This contest is being held and Anfiniti. I want to also put a poll here to see what all of you think. Here are the voting rules I made at Anfiniti, I'm going to paste them here:
LISTEN TO EACH SONG ALL THE WAY THROUGH! It simply isn't fair to the composers if you only sample the songs. I know they can get long, but if you're not willing to listen, don't vote.
Please don't use iTunes or QuickTime when listening to these. Because these applications are made by Apple, their MIDI translations will highly degrade and sometimes even destroy the quality of the songs. If your computer operates on a QuickTime browser plug-in, save the file and open it in a different program.
Criticism is not only accepted, it's encouraged.
Enjoy.

Allright so I checked out all of them.
After the first and second I thought I wasn't going to vote at all because I did't like either of them, yet the last one will take my cheesecake bucket, by that I mean it got my vote.
Tangent of Mosaipelago- hmm, it seemed like if my speakers were broken at the time, but then it got allright. Then it became a bit like hell, I began to think when will it be over. Since I was thinking that, then that meant I didn't like it as much. Over all, the rhytm was the same, and it took the longest to finish.
Kefka Laughs- It amused be at the begining, yet it left me wondering what happened to the rest, and there was abrupt change in the song. It left me confused overall.
Frankie's Day Out- Did I love this one or what! this was funky in an original kind of way, where it kept a very neat rhythm going. I just kept playing it over, and over again. It had a nice flow, and it was very catchy! This get's my vote!

Mosaipelago (whateverthefuck that is) makes for an interesting tangent. It's like an enthusiastic college professor who just really got into that lecture, lost track of time, and spouted off about some hard-to-understand bullshit in that rabies-of-the-mouth sort of way that left 90% of the class either asleep or ready to throw rocks. But I guess I'm part of the 10%, the little cluster of freaks that listened to the whole thing and found it genuinely interesting - maybe even a bit inspiring. Bedazzlement is a little too strong of a word, but it's mindbending to the point of satisfaction. Would (and will probably) listen to it again.
I was all ready to vote for Kefka Laughs for its track title alone, but I listened to it and... Well fuck, it just got better. Diggin' this, despite NOSTALGIARAGE because I was waiting for the iconic Kefka laugh sound effect to pop up and it never did. *ahem* Anyway, unlike ToM, this one's got soul in spades and I am listening to it on repeat while doing this little write-up. That little interlude near the end is really catchy.
Frankie's Day Out sounds like awesome video game music, and I like awesome video game music, and it holy jesus I guess it IS awesome video game music. What, it isn't? Well, sounds like it to me. I'm seeing that shitty SNES Tom & Jerry game come to life and increase in badassness by a factor of 10 if this was the only track that played in the game (note to self: actually try this sometime). Or it could be about some guy named Frankie, that's cool too.
For me, it really boils down to how much I'd listen to each of these, and Frankie's Day Out just made it into my library. Voting as such. Can I get the composer's name while I'm at it?
