Hello guys. Welcome to my roulette. If you're expecting a super-bombastic roulette with intricate plot twists, stunning visuals, and swift 3D action, you've come to the wrong place. This is just a good old fashioned roulette, although I might add a few interesting rounds if I get ideas.

Anyways, no music sites here, so this might be a challenge for you. So here is a list of off limits bands alphabetized for your convenience (note that "The's" are in Ts and "A's" are in As. That's how the alphabetizer did it):

I'm sure I'm missing quite a few, but hey, can't say I didn't try. The rules are basic, I'll make the rounds as I go.

5 points: 1 person
4, 3, 2: 2 people each
1 point: 1 poor soul

Our players are:

Gorille
Nekov
kari
AcidRainLTE
obscure
ariich
YBS
DTVT
Ravenheart

THE FIRST ROUND IS:

Send me something with a string instruments. Violin, viola, cello, double bass. It can be at any point, or any amount of instruments, although I prefer if it's in the focus at least a little at when it's there (or if it's for the whole song). Good luck guys.

Nekov · « **Reply #1 on:** March 07, 2012, 07:32:03 PM »

Yay, more roulettes. First round song sent.

jingle.boy · « **Reply #2 on:** March 07, 2012, 08:01:55 PM »

inb4 Nekov sends the best song.

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #3 on:** March 07, 2012, 08:04:02 PM »

Well he does have a music taste quite in touch with my proggy tastes. Haha.

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #4 on:** March 07, 2012, 08:10:24 PM »

Ravenheart is now in as well because he's cool and stuff.

Ravenheart · « **Reply #5 on:** March 07, 2012, 08:16:04 PM »

dis mah ride dis mah crib dese mah hoes

jingle.boy · « **Reply #6 on:** March 07, 2012, 08:18:45 PM »

Inb4 Z wins.

Dr. DTVT · « **Reply #7 on:** March 07, 2012, 08:23:17 PM »

I think the fact that Zander won Nick's roulette, then won mine largely with songs that I'm pretty sure Nick would hate tells me that aside from having musical taste, he is very good at zeroing in on what people like.

Also, sent.

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #8 on:** March 07, 2012, 08:41:42 PM »

Oh, and the max time for a song is 20 minutes.

Listening to the first 3 songs sent, I can already tell this is gonna be a tough one.

YtseBitsySpider · « **Reply #9 on:** March 07, 2012, 09:06:46 PM »

I assume you are right. I know it as double bass, but yeah it's basically the largest of the string instruments.

YtseBitsySpider · « **Reply #11 on:** March 07, 2012, 09:14:18 PM »

well...at least I got the instruments right.
I went with an old classic.

I need to think through today!

But I'm a player in roulette ... YAY!!!!

ariich · « **Reply #15 on:** March 08, 2012, 12:50:34 AM »

Really looking forward to this one!

I'll have a think and send you something tonight.

Zander also won my roulette. I think it's the hair.

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #18 on:** March 08, 2012, 03:01:54 PM »

I guess I'll go 3 people with 3 points now.

ariich · « **Reply #19 on:** March 08, 2012, 04:29:40 PM »

Sent.

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #20 on:** March 08, 2012, 09:15:36 PM »

DAMMIT NICK

Re-sent.

obscure · « **Reply #22 on:** March 09, 2012, 04:11:33 AM »

obscure · « **Reply #23 on:** March 09, 2012, 04:53:36 PM »

Sent.

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #24 on:** March 09, 2012, 04:54:28 PM »

Everyone's in! I don't know if I'm going out tonight, but if I am the results will be tomorrow. Otherwise, tonight.

kári · « **Reply #25 on:** March 10, 2012, 03:10:14 AM »

Cool!

Nekov · « **Reply #26 on:** March 10, 2012, 05:51:16 AM »

Nice. I love when roulettes start on a good rythm

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #27 on:** March 10, 2012, 09:50:42 AM »

Alright, here are your writeups. I really enjoyed every song sent, so this was hard for me.

5 points:

Gorille: Ulver - Eos
Holy christ was this ever good. It was very dark and depressing throughout, and the last few minutes when the strings got louder was just perfect ending to the song (and reminded me sorta of Sigur Ros, only with a deep voiced singer). I find Garm (that's what he's called, right?) has a very unique kind of deepness in his voice, and it really complimented the music well. 5 points for you!

4 points:

DTVT: Grayceon - Shellmounds
I've been pretty interested in checking this band out for a while now. This was a really awesome and epic proggy metal song, and I found the cello to be very effective in making the song what it was. I gotta say the intro was my favourite part, it's really a fantastic way to lead into the rest of the song. 4 points.

kari: Vampire Weekend - M79
This song made me

all over. The strings gave it this really cool baroque pop feel and this was just simply a really cheery song. I'm interested in checking this band out now.

3 points:

obscure: Lyriel - Paranoid Circus
This was quite a cool song. The girl had quite a beautiful voice and the strings really complimented the rest of the music well and gave it a cool, dark, creepy feel. They seem like a really interesting band that I might have to check out.

Ravenheart: Emilie Simon - Sweet Blossom
This was an enjoyable song. She sounded kinda like Kate Bush for a bit, but I stopped thinking that part way through the song, haha. Kinda reminds me of Emilie Autumn in a way, only less

.

Nekov: Darryl Way's Wolf - Two Sisters
A great 70's prog song. He's a great violinist and he performed nicely on this track. I don't know what else to say other than I enjoyed it.

2 points:

YtseBitsySpider: Psycho theme
This was an interesting submission to say the least. It was short, creepy song, as it's obviously going for, and I enjoyed it.

AcidLameLTE: Clint Mansell - Death is the Road to Awe
I'm sure this is much better than I'm giving it credit for. I thought it was quite beautiful and the last bit was great. Maybe it took a while to get to that point though for me.

1 point:

ariich: Tori Amos - Battle of Trees
Sorry bro. I've been interested in checking out Tori for some time now but never have. It was a nice song and all and I enjoyed it, but I think it might have overstayed itself just a tad. Still, nothing to dissolve my interests in her.

Gorille: 5 points
DTVT: 4 points
kari: 4 points
obscure: 3 points
Ravenheart: 3 points
Nekov: 3 points
YtseBitsySpider: 2 points
AcidRainLTE: 2 points
ariich: 1 point

Round 2:
Up here in Canada, it is still very much winter (and maybe down in the states or UK or wherever else you guys are from, I don't know). I want a song you interpret as carrying a wintery feel in the music. gogogo

Nekov · « **Reply #28 on:** March 10, 2012, 10:49:07 AM »

Glad you liked it. This round will be tough as I hate winter.

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #29 on:** March 10, 2012, 11:42:57 AM »

Yeah I understand it might be hard for some. If you really can't think of a pure winter song, just thing of something vaguely winter-esque.

ClairvoyantCat · « **Reply #30 on:** March 10, 2012, 11:56:38 AM »

This round is the perfect opportunity for a Tori Amos redemption from someone, hint hint

obscure · « **Reply #31 on:** March 10, 2012, 11:59:03 AM »

YAY! Glad that you liked!

I like the new theme for some reason... although nothing came to mind right away... but I like to go through my library anyway!

Haha. I could totally see myself going for a shorter song like that, just that one went a little long.

kári · « **Reply #33 on:** March 10, 2012, 12:30:56 PM »

Cool, glad you liked it.

I have tons of what I consider winter songs so it'll be hard to pick one!

Nekov · « **Reply #34 on:** March 10, 2012, 12:57:11 PM »

Sent song. Expectig the lowest score.
