@johnwill: Well reasoned set of points, but, I'm not sure that the point of the background music here is to 'get out of the way of your workflow', or to be reduced to simple 'elevator' music that just sits in the background. I think what we have here is new territory for the user. Maybe the user would like to be inspired by and epic inspirational and moving piece of music, or maybe relaxed into a calm state, or even fired-up for action. What we are asked to vote on here is what 'we' would like to back-drop our browsing activities, and I guess our answer to that question would change dependent on our mood, or activity at the time. It's all a big new world, and I think we are all different, but, certainly I would not relegate the choice to fit in with one view of the music's perceived function.

I know this is a competition, but, when it’s over, why not commission full length versions of all of these for a music pack upgrade! What an album that would be! Still ‘A’ for me though.

Wow! What a competition, what a display of talent and what a range of opinions. Having listened to them all a few times, as this sets the scene for their intended listening mode, the one that sticks in my mind is ‘A’.
The more I hear it, the more detail I hear. There are distinctive sections that I find myself ‘looking forward to hearing’. A hauntingly atmospheric theremin 44s (I assume that's what it is), and subtle, but pleasingly discordant stressed instruments that come between the 1m10 to 1m14 minute markers. And it seems to have a theme that sticks with you. Amazing ‘A’, but in the company of so may other great works.
