That ended technique works on a rather unusual virtual
party - antigue toy compo. to be honest with, rather
a variety of nominations, I was expecting much more
works, rather than their actual number at this time. Thus, in
vote-collection consisted of 29 music from three separate 
nominations - mainstream, progressive, cover music. graphic 
works was an order of magnitude smaller - only 11, also 
scattered over three and diversified categories - traditional, 
alternative, logo graphics.


quality of work rather controversial (in fact, as always), 
because There are undoubted masterpieces, and there are 
so-called "Classic", which is basically nothing worthwhile from 
a does not represent. below I will try to briefly describe

each job. I could put all the music scores in
According to this book in 10 point system, but do not want
nayazyvat you my opinion.


....................... mainstream music .......................

... . railway express

music is old school,'s commercials 98-99h. theme though
and quite interesting, but circling around the same chords
and very quickly get bored. Drums are made fairly stereotyped,
and generally the technique does not "shine" variety.


... . a toy

top track conjures some boredom, but rather
uncertainty before a further continuation of the composition. 
but a few seconds later everything falls into place and she 
smooth flows into a bit unconventional pop music, which to some

least congested shock and slightly mixed on acid. in general,
sensation of listening to pretty good, but the atmosphere in
while listening to the still quite oppressive.


... . beside impressions

undoubtedly one of the best tracks in this category
mainstream. color her wonderfully beautiful melody, not
Shock of the overloaded and the correct rhythm of its
author. well listen to the background and not get bored during 
the a long time listening. a beautiful thing ...



... . improvisation # 13

I think everyone already guessed who the author of this 
composition. for those who have not guessed, I'm glad I will 
not spoil, but only slightly comment on the work.

by this author for the past two (or three) years, no
any other topics like this one. if in the beginning is to listen
beautiful and interesting, I personally was tired of them. want
anything more than fresh, because it is clear that the 
potential of the author there but for some reason he does not 
want to lay out all their trumps at once ... may be a tactical 
move? 


... . chaos'n'order

and here we have one more old school, but unlike the railway 
express it is even more monotonous. any particular feelings of 
his listening does not occur, but rather want to stop it

listen. Yes, the author is clearly very little ravzival 
ideological thread track that eventually led to this eerie 
monotony. 


... . brick on the head

it all started at the cemetery ... It was dark and damp, the 
wind swayed hair ... somewhere there was a rustle. I was 
startled, looked around, but no one saw ... and again a cool 
breeze ruffled me hair, and I stand and look out on the road ...

music is exactly the above experience. course,
each of them different, but personally I just like that.
idea of ​​composition in something in common with the "Funeral 
March", but for me, so it is something he has surpassed, though 
certainly not in all.



... . the farm

rather measured're doing on the farm. then a cow, a chicken 
here. In general, all as humans.

Theme track cut ears, because used with samples that
better do not use it. listen very hard, but at the very
end as of the earth worm scream ornament that
finally destroys it.


... . inbetween remix

remix tracks from the demo on placebo - inbetween, which was
demonstrated at the biggest party in 2002 - computer art
festival.
What can I say ... Yes, the demo looks just music
fine, but when it begins to listen without, so to speak,
visual perception, the whole chip it is lost and the track
converted into ordinary monotonous music.


... . das problem

style of the musician's hard not to know, but for those who do 
not guess again, I will not open secret, and will allow you to

decide who is the author of this track.

composition is very rich and is perceived by the ear "Hurrah." 
please colorful transitions and beautiful percussion.

True, over time, from start to tire of this music, because it
not distinctive diversity.


... . forgive me

beginning of the track is not particularly boredom, but almost 
immediately after the intro starts sheer monotony, which is at 
least and somehow changed, but the overall picture is not 
correct. too monotonous ...



... . burning planets

track literally be divided into two parts - a calm and
restless. Despite the name of the music can be assumed that
quiet start - it is a peaceful life on the planet, and the 
second part - is the process of their burning caused by 
incomprehensible prichniami. initial issue quite accurately 
reflects the peaceful life and perceived well, can not be said 
about the "burning" part which does not differ particularly 
interesting. 


... . raccoonerie

veselenky track, which relieves stress on all
tapped before. Technology at the secondary level, and the very 
track, general, made a rather stereotypically, that does not 
prevent him from being on inherently very good.



...................... progressive music .......................

while not inherently a fan of alternative music, below, I
I will express the purely subjective opinion, which is directly
due to my dislike for the progressive style.


... . groundscape soul

rather indiscriminate bombing of shock, not associated with
any topic. issue here as there is none, so that
listen to the track is extremely difficult, which also 
contributes to a humming ogibalka.



... . noizy dream

In my opinion, the music is too much hiss, although the 
background Heavy drum and bass is not as noticeable. theme, as 
well as in previous Mouzon missing, but overall the track is 
much higher the sound quality.



... . baroque

track is very reminiscent of composers klassichekoy music, such 
as Mozart and Bach. fairly quiet theme, with dryish

climax. particularly diverse track is no different - the theme
dvizhentsya on the same circle.


... . transplontation

"Creaking" the beginning suggests that this track is nothing
much of ourselves is not, but all doubts evaporate
immediately after the start of the topic. theme, though not 
very diverse, but very beautiful. additional color adds richness

sound, which in recent times is not common.


... . skies in rave

missing the most important concept - the music. the author, most
apparently set himself the task of experimenting with
shock that he has turned out not so bad. but one
impact of the music can not be judged, my opinion - the track 
sucks. 


... . half trance

music in the style of "trans" in the recent recruit more
popularity. here, even as the name implies, it is 
understandable that this is not trance. is a mixture of pop, 
trance and acid. pretty good music, though monotonous.



... . ay unlimited: the big minimal

almost old school. Music is nothing special
interesting, albeit bizarre sound effety various
the mood a little bit up and do not give the track to be 
boring. I'm under this track is asleep:)



... . antigue toy prezent

very fancy on zuchaniyu track, highly technical and very
saturated with special-ringtones. In my opinion, the track is 
from onim best in this category, despite the relative

monotony.


... . ambientalence

completely asynchronous and chaotic bass drums make the music
impossible to listen to even at the very beginning.
impression that the author either was drunk when her
writing, or just decided to make fun of everyone.


... . basic recrus

of the entire track can be identified only rhythmic drums,
through which music can not be called crap. general track
fairly typical: the theme is almost absent and ideological 
development practically does not occur.



... . Dolphins swim to the moon

top track can be described as a typical pop music. and
only to further the continuation of the theme we can say that 
it is all yet progressive style. music listening pleasure - it 
is not bored with time and no pressure on the ears in the 
process of plays. Ideal as background music for

any newspaper.


... . sublimaticale automaticale

Being an absolute enemy of this style I can only say,
chtoudarnye fairly typical, but the music itself is almost
repeats of the pattern in the pattern. I think fans of the 
style, Tracks like.



... . thy dreams, thy dreadful visions

track translates as "your dreams, your terrible vision." already
name can be seen that we can expect something terrifying. so
it is. music conjures up thoughts of the cemetery and its 
attendant elements - the graves, crows and other filth. track 
me very much, very much, because do not often see these "scary" 
theme in such a beautiful performance.



... . vicious circle

For some reason track reminds me of music from the console 
dendy: used approximately the same tools. nothing interesting

of itself it is not: the typical ideological emptiness music 
with a set of sound effects.



......................... cover music ..........................

before you analyze the latest nomination for the music
compo, just say, that none of prelozhennyh
organizers @ toy tracks I was not in his soul. exception is
ironman'a track, but since his track nobody zaremiksil, my
analysis would be very cruel to authors
remixes. apologize in advance.


... . dark fusion remix

music reminiscent of a plane flight (or a spaceship?), which is 
essentially obey its pretty nice, but different is not 
necessary to these places sound "supplements" spoil the whole 
look and do not give focus on the music.



... . make up for mig-29

the original music from the mig-29 remix is ​​not very similar, 
but the Still, I even thought that plays digital music, rather 
than tracker. fairly well-done remix, but I personally

tune in it does not like.


... . amause voxon

pure pop music - overly hackneyed theme, and almost
monotonous melody. listen to boring very quickly. technically
same music is performed very competently.


..................... traditional graphic ......................

overall image of all nominations will not shine
particularly diverse, although, of course, there are also
worthy things.


... . mig 29

work in the old school style. like foreign games 90s.
in general, comparing with the original plane, we can say that 
he drawn correctly, but no color and no texture no

reduce all the positive emotions on the "no". nevertheless we 
live in 2003 and not 90th.



... . lightin

At first glance the work looks very beautiful, detailed as it
study finds it a number of drawbacks. In my opinion
Texture person holds is not correct - impression
that work is an envelope.
flawed and the Butterfly, mustaches that make it up slightly
similar to the present. right wing also holds slightly
disproportionately.
but despite all these shortcomings, I work very
liked it.


... . netslov

great job ... very sensual and heartfelt. among
other works, this stands out very clearly his idea and
quality of workmanship. frankly, not even guess who
may be its author - too much lately
appeared good artists.


... . dark castle

in this work, I liked all of the elements from the wall and
ending sky. of the shortcomings can be noted only that
that, in general, the work looks rather drily. could be
try to diversify the author of color.


... . the dangerous temptation

somewhere I've seen something like that. nothing remarkable job
does not stand out - the girl is drawn with a minimum of
time.


... . by goosey

I somehow think that this work drew ice'di ...
generally, the girl is drawn quality - I liked
colors of hair, and indeed it looks very bad.
shortcomings - iroglificheky background - too kitsch look.


... . blowhoo

this work, I think, is the best graphics work
on @ toy compo. and the idea and its execution at altitude. 
beautiful "Bluish" color range and accurately traced characters

let me say that it will take the first-second
place.


... . dee

work is similar to konvechennuyu. her face is covered with not 
very beautiful textures, and all the colors work does not shine

diversity. background also consists of a personal
good.


..................... alternative graphic ......................

... . spider-man

the author's work to call too, because all may have guessed who 
it was. work is done in typical style of this author - a large

"Mask" to the heroes of pictures and depicted in the ridiculous 
details. I really like.



... . kotinka

for flashing flash'em picture is difficult to parse, but
so clear that it is not brilliantly painted. personally I
got the impression that this Pussy runs. optical illusion?


......................... logo graphic .........................

... . meesis

Work like creativity relict'a, although this may not be
he said. logo is painted well, that's just somehow not 
colorfully ... drily.



Well, that's all you can say about working with this virtual
party. I want to say to all: fill in the questionnaire - 
support the work of people who are too lazy to do all the work!
