GMoneh, by stilted I meant stiff, not quite natural (so, not a good thing, generally, but not a terrible one). Not sure if that's what Mister Natural meant.

or . . . mechanical, trying too hard . . .

OK, here are my reviews. Sorry if they're brief but I have limited time right now and wanted to be sure I listened to them all (although right now there's one I can't listen to)

RuediRena - Not really sure how to comment on this

spirulence - I like this, and the harmonica part really drives it along, and the organ really works well in the background

Emerald Tablet - Chilled out 80s feel to it

nikp2000 - I kind of almost get a country feel from this

Knockman - Sounds like you greased the edges of the time limit to make all of this stuff fit in. Late 70s post-punk!

pljones - Sounded like the intro to a much longer Tangerine Dream track. You should put more work into this to make it longer

evo2solo - Rocking piece with a big wall of sound

DrApostropheX - Sad ending

shrikant - Interesting melting pot

Daniel Pompougnac - Good piano piece (better structured than my piano noodlings...

)

forw - Sounded like the theme music for one of those not so well known sci-fi shows that got a cult following over the years

Mister Natural - Progresses really well over the limited time

slartibartfast - Kind of wished this had gone somewhere as it seemed over before it reached where it was going

Laguna Rising - Sounds like my drive to work

beanpole - Good piece of songwriting here, especially with the time limit

peppy197 - Ominous sounding

GMoneh - A foot tapper number

farlukar - Got to call out the bass on this like someone else did (pages back somewhere). Good stuff

Patrick9 - Good use of the time limit to structure something within it

SJMmusic - Sounds like it would fit well in some kind of military game play

D.H. Miltz - Always like to hear some reversed guitar

kryptonaut - Funky keep fit spandex music

lowcloud - Ambient sort of feel to it

Cheeso - Had to listen to this twice to be sure

1-2-Many - Wouldn't be out of place on David Bowie's first (his REAL first) album

inboxzero - You certainly did get to the point here

offthewall - Good piece of guitar playing here

SLD Music - Nice vocal

Bjulin - Interesting changes in this piece

IrionDaRonin - Sorry, at work and the hosting site is blocked so I can't play it

liqih - Got my attention

bzur - Well rounded bottom (if you know what I mean...)

mellotronaut - I like the almost off kilter sound of this

Peterhud - Couldn't help but think of Zappa while I listened to this

Doc Jon - Love the lyrics to this!

Thanks, robojam.

To all: please remember the naming convention and the bit rate/quality setting limit. If you've forgotten one or both of these, you don't need to re-up with a corrected file (though you can; if you decide to, please let me know first), but try to keep them in mind for next time.

Thanks... although that adds yet another band to my "must listen to" list.

Shrikant

Sorry it was short, but I had to try to get through them all in a very short time and didn't want to pull them to pieces with re-listens - I'd rather just give my first thought without analyzing.

They went through phases though, but what I meant was the earlier period when there was a lot of organ playing and very basic sound generators. Something like the 72-75 period

Odd considering that the 2 minute time limit in place for such a long time was apparently too short for many contest participants.

Maybe music needs to be either very brief or very self indulgent...

After giving some of the entries a brief listen (I know...that sounds rather obvious giving the song lengths), it's going to be hard to pick out a top 10.

Also..................

Are there any spoilers as to what the theme will be for next month?

When I lock the submissions thread and post the voting thread (in about ten hours), I'll post next month's theme.
