1. Chick Corea - Encore (Live) (my nomination. ngl, I got this one recommended to me by a friend of mine a while ago, and honestly this still makes me laugh at how ridiculously good this is; in fact, it was so good, I even made a Twitter post gushing about it the moment I listened to this the first time, just an all around great performance haha)
2. zts - Resurrected Replayer (damn, nice, I love trance stuff like this lol; the intro in particular with that saw coupled by the phaser effect and those little chimes are very cool, and I'm definitely digging some of the classical influence with the harpsichord and violin as well, melody is fairly nice and melancholic, just the way I like my lead melodies, pretty cool shit haha)
3. Kohta Takahashi - Night Stream (this was also extremely cool IMO, but sadly the Umineko track just impressed me a lil bit more; still tho, damn nice breakbeat shit )
4. Wintersun - Sons of Winter and Stars (honestly, I liked this quite a bit, despite the fact I'm in a really big hurry to post this and the longer length certainly not helping things out lol; the erhu was quite nicely used here, and in general it's certainly very nice metal, but yeah, it wasn't as good to vote for sadly)
5. Hiroto Saitoh - Fellow Soldier (not too bad I suppose, I don't know much about Hiroto Saitoh outside of some of the stuff he did for Ginga Force (which you should listen to btw, very cool soundtrack), but this sounds fairly cool, though it definitely drags on a little bit IMO; doesn't help that this is an extended upload either )
6. Haircut 100 - Favourite Shirts (Boy Meets Girl) (enjoyed this a bit more than I was expecting I suppose; but otherwise, not that remarkable sadly)
7. SuganoMusic feat. Renko - Lonely City Lights (Densha de D version) (funny eurobeat track. not too bad, but it deinitely drags on quite a bit)
8. Lee Nicklen - Track 2 [Small Fry] (just didn't think too much about this one LOL)
