Great music all around this month, with all kinds of interesting approaches to the WWI theme. Honestly, I think that I more or less had a five-way tie for first place, with the others only slightly behind. But I managed to sort them out as follows:

1) Kryptonaut - Shell Shock - I liked that you took the psychological approach - almost felt like I was in the head of a shell shock victim.

2) Shangsean - Heavy Load - Just a really first rate cinematic track. This could be the music for a movie about the trenches of WWI.

3) proxc - Trenchant - You did a really good job of painting a narrative picture.

4) ClaRago - Trench Storming - Neat atmospheric piece, good mix of orchestral and synthetic elements.

5) Hellfog - War of Chaos - I loved both the guitar-driven middle and the piano-driven end.

6) rifftrax - Flamethrower - Fast, driving track with a good sense of urgency.

7) thomekk - Friedrich Bruck (did not live since 1918) - Very creative track. I especially liked it when the vocals kicked in.

8) ericbourne - Lost Generation - Sombre, military feel - effective and nicely produced.

9) D.H. Miltz - Shot at Dawn - I think the minimalist songwriting approach really works well for this theme.

10) mellotronaut - Berlin Juli 1914 - Scary sounding right from the start! Definitely captures the feel of the coming madness.

Honourable mention to the rest, which were also very nicely done.
