Panellist Paul Farrer on Mad Jack by Bartosz Klimaszewski

Very good but you lose points for using the 'Bowed Metal' samples from Distorted Reality too much. I use them too much as well. So does everyone else. One day the public will notice. Rating: 88%

Panellist Paul Farrer on Calm Space by Jason Creasey

Terrific sense of space and ambience. It unfolds and develops really well and has a sense of fragility. I would love to hear where it goes from here. Beautifully done. Rating: 89%
