Ravenheart: Sopor Aeternus & the Ensemble of Shadows - In Der PalustraI'll admit, I've always been a sucker for vibrato in someones voice, even if some may see it as overdone, I've always thought it sounded great. This guy really had tons of it, and I could see some saying he had too much, but I thought it really complimented the song well. It was a bleak song, but it was quite awesome I must say and I enjoyed it greatly.

YtseBitsySpider: Theocracy - Laying the Demon to RestThis song was insanely epic and
. The lyrics aren't my thing, but the music itself was insanely awesome. I thought the singer, while some might find him cliche, I thought he performed greatly and added much to the song.
DTVT: The Anabasis - RomeThis is kirksnosehair's band IIRC, right? This was quite a powerful epic, and pretty much has everything you'd expect in a good prog epic. Awesome technical instrumental sections with a nice dose of pomposity. I really enjoyed the guitar and organ solos in this song tons, and the singer ain't too shabby either.

ariich: The Flower Kings - PainterI am slightly familiar with TFK and enjoy them, but they're a band I keep forgetting to further explore, and it's been quite a while since I've listened. Anyways, this was an enjoyable tune and it had nice lyrics. You're increasing by 1 point every roulette round.
kari: Movie (Never Made) - A Silver Mt. ZionThis is a band I keep forgetting to listen to, being a huge GY!BE fan. The only song I've heard is Iron Bridge to Thunder Bay, which I listened to solely based on the fact my city's name is in the title.
Anyways, this was quite a pretty song. It was short, but just the length I feel it needed to be.
AcidLameLTE: Caravan Palace - Jolie CoquineThe music video for this was creepy as hell. The song was pretty happy and catchy though, and I enjoyed it and the jazzyness of it was quite nice.

Gorille85: O+S - New LifeThis was quite a beautiful song really, and the vocals were quite nice. I don't know what else to say but it was a nice song.
Nekov: Iluvatar - In the EyeHmm I've never heard of these guys. This song was pretty good though, although Neo Prog has never been my thing, aside from Marillion and IQ. I liked the vocalist too.

obscure: Angra - Morning StarSo, I really did enjoy this song. The vocalist was really awesome too. I guess the song was just slightly less great than the rest of the submissions. Being an open round, it was a difficult choice. D:
