Boardroom - very Trans Am but groovier. i dig.
Mega-Awesome Dragon - i'm hearing Mouse on Mars through this one and that's definitely not a bad thing. then the trumpet takes it to a whole other place on top of that. awesome.

It's funny, I don't think I would've made the connection to either of those bands myself, but I do love both of them so I certainly take those comments as a compliment!

- When I listened to this, it was my first time hearing anything from Jans.. and how eclectic this is! It's my second time cracking a laugh during this comp, and it's because that "brrr" sample. Haha. And I do not mean this in a bad way. The song is fun. The vocals are awesome.. nicely set apart from everything else in tone and emotion. Interesting song, no doubt.
17. Krill-Whale-Human - Mega-Awesome Dragon (from Janszoon)
- Loved the pianos. Made me want to make an underground Hiphop track based solely on them. Nice introduction of the IDM-style percussive elements. I almost feel like this is a secret song on Mario Bros. 2. I love the fun aspect of this.

Haha! I'm glad to hear my stuff makes someone laugh. Humor is definitely something I try to make a part of a good amount of my music, especially a song like "Boardroom" which has totally satirical lyrics. And it's interesting that both you and mr dave made an IDM comparison on "Mega-Awesome Dragon". It's funny how other people can see thing in your own music that you can't. I never would've connected that song to IDM at all but now that you two mention it I can totally hear it.
I sorry I'm taking so long to write up my reviews for all the tracks, by the way. It's been a really busy week at work and I'm heading out of town tomorrow so I may not be able to post anything until next week.
