august contest - GOSSIP

[Markleford]

Markleford, I never knew you had such twee power within you (admittedly it's yank twee, which will never be as good as old fashioned GB twee...'i know someone who knows someone who knows Alan McGee quite well', ahh the pooh sticks! ), but it aint bad. Get a few of those Wedding Present stylee guitars on there, its a f**king winner!

Eh, a leopard can change its spots on a blue moon, right? Sometimes a bit of pop just fits the bill...

I'll just leave it to you to make the Wedding Present version (after You™ does the Brain Wilson thing), as I couldn't bear to drop my horns from the mix.

I’m buggering off on holiday on Monday will miss the voting. So, true to form, I’ll probably get my customary annual disqualification.

Anyway, just in case Teach is feeling generous and will accept my votes, here’s my top five:

Plunge - Chloe
Catchy and alive with the vibe. Great song, voice and chops.

Spyro - The future of humanity.
Musically right up my street. Remco you’ve got a great voice - a bit like Conrad Lambert but better.

Bastien - Ninety- Four
Dark & lovely.

Beardedone - Jubwha
Nice arrangement. Love some of those piano chords and brass section riffs.

Wopelka - Rain Dance
I like this. It sounds like it should be in a Terry Gilliam movie.

Honourable mentions (ie music I found the time to listen to)

DT - 12 Foot Lizard
Hehehe - ELO indeed. Now I’ll always hear a little bit of Jeff Lynne in your tracks, Sorry though, points deducted for the words "Ivory Tower" (on a par with paradigm I’m afraid)

Freezstar - Beleza
Top escola de samba vibe. Got me in the holiday mood.

Duncan Parsons - The chimp who wasn’t there.
Nice arranging and chops chap. Made me chuckle too.

Mr Me - After Eve
Nice. I especially like the bell intro

Fst - Upturn
Good stuff. The man can certainly play the geeetar.

RichieBee - 50 Second Getaway
Top title & vibe. Nice drum programming

Kriminal - She’s Alive
Competent as ever - not that you need me to tell you that

IanWeb123 - Ceycal
More interesting than 90% of ‘electronica music’ I get sent

EarthTones - Crave it
20 years ago you’d have got signed with this. Tight production & made me grin.

Baggio - Acid country
So NOT my scene that I couldn’t help liking it.

Mystar - SMAshid
More than a little scary.

Andreas E - Sweet Summer Rain
How could I not like this?

Tristea Orange - AerialNova
Been wanting to check out your music for a while and now I’m gonna check out more.

thomasc-dk - free for all
Very interesting with some great progressions. Good vibe too.

jdg - O0O
Very nice.

Barnadine - Heartbeat
Some beautiful bits. Bit trippy in parts too

Marlkeford - Sleekmonth
Excellent. Made me smile a lot.

Erki - Fly
Music to give Vangellis (or Frank Ellis as he’s known here) a run for his money.

Sorry to the others I didn’t get around to checking out. Oh and Sascha’s right, that sambaweb site just crashed my Mac most times so I hardly got to listen to any of those tunes.

See you soon

I was thinking more Brazil

Oh, and thanks for the feedback on my piss-take track. FYI in the rush I couldn't find a mic and ended up recording the vocs into my vid cam - I just saw the footage - terminally embarrassing.

[bastien]

Bastien - Ninety- Four
Dark & lovely.

It ought to be - it's got your mighty 'imp' and 'odd' all over it!

Cheers for the vote!

Andreas E - Sweet Summer Rain

... being a M-Tron based track. Thanks, Dave.

[Beardedone]

Beardedone - Jubwha
Nice arrangement. Love some of those piano chords and brass section riffs.

Thanks much Dave. The arrangement was the main point to me. Thanks for noticing. I was going to work in a solo but I felt it would be too distracting.

Cheers,
Gordon

Very interesting with some great progressions. Good vibe too.

Thanks a lot. Nice that you noticed the chord-things.

[respirator]

thomasc_dk always love your stuff, i think somewhere you used the phrase 'grooving wrongly' to describe another of your pieces - funny how those words somehow seem to make sense and it's surely not a bad thing. i hope you give us more of your vocal ouevre soon.

Thanks! I'll try to overcome my problems with my own voice and do some actual singing.
