I was able to download Tristeza's file fine with a right click.
Here's some more reviews before I leave:
Plunge - Cool tune. I like the openess. I also like the jazzy/bluesy key solo at the end. The song has a very down home kinda feel that just adds to its authenticity. The only thing I might change is how the vocals are handled. They stick out in a weird way, but I can't put my finger on it right now (maybe a different mic).
TristezaOrange - Cool intro. The mix is a little wacky when the drums and guitar(??) come in. Maybe put a high pass on the plucked thing and eq the drums a bit. I dig the feeling of this piece, it's very reflective. Simple, yet deep.
Jebudas - Interesting in a way, but it didn't really hold my attention. Nice use of samples, but I would prefer to hear them evolve, or perhaps midi'd harmonies. This would have actually been pretty nice as a sci-fi entry a coupla months ago.
Thomasc_dk - Is that a bong in the background?
I dig this a lot! In ways, it reminds me of Quiksilver Messenger Service, which is still one of my favorite bands. The mix could be tightened a bit, but other than that, this is stellar in my opinion, great feeling.

Anti-aliasing is for "synthmonk%ys".

I'm going away for 2 weeks on the 9th, and will be away from any PCs.. I expect at least a 1000 more entries by the time I get back!! I'll be just in time for the voting..
I'll do a larger traunch of reviews then.

I've just been reading through this thread...
Do you folks REALLY expect people to give proper ID tags to their MP3s if even "oldtimers" such as Tristeza (or vurt, bluedad and a few others last month) aren't able to even NAME their submissions properly?
Ah well, I know... people just know so much about VSTis and what not - there's no place in their RAM anymore to even think about F2-ing.
