March Contest: VOTING

[Barnadine]

I think enjoyment of this month is related to your fondness for guitar solos.

1. zzz is zero/leaving the motherland
2. slodberg/moving to venus
3. heck/golden age
4. xirrix/vurty
5. iggy and pablo/augustus dub
6. the tots/enfantry
7. nestor/peterpan
8. decoy/echoes - astanine?
9. anorexic niggaz/top of da izzo - heh. doc'x?
10. smalltalk/my young love - nice arrangement, though most of the instrument samples are sort of horrible.

HM: Anything without a guitar solo.

(I was planning to favour original tunes over straight covers, but Heck won me over.)

[mellotronaut]

It was really pretty difficult to vote. There are about 25 very good tracks, 20 good ones and 3 outstanding tunes. A big thanks to Markleford for managing this.

1. Smithee & Co - Insects' World (never had a doubt about No.1: innovative, atmospherish & homogenic)
2. Query String - Get The Message (Needs a better vocal-mix, has a strange addictive attraction.)
3. Kronos Eros - Cuffed (Wonderful mix of different elements, everything fits in perfectly, especially the vocals.)
4. Curiouser - Concerto (Did you use the synful orchestra? Will there be a larger version? Wow I like it!)
5. Vince'e Friend - Pista de Audio ( Good combination of instruments, nice playing; ixos?)
6. Heck - The Golden Age ( great cover of an outstanding tune)
7. Slip Note - xxxxxx vs. Floyd Cramer (It was the atmosphere...)
8. Miles Roberts - Granchildren (just nice)
9. Dark Wish - Mink Void ( Perfect emulation; Is Nick Mason your neighbour or your husband? )
10. Anorexic Niggaz - Top of the Izzo ( perfect assemblage; could be Max )

Guitar solo: the other Floyd-emulation was not bad, but there was something missing.
We are Bach: that is weird and I like it, but I can't listen to it that often.

i have to say how fantastic heck's golden age is . i actually went out and bought sea change as a result - i hadn't bought a beck album since midnight vultures. i prefer heck's voice to the original on this one. i'm also flattered by the assumptions, attributaions and so on to me. thanks

regards

My first time voting... goes a little something like this:

Smithee & Co. - Insects' World
John Mitchel Charred - Oxygenic Part 1a
The Guru - Deserts Rise
Bad Nutrition - Left
QueryString - Get the Message
The Colourist - Spectra
We Are Bach - Rogue Fugue
Heck - The Golden Age
Kronos Eros - Cuffed

It wasn't easy trying to select 10 out of all these great tracks. I had no idea these competitions were of this calibre. I look forward to trying again soon.
