2. MGMT - Siberian Breaks (honestly, I wasn't going to nominate this since it just felt far too long for my tastes and was even going to say this is one of the weaker songs in this set... but the sound design and soundscape in general is extremely cool and very immersive, so fuck it, it's good damnit.)
3. Orange Range - Monkey Magic (pretty nice honestly, love this kinda shit a lot, but personally it's also kind of generic too, which while I wouldn't normally complain, compared to the tracks I voted for it certainly sticks like a sore thumb lol)
4. duuzu - Blow My Speakers Up (I forgot this was even a KFAD thing LOL; but yeah, very cool Hideki Naganuma/Jet Set Radio inspired track and all around a very funky fresh tune, but yeah, it didn't win me over as much for a vote sadly)
5. Chuck Salamone & Mason Lindroth - Xeno Arcadia (pretty nice. I assume this is for a town theme of some kind? either way, although the bass sounds like someone had one too many tacos at Taco Bell and is shitting himself in the toilet right about now, it's cool shit, just yeah, not enough for a vote, yada yada yada or whatever)
6. Hiroki Kikuta - Rabite Forest (Powell) (just a heads up btw, but AFAIK Kikuta didn't have any actual involvement in the Trials of Mana Remake arrangements, he's just credited as the composer, so the arranger should be credited as well; according to VGMdb, the arranger for this particular one is by Ryo Yamazaki, so uh. yeah. anyway, not exactly my favorite Seiken Densetsu 3 track, but it's certainly up there... if only the other themes weren't so much better in pretty much every single way LOL)
7. ZUN - Interdimensional Voyage of a Ghostly Passenger Ship (oddly enough, if this set in general wasn't as solid as it is, I would've actually considered voting for this lmao; always personally liked this over Murasa's theme anyway, but yeah, this set is just that good, so I guess I'm not voting for the 2hu track once again

8. MarStarBro - VS Sonic.exe (Endless) (it's fine I suppose. could be worse, and again, in a less solid set it could have had more of a chance... but yeah, that wasn't the case, so, yeah)
