DYHALTO'S PROFILE

Usually these bills are actually written by corporate lobbyists themselves, seeking to entrench or expand their business using legal framework and tax-funded enforcement. All the politicians have to do is "introduce" or "sponsor" the bill.

If you had an elected representative who actually cared about his constituency, the knee-jerk reaction to such legislation would be "GTFO". But money rules the political process. Without any kind of drastic uprise from the citizen population, big business will continue to write and dictate the law of the land.

Part of me wants ACTA to pass.
The internet is the mainstay of modern bread and circuses. Maybe if this thing passes, people will actually perform some much needed revolution and lop off all the necessary heads.

Otherwise, they'll just keep trying and trying and trying and...

Nice work again, harmonic. I was right on my hunch. *fist pound*

So 2nd Place goes to a tie between VGMusic_4_LIFE and Tarranon
3rd Place is geodude. He's been holding back on us all this time.

I still liked #16 though ;(

Awesome. This final theme should be a lot more exciting for us casual listeners. Don't let us down, dudes. Be bad enough to rescue the president.

When reading my comments about songs, keep in mind that I don't have a specific ear for music. I strictly listen and trust my gut to tell me what I'm getting from it.

Entry 1 - It feels like a nostalgia scene taking place in a spaceship or space station of some kind.
Entry 2 - This is town BGM, 100%. The "remember when..." just ain't happening ;-; Still a great piece though, and one I would definitely consider using in one of my towns. I'm also getting a bit of static in certain parts. Maybe it's just my PoS computer though.
Entry 3 - Something about this track seems like it doesn't know where it's going with each note.
Entry 4 - This one has a lot of potential. It sounds good, but just feels like some more instruments could be added for refining.
Entry 5 - Might fit a sob story, but I don't know about genuine nostalgia.
Entry 6 - An excellent flashback tune, no doubt. But something is missing.
Entry 7 - I like this one. It invokes a kind of past triumph. When a battle was won, an award, or something like that.
Entry 8 - I'm very partial to this one. It's just very melodic and backgroundy, which is perfect for nostalgia scenes.
Entry 9 - I had to listen to this one several times to understand exactly what it is that deters me from outright liking it. I think it's just that it's fairly plain. I don't know. I feel like it's good, just not outstanding. It's still one of the better ones though.
Entry 10 - The passive nostalgia feeling I might use this for in a video game isn't happening. It's something that would have to applied to a specific scene in motion, like a movie or just forced dialogue-moving. Also, call it a hunch, but I think it doesn't afraid of anything.
Entry 11 - Rather than nostalgia, this feels like a flashback of something that happened in the past. Something not too awesome, either.
Entry 12 - If the scene involves kids playing or otherwise some kind of prank, I can see how it fits the theme. It's just too darn jolly for it's own good.
Entry 13 - Wonderful track for a peaceful town. Well composed and beautiful to the ears, but there's too much happening for it to provide the passive ambience necessary for a good nostalgia scene.
Entry 14 - Suffers from the same problem as Entry 13. Too much happening for it to be a casual "remember when..." scene. Yet another excellent piece, though.
Entry 15 - I didn't care for the intro, but got into it in the second half. I'm sure if I were a musician, my critique would be very favorable, but I'm just a stupid audience idiot who only gets what he gets :D
Entry 16 - This is it. This track has the sound I'm looking for. It fleshes out that feeling of something that isn't there anymore. You can't go home again. It only exists in your memory. As far as I'm concerned, nothing else comes close.
Entry 17 - Too pearcing on my ears :x It doesn't fly as a nostalgia track, but could be used for a ruins or something similiarly gone.
Entry 18 - I like the wind. It's definitely appropriate if your flashback happens to be on top of a mountain. Limited in it's use though, and generally not very in tune with the theme.
Entry 19 - Smooth and nice. The only fault I can see is that it has no exceptional values :x Very well made, but doesn't take first place.
Entry 20 - o.o;;
Entry 21 - Something good just happened. The girl was saved, or the family was reunited, or I found my toy. But it's a here and now feeling.
Entry 22 - How are you gentlemen? Time for battle. Let's go. Yeah, the nostalgia factor is far, far away.
Entry 23 - I barely noticed it was playing while multitasking o.o; Too passive for it's own good.
Entry 24 - One man orchestra? Either way, it doesn't fit the orchestral requirement D:

Obligatory "You all did a great job!".
But really, this was a tough theme to work with and nobody underperformed (although it does seem like someone decided to make his own theme :p ).

My Vote : Entry 16
