Ar nosurge: Ode to an Unborn Star - Class::EXPAJA - it's certainly intense with a very full sound...that organ, and the brass really adds to it. The voice soloist sounds really ominous, like at 0:49...cool chromatic movement there. In the section I enjoy the non-diatonic harmonic changes around there, too.

As far as No Turning Back, the melody is nice, but my favorite part is the quiet fast-moving counterline at the start, and I like the one jazzy bit at around 0:05! I like the mood change for the (second) section, the first part of it... some good note choices there. Not as much of a fan of :38 and onward, though.

Einhnder - Madness - The percussion sounds are excellent...it certainly sounds hi-tech. I like how they and the syncopated melodies interact with each other at the start. Really cool stuff. Note choices in the melody are cool,too. I like this one more than some of the higher-ranked Einhander music.

As for the other, I like the swinging piano idea...it's my favorite part about it, and the steady melody on top is certainly not offensive.

Plok! - Cotton Island - eh, it has a little bit of charm to it. I kinda like how it mixes up triplets with sixteenths, and how the bass gets the spotlight at times. It manages to stay just fresh enough throughout for me to not get annoyed too much. The other just seems like standard 80's funk with not much that sticks out to me, aside from the cool synth/voice combination in the "groovin up the night" part.
