"This week's winner goes to... Ronan McQuillan! As always, he delivers on production value in a major way - but he also is really mindful of the fact that he's composing music for games. It's reflected in instrumentation, the style, the mix: I could easily see this dropped into several different game scenarios. Congrats, Ronan!"
