ripples has synths that remind me of a Vangelis soundtrack. It starts with calm synths, builds a nice momentum, then mellows out again.
That wraps up the coverage from the first Music Challenge.

Vamp is a quiet and soothing instrumental piece.
Its creator thought it sounded overly like a softcore porn soundtrack, but I think it could use a little bit more, maybe a pulsing saxophone, a squealing guitar solo, or a honking bicycle horn. What do you think?

Flying Moby Attack is droning space rock.
While the name suggests a bald musician gliding above the ground in an attack position, or an enemy from Zelda II, it’s meant to suggest a cross between the lo-fi space rock of Flying Saucer Attack and the electronica of Moby.

This isn’t in the usual genres covered here – Hunting for Foxes is a nice bit of metal. The video I picture for it involves highway driving and guitar playing, in the desert. It would rock.
