ClairvoyantCat: Martin Greche - I Am Chromosome
Holy fucking awesome. It was pretty relevant to the topic, and musically it was absolutely killer. Great interplay between metal, atmospheric piano, and the distorted electronics really added to it as well. Definitely going to have to check this album out in full.

Total: 7/8jingle.boy: Dec Burke - Secret Lives
Interesting style. The vocals, synths, and guitar tone gave off kind of a standard-fare prog metal vibe, but the drums and songwriting we a bit different. Either way though, I dug the song, though the production was a little off putting. The solo at the end was probably my favorite part. I'm not sure how relevant it really was however.

lol. Just, lol. The music was kinda meh, but the lyrics were god damn genius. I'd quote the best lines, but it'd basically just be the entire song.

Absolutely perfect submission. Charming instrumentation, but with a really dark vibe. That's all I can say.

Hmm. I really have no idea what to say about this song. I mean, I liked it I guess, but beyond that I really don't know. It was just kinda there. Still fairly relevant though.

Definitely nailed the topic, but the music didn't do a ton for me. It wasn't bad by any means, and I really liked the female backing vocals actually. However, all this doesn't matter cause you didn't like Shpongle, so you get -2 points.

Awwwww yeah. Didn't find the song particularly relevant to be honest, but the music was so great it didn't matter. Exactly the kind of EBM/electro type stuff I need more of.

I'd heard the song before years ago, but never really got into it. Unfortunately, coming back to it again didn't really help anything. Somewhat fitting to the topic, but the music is just kinda there.
