I'd kill this post because the humans were you inspiration and inspiration is before the work!

Anyways, I think it fits. It's only always the question in which way it fits because you always have to focus on some aspects in your music.
Can't attach wma files as an attachment, but the pastebin will expire 30 days after the last visit. So I doubt it will expire, and just in case I will visit a couple of times a week.
thanks again

Elementals - Story
The elementals are like many races, yet they are so different from all others. From as far as anyone can remember the elementals have been there, they share bonds that represent each other. But even as a race they themselves have differences that would throw them into war. From shape, size and even composition. In this song you will hear the randomness of each elemental, the race that doesn't even have one determined bodyshape. The beat of their warring ways, the chaos of their questionable actions, and even the transitions between the many types of this race there are... From the warring to the soothing elementals this song tries to single them out in the midst of their chaotic wars.
Elementals - Instruments
Everything in this song was synthesized, It uses many synthesized pads and a synthesized piano. The "air" effect at the beginning and end was a pad that was passed through a gate effect. The reason these instruments were used was that the elementals have an energy like flow to them that you get out of synthesized instruments.
Special FX inlude an EQ, a frequency clipper, multiple envelopes (for volume and panning control), and a phaser (multiplies and manipulates frequency ranges).

Orc Theme - StoryAs the orcs traditional music came from drums of war and deep echoes from the steps of their gigantic beasts, this song will contain their elements. In this song you will hear how Orcs see the world through music. Full of ancient spirits that chant, drums and echoes.
Orc Theme - InstrumentsUsing Drums, deep echoes (from steps of beasts), sounds and voices of the Spirits. The strong wind that some times come strong and sometimes weak. A nice end with a strong drum sound to finish the song leaving its echoe back.
| Theme | I believe the music fits the Orc theme well with the tribal drums, and the cymbals add a nice tribal feel to it. But there was just something missing. | 20/30 |
| Creativity/Originality | The piece is a little bit repeatitive, it sounds a lot like many different tribal musics, maybe you should have changed up the drums a little bit. And there was not enough other instruments added to the music. | 9/20 |
| Dynamic/Tonation | The music stays on beat well, and the few changes in instruments you had were blended in well enough. | 15/20 |
| Composition | I do not think it was composed the best, because what got me was the fact that it sounded like a piano in a tribal setting. When it started I was like, "Okay, sounds good so far", then half way through it lost my interest because of the few changes. | 5/30 |
| Theme | I think the music matches the theme you were going for, the music it's self was soothing and gave me a victory feel. | 25/30 |
| Creativity/Originality | Very original in my opinion, I have not heard music like this before. | 15/20 |
| Dynamic/Tonation | The flow of the music is constant, and the music stays on key and gives a very nice vibe. | 20/20 |
| Composition | The composition was well, the song kept it's course and delivered what was expected. One minor problem is the way the song ends, it should drift off rather then just stopping. | 20/30 |
| Theme | The theme gives me an Element feel, I like the use of the technological sounds. | 27/30 |
| Creativity/Originality | Very original, not much music out there that sounds like this. And if there is, I have not heard it. | 17/20 |
| Dynamic/Tonation | The dynamic of the music seems a bit random to me, it seems to me you just randomly added sounds that made it sound good. You should have a sense of order to you music, not randomness. | 8/20 |
| Composition | The composition was okay, I think you should have spent a little more time working on the feel of it, and not length. | 15/30 |
| Theme | /30 | |

Very justifiable question. Even more because you explecitly said that your previous post was a WIP. People just can't read.
That's not much seeing the list of people saying "I'm in" or even submitting WIPs, but that's enough for a poll. We should not let this contest end in nothing, there was much to much work in it.
Maybe because this one had a pretty good amount of participants we can try to make the theme a littlebit smaller. This theme was really free, but now we know multiple people will enter we could make the theme smaller to something like a tileset or something? (So Ashenvale or Barrens or Icecrown) Who knows, that's for later. Just thinking out loud because a 2nd music contest needs a different theme, and it's hard to make it much different then the current theme.
