Sen no Kiseki OST - Tie a Link of ARCUS! — 7. It's okay.
Star Wars - Imperial March — 7. Of course, it's gotten own tiresome, but I can't bring myself to give it less. By the way, if there happen to be any junkies like me here who are interested in music theory, you can check out this interesting video which also covers this composition (just don't turn it up too loud).
Night in the Woods - Astral Train (Soundtrack OST) — 6. Interesting sound of instruments, but overall not quite my thing.
Chill | Kisnou - Name of The Night — 5. It's okay, but a bit boring.
Kingdom Hearts 2 - Dearly Beloved II — 5. See above. I even checked to see if this was actually the next track or if I had accidentally played the previous one again.
The Isotopes - 8 Bit — surf's up, boys. I was listening to some surf compilation on YouTube and immediately noticed this composition. Although the band is quite obscure, by some miracle this track was uploaded separately.
What does 8 bit have to do with this?
I have no idea how they chose that name) Maybe it doesn't mean 8-bit as a music genre, but is a reference to some old computing devices.
Electric Dark Souls - Race — 8. Kavinsky on a budget (I've only listened to him in this kind of genre). It'll do.
Dark Souls - Gwyn, Lord of Cinder - Ru's Piano Cover — 7. Something about it clicked.
Manowar - Sting of the bumblebee (instrumental) — 4. I'm not a specialist, of course, but it seems like the guy can't handle this tempo. It would have been better if they played it a bit slower. Plus the sound quality, and I'm not a fan of this composition in general.
Path of Exile (Original Game Soundtrack) - Orion — 6. The choir carries it.
Non-Stop Music - Edge Of The World — 5. Looks weaker compared to the previous one.
Life — 8. The melody isn't particularly notable and the accompaniment is a bit empty, but for some reason I really liked it.
Tatar biyü köye / Tatar dance music [Tatar Songs] — 5. It's decent music, come on. Even if it's not my taste, I think this is real authentic Tatar music. Unlike the imitations of varying degrees of pop-ness floating around the internet under the proud name "Celtic folk" (sorry, the former Celtic musician in me has awakened).

Generally, yeah, there's almost no Celtic stuff this year, strange. If I had known - I would have sent some (actually, there was an option to send French folk). On the other hand, there are tons of orchestrations, and they've kind of merged into one mass. If there were fewer - maybe I would have given more points (I used to give 8-9s to various Two Steps from Hells).
