Excellent :D The orchestra hits are a tad on the cheese side, but I'm reminded of the soundtrack from Soul Reaver (one of my favorite video game soundtracks ;) so I can't be to harsh.

Wow- this one's great too; a little more lively than your other tunes. I've got to agree with Solo on the orchestral hit thing- sounds a little cheesy. The glitchy madness going on within the beat is a work of genius, though. Impressive.

Thanks Solo, I think you're absolutely right about the string hits. I had some reservations about them initially, but probably lost an objective outlook a while ago! I may try to rework this a bit with a substitute, so that the strings don't sound so much like the dreaded orchestral hit sample. Thanks for the input, much appreciated.

Love your texture contrasts. The ambient pad versus the bass and beat are excellent. I'm not crazy about the orchestra hit, it seems out of place as such a cliche element mixed with the rest of the exotic soundscape, but this still owns and outclasses most of us.
