Voting is not funny at all. Voting is stupid and depending on the mood you are in at the time you fix it. Impossible to get it down to five.

Stop lamenting, get through with it ...

5 points: Jasinski - Feeling Free (This one is standing out)
4 points: Yeager - Fosbury Flop
3 points: Irion Da Ronin - Our Last Words Of Love
2 points: evo2slo - Moog Me Baby!
1 point: elipsis1 - Propitiation

Props to at least half a dozen or more of you who also would have been worthy to get points. You know who you are. See our comments on SoundCloud.

Thanks to SKYZONE and Oktipus for picking us.

[bzur]

My votes:

1) Irion Da Ronin - Our Last Words of Love
2) Doc Jon The Principle of Progress
3) Third Floor - Minibob
4) Mulperi - In the Rain
5) z.prime - Lament

[z.prime]

Here' my spread:

5 pt: elipsis1 - Propitiation

Some really nice parts throughout, thick, unique sounds, great percussion; I think your genre description is particularly appropriate - and I really appreciate the blending of [impure] dubstep with other styles to get a unique sound. I love the interplay of different parts throughout; I guess just a matter of personal preference, great job this month.

4 pt: Irion Da Ronin - Our Last Words of Love

In my opinion, the best percussion of the bunch; and a classic Irion track. Not sure about the title, but love the cinematic feel, moving progressions, melodies and variation throughout. I said it on SoundCloud - to me, this is definitely one of your best. Would be no shame if this won you a big prize.

3 pt: Bumtu - Digital Nomad

Love the sounds you coaxed out of the synth, broken beats, style, and especially the second half & melody. Greatly unique, big points from me for that factor; and a very enjoyable track. Keep up the awesomely unique work.

2 pt: Jasinski- Feeling Free

Definitely awesome, I find your style is unsurpassed. For me, similar to Irion, I felt a lot like the tune was a bit of a rehash of your last winning track, though it was certainly unique in its own way and I enjoyed every second. I don't think it would be ill deserved for you to take the prize away with this track. I bet if your tunes found their way into the mainstream, you'd be a wildly popular overnight success. I can't wait to hear where your production talents will take us next!

1 pt: Skyzone - Classical flavour ?

This is without a doubt the favorite tune I've heard from you. I really like the instrumentation, melodies; the beginning section is something very different and intriguing. I find it interesting that so many people like different aspects of your tracks and you have a wide variety of votes. I think we should change up the rules to accumulate votes for artists, not individual tracks.


And, others that could have easily made it if my mood were different; top quality:

Third Floor - Minibob, APZX - Veiled Journey, Photonic - wellcome mr. higgs, Mulperi - In The Rain, Doc Jon - The Principle of Progress, bzur - A meditation (never thought there'd be an OSC where I liked a bzur tune that didn't get points!)


Thanks all for votes on my track this month; moreso for comments on SoundCloud.

[SuperNoise]

I'm really under big shock how many entries form this OSC I put in my playlist today.
@V'ger - two or three contests like this one and we can open electronic music records label!

I don't like to vote, I do only if I must, so no points from my side, sorry.

Big respect to all participans.
Hats off, Gentlemen!

[Gone soft]

Still slightly in doubt, so much earcandy and relistening made me change my mind about some tracks.. But, I decided to vote so after yet some more relistening and slight reordering I ended up with the following:

5. Irion Da Ronin - Our Last Words of Love

- this one grabbed me and wouldn't let go, contionously fascinating and beautiful, sounds seem wellcrafted to me

4. papatomany - by the light of the gibbous moon

- liked this one imediately, the mood was to me somehow reminiscent of delightful sixties movies or colorful tv-shows but a bit more sophisticated than most such soundtracks would have been.. nice percussion, works very well for the track and contributes to the overall mood.


3. evo2slo - Moog Me Baby!

- yeah! great fun!


2. ThirdFloor-Minibob

- lowkey track with interesting development - nice details

1. Jasinski-FeelingFree

- ooh, nice one! catchy, energetic

[papatomany]

Here are my votes, but I want to say that most every track was phenomenal and I could make a completely different list tomorrow and be just as satisfied with my choices. Great, great stuff!


5) Irion da Ronin -- Our Last Words of Love
Quite a journey (I almost downgraded this one simply because I really didn't hear my beloved minimoog, but great sounds, fantastic percussion, near perfect, so I really didn't have much choice.)

4) Skyzone -- The Perfect Butterfly
Absolutely majestic and I've always liked the striding rhythm.

3) Elipsis1 -- Propitiation
Great use of textures. Extremely dramatic. Not a bit subtle, but well crafted.

2) Z.Prime -- Lament
Uses just about every color on the palette and does it very well. The edgy parts really lift it up.

1) Yeager -- Fosbury Flop
Classic fusion-type stuff that I love. Great drive. I especially love the lead sound at about 1:00 and desperately wish it would've returned later.

[papatomany]

Oh. And thanks you three for the votes.

[adagiocm]

Congratulations Irion!!

V'ger: looks like Octipus's vote was not tallied up. It doesn't change the winners, but it bumps me up by one to #8

Thank you all who voted and/or commented on my track!

[z.prime]

Congratulations Irion!!

A well deserved win for a great artist and a wonderful human. I can't think of anyone more deserving of "the big prize" - congratulations Irion!
