T25. Xenogears - The Wind is Calling
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOjm9I_-Psw

Average: 3.2
Geo mean: 3.103691148
Scores of 3, 4, 3, 2, 4

Comments:
* Honestly a toss up between this and Heynong Man, it boiled down to personal preference. The serene tune makes good use of its instrumentals, but it's nothing I haven't heard before.Nice atmospheric track. No complaints
* I can't help but shake the feeling that I've heard this somehow before. It's nice and relaxing, but there isn't too much going on. It pulls off the feel it's going for well enough that anything extra would probably get in the way anyhow.
* Very calming song, sound like something out of the Chrono Cross sountrack.
* I really enjoyed "The Wind is Calling", though I honestly don't know why. It's not objectively the best song of the contest, but it's thus far the only non-Dustforce song I'd want on my mp3 player.

And pop, there goes a soundtrack.

T25. Gimmick! - Cadbury
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWVkM9Ut1O8

Average: 3.2
Geo mean: 3.103691148
Scores of 4, 3, 4, 2, 3

Comments:
* Not as good as Lion Heart, but just as frantic.
* Nice jazz sound that managed to impress me despite the fact that I typically hate any song using the NES soundboard or whatever it's called
* This is the best type of NES music. It uses the silly 8-bit instruments to great effect and sounds amazing despite, or perhaps because of, its limitations. You could listen to the whole song and only realize at the end that the game was on the NES.
* Is it just me or does Cadbury sound like the opening theme of a late night talkshow? I almost expect an announcer to introduce Mr. Gimmick and the very special guests he's welcoming tonight.

T25. Gimmick! - Sophia (Take 2)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oR_CU_Ru9ZM

Average: 3.2
Geo mean: 3.103691148
Scores of 2, 3, 4, 4, 3

Comments:
* It's not easy, imo, for a chiptune to be so relaxing and almost zen-like, so kudos to Gimmick!'s composer!
* Very pleasant listen, not much else.
* I generally don't like chiptunes or stuff that sounds like it, but this is nicely varied at least. I don't mind it.
