Lexx - 4. It's just... okay. It ended before it really began. You can consider this a counterpoint to the points deducted "for length," as this is a point deducted "for brevity."
Divan-2 - 5. It reminded me of the music from Gothic. Not bad, but it's probably better experienced in the game.
Dragon's Dogma - 5. There are some interesting moments, but I'm not a big fan of this kind of music. And yes, there's a choir here, so it's not entirely instrumental. But whatever.
Kingdom of Fae - 6. The synthesizer sounds of the "choir" slightly spoil the impression, but overall it's not bad and creates a fitting atmosphere.
Two Steps from Hell - 7. I know this melody, even though I'm not a big fan of this band. A guy from my dorm used to be obsessed with them. They have some even better tracks, but mostly with vocals.
Contest - 8. Oh, I even played this on guitar. It's like "Olo-lo, the Kingdom of Ritchie Blackmore," which is what it was sold as on pirated CDs back in the day, but it's actually not Ritchie, but Greg Joy and some other guys. But the melody is the well-known "Greensleeves."
John Murphy - 9. I liked it. The development is great, and the melodies are interesting, reminiscent of my favorite prog/post-rock, but less intense.
Styx - 5. Broken rhythms are good, and I initially wanted to give it a higher rating, but it got repetitive towards the end. I would probably forgive such monotony in guitar music, but I don't love electronic music that much.
Epic Theme No. 2 - 8. Something similar to Two Steps from Hell, but it hooked me more, possibly because I hadn't heard it before.
The Dark Side of Royal Generosity - 5. I haven't played Dark Side, but I've heard the melody, so it was definitely in one of the previous games. I agree, it's definitely not the best track in the series.
Radioactive Kid - 7. I love the combination of violin and cello. If it were played on other instruments, I would have rated it lower.
Experiment with Liquid Tension - to be honest, I wouldn't have given it a ten myself. It's definitely not my favorite instrumental piece, but it's the one I found the least over-the-top and not too long. I should have sent in something even shorter. But still, it has a great sound that I can enjoy with a cup of tea at my computer or anywhere else.
New Wave Sluts - 7. I like this kind of electronic music a little more.
Flight of the Condor - 6. Seeing the title, I wanted to give it a higher rating, because you shouldn't offend a classic, but I've heard better performances of this melody. This one is kind of bland.
Royal Generosity Warrior Server - 7. A good battle theme, but again, there are more memorable tracks in the series that I could give a solid nine.
Hieroglyphs - 9. Pleasant, technically proficient, and original. An excellent conclusion to the contest.
