Nice to see so many entries 
Sorry but, eventhough I love reading the comments people give (on ALL the tracks, not just mine), I find it very hard to write them myself.
Mostly because I don't listen like that, I can love a "bad" song because of 2 bassnotes or one chordchange.
And because english is not my native tongue, my comments will always be something like:
nice this, nice that, lovely this or lovely that.
(See below).
Time to vote:
Trouble - Xaenima : 10 points
Nice overall especially the nasal lead.
Nikel - SporkSurgery : 7 points
Very laidback, nice swing.
Random noise - Mulperi : 5 points
Lovely lead.
faTAL noise - bzur : 3 points
Nice hook-melody and rhythm variations.
Polymood - Peter Gone Sonic : 2 points
Love the tempo/mood changes.
Shmup - edteneyck : 1 point
Nice break/tempochange.
Leaving tracks out was the hardest part.
This OSC was very hard to judge, I liked (almost*) all the tracks.
(*I don't think "left-channel-mono" will take the musicworld by storm though...)
Well done all.
@Tattie : Fred you will be missed, I can still remember when you started (took over) the OSC.
Your positive, and uplifting spirit made it what it is now, and it still is the main reason I try to join all the OSC's.
No doubt V'ger will do a great job, as he has proved himself already, but it won't be the same without you at the helm.
I always love(d) your input, for me it's always a joy to read whatever you write.
Tattie's Onemanshow
Thank you for everything (I know, I know...you're not gone yet ).

Cheers for the votes Yeager, and the kind words 
I dont think you have to worry though, as I said, I'll still be around, and I'll still say what I believe, still throw the odd suggestion in, and still hopefully be supportive of fellow participants.
I just cant maintain the input to make sure the comps start/finish on time, and keep up with all the other stuff ... things have been slipping for some time, and I dont think that is good for the comp, and doesn't feed OSCers with a lot of confidence.
So, I think with V'ger, and hopefully one or two others in charge of the running, things will happen in the way they should, and hopefully I can contribute in a way that gives strength to the whole process
Anyway, time to roll out my comments ... brief though they may be ...
Dystopiandambientdanceparty -- Cool sounds ... lovely air of mysterious beauty mixed with a sense of mechanism.
TAL Musicbox -- Great opening - very emotive. Nice production.
Noizemakin' -- Nice dirty sounds, cool use of the bass.
Games Without Front Teeth -- Usual Yeager high quality production, great sounds with a nice percussive edge, simultaneously soothing and stimulating. top marks for the title! ... very good
Homage -- Nice smooth intro ... then ..!!!!! ha ha ... great stuff! 10/10 for variation! A track which unapologetically sucks you in to spit you out and dance all over your skull! Well over 250 tracks produced by OSCers to date, and this is def one of the more unique.
Sick of this noise -- Cool sounds ... nice composition, and good production ... a bit of a gamey feel to it in parts.
4x7 -- Love the pump on the kik, refreshingly unusual track with a beat which is difficult to pin down. dark oozing sounds
This is a test -- Nice start with a lot of promise ... and doesn't disappoint! Good production, and excellent range of quality sounds well presented in an impressive composition which despite the massive variation, retains a sense of cohesiveness throughout.
One preset -- A brave take on the challenge aspect for sure. very unusual ... I dont think many would have dared do a track with this selection of sounds, but hey ... it works!
Talosc -- A fine track from the off. Good strong sounds and thoughtful production. very atmospheric ... that solid snappy snare is worth a special mention.
Water -- Now theres a kik!! Nice patient build up.. Nice use of a cool sounding bass, leaving space for the rest. excellent range of sounds ... cool track all round.
Fudge -- Very dramatic track! great range of quality sounds, interesting and varied composition and clever production
Shmup -- Very nice opening, and down to business! Very nice production. well crafted composition
Random Noise -- Sumptuous ... yup, thats the word .. great composition, sounds and production. Clever use of delay/verb in this one
faTAL noise -- Nice composition, Good production, lovely use of a good range of sounds, and the autopanning is great! An interesting soft edge to the whole sound which is very appealling
Polymood -- Cool bass end, and some nice tricks! good varied composition, good production and lovely sounds.
Forth -- Minimalist classical with dirt on! nice riffs, typical deranged, yet appealing in many strange ways ... that's mr blitz!
Babushka Elektrik -- Spooky kinda track. Nice sounds, good production and nice spacey feel.
Ride on a meteorite -- Cool production, good use of spacial fx, and good mix of percussion sounds. Nice track, if a little on the short side.
Trouble -- Love the panned hats! nice production, interesting set of sounds, and cool evolution of composition. Nice changes.
Nikel -- Nice thick soupy sounds. Great production and well crafted composition with a nice mix of simplicity and assertiveness, and a few nice tricks to ensure constant attention.
Ghost in the White -- Fraid this one has been way over cooked in the compression oven. Difficult to judge really, so sorry, gonna have to pass
Obsession -- A strange otherworldliness about this track which I like, with almost a sense of humour tucked in. Dunno though, theres a sense of sounds pushing one another out of the way which suggests overcompression, and yet, I think this is deliberate variation of attack on different sounds ... which is interesting, but slightly disturbing.

Ok, it has been a nightmare to judge ... another fantastic collection of tracks!
The high number of entries has been accompanied by a high standard of quality in terms of production and composition, but the range and use of sounds has been phenomenal ... educational even! ... Also, the range of styles is impressive, with some very unusual tracks as well as approaches to track building.
In all, I think I listened to all the tracks about 8 times since the start of voting.... the first 6 plays casually as I went about my business ... possibly more .. the last two listens, were critical listens ... but a pleasure every time.
However, I can only give points to six tracks, so here goes.
This is a test -- CapDan ... 10
Polymood -- Peter Gone Sonic ... 7
Fudge -- Ah Dziz ... 5
Talosc -- Totolitoto ... 3
Shmup -- edteneyck .... 2
Random Noise -- Mulperi ... 1

No joke bzur, it's difficult to search for though .... the word 'pink' is way too common .... I'll post the address when I find it.
Oh, and there's about 11 hours left for voting

Here is the pink link ...
http://www.signaldust.com/plugins.html .... Took quite a bit of searching! I had to check the download date on the zip file ( luckily I still have it! ), then find OSC posts around that date, and eventually found the post by Nahkranoth with the link! .... Copy and paste it somewhere safe, or go download the beast .... it is almost impossible to find via search engine.

@lovers of russian synths
You may check also great demo of real analog Aelita:
