Cheers.

Voting Pillar of Salt on this one; Armageddon Man is fantastic, but it starts to drag a bit near the end, whereas Pillar of Salt is the perfect length.

Ciao.

Voting Pillar of Salt as well. It's my favorite arrangement of what is left.

Cheers.

Very torn at this point. Pillar of Salt I admire greatly, but even I'm surprised it's lasted this long ... and it doesn't have the juice for me to blindly support it now. Armageddon Man is more simplistic in terms of execution, but creatively it's probably far richer in terms of its conception and transformation.

Besides, who wants an all-Square finale?

Ciao.

Armageddon Man's elements are all so tight-knight and fantastically-executed, even if it is not quite as complex of an arrangement as Pillar of Salt. And plus, it just has an inescapably exquisite beauty. Pillar is powerful too, but in more of an epic sense than the personal, touching feel of Armageddon Man. Also, I'd love to see something from C64 get so high in the contest.

I have to admit, though, the decision was tough for me. These are both quite excellent tracks.

Cheers.

Well, we have a tie. I wonder who will make it out on top.

Ciao.

We still need a tiebreaker, folks! Anyone who hasn't voted yet may simply say which track they like better to break the deadlock. At this late stage in the contest I'm loathe to do things any other way.

Cheers.

Not having voted in this pairing, I will cast a tiebreaker vote.

Spoiler:

Pillar of Salt is my preference and shall move on to the finals.

Ciao.

It's done then! Thank you Crash. Much as I hate to see Armageddon Man go, as it was my favorite of the remaining tracks, I'm even more relieved to see the final round begin.

Cheers.
