Listen at your peril ... and then cast your votes for the best Gargoyle only track!
See thread ... http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic ... 51ada8d4fe
We have 12 tracks ( I so wished for a 13th to arrive! ) to vote for, and inspired by the excitement of the Sputnik vote, we will once again go for a multi-vote system.
You can award points to 3 tracks in allocations of 5, 3, and 1.
So that's 5 points to your favourite, 3 points to second fave, and 1 for third.
When you have decided on your votes, post in this thread. Please submit all your votes in a single post in a clear manner.....
...something like,
Track title - 5
Track title - 3
Track title - 1
Please listen to all the tracks before casting a vote ... I know it takes a while, but its the only fair way to do things ...
So here's how!
@@Go to the online folder .... http://www.4shared.com/dir/21373365/665 ... lenge.html
Here you can listen to individual tracks, and read accompanying notes re. what what was used in their making. You can download individual tracks as you wish.
Alternatively, from the same link/folder, you can also download the zipped folder '00 - Gargoyle Tracks'
This will be a lot quicker than downloading individual tracks, You will then have all the tracks in one place to listen to at your leisure!
You can also access either of 2 playlist pages .... here,

...or, courtesy of BrainOvulation ( Thanks B.O. ) .... here...

Reviews, however brief, are always welcome, but even if you can only find the time to add a short comment, then please do! ...it keeps the thread alive, and encourages others to listen/vote. I will do a review when I can grab a bit of time to do the job justice.
**OH! .... and should there be a tie for any of the top 4 places, participants involved will be required to produce a pic of themselves, and the scariest wins ...
******Tattiemannies ( stuck record ) guide to voting******
A broad approach I would recommend would be to disregard genre and to some extent, production quality. Its more about how the artist an the chosen synth have produced the range and quality of sounds necessary for the track.
so .... we dont go asking "why no brass?" in a folk tune, anymore than we ask "why no soft pad?" in a punk track....... The idea from the outset is to create a track using only one synth..... and the proof of the pudding is about how that challenge has been met, so it's not about the merits of the synth, nor the merits of the track, it's about how the artist has shown that the limitation of using only one synth, does not necesarily limit their ability to produce a quality track, in a style of their choosing.
So I suppose what we're looking for as a yardstick is the "wow! you did that whole track with one synth and hardly any effects????????" factor ...
.... but thats my take on things .... feel free to apply your own criteria when casting your vote.
**Closing date for votes will be the 9th of November**
....Enjoy the music!------------
Note .... I will tally the votes and post updates as the votes come in.
