Well me and zipzipper made it through round 1. i would just like to say congrats to everyone who are in the round 1. according to some people NGADM is one hell of a difficult contest and the fact that you are in the first round is already a quite a feat.. or so they say.. ;)
regardless whats important is that you do not quit and keep composing music. basically keep doing what you love. given love exists on what you do of course.
a shout out to Group A! check them out guys
And a few tracks i loved :D Dance of the Poltergeist, Argentinean Memories, Ira De Deus Mechanicus, The Abyss, NGADM Round 1 and Tree of Life
