In the mean time, here are YouTube videos of the songs, in case you are curious what they sound like:
The Impression That I Get:

Video is from Band Hero, but the audio is the original mp3 and not the game audio, so it goes completely out of sync, but at least you get to hear how it goes. The song is an old favorite of mine, and I know people have tried to map it in the past, but have always been struck down by the timing... now Cyclone has timed it, for the betterment of all humanity.

The Real Folk Blues:

This is the ending theme to from Cowboy Bebop. You should watch the show sometime. The version of the song used in this contest will not be the full version or the TV Size version, but instead it's a custom cut that I created myself. Chosen to fill the "anime" gap in the contest selection, but we wanted something with a very different sound from most anime songs.

Showing Heart "Dance of Cornered Rat":

This song has such a weird title... Kharl suggested this song when I was asking for a video game that no one had mapped a song from. Sigma Harmonics is a Square Enix game for Nintendo DS, which has both RPG elements and mystery-solving elements. The song also uses 3/4 time, so it has a different feel to it.
