Vote for your Top 10 favorite compositions, in order (most-favorite = #1, proceed downward). Please include at least the username of the composer (not just the composition name). This helps as I tally me some votes.
Voting ends on early a.m. (US Central Time), Saturday, April 1. It may be just a little while after that for me to tally the votes before the results threads appears due to a robotics competition on that date.
No voting for yourself. Voters must have had 20 prior posts, or at least have participated in the contest this month.
Once you place your vote, you cannot change it, unless permission has been granted by the moderator.
In the case of equal scores after voting, entries will be separated by how many 10 pts (i.e., how many #1 votes) they got, then 9 pts and so on.

General thoughts - quite a lot of the stuff this month was a bit 'samey' for me (as opposed to others when there's been loads of variety sonically), but there was one obvious top choice...On a more positive note, always good to see a few more entries.
David Stiles -Excellent, very big budget filmic
Beanpole - That must have been a massive dump for the bog to be flushing that long....80s indie guitar sound is top notch.
Clarago - the bass sounds nice - new strings are evil! Bit of a mix imbalance with the drums/bassguitar, but I like the bluesy riffs and the vocal mentalism
Zippy731 - Infectious bassline and good programming but seemed to stay a bit at one level , but nice!
Laguna Rising - the piano at the start reminded me of something - The theme from Sherlock! Guitar falls a bit btetween two stools -neither nasty or polite.
Bzur - clever use of the samples there, perhaps could build a lot more.
Ericbourne - Jath, or is it Jaath. Good drums. And a random accordion bit!
Jay F - Whales/clagers noises, definitely evoked the water theme
Hellfog - Nicely evoked claustrophobic effect
Bluerobot - Just crept in - a valiant quick effort nice cavernous sounds
Mr Natural - More jath (mebbe Jaaath..) Seemed a bit meandering, but mebbe the point!
Tasty Tatsyn - Kind of new agey and relaxing

Some good stuff in here. The makings of a nice water-themed ambient album, methinks.
My ratings, best first.
==========
davidstiles
So epic! Cinematic and awesome. I need to see the nature film that this is the soundtrack for.. something about water and air and life and death and narrated by David Attenborough.
bzur
lush and wonderful! bendy lead and beat play nicely. Great composition!
ClaRago
This one really grabbed me! FX are freaky and wonderful, riff & groove are just right. Dig.
Jay F
Lovely exposition here. Probably my favorite storytelling I heard here today. I can hear all of the inspiration (Europa, Odyssey, whales, etc) and the mix and sound choices are excellent.
bluerobot
Freakin' awesome! Lush and exotic, and very cinematic. Terrific!
donkey tugger
I enjoyed the toad the wet sprocket feel.. I liked the break with a little pop synth playing thru there. Your voice reminds me of Richard Butler / Psychedelic Furs, well done!
Hellfog
Cool ambient vibe, and definitely underwater-otherworldly! I admit I was a little surprised by the drum fill & beat about half way through, but it fit in just fine. Part iii with the squeaky resonant critter was a little surprising too. Very original track
Laguna Rising
Props for playing live! Juicy guitar licks.. nice Carlos Santana tone you got going there. Lots of layers (and work) throughout this piece
tasty tatsyn
love the ambience you built from the very start. very convincing and colorful. well done!
ericbourne
cool esoteric jazzy feel. You certainly took the water theme literally with the mixed percussion. Crisp mix.
Mister Natural
Trippy opening. Very psychedelic, suited the title and graphic. Soundscape is pretty interesting, lots to take in
Beanpole
I enjoyed the build, felt like the storm coming and going. Mix was a little heavy on the water, and hard to hear instruments sometimes, IMHO, but that's just taste. Good melody and composition.

Just because it's insane doesn't mean it's a bad idea.

I gave extra points this time around to things that seemed, to me anyway, a bit out of the ordinary. Not to say "better", but just different, and therefore caught my ear. All in all a fun theme and a great month of submissions... nice job everyone!

Really great stuff all around! But since I have to rank it, here's what I would say:
1) donkey tugger – drip drip – A fun, kind of joyous pop tune with some pretty great vocal stylings.
2) beanpole - Water Journey – I really like how you integrated the water and guitar sounds into this track as part of the narrative journey.
3) bzur - Aqua – Another example of really terrific work integrating all those water sound samples into a track.
4) tasty tatsyn - Blissfull Droplets – Really nice selection of sounds, very evocative of a journey into an underwater world.
5) ericbourne – porch – Cool, atmospheric and jazzy.
6) Hellfog - Floating Underneath – Definitely evocative of the title and the image that you gave it, and then you bring in the unexpected, ominous synth sounds. Nice work.
7) Zippy731 – Safe to Go Back in the Water – Cool and danceable track. I feel like this could be the base for a really great club track.
8) Mister Natural – Swimming w Mr. Frog While Tripping – Definitely a trippy feeling. In one part I felt like the sound of a waterfall was phasing in and out of my consciousness, which was very cool.
9) Jay F – Deep Under the Seas of Europa – Great idea for a water track, and you’ve got an appropriately suspenseful and otherworldly kind of sound here.
10) bluerobot – Siren’s Cave – Good ambient listening.
A very strong honorable mention to Clarago and Laguna Rising, whose tracks were also high quality.
