-the-"new 3-years-old-housetalents collection"-notes.
$ $ Urrrgh.
$ $ * Even weirder than Speedy J's songs
$ $ * Although everything about it is minimalistic, I couldn't help but
$ $ embrace its simplicity. Interesting percussion, nice riff. I wish
$ $ there was more.
$ $ * ?
$ $
$ $ [.23.] lup-cere.it Lupin ( 4.0258)
$ $
$ $ * Wasn't anything special, but still good.
$ $ * Lifeless rhythm. Unmelodic. Absolutely pathetic harmony. My
$ $ grandmother could do better than this .. and she's dead.
$ $ * Sounds like Inopia giving a concert on the beach
$ $ * Hahaha. Offkey, pain, something is wrong with my doorbell. Yeah.
$ $ * Gives me a headache
$ $ * very basic stuff (tomtom)
$ $ * tink tink tink funky song, could be filled out a lil more...better
$ $ ending needed..
$ $ * kinda... well.. wierd. Get some rest :)
$ $ * damn that xylophone!
$ $ * You ARE as bad as they say you are!
$ $ * noisy
$ $ * You had such a promising start!!. Notes too low.
