Thanks for the notice, got it fixed. FYI, you're up to v3 on CPZ now; I have two prior versions on my drive from you.

So with Sanik not hosting anymore, do we have these files elsewhere?

I seem to be having problems connecting to sanik.hacking-cult.org at the moment - I keep getting a connection timeout.

I'm surprised there isn't more of Tweaker's music in the appproved list. That man does epic music (IMO)!

Without listening to the exact pieces you're referring to, all I can tell you is that the ones not on the list did not have the qualities we were looking for in music for the game. Once it meets the basic criteria outlined for them, it must also be highly gameplay worthy; not everything that listens well makes for a good gameplay track. My personal metric for that has been to fire up a video of a given zone being played, mute the sound, and play the relevant submitted piece over the top. If it's jarring/distracting from the gameplay, it doesn't make the approval list.

Yeah, dudes, I just checked on the database and it seems to load now. It wasn't last night, so it must've been some downtime.

About Tweaker's stuff, he hasn't actually submitted anything serious to this in quite some time, so his stuff probably just got outshined by something else. That and the only songs I recall him submitting were for Emerald Hill. I'm sure he'll probably pop in here and correct me if I'm wrong, though.

The last serious submissions I made are two years old and severely lack polish. Plus every time I contribute some douchebag tends to make me completely uninterested in it a short time afterward. All the songs I wanted to make mixes of are already taken anyway, so I'm not terribly offended or anything.

I honestly don't know what I'd do if you don't use Blast Processing's Death Egg Zone (yes I still remember it and it still remains superior today). I mean, that was amazing and everyone was complaining about it not being faithful... Oh, the times I had, mmm~, delish.

But yeah, is there any plans on getting a finalized list of what currently approved music is going in any time soon? I know that there's still submissions going in, but entries will have to be closed sooner or later.

I'm surprised you say that. I for one think you make good choices with your instrument/sound design and you have an incredibly rich collection of music that has been done to a high standard that alot of people do fully enjoy, including myself.

Also.

Most of the music isn't closed off from new submissions. The only one that was said to be closed was HTZ.

I personally really like his ambient version of Death Egg. That and there will probably be a couple different versions of songs, so it shouldn't be a huge deal.

As far as I'm concerned, Blast Processing's ambient remaster is one of the better ones we've had submitted, thus its presence in the approval list.
