Espil's Random Assortment #2

Description:
Yet another random selection of songs. This time, it's...

Alternate Paths: Decent dungeon music in my opinion, but nothing too good like in the other sets.
Careless Wonders: A theme for a character I no longer use in my stuff.
Hydro Mines: A much more recent version of the Hydro Mines theme in Bladed Triad. Created after BT was pronounced dead.
Lost In The Woods: Exactly what the title says. An unusual forest theme for in my story stuff.
System 1: This song takes rather heavy inspiration from the Playstation game Vandal Hearts, which is the first tactical RPG I've ever played.
System 2: An older-sounding version of one of the parts used in Quint Exist. It suffers from the same file-saving error the Strings version of Other Memories did, and one specific instrument is unheard through the entire song.

Credits:
None.

Alternate Paths: I loved it. It was energetic, and the driving rhythm and melody were really powerful. I loved the section with the three cymbal hits in a row. Dun-DUN-dun!
Careless Wonders: Not a huge fan of this one. I think the glockenspiel sounded a bit off with my setup. I'm sure it's great anyway.
Hydro Mines: You accomplished both the "hydro" and the "mines" aspect of your title so well. It almost sounded piratey with the timpani drums. I loved the main chord progression. The melody itself wasn't as powerful for me, but I can't ask for it all.
Lost in the Woods: Relatively simple, but quite effective. Not much to say here.
System 1: Oh, I'm hearing pirates again. There wasn't anything particularly memorable here, but it was active and continuous--what it should be.
System 2: The bubbly instrument sounded downright awesome. It reminds me so much of the pipe levels in DKC3. The other instrument choices I remain a bit undecided about. This was the most memorable of the random set.

Alternate Paths: Nice dungeon bgm it is...And a nice 4 star song too. A different format than midi though.
Careless Wonders: My hearing impairment prevents me from hearing the Glockenspiels. Null vote.
Hydro Mines: I like the way you combined the seashore SFX with the music. Excellent combination of bass, timpanis, and strings. 5 stars.
Lost in the Woods: A nice combination of strings, bass, and the clarenet. 4 stars
System1: A very fast paced song. Tubas Timpanis and strings make a nice trio in this upbeat tune. 5 stars
System2: A cool melody with the ocarina and pick bass. The beat is nice too. 5 stars.
Overall: 5 stars
