Title: Kattelox's 3.5 KISS Tournament Roulette - Post-Roulette: Puppies_On_Albums

"Keep it simple, stupid."

You know what my least favorite part of roulettes are? Making banned lists and figuring out a scoring system that is both fair and won't be a hassle to work with. "So, K-boy, what do?" TAC might ask. Easy! NO SCORING SYSTEM! And the BANNED LIST will be reduced significantly.

Instead, we're gonna fight to the death, tournament style. Best song wins, simple as that. Two men enter, one man leaves. Welcome to the Thunderdome, mofos.

HOW THIS ROULETTE WORKS:
- all rounds until semifinals are single song
- last 4 contestants submit a themed EP of their choosing; no restriction on amount of songs or interludes, can be from one artist or many, literally the only restriction is that it cannot be over 30 minutes long. You have a 5 second window of leniency on that rule and that's it.
- last 2 contestants submit an album of their choosing; it can be a story, it can be a bunch of songs unconnected to each other, it can be a bunch of songs loosely connected by a theme but not musically or stylistically. I want you to be creative and make me something that you can have fun with but think I might enjoy. Can be a collection of songs from one artist or a bunch. I do not care. Literally the only rule is that it cannot be longer than 60 minutes. Again, you have a 5 second window of leniency on that rule and that's it.

I forgot to mention that I would like to have a 'freebie' round in round 1. Only one person here hasn't played in one of my roulettes, some people have played before but have barely sent anything or haven't played in years, others have played in every one, so I want to give everybody a fair chance. If you've already sent a song, you're more than welcome to send a different one if you'd like since I forgot to include this in the first post.

Here's all you have to do:
1. Check my Last.FM (https://www.last.fm/user/empathica1928) page. This will give you a good idea of the music I like.
2. Check my RateYourMusic (https://rateyourmusic.com/~Firewings) page. If an artist has been rated 4 stars or higher on any of their records, they are banned, do not send them. If I have rated at least three of a band's records, regardless of rating, they are banned. It's quite possible you will send me something by an artist that slips past those criteria, but I reserve the right to deny them (Richie Kotzen's solo career is a perfect example, I love his music but he slips past these rules. Hank Williams, Jr. is another - he's not on RYM but I've heard enough now to know that I like him as an artist). I really hope this will make it easier for people to send artists. The 'massive huge banlist' post is too much of a hassle for me to bother writing right now and it'll allow a lot more music to be sent.
3. Please don't send songs over 10 minutes. Save it for the EPs and final round, but I'll take a 10 minute song earlier if I absolutely have to. You have a 5 second window of leniency. Do not send me a 10:12 song and expect me to take it.

SUBMIT VIA SPOTIFY if possible. Otherwise, YouTube links or direct downloads are cool. These days I do almost all of my listening through Spotify.

Tips & Taste

1. My willingness to try new things has absolutely exploded in the last few months. I've listened to over 120 new records since late December, I've found myself in love with atmospheric black metal, synthwave, and jazz fusion. (Everyone in my last roulette sent some amazing stuff out of left field, a lot of which I still listen to and love) Prog metal in the vein of Ihlo, VOLA, Voyager, Subsignal, etc. is my jam. I do not like dark, mopey, angsty prog music. If you value your place in this roulette you will keep that last point in mind :)

2. Piggybacking off of point 1, I have listened to a wide range of genres and styles lately, everything from pop to atmospheric black metal to neoclassical darkwave and country and synthpop and everything else. I don't like everything I hear, but I am an extremely curious listener and don't always have a rational reason for why I dislike something, even if it sounds very similar to something I love. Please don't take it personally if I do not enjoy your submission. Anything with harsh vocals is a complete wildcard, I could love it or hate it.

3. Please don't send songs over 10 minutes. Again, save that shit for the last two rounds if you think you can make it that far. I'll take a rule from the EP/concept rounds and say you have a 5 second window of leniency for sending a 10 minute song. Don't send a 10:12 and expect me to take it!

3. This was my final update to my 'top 20 of 2019' list:

1. Twilight Force - Dawn of the Dragonstar
2. Avantasia - Moonglow
3. Voyager - Colours in the Sun
4. Tycho - Weather
5. NorthTale - Welcome To Paradise
6. Taylor Swift - Lover
7. Dream Theater - Distance Over Time
8. Lana Del Rey - Norman F***ing Rockwell!
9. Galneryus - Into The Purgatory
10. Turilli / Lione Rhapsody - Zero Gravity (Rebirth & Evolution)
11. Lauri Porra Flyover Ensemble - Dust
12. The Comet Is Coming - Trust in the Lifeforce of the Deep Mystery
13. Eternity's End - Unyielding
14. Wilderun - Veil of Imagination
15. Leprous - Pitfalls
16. Opeth - In Cauda Venenum
17. Illyria - The Carpathian Summit
18. Majestica - Above The Sky
19. MASTER BOOT RECORD - Internet Protocol
20. Devin Townsend - Empath

4. Here are my favorite records of 2020 so far in no particular order except #1:

1. Eminem - Music To Be Murdered By (rap)
2. Annihilator - Ballistic, Sadistic (thrash metal)
3. Dustbowl Revival - Is It You, Is It Me (Americana/pop/country)
4. Unreqvited - Mosaic II (La Déteste Et La Détresse) (atmospheric black metal)
5. Jørn - Heavy Rock Radio II: Executing the Classics (hard rock)
6. Monolithe - Okta Khora (melodic death/doom metal)
7. Richie Kotzen - 50 for 50 (blues/funk/rock/fusion)
8. Delain - Apocalypse & Chill (symphonic metal)

That's the point - I don't want a very long roulette this time, but I've wanted to do a bracket-style roulette for a while. Met in the middle :) you're in!

(Ideally everybody who played last time will sign up for this. Big Hath and romdrums and Buddyhunter in particular, because I don't think they played in any of my other roulettes and I still feel bad that they only got to play for 3 rounds. Really dug their submissions.)

Since this is gonna be a short one either way I'm totally in. Time to go deep into my library and dust off some of the power metal bands I listened to when I was younger
Title: Re: Kattelox's 3.5 KISS Tournament Roulette - SIGN UP!
Post by: The Walrus on February 14, 2020, 10:32:33 AM
Yay, Buddy and Nekov! Nekov... proceed with caution. Sending power metal is almost as risky as sending emo prog right about now. Chances are you might have a few gems, but that might be the genre I'm the MOST picky about. Fair warning, I'm totally game though!

how do you want us to submit songs? spotify, youtube, direct download, something else?

Spotify above all else, no question. If it's not on Spotify for whatever reason, YouTube works, then direct download or whatever else if that fails, too.

"You see, Ronnie, his dick is the gun!" - no Love Gun round, but they're not banned.

Although I recently confessed to Stadler I would be keeping an eye out for specific KISS records for my newfound turntable, so, there's that.

RJ! Finally! Was wondering if you'd ever play in mine again  :lol

Only 65 more, thanks ariich :) Lethean hasn't played since my first roulette, or home or tomi if I remember correctly... it would be cool if they played.

By the way to quickly figure out if K-boi has heard something before you can use the following last.fm link, just replace the last section with the band name you want to figure out and use '+' as the word separator:

Thanks for that Train, yeah, that's a very useful tip to know.

I forgot to mention that I would like to have a 'freebie' round in round 1. Only one person here hasn't played in one of my roulettes, some people have played before but have barely sent anything or haven't played in years, others have played in every one, so I want to give everybody a fair chance. If you've already sent a song, you're more than welcome to send a different one if you'd like since I forgot to include this in the first post.

In the meantime, I present you the bracket for round 1. Remember, you're not immediately in danger. You can test the waters with round 1.

I don't completely understand the round 1 freebie thing, does it mean that our scores for the first song we submit will practically be useless? Will bands that do well get banned from future rounds (a.k.a. is this a round where people can cockblock other people's bands)? If that's the case I would very much like to re-submit :lol

I'm pretty sure I'm that one player who hasn't played your roulette before so maybe I'm too dumb to understand, sorry

Post by: The Walrus on February 16, 2020, 09:20:22 AM
Train, what I mean by 'freebie' is that no one will get eliminated right away. It's for the benefit of people like you and lonestar (who hasn't played since my first roulette, and got eliminated in the very first 'culling' round of that one), and home who hasn't played since the first roulette.

Bands submitted in this round won't be banned after this one. I'll only start banning artists after this round is done. Essentially, nothing you do this round will have an impact later - it's just to save your ass because some people here know very well what I like and others don't really have a clue. Test the waters.

Basically, king nailed it. I have a wide musical taste.

Basically yeah. This round would be more meaningful if I was using scores or taking the best song of the two, but I'm not. Simple in and out, easy breezy freebie round.  :biggrin:

Since I won't have to worry about scores, and just what I like more, I'll have results in a few days, probably at the end of the week, with the new bracket and all that. I might write down hints about how I see the match-ups going after one spin to each song.

good luck whoever sent Supertramp/Child of Vision.  I sent School in roulette #2, and Katt hated it.  That's gotta be Stads... or King.

That's because you sent School, which blows, and I sent Child of Vision, which rules.   HAHAHA.

I just saw Roger the other night (Saturday) and he was SO GOOD.   School was the second song - it was excellent, I was just busting on you - and he did CoV about 2/3 of the way through the set (the jam at the end - why I sent it - got a standing ovation).  I was blown away at how good he was.  Two hours of well-played, solid music, delivered by a humble, thankful person who was clearly having a ball and was happy to be there.

Yeah which is why I'm waiting for it to go on sale. I used to play Matt Makes Games's games for free after school back in the day, dang it. It was like $10 on the Switch eshop over the holidays but I missed it, so I'll snag it when it's mad cheap again

Also Train sent a 12 minute fucking song which I guess technically is okay since it doesn't really matter this time  :lol

Some of these are more obvious and meaningful than others, of course. Results in a couple days 'cause there's a lot of meat on these bones despite being a freebie round

1. The sonic texture of this piece is absolutely delightful

2. Fortunately for you, you get a second chance. This is almost headache-inducing

3. Some of the singing was questionable at first but I dug this in a big way when it wrapped; they dropped the beat and never picked it back up

4. A slam dunk demonstration of understanding what tickles my fancy - was this a fluke or a preview of what's to come?

5. I can tell these guys want to be another band very very much but I can dig it

6. *that moment in the first Austin Powers movie where he has headphones on then tries to play a CD on a turntable*

7. Oh shit... this sucks

8. A lovely interpretation

9. A pleasant song - but if this were for real, your competition would have crushed this

10. I liked the beginning most

11. It's funny how much one instrument can turn a song around

12. *blinks in what*

13. The music video for this song is a montage of some dude with a bad mustache in the 80s doing coke in the gym bathroom between sets. This is a very fun song

14. Appreciating the collaboration with a recent favorite discovery. This is just right for chilling out

15. This one is pleasant but weird. Sounds so 90s to me

16. Sounds like they've been listening to Leprous compared to the last time I heard these guys

MATCH 1: PUPPIES_ON_ACID VS. ROMDRUMS

Puppies_On_Acid: Laster - Vacuum=/=Behoud

6. *that moment in the first Austin Powers movie where he has headphones on then tries to play a CD on a turntable*

Well. There's nothing to counter the relentless onslaught of loudness here. This is a cacophony.

romdrums: Gojira - Global Warming
16. Sounds like they've been listening to Leprous compared to the last time I heard these guys

Last time I listened to Gojira I was a teenager and it sounded way, way heavier than this. The melodic groove in the arpeggiated riff reeks of Leprous to me which is awesome. I really liked this.

HYPOTHETICAL WINNER: romdrums. I did not have fun with Laster

---

MATCH 2: SACUL VS. LONESTAR

Sacul: Have A Nice Life - Bloodhail

15. This one is pleasant but weird. Sounds so 90s to me

Super Sacul music. Very chill but I'm struggling to put a genre to this kind of music so it's weird. Has a pleasant vibe but paints a dirty (not lewd) image in my head

lonestar: Absolute Priority - Fear of the Night
5. I can tell these guys want to be another band very very much but I can dig it

These guys totally want to be Queensryche. They're close. I don't think the hook is strong enough to support a 7 and a half minute song but the solos are good and the singer does a good imitation of Geoff Tate.

HYPOTHETICAL WINNER: Sacul's got it in this matchup. Bloodhail's vibe is much more pleasant to me, even if for whatever reason it makes me think of grimy 1990s city streets

---

MATCH 3: HOME VS. TAC

home: Frank Ocean - Self Control

3. Some of the singing was questionable at first but I dug this in a big way when it wrapped; they dropped the beat and never picked it back up

Yeah some of the higher vocal parts wqere a turnoff at first but I came around after a while. Still not crazy about them but otherwise this is a really nice song. I was expecting slick beats and huge hooks but it's not that at all. It's a very chill song which I appreciate. I'm trying to listen to more popular artists like Frank Ocean so it's cool to hear something unexpected like this

TAC: Blondie - Contact in Red Square
7. Oh shit... this sucks

I don't like this woman's voice at all and this band has a weird plucky energy that doesn't vibe with me. No me gusta.

HYPOTHETICAL WINNER: the blondie, home, made contact with TAC in Red Square and, losing all self control, obliterated him into Frank's ocean.

---

MATCH 4: ARIICH VS. STADLER

ariich: Nested Shapes/Ihlo - Reanimate (Nested Shapes Remix)

8. A lovely interpretation

This is good. Really good. I dig the hell out of that Ihlo record, but I think I like this remix of Reanimate more than the original version. Makes me want more remixes of prog metal stuff in this vein.

Stadler: Supertramp - Child of Vision
4. A slam dunk demonstration of understanding what tickles my fancy - was this a fluke or a preview of what's to come?

(https://i.imgur.com/15jsTW9.jpg)

HYPOTHETICAL WINNER: I really liked ariich's submission. I LOVED Stadler's.

MATCH 5: NEKOV VS. TOMISLAV95

Nekov: Lazerhawk - Feel the Rush Tonight

14. Appreciating the collaboration with a recent favorite discovery. This is just right for chilling out

Ohhh yeah. Gunship was probably my favorite discovery of my last roulette, at least in the running. Synthwave is a genre I do not mind slower/mid-tempo music. In metal it's usually a recipe for boredom but it's the exact opposite case here. Me gusta mucho. Shiny music.

Tomislav95: Love - Alone Again Or
11. It's funny how much one instrument can turn a song around

I love the trumpet here, it's the secret sauce that turns it from just another soft-rock/Simon & Garfunkel-type lalala song into this interesting, flavorful western-tinged jaunt. Compared to a lot of stuff in this round this is refreshingly simple and easily memorable.

HYPOTHETICAL WINNER: It's close. Really close. But I gotta go with Nekov and Lazerhawk. The vibe of Love's song is pleasant, but Lazerhawk is the kind of music I can see myself playing repeatedly.

---

MATCH 6: ELITE VS. JINGLE.BOY

Elite: Mr. Bungle - Desert Search for Techno Allah

12. *blinks in what*

Oh man, yeah... this is weird. So, as a novelty listen it's pretty cool and engaging because it keeps switching up, but I think that's the exact reason I would never be able to listen to a whole album of this or play this stuff often. It relentlessly shifts gears and transforms into something else, which is admirable, but it's a bit much for me. Love the way it comes together at the end, though.

jingle.boy: Frankie Goes to Hollywood - Two Tribes
13. The music video for this song is a montage of some dude with a bad mustache in the 80s doing coke in the gym bathroom between sets. This is a very fun song

This song made me laugh the first time I heard it. It just sounds so over-the-top and like it was made for an 80s action montage or the colorful scene I painted above. But it's actually catchy and has big energy. It's unabashedly 80s and I kind of love that.

HYPOTHETICAL WINNER: As corny as jingle's song is, it is at least memorable with a consistent structure. Elite's song is cool from an artistic perspective, but not as fun to listen to.

---

MATCH 7: CYRIL VS. TRAIN OF NAUGHT

Cyril: A Novelist - Caveat Lector

2. Fortunately for you, you get a second chance. This is almost headache-inducing

Damn it. I don't like this vocalist's style of harsh vocals and that kind of kills the song for me tbh. I think I would like it otherwise because there is some cool guitar stuff in there

Train of Naught: White Ward - Love Exchange Failure
10. I liked the beginning most

I played this right after Supertramp, so the first 3.5 minutes, I was all like, Yes! YES!... then it got super heavy and I found myself looking at the runtime several times as we ran over the 10 minute mark, eventually ending at 12. I am all about the first 3.5 minutes, and some of the heaviness is nice, but almost 9 solid minutes of it almost broke me.

HYPOTHETICAL WINNER: Train by virtue of having the equivalent of half the duration of Cyril's song's worth of dope music.

---

MATCH 8: KINGSHMEGLAND VS. BUDDYHUNTER1

kingshmegland: The Rembrandts - Waiting to be Opened

9. A pleasant song - but if this were for real, your competition would have crushed this

Yeah, this is a nice song. I like it! It's fun and hooky and inoffensive, and it was particularly good to play on the road out in the country. However...

Buddyhunter1: Lena Raine/in love with a ghost - Golden Ridge (Golden Feather Mix)
1. The sonic texture of this piece is absolutely delightful

Most chiptune music I've heard desperately wants to be the MegaMan 2 soundtrack. This is refreshing and channels the vibe of one of my favorite electronic songs (Sapient Dream by Slushii). One of these days I'll play Celeste. I love a good video game soundtrack but I'm really picky, and fortunately I love everything about this.

HYPOTHETICAL WINNER: Buddy. That shit is silky smoov.

the funny thing about that song in celeste is that it's for the first b-side that's really just. absolutely out for your blood, trying to kick your butt into next week

also yeah about what i expected, hence why i don't plan to send anything like it for the rest of the roulette  :lol

My original result writeup was just, "This isn't synthwave???" but I wanted to be more thoughtful  :lol

I had no idea that Gojira song was from 2005. I think the first time I listened to them was in 07.  :rollin

Also nothing is banned from this round but use your best judgment, just sayin' :neverusethis:

But I'm not gonna lie I had half a mind using White Ward at some point so I'm happy I used it in this round, now time for something 'safer'

So, I was looking at that long ass roulette I was robbed off to check if I had sent some bands and saw this comment

Final Thoughts: You consistently held the first place spot for most of this roulette, and I was sure you were going to hang onto it even at the end. You also were the only one to get me to listen to a full album in the middle of the roulette with fox capture plan. It seems like almost all of your songs came out of left field from artists I've never read about anywhere online, and yet they impressed the hell out of me, so I'm really glad you played in this. You expanded my electronic music knowledge a lot with a bunch of songs that I love. You'll get partial immunity if I run another roulette.

#1 favorite submission: fox capture plan - Asian Dancer


Just thought it would be relevant  ;D

I can't help but notice you don't have any Ulver albums on RYM yet they were in your banlist from your previous roulette... how much of their stuff are you familiar with?

Post by: The Walrus on February 20, 2020, 10:57:21 AM
Unfortunately, I think I made mention of that in my last one that I don't think you participated in unfortunately, and before this one started I clarified to Sacul that it's a clean slate now  :lol

That said Nekov is one of only two people to get me to drop the roulette playlist to go check out an artist's full album, the other being Cyril with Gunship's Dark All Day. That's pretty f'ing good.

Ulver: very very little. I banned them from the last one because the couple of songs I had heard were pretty good and I made note to check out those albums later. Ulvsblakk and Eos are what I know. Eos especially is amazing.

That Ihlo remix reminded me to check out that album again and I'll echo the statements that the album gets much better after the first three songs (that I still think are really derivative and also kinda garbage) and that the remix is much better than the original Reanimate (I'm pretty sure those rap verses were what made me stop the album the first time :lol )

I'll reveal what it is after I get the last of the submissions so I don't inadvertently give one or two people a potential advantage. But, I thought it worth mentioning, since there are still a lot of famous and very popular artists I am not totally familiar with. And we actually have a couple of those for this upcoming round...

Agreed.  The three album trajectory from Saturday Night Wrist to Koi No Yokan is so good.  Gore was such a let down though.

The only feels I don't really like in metal are that emo Katatonia-type "life is pain, oh, i am without feeling" stuff most of the time although Katatonia has their moments

No I didn't and I have receipts to prove it! Tomislav sent Nick Cave, and literally moments before I posted the match-ups, Dacul sent his third submission. The first two songs he tried sending, he sent in my last roulette. So he went with another NC song.  :lol

Buddy should win match 8 imo

 :heart
I didn't really like anything else on that album but that one song was good

It's definitely the best one on there but Lorem Ipsum, Air On Line, and We Die (though I don't think you made it that far) are also great. And a few others are pretty good too.
Nice new avatar also  :rollin

Round 3.  I love the craft from home: FKA twigs but just not my style.

I like the instrumentation from Insomnium but fucking hate growls throughout the whole song.

Tim only wins because I like the music but if I had my choice both would not make the cut.

Wow, including my own I only know 4 out of 16 songs here! And not a single matchup where I know both.

So I guess I will be rooting for FKA twigs, Mile Marker Zero and Coheed & Cheese by default, those are all ace songs anyway

Shadows of A Dying Sun, Across the Dark and One For Sorrow are all wonderful records.  Out to the Sea is a bonus track from Shadows of A Dying Sun.  Winter's Gate is phenominal too if you're up for a 40 minute song.

The older stuff is quality too particulary Above the Weeping World.  A bit harder too the older stuff.

Winter's Gate is not something you listen to once, took so many listens to reaveal its magic.  Shadows seems to be their most rated but Sorrow and Dark I rate above them.  The new one is my fav so yeah maybe not really a band for you if you didn't love that one.

Don't get me wrong, it's not bad music, but nothing so far has compelled me to replay the stuff again. I always used to confuse Insomnium with Omnium Gatherum (gee, wonder why  :lol) but the one Omnium Gatherum song I know (Frontiers) is better than every Insomnium song I've ever heard.  :corn

Winter's Gate is really cool.

I've gone back to it about 3 times over the last fortnight and it's even better than it was when it was released. Hearing things in there I never noticed before and it's even more cohesive now than it was before also.  It's brilliant.  They purposely and publicly said they copied the blueprint of Edge of Sanity's Crimson to mould it and while it's a totally different album, they nailed the 40 minute song in their own right.  I was surpsried when they admitted how much of an influence Crimson was but they came up with something of their own.  Great stuff.

Not really musically, just the idea of a cohesive 40 minute song.  Musically I don't hear anything similar, it sounds like epic INsomnium and the strctures and all different and whatnot but yeah, I'd have to find the intereviews but I think the band basically said they wanted to do something different from the normal 10 song album in the same style and were listening a lot to Crimson and drew inspiriation from that for Winter's Gate.

I like it too!  As opposed to the "James Bond" method, where there is a lengthy explanation, then a complicated and not-fool-proof scheme to kill Bond that gives him 60 minutes to think his way out of it.  ;)

(There was a great scene in an early season of The Blacklist, where Red ties a guy to a chair, douses him in gasoline and sticks a cigarette in his mouth.  He lights it, and stands there for a second, then says "I don't have the patience for this", pulls back the cigarette and shoots the guy.)

So yeah, half the results now. Please don't send for the next round til the second half is posted; I still need to give those match-ups more listens. Thanks for playing ya'll, them's the breaks. Hope to see you next time. :)

MATCH 1
---
Puppies_On_Acid: Coheed and Cambria - Key Entity Extraction I: Domino the Destitute
//WINNER// romdrums: The Panic Division - Silver Rings
---
Sorry Pup - romdrums ran away with this. "Silver Rings" by The Panic Division has a great energy to it; it's upbeat and heavy but the vibe is rather delightful, I love the energy this one puts off. "Domino the Destitute" however doesn't change my opinions on Coheed and Cambria. I don't like the singer and the conceptual stuff behind the music is totally uninteresting, which doesn't make these 8 minutes go by any faster... yeah, this band isn't for me. I'm sorry you're gone so early again, Pup :lol - thanks for playing!

***

MATCH 3
---
home: FKA twigs - home with you
//WINNER// TAC: Insomnium - Out to the Sea
---
Wow, this is a match of polar opposites. home's song is delicate and gentle, TAC's is an onslaught of both melodic and guttural heaviness. One is an intimate, slow experience, and the other is a nuclear blast of artistic expression. I'm curious if this song is representative of FKA twigs in general. It's not a bad song, and I dig the mood. But the Insomnium song has several things going on at once that I like - the active and catchy rhythmic elements, the heavy yet melodic lead guitar. The softer bridge is a nice addition. In the end I'm giving it to Insomnium. Thanks for playing, home, sad to see you out so soon though :(

***

MATCH 4
---
ariich: Gabrielle Aplin - Skeleton
//WINNER// Stadler: Billy Joel - Zanzibar
---
The thought of Billy Joel always conjures the sound of punchy, jaunty light rock - there's a lot of that here, but it's the jazzy trumpet solo that sets this apart. Left me leaning back in my chair with the "bruh what" expression on my face. Killer song. Skeleton is a fun, head-boppable pop tune, very inoffensive and catchy. This would fit perfectly in a playlist with Florence + the Machine and some of my other favorite female artists. This is really tough. Both are good songs. I think the highs of Zanzibar, with the trumpet, however, push it just a little bit ahead of Skeleton. Both will make my favorites playlist, though. Thanks for playing again, ariich :)

***

MATCH 5
---
Nekov: Bend Sinister - Best of You
//WINNER// Tomislav95: Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - The Ship Song
---
I dig the Nick Cave, the relaxed groove with the bells and his lower (but not deep) voice is so chill. Big pleasant energy. Bend Sinister sounds like a smorgasbord of different styles blended together into something... frothy. And that's just the first half! At first I thought this song was way too long but with repeated plays I see that it's building to the back half which is mostly one consistent mood held together by a nice vocal hook and a lovely twinkling piano. This one is super close, but I gotta give it to Tomi on this one. Overall, it's just a bit more on the money than Nekov's is. But this was a really tough one. Both make my 'favorites' playlist, so I dug them a lot. Thanks for playing, Nekov! :hug:

Three's a crowd.  On paper I should LOVE Coheed and Cambria, but in real life:  pfffft.   

Katt, I'm really glad you wrote what you did.  I had about three songs in cue to send, and I decided "he has to hear that horn solo, hell or high water".  Good thing it connected.   I have to see who I'm facing before I send the next song, because it isn't going to make a damn bit of difference matters.

Cat people suck. They are the worst in the store. They'll fucking stand in front of the cat food section for a fucking hour picking out Fluffy's menu. Just grab some fucking cans and stop reading every fucking can. And if we're out of fucking tuna supreme, then fucking buy something else because I don't want to fucking hear how your cat really likes tuna supreme.

MATCH 2
---
//WINNER// Dacul: Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Sun Forest
lonestar: Disperse - Message from Atlantis
---
Jesus. RJ, I'm sorry you had to go up against the guy who won my first two roulettes. Message From Atlantis is a really cool song. The guys holding down the rhythms create this very cool musical texture. The soft break has this Opethian style I think they pull off marvelously, and I love the piano in the finale. However... the Nick Cave song has me floored. I think it's the best song of the round. The lyrics are pure poetry. The dark moaning synths paint a desolate landscape behind them. This track sounds gentle but it's really a hulking behemoth of grief. I love it. I even did some reading on the album, and have to hear it now. RJ, please play in my next roulette, I don't think I'll be doing eliminations. :hug:

***

MATCH 6
---
Elite: Avandra - Derelict Minds (feat. Kevin Moore)
//WINNER// jingle.boy: Bruce Springsteen - Jungleland
---
Next to Sacul v. lonestar, Elite v. jingle.boy is the biggest nailbiter of the round for me. Really difficult choosing between these two. Derelict Minds has a fucking sweet riff and great solos with one of my favorite musicians ever guesting. But... BUT! It also sounds a lot like a bunch of other bands, and KevMo doesn't really help it stand out. Very good song, but the competition was something out of left field: a Bruce Springsteen song I've never heard of. But even I know of Clarence Clemons. God damn, that man can play a sax. And I really dig the lyrical side of Bruce Springsteen, although he's from a world I'm just not from, I love the way he can paint a picture, a uniquely American sort of picture, and the music to this little story is the backdrop for a big musical adventure. Those last few minutes almost feel unnecessary with how good the song ends with the sax solo, but that last swell with the piano run justifies it. Definitely got me interested in Springsteen again with this and now I gotta pick up a vinyl or two. Thanks for playing Elite  :biggrin:

***

MATCH 7
---
//WINNER// Cyril: Spanish Love Songs - Losers, Pt. 2
Train of Naught: Arcane Roots - Arp
---
Ooooh man. I went back and forth on this one so many times. "Losers, Pt. 2" is a really catchy song with a big energy about it and the singer has this peculiar, warbly voice that actually manages to fit with the music very well. Normally I'd hate his voice. Lyrically I love it, except for the lyrics in the soft bridge towards the end, which actually makes me roll my eyes and... yeah. Just a personal thing. So that part kind of sucks, but the rest of the song is catchy as fuck. Train's song is really good and has a curious vibe to it, and instrumentally I think I like it more than Cyril's song, actually. However, I can never really recall moments of this when I try to think of it, which is the real killer. It is fun and it's a good song, but Cyril's got the jump on ya this time. Sorry Train. Thanks so much for playing, please check out my next one if I do it, because I'll probably go back to no eliminations then :hug:

***

MATCH 8
---
kingshmegland: Mile Marker Zero - The Architect
//WINNER// Buddyhunter1: Anamanaguchi - Sunset by Plane
---
Buddy's piece starts off reminding me of one of my favorite artists, Tycho. And then it goes into this heavy electronic-metal sort of thing with these calm female vocals over them - I've heard songs like that before, and have no idea if there's a specific name for this type of style. But I dig it. I can vibe to this. king's piece - I dig the grenetic energy on display here. The guitars are doing some wild stuff. But overall, it's not kicking me in the ass the way Anamanaguchi is. I need more keys to add some depth to this guitar-centric piece. Thanks for playing, king!  :hat

if i somehow beat you send me your EP and i'll send it to katt so i don't have to make one myself

Sure, though honestly apart from one artist I think all three of us would enjoy a lot, it might be too risky :lol

Oh well! That song was actually possibly my best shot, so i probably wouldn’t have a good chance at making it super far, but I’m glad you liked the song anyway. The album is absolutely one of the best of the last decade in my opinion.

I may still send an EP when the time comes  :hat back to trying to finally snatching a roulette win again at Puppies’ (a man can hope)

Yeah that's quite a crushing album thematically, and the previous one even moreso. But I think you'd enjoy them, they're gorgeous.

I've got plenty of songs lined up, just need to carefully choose another banger...

Yeah, if anybody still wants to send an EP or an album when the time comes please do. Send it whenever. Or album suggestions for me to check out after the roulette is over. Especially RJ and Train who I'm still super curious about when it comes to their taste since they haven't been in my roulettes very much.  :heart

Threw this together super quickly but I'd say this is about right; the top 3 for sure, and the bottom 3 for sure, everything in the middle is more or less on the same level. Coheed is the only thing I didn't really enjoy; everything from Derelict Minds on up was 'very good' to 'awesome.' Doesn't really mean much but here ya go:

Dacul: Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Sun Forest
romdrums: The Panic Division - Silver Rings
Stadler: Billy Joel - Zanzibar
Cyril: Spanish Love Songs - Losers, Pt. 2
Train of Naught: Arcane Roots - Arp
Tomislav95: Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - The Ship Song
jingle.boy: Bruce Springsteen - Jungleland
Buddyhunter1: Anamanaguchi - Sunset by Plane
lonestar: Disperse - Message from Atlantis
Elite: Avandra - Derelict Minds (feat. Kevin Moore)
Nekov: Bend Sinister - Best of You
ariich: Gabrielle Aplin - Skeleton
TAC: Insomnium - Out to the Sea

kingshmegland: Mile Marker Zero - The Architect

I know RJ hates it  :rollin but I seriously have to give praise to Sun Forest. I can't get enough of this verse and chorus and how beautiful the poetry is:

And a man called Jesus, he promised he would leave us
With a word that would light up the night, oh the night
But the stars hang from threads and blink off one by one
And it isn't any fun, no it isn't any fun
To be standing here alone with nowhere to be
With a man mad with grief and on each side a thief
Everybody hanging from a tree, from a tree
And everybody hanging from a tree
Come on everyone, come on everyone
A spiral of children climb up to the sun, to the sun, to the sun, taking everyone
A spiral of children climbs up to the sun


Or this one:

There is nothing more valuable than beauty they say
There is nothing more valuable than love
And I lie amongst the leaves and the burning trees
And the fields of smoke and the black butterflies
And the screaming horses and your bright green eyes, so beautiful
Ah your bright green eyes, so beautiful


That's just quality writing, man.

I get he's not popular around here and we're busting balls, but Eminem remains relevant on his 11th damn album and sounds more fresh and full of ideas than most metal and prog out there, and his lyrics are really good unlike, again, most metal and prog and rock out there. And there is some phenomenal rhythmic and lyrical content on his new record. Quite literally the best release of 2020 that I've heard by a country mile, and I've heard over 60 so far.

Good luck in the next round, Chad :jamaritard:

I get it more from his singing style...kind of half way between singing and talking, which Reed was fond of (and I never really got). Didn't know his son died, that fits into the bleakness of the track for sure. The whole thing in general, both tracks, are just so far out of what I like in general that I just couldn't see digging into them any further.


Toying with the idea of an EP for Katt so he can see what other songs of mine he could have cut me with :p

As a guy with a deeper voice I really dig the approach Nick Cave uses on Sun Forest; I also love the minimal change in contour of the vocal melody, it's very somber and timid and almost unable to move very much which matches the lyrical content and mood of the narrator perfectly. I really can't get enough of it personally. It's very much the kind of music I'd like to write actually  :corn

don't settle is one of the best songs i received last roulette (probably second only to glass beach) whereas everything off both those 22 EPs were.... songs, so i wouldn't be surprised if that's the match in question you're referring to.

i hope it's not my match, where i got dunked on, but it probably is  :corn

That Brickyard Road song might not be better than the song I sent but it's pretty great  :tup

Then again, it might be.   :biggrin:

Pretty sure that track almost got you hacked from my roulette...

Haha holy shit!  Why did I visit in here? 

Fun fact, Savage Garden duo Daniel and Darren are from where I live.  Darren worked in a cd shop before meeting Daniel and forming the band that was 15 minutes away from my house and 5 minutes away from where I work.  The location of this store is/was one of the roughest and sketchiest areas in QLD.  Was a great store and I purchased quite a few albums there back in the day.  Surprisingly had a lot of great metal.  Of course, it closed down about 4 years ago.

MATCH 1 // romdrums v Sacul
romdrums: 22 - Staying Embodied
Sacul: Glen Hansard - Don't Settle

These two were neck and neck for the whole round. Gotta make a call, though. 22's song is pleasant. It has a really nice upbeat vibe, the hook isn't as strong as I'd like it to be, but man it's a fun song especially while driving. Glen Hansard is a bit of a looming giant though based on what I've heard, and as expected, it grew on me in a big way. The song is like a rain storm that steadily grows into a torrential downpour of emotion. Powerful stuff.

Winner: Sacul!

romdrums, thanks for playing. Love the stuff you've sent in my roulettes, unfortunately, Sacul came swinging hard this round. I hope you play again.

***

MATCH 2 // TAC v Stadler
TAC: Be'lakor - From Scythe to Sceptre
Stadler: Elton John - Ticking

Or "Dunked On By Elton John." Amorphis's "Majestic Beast" is about the most I can handle in growls. Be'lakor is straddling the line, it's a bit unpleasant for me at times, but the riffing is nice. Just doesn't do much for me in the end though. The Elton John piece is a fantastic number, this is a home run. That bright piano sound of Elton's is lovely, the lyrics are touching, and it's just upbeat enough to get away with the runtime. Standout song of the round.

Winner: Stadler!

TAC, good effort, buddy, I see where you were coming from with the Be'lakor. Thanks for playing. Always love having you play! :D

***

MATCH 3 // Tomislav95 v jingle.boy
Tomislav95: Sharon Van Etten - Seventeen
jingle.boy: Johnny Van Zant - Brickyard Road

I've never heard of Sharon Van Etten before but this was a really nice song and I'm curious to hear more of her work if this is indicative of her typical sound. Her voice reminds me of several different women. Definitely going on my playlist of favorites. The Johnny Van Zant tune got me choked up a few times in the back half. Reminds me of my sister, reminds me of my brother, makes me think about my whole family, really.

Winner: By a pube... jingle.boy!

Tomislav95, thanks for playing, man. Sorry you're out, but I hope you play next time. Thanks for the good tunes :tup

***

MATCH 4 // Cyril v Buddyhunter1
Cyril: PUP - Scorpion Hill
Buddyhunter1: Ulver - Coming Home

So painfully close that the only reason I'm picking one is because that's the rules and I'm down to the wire. Both are awesome songs that I enjoy a whole lot for wildly different reasons. The PUP song reminds me of a friend of mine in a massive way, hell even the style of music is exactly the stuff he would crank up. If this counts as some form of punk, then I like this kind of punk as opposed to the more hardcore stuff. The Ulver track is on the other end of the spectrum. Low key, fuzzy, dark, almost drippy at times. I dig the vibe as it rolls into the back half. It takes a little while to pick up steam, though.

Winner: By a mouse turd... Cyril!

Buddy, man, hard fought. Really good stuff sent this roulette, but you had some equally fierce competition. Hope you come back again, the video game twist was a fresh and much welcome addition to the mix.

Semifinal/EP round: submit a themed EP of your choosing. There are no restrictions on number of songs or interludes. You can send one or many artists, I don't care. It cannot be more than 30 minutes long; you can go over by 5 seconds, but that's the hard limit. Creativity goes a long way, and the more apparent or cohesive your EP is with the theme you're going with, the more it will factor in deciding the winner. It could be that thing that just pushes you into the final round. Good luck! Take your time creating it; this round will last longer than the first ones, and if you need more time to create, I can wait a few days. Send when you can.

Yeah, man, it's just not on my preferred end of the harsh vox spectrum. I like that Amorphis tune and some of that Opeth stuff, but generally I prefer the screaming over that. When it sounds like intestinal rumbling, I begin to check out. Still, the drumming and riffing was a'ight.

I've tried listening to Stone's Reach a few times at different points and it's never done much for me as a whole
I got a song from it in one roulette originally and I was kinda lukewarm on it there too

I realize I have thus far derailrd two trains. I don't have any more trains left to derail thus my work here is done and I shall promotly get jingled out of existence

Whatever, song still sucks. Not as bad as La Mer, but it sucks. Which probably means La Mer would be ideal, Katt seems to go for those slow, repetitive, cheap emotional tugs. :D

Honestly Ulver has so much great stuff to offer and such diversity, I'm excited for you to check it all out. Perdition City, Blood Inside, Shadows of the Sun, Childhood's End, Messe and The Assassination of Julius Caesar are all at least 8/10

No problem Stadler, I have no problem waiting through the weekend or even longer, because I know it takes time, and I myself am terrible putting EPs together (I am probably a year late on creating a concept album for Puppies, so it'll never happen at this point). Take your time.

Funny you ask because I don't think I addressed this, because... nobody asked! You can re-use artists you've already used for the EP and album rounds. Of course it would be nice if the song choices are deep cuts but it really doesn't matter. Since the EP will be judged as a whole I don't have a problem with re-using artists

I only spent about 4 hours on the concept album I put together for Kat. It has a story, but I didn't bother to write it out. If he really likes it, I may have to write the story at that point.

For me the most time consuming part is the story writing. Coming up with the basic story concept is easy, but then actually writing it out takes time. Especially if I want to do a narrative, kind of like the one I did for Ariich.

The sequencing aspect has become easier and easier as I learn new tricks in Audacity. The problem is I constantly second guess myself with song choices and swap them in and out too often and then have to redo everything.

I spent no such level of effort.  :lol

If I happen to move on (which I'll shart myself if I do), I don't believe I have it in me to create a concept album.  Done that a few times already, and I'm running out of ideas and song content.  Jeebus, I've sent about 50 different bands to Katt over his roulettes, so most of my A-list is depleted.  So, I'm just gonna be a random flow of awesome songs.

I’d guess something, but virtually certain the only way I’ve heard of anything here is by seeing them in various roulette submissions. $20 says I’ve never listened to a single band, let alone song... unless I was given them in a roulette.

lorde was the artist i had to bargain with katt to let me include btw

i had to kick off another longer song to make it fit on the EP & then i added in a really short track since i had the time for it. i might still try and include that longer song on my album, if i have to make one (which i am genuinely not even thinking about unless i win this round)

EP ROUND RESULTS TOMORROW (WEDNESDAY)
TAKE YOUR TIME MAKING AN ALBUM // IF YOU NEED THE WEEKEND, THAT'S FINE

I didn't want to step on Cyril's toes; I planned on posting everything else once he finished. On that note...

*   *   *

I'll assume Stadler is okay with me sharing his description of the EP, because hearing (reading?) it from the horse's mouth (fingers? hooves?) is better than through me.

Quote
So.... I tried to work this on a couple levels.  It's a vinyl EP, which means:

- these are songs that I listened to a lot on vinyl;
- these are songs that take me back to if not my childhood (though some do) to at least my youth;
- these are songs that I think sound really good on vinyl (or at least I remember them sounding really good on vinyl)

The transitions are me showing off; I'm not a huge fan of the synthwave genre, but I know you are, and I just played this game (Blood Dragon) and LOVED it.   I know the soundtrack is award-winning and Powerglove was highly praised for it's work on it.

A couple songs mean a lot to me:  "Flight Of The Rat" is from around the time I realized Ritchie Blackmore was something special, and I started playing guitar.   "Vienna" is from the first real album I ever bought - Billy Joel's "The Stranger" - and it's a favorite to this day.  "Hard Luck Woman" was a way that a 13-year-old me tried to sell Kiss to my country music loving grandmother, and she used to tolerate me playing that on my little orange portable record player.  Even though the song isn't one of my favorites, it's a favorite memory of mine.  "Goodbye" was a song from an album I played a lot talking on the phone with girls in middle school/high school.

Stadler's Reminiscence EP (https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4wAYTGqZ5ZrhLfRZMusxdK) (my title, not his)
1. Power Glove - Dr. Elizabeth Darling
2. Deep Purple - Flight of the Rat

4. Twisted Sister - Shoot 'Em Down
5. Power Glove - HELO-73
6. Billy Joel - Vienna

Train of Naught: kat party (https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1nzlCH31ODqtHB8TBgF6fX)

Quote
Quick summary / vibe check: This is mostly an energetic but not very metal EP, with a focus on catchy hooks and punchy instrumentals. Pendulum and Sleep Token bringing the headbangs, BADBADNOTGOOD giving the smooth and chill, Her Name Is Calla giving the chills, and Mew bringing the infectious melodies. They all have something different to offer but at the same time I believe they share that balance between being catchy but also having a bit of a hard edge that I like in my catchy music.

1. Her Name Is Calla - A Modern Vesper
2. Pendulum - Different
3. Mew - The Wake Of Your Life
4. Mew - Candy Pieces All Smeared Out
5. BADBADNOTGOOD - Can't Leave The Night
6. Sleep Token - The Offering

I did but I literally only know one song by them. Well... that's not entirely true. I have the album The Fountain is on, but that's like the standout track and really the only one I go back to. So it's nice to hear something else. I hear they're a strong drum n bass group and I need a lot more of that in my life (that's why The Fountain is such a great song to me, that upbeat chill but kinda happy vibe with those super awesome breakbeats is rad).

-------------------------------------

I've included some word documents in the file as well, I recommend reading in the following order:

1. Lyrics
2. Story
3. Commentary

*   *   *

Wow. First, I sincerely appreciate the effort you put into this, from picking out a cover artwork, title, writing a whole story, and offering commentary and a handy lyrics sheet. If you had made a physical booklet, you'd be on Evermind-level of excess.

This is a huge synthwave EP and I really enjoyed it from start to finish. It's a little daunting listening to one continuous 30 minute file instead of being able to break them into chunks but having the lyric document was a huge help in keeping my attention when I needed to read along with the story.

I really like the story and the tragedy of Renee. Did you come up with the name 'pyrelou'? I think you're a good writer and evidently skilled with the very short story format. The songs flowed into each other and matched each 'chapter' very well, I was impressed at how cohesive the entire EP is. The synth vibe is continuous and nothing is out of place, the moods match what you're going for in the story, and it all makes logical sense. The EP doesn't sound like a bunch of different artists; it all sounds like one big ensemble with each song complementing the one before it and after it.

Smooth beats, drippy synths, lovely singing, it's got it all. The music does a fantastic job of painting a picture that matches what Cyril writes about in the story. I can almost feel the glow of the neon lights and cold concrete of the city.

Considering I was looking for a theme, and you sent not only that but all the accoutrements, I am very impressed with this EP. Just about every song made my 'favorites' playlist and I'm curious about pretty much all these artists now (even if I have a mild anxiety that they're all going to sound like each other).

I urge people to read the story and check out what Cyril cooked up. Pretty impressive stuff.

Theme: "True North Strong and Free!!!"

1. Ian Thomas - Painted Ladies
2. The Tragically Hip - Ahead By A Century
3. The Tragically Hip - Scared
4. Gordon Lightfoot - If You Could Read My Mind
5. Gowan - A Criminal Mind
6. Alanis Morissette - Uninvited

*   *   *

Theme: Canadian music!

This is super stripped down compared to Cyril. I'm kind of surprised considering that monster 5-part epic playlist you sent me last time.

Ian Thomas was not on Spotify for me, so I had to YouTube it. It's okay, but it's definitely the weakest of the bunch here. Actually, it's funny, because this song kind of encapsulates the sound of the EP, but I love all the other songs. It's a chill, relaxed, stripped down sort of EP, seems to put more effort into striking an emotional cord than dazzling the sense with technical playing. I like that.

The Tragically Hip is a group I've heard a lot about over the years but never listened to - these are good songs. Ahead By A Century has a killer, memorable riff, dig that song a lot. Scared is good with a nice vocal melody. But what really got me was the Gordon Lightfoot song. That's exactly my kind of music. Love how it kind of swells and hints at building in the hook but it backs off at the last minute.

Gowan: I haven't looked up this artist at all, but I'm getting Phil Collins and Supertramp vibes from this. Really good stuff, but maybe a little too long? Really not sure, but it's oozing with this dirty 80s kind of mood - a kind of dirty I like. The Alanis Morissette is similar, with a dark piano riff that builds into a slow, Kashmir-esque doomy march. Not what I'd ever expect from someone like Alanis. Never heard of City of Angels either, but this is a nice heavy dirge.

Overall, you've showcased a lot of Canadian artists to me, Chad. This is a good EP. I dig almost everything on it.

*   *   *

I don't think it's a secret that Cyril won this round. The effort in creating a fluid EP with tracks that all gel together is obvious, but writing up a story that matches all the beats and fleshes them out thoroughly puts it over the top. Good playing, Chad, both of you sent great EPs, but Cyril's moving on to the finals. Congrats, dogboy. :)

I followed the theme of the roulette - keeping it simple.  Cyril's additional effort in story and flow notwithstanding, I still would've probably lost on song quality.  Glad there were things here for you to enjoy nonetheless.

And with that, I join Tim in/on Roulette sabbatical.

Perhaps... I can hear the similarities in the keyboard vibe in some regards.  But other than that, I don't know that I'd ever heard/known Gowan ever specifically cite Supertramp as a source of inspiration.

oh and regarding the individual artists:
SIAMES have a bit of a rock edge in general, though it doesn't quite come through in these songs. their debut was pretty good, they're gonna drop another album this year but none of the singles they've released thus far have done a ton for me yet
Purity Ring is one of those artists I find the one song I really like from but haven't gotten too into anything else, but they're probably still pretty good. i dunno
Like I said in my commentary, all the Daniel Olsen songs are off a video game soundtrack (and a very good game/soundtrack) so I'd urge you to play the game itself :P
Amy Shark... don't bother, she decided at some point to be a boring singer/songwriter type artist and her entire first album went in that direction instead of the compelling pop sound of Drive You Mad. what a waste.
Lorde you already knew but seriously go listen to Melodrama, it's a fantastic pop album.

I don't know about Supertramp SPECIFICALLY, but Gowan is the lead singer now of Styx, and they are sort of in a similar genre (along with Kansas), of being prog without being as weird or specific as some of the more quintessential British prog like ELP or Crimson.  And while I can't say Phil Collins SPECIFICALLY, the backing band on that song includes Tony Levin, Jerry Marotta and David Rhodes, better known (unknown?) as the core of Peter Gabriel's touring band for a number of years.


Jingle:  the Gordon and Alanis songs would have scored high with me.  Both are great, and "Uninvited" may be my favorite Alanis song depending on the day.

Stadler, this is a compliment just to be clear, but it cracks me up how encyclopedic your knowledge of classic rock is. Now I don't think my observation is that crazy. Definitely could feel some "links" there even if they're tenuous, that's cool.

Stadcul results this afternoon. My lunch is in a few minutes and I'm gonna nap because I am old.

Sacul: from bleep to blop (https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2NwPw5oToN7R3Z5vnwHLz6)
"No fancy theme, just 6 very nice tracks that I hope are nicer than Stadler's :P"

1. Massive Attack - Risingson
2. Portishead - Roads
3. The Black Queen - The End Where We Start
4. Arms and Sleepers - Twentynine Palms
5. múm - Green Green Grass of Tunnel
6. Boards of Canada - Dayvan Cowboy

The theme of this is clearly "Sacul music." I like this. It's mostly chill beats, groovy bass lines, ghostly synths. It's a bit drippy - that's a good thing.

I feel like I've heard the Massive Attack song before, but maybe that's because I've seen you send it in roulettes and I might have YouTubed it. I can't remember. This and the Portishead have some cracking head-bopping beats. I'm not too crazy about the vocals for either but they complement the music behind it perfectly so I'm not fussed, there's just something odd about the voice in Portishead to me.

The Black Queen's "The End Where We Start" is the highlight of the EP. It's fantastic, the vibe and choice of synths and melodies is a home run. A real winner. However, it's immediately followed by my least favorite song on the EP, "Twentynine Palms." It's not a bad song, but it takes half the track's length to get going - and I can dig that, but the last 90 seconds is the part that really gets my attention. Up to then it's a bit more minimal than I enjoy.

"Green Green Grass of Tunnel" is a nice cheerful piece but it's similar to "Twentynine Palms" in that I think it takes too long for me to enjoy the whole thing a lot. "Dayvan Cowboy" however ends the EP in a way similar to Massive Attack and Portishead, with a nice chill beat and some watery music flowing above it. Pretty good EP overall, it's a lovely little half hour of mellow music, and I definitely want to look into The Black Queen if they have more like that.

Stadler's Reminiscence EP (https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4wAYTGqZ5ZrhLfRZMusxdK) (my title, not his)
1. Power Glove - Dr. Elizabeth Darling
2. Deep Purple - Flight of the Rat
3. Power Glove - Blood Scope
4. Twisted Sister - Shoot 'Em Down
5. Power Glove - HELO-73
6. Billy Joel - Vienna
7. Power Glove - Rex's Escape
8. KISS - Hard Luck Woman
9. Paul Stanley - Goodbye

Quote
I tried to work this on a couple levels.  It's a vinyl EP, which means:

- these are songs that I listened to a lot on vinyl;
- these are songs that take me back to if not my childhood (though some do) to at least my youth;
- these are songs that I think sound really good on vinyl (or at least I remember them sounding really good on vinyl)

Stadler sending synthwave is quite possibly the most surprising thing I've seen in any of my rouletes. Not a good or bad thing, just surprising. Shocking, even. By the way, you suck. When I first heard that Twisted Sister riff, I wasn't looking at the tracklist, and thought, "He sent me Judas Priest AGAIN?" Thank god I was wrong.

Okay, so let's look at the meat of the EP: Deep Purple, Twisted Sister, Billy Joel, KISS, Paul Stanley. I've never cared about looking into Deep Purple because I'm always wary of that proto-metal/rock stuff that sounds like it wants to be heavy but isn't. That said, this song is really cool. It somehow stays interesting and fun the whole way through, with killer solos to boot. Not sure if a fluke, but "Flight of the Rat" rocks.

"Shoot 'Em Down" - like I said, sounds like a Judas Priest riff with Twisted Sister vocals. Not bad, though. Actually, pretty solid "rock and roll" song, y'know? I could play this loud as hell on the work radio and it would fit like a glove in the playlist.

"Vienna" - I'm banning Joel from all future roulettes, because everything I hear by him, I fall in love with. This is wonderful. The accordion bit is painfully short, it is such a good dressing on an already fabulous song.

"Hard Luck Woman" does not sound like any KISS that I can think of. And that's a good thing. I don't know if I know who this singer is, but I like his voice, and the melody he's singing has been stuck in my head from the first go. Honestly, I think I like this more than any of KISS's hits. That corny-ass "ROCK AND ROLL, MAN!" stuff does nothing for me, but this, this is delightful. I'll be honest, the Paul Stanley track is kind of whatever - this the guy who sings on all the big schlocky KISS hits? Eh.

The transitions - absolutely wonderful. Synthwave weaving in and out of classic rock shouldn't work on paper, but fuck me, dude, this is brilliant, the tracks are simple and groovy and repetitive like video game-y synthwave - appropriate as it comes from the Far Cry Blood Dragon soundtrack. I'm impressed at how good they are for being essentially transition/interludes. They're super catchy.

The flow of this EP is awesome and it intertwines things that not only YOU like but also things that *I* really like, and the creativity and boldness is admirable.

*   *   *

Winner...

STADLER!!

I'd post a bracket but I gotta go do some actual work so yeah.

Sacul, buddy, you are consistently consistent and always send stuff I dig. But the synthwave force was strong with Stadler. Or whatever, make your own Star Wars analogy that's better  :lol

HAHA.  "The Stranger" is almost a perfect record.   And I actually LIKE the "80's Doo-wop Billy Joel".  That album, "An Innocent Man" is a strong record (and, interestingly, a concept record of sorts).

Scenes is the center-piece of The Stranger album.   Produced by Phil Ramone, who is an excellent producer.  His two records with Julian Lennon are, I think, wonderful.   (Carly Simon and Paul Simon, too, if I recall).

3. concept album i have some ideas for (which is using some songs off the album in option 1 anyways)

i honestly don't think i have the effort in me to make 3 at the moment, which is unfortunate, but i kinda want to do 2 over 1 just because of how obscenely swag it would be to win with the artist i had in mind for it. we'll see. if you have any preference also let me know  :P

sorry for delaying this. busy times for me. plus also i'm burnt out after how much effort i put into the EP  :rollin

all songs by The Hirsch Effekt

1. Simurgh

3. Absenz
4. Agitation
5. Athesie
6. Natans
7. Coda
8. Datorie
9. Irrath
10. Cotard

Cyril, I had typed up track-by-track thoughts on this record, but I think it would be better to just put my general thoughts into one statement.

German is not a language I think is poetic; when I was studying for my music education degree, the four big languages were Latin (of course), French, Italian, and German. German always stuck out like a sore thumb; no offense to those who like it or speak it, but my god, German is an ugly language, there are no pretty sounds and no way to sing them to make them sound lovely. Italian and French are where it's at; Latin is, in my current mindstate, reserved for power metal bands who are way too extra for their own good. That's a joke. I digress.

There are some pretty moments throughout this album, and "Cotard" in particular was a nice revelation having spent most of the first playthrough wondering if I was going to be able to replay this. So after hearing that song, which is easily the best track of similar length in the collection, I felt better going back for repeats. That song really does have it all, and it's mostly done very well.

The problem is I find very little here to be memorable. German is already a horrible language for me to listen to, so I don't really have anything good to say about the singing, but I also have no idea what is going on. Reading your commentary, I was hoping you would include context or an idea of what each song is about, but I was left in the dark, and those long songs really felt like they dragged forever partially because I had no idea what was going on. Natans, Agitation - okay pieces of music, but without context, I felt no emotional response, from these or anything else.

"Lentevelt" and "Coda" are two beautiful tracks even if the latter is only 40 seconds. But it's short, sweet, and pleasant to listen to, so it's good. "Simurgh" is a nice intro track per se, it reminds me of the cowboy-western vibe of Lauri Porra's song "Rhapsody of Consequence" - because I don't have much else for reference of this particular sound.

Overall, I am glad you sent The Hirsch Effekt, I'm glad I got a broad view of their music. I found at least two or three tracks I liked enough to save to my 'favorites' list for future listening. I'm happy you sent something you love so much.

CONGRATULATIONS, STADLER!

Stadler's Childhood

1. Little River Band - Reminiscing
2. Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons - December, 1963 (Oh What a Night!)
3. Gary Wright - Dream Weaver
4. Gerry Rafferty - Baker Street
5. Ringo Starr - It Don't Come Easy
6. Mountain - Nantucket Sleighride (To Owen Coffin)
7. Pete Townshend - Let My Love Open The Door
8. Bob Welch - Sentimental Lady
9. Leo Sayer - When I Need You
10. Rod Stewart - Do Ya Think I'm Sexy
11. Bee Gees - Night Fever
12. Paul McCartney - Maybe I'm Amazed
13. Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven*

So, first off. I said one of these songs was almost cheating, and you were almost on the money. "Baker Street" was sent by jingle.boy as a post-roulette concept album that I reviewed late last year. However, listening to the whole album - the Ringo Starr song's hook sounds painfully familiar but I just can't say for sure if I've heard it before or not. "Let My Love Open The Door" is a song I *know* I've heard the hook to somewhere, but I can't tell you where.  "Maybe I'm Amazed" is a song I've DEFINITELY heard before, but not in full. All of those songs are par for the course, as you more than anyone have sent songs that have made me go, "Wait, I know this..." but they're also good!

And the cool thing about this collection of songs is that they're all heavy on strong hooks - okay, mostly. The Mountain track, I admit, is probably my least favorite of the batch just because it doesn't have the same energy as everything else, and I expected to hear some huge reverb-laden rocker I could drink and be a dirty white boy to, like Mississippi Queen.

Otherwise, I have no complaints here. This is a fantastic group of songs. I just have to go song by song on this. The caliber of songwriting in this collection is extraordinary.

"Reminiscing" has a motif straight out the gate that is 1) deliciously infectious and 2) almost reminiscent of Glen Campbell's Southern Nights, one of my favorite 70s songs.

Frankie Valli - the only thing I know about Frankie Valli, other than him being famous, is that he did the title track to Grease, a soundtrack I have NO shame about loving to death. Sounds way different here, though. How much younger is he? It's a lovely song though. I dig how clean it is.

"Dream Weaver" is another song I know I've heard the hook to somewhere but oh my god, what a fantastic song. Soon as it started I knew this was a winner, but it's a contender for favorite song of the lot. Everything about this is great.

"Baker Street" makes me think of New York City. I think this has to be the biggest statement a sax player can ever make, it immediately grabs your attention, it builds into a screaming, infectious melody, only Careless Whisper comes close to matching it.

The Ringo Starr song is inoffensive and fun; I don't think it'll make my favorites playlist, but it's nice to hear something he wrote that apparently doesn't get made fun of by everyone else?

Bob Welch and Leo Sayer - I can't say I've ever heard of these two guys before, or these songs, but WOW. Instant fan if they have more songs like these. I dug the hell out of them. The singing and melodies are great (a theme of this album, clearly), but the songwriting and arranging is on point, too.

Rod Stewart - I think my pupils dilated when I heard that string bit. Holy shit! Disco! The first time I heard this I thought it was cringe/corny - "Dooo ya think I'm seeeexy?" - but oh man, that string bit with the beat... This music is SHINY, dude, and I love it. Do I smell a touch of ABBA? Fantastic song.

Bee Gees - smart choice including them. One of my favorite albums is "After the Disco" by Broken Bells and the big hit off that record, Holding On For Life, is 110% Bee Gees inspired, check it out sometime. This song slaps. I should listen to more Bee Gees. Until I heard Holding On For Life, I always thought of Jimmy Fallon when I heard Barry Gibb's voice. Thankfully that perception is now shifting and I can probably listen to an album of theirs now.

Paul McCartney - I'm not a fan of Paul. This song is a bit of a stumble toward the end, if I'm being honest. Is it a bad song? God, no, absolutely not. I just don't really think he has any balls, he's a powderpuff with a lame voice, a bad haircut, and poor taste in women. Although the grit here kind of surprised me.

Congratulations, Stadler! Consistently awesome from start to finish, a powerful and inventive EP, and an album loaded with home runs - a well-earned championship!

*Stairway is a cheeky inclusion, good on you, fantastic piece, and I can play the whole damn thing sans solo on piano. I didn't even listen to it because I can visualize every note in my sleep, but I get why it's there. :lol

Post by: Stadler on March 20, 2020, 11:57:51 AM
Thank you, thank you. 

For everyone else, when I was around ten or so, I started to understand music and what it can do emotionally.  I started to like Kiss, but at that time 'portable' music wasn't as easy as it is today.  Cassette players were cumbersome and I wasn't really facile with that yet.  So no "Kiss On Demand".   I also suffered from a fair amount of insomnia.  So equipped with a small flashlight, a book, and a cheap AM transistor radio (nine volt, with a mono earplug) I would hunker under the covers and pass large parts of the night.

The station I listened to - WICC 600AM - was talk and news throughout the day, but top 40-ish AOR over night.  So each of those songs I heard at one point or another through that little radio, and the melodies and songwriting were what came through.   Every one of those songs has, to me, three things:  an indelible melody or hook, an incredible, enduring song structure, and a strong vocal.  Things I value to this day.   The inclusion of "Stairway" was an inside joke, since that same station would do countdowns on holidays and at year end, and Stairway would win EVERY time; I think it was just an excuse to play an 8:00 song! The few times it didn't win, it came in second to Freebird!

I'd do that; if we survive, that is.  Thatnk you fofn EDIT: <--- I have no idea what that is.  Covfefe.

Add to it: 

Gerry Rafferty (Baker Street) used to be in Stealer's Wheel ("Stuck In The Middle With You", used in Reservoir Dogs.)

Bob Welch was the interim guitar player in Fleetwood Mac, between Peter Green and Lindsey Buckingham.   "Sentimental Lady" was originally recorded by Fleetwood Mac; Welch re-recorded it for a solo album in '77 and Mick Fleetwood, Chrissie McVie and Lindsey Buckingham all played on that version (the version you heard). 

The Starr song ("It Don't Come Easy") was for a while the best-selling solo single by ANY of the Beatles; George Harrison co-wrote it - uncredited - and Gary Wright, the Dream Weaver guy, played keyboards on it.

I received post-roulette stuff from Train and Puppies so I will be posting those soon :)

Post by: The Walrus on April 21, 2020, 03:13:40 PM
BUMP!! Way overdue for this but since I fired off my final round to Puppies' current roulette, got eliminated from home's, and just have Indi's to focus on, I can finally focus enough to share my thoughts on a couple post-roulette submissions. First, Train sent me a playlist of 20 songs. A couple of these I was already familiar with, but it's mostly all new stuff. Train probably thinks I forgot all about it or didn't even listen to it, but I went back today since I've had a slow afternoon at work. Next up is Puppies!  :biggrin: No scoring, just sharing my thoughts.

1. Stateless - Ballad of NGB
   - This has a nice beat. Kind of a low key vibe, big 19th century parlor energy from the string parts

2. Ulver - It Is Not Sound
   - Mhmm... I like the ambient, soundscape-ish Ulver more than this. Although, that said... the crazy Gentle Giant keyboard madness at the end is awesome and the best part of the song. I'm just glad I wasn't left with blue balls after waiting for it to blow its load for a few minutes.

3. Manchester Orchestra - Virgin
   - I sorta like the album A Black Mile to the Surface, it's kind of a mood. I kind of like this song but kind of don't like the kids singing at the end. I'm conflicted. If you can't tell, I'm still kinda sorta maybe ehhh possibly iffy on this band. I think.

4. Low - Always Trying to Work It Out
   - Oh this is awesome. Love the production in this one and the cool effects. Smooth vibe. Really nice tune.

5. Tides From Nebula - Dopamine
   - romdrums sent this to me last fall, I believe. Great tune, one of my favorites of this bunch, too. Huge chill energy. Bumping this group up on my list of bands to check out, should've done that months ago

6. Raketkanon - Anna
   - I dig all the room the song has to breathe before the distorted riffs kick in; minimal chords and singing over that simple and crisp drum beat is pleasant. The riff and song are groovy but man I dig that first minute or so most of all.

7. Foetus - Aladdin Reverse
   - This is a Kubrick film condensed and translated into 7 and a half minutes of what the fuck. I did not enjoy this at all.

8. Dreamarcher - Coal
   - Was having fun until the disemboweling starting a couple minutes in. Thankfully it was short-lived. After that it's enjoyable, but sticks around a bit too long for what it is. Nice rhythmic stuff though.

9. Latitudes - Part Island
   - Wow that was epic. One of my favorites of the bunch. Huge mood. Loved the soft bits so much, but the heaviness added so much. Killer cover art on this one. Kinda like Agalloch in that it just finds its groove and stays in the pocket.

10. In the Silence - Ever Closer
   - Ooh. Cool textures on this one... nice beat... This one rocks. Relentless head bopper, love the rapid machine gun style bits on the guitar, song carries a melody but maintains aggression and momentum, I like that.

11. LENIO - Weight On A Scale
   - Pretty cool stuff. Having a real hard time categorizing most of the music on this playlist - including this one. That said, while it's fun when it's on, it immediately falls out of my memory when it's over.
 
12. Grimes - So Heavy I Fell Through the Earth
   - One of my favorite records of February! Loved this album, loved this song.

13. The Black Queen - Secret Scream
   - I was expecting some really heavy grimy metal and was pleasantly surprised here. Very poppy, honestly this and Grimes are a very nice much-needed break from the other stuff going on so far, so this one stands out in a big way. Infectious beat and hook, drippy synth stuff happening, big mood, fun song!

14. The Dillinger Escape Plan - Mouth of Ghosts
   - I've heard about this band for years. I have never listened to them. I was expecting balls to the wall, straight sludgy super aggressive metal. Instead I was greeted with softness and a f'ing glorious piano bit over an active rhythm section and an album cover that is more reminiscent of fox capture plan's Fragile. I'm so confused. JESUS CHRIST this just keeps getting better. WOW. Big impress. Such react. Seriously, wow. I am so stupid. I don't know why I expected like... Five Finger Death Punch or something.

15. ef - Hiraeth
   - I forgot about this band and I'm mad at myself about that. I came across their debut like, a week after it was released, completely by chance, and it was *awesome.* One of my favorite post-rock records. Then I just completely forgot about them. This is a good track but with much more edge than is on that first record. Seems like I've missed an evolution.

16. BADBADNOTGOOD - Can't Leave the Night
   - Smooth. This is a vibe track. Not much to say about this, it's just dope from start to finish. The few songs I've heard from BADBADNOTGOOD have all been wonderful. Making notes...

17. Sleep Token - The Offering
   - Whoa. That's kinda weird. Not sure what you'd call this. I guess that means it fits perfectly on this playlist. This is another one of those pieces that is good, but I struggle to think of when I'd come back to this. It's a vibe that I don't really get down with but I can in the right mood. This has a groove I like, though.

18. Her Name Is Calla - A Modern Vesper
   - Oooh that beat! And that soft section after up until the end! COOL!

19. Pendulum - Different
   - dat fresh beat doe. Yeah this track is tight, love the frantic tempo and that watery high-pitched synth melody that comes in every so often. Really cool!

20. Mew - The Wake of Your Life
   - Oh I like this. More than a lot of the stuff on Frengers and ATGHK. This has a bit of that 80s rock energy right down to the keyboards in the beginning. I would probably put this up there with The Zookeeper's Boy as one of the better songs I've heard from Mew. The vocals are more to my liking on this song, too.

Wow, that’s mostly pretty positive, super nice! Glad you liked so much of it. Parama is mostly right.. :lol I wouldn’t recommend any single TDEP album based on that tune, it’s quite the oddball. If anything, I guess Option Paralysis, Ire Works or One of Us is the Killer is your best shot at liking one of their albums, but I wouldn’t bet a lot on it.

That Latitudes albums is an absolute must and so are the Low, Stateless (courtesy of ariich thank you!!), BBNG, Lenio, Pendulum and Her Name is Calla ones if you happen to find the time! I see you’re gonna be on ef already anyway hehe

It’s sad I had to go out after round 1 but happy I could still deliver some goods!

Mike, not a late submission to the roulette, but this is as good as any to suggest something else to listen to in your COVID-19 haze.

Steve Earle.   Country, but with a lot more "fuck you" than standard country.  Especially recently, he's gotten a lot more political (VERY left wing; not "Joe Biden" left wing, but more "Fidel Castro/Vladimir Lenin" left wing), but all his writing, from day one to now, is very in tune emotionally.  I suggest his "Ain't Never Satisfied" compilation, especially disk two.   "The Devil's Right Hand" is one of the best songs ever written, if you ask me.

AND WE'RE ON TO THE FINALS!! Thanks so much for playing, guys. I liked everything in the EP rounds... just about.  :biggrin:

"No fancy theme, just 6 very nice tracks that I hope are nicer than Stadler's :P "

1. Massive Attack - Risingson
2. Portishead - Roads
3. The Black Queen - The End Where We Start
4. Arms and Sleepers - Twentynine Palms
5. múm - Green Green Grass of Tunnel
6. Boards of Canada - Dayvan Cowboy

...

The Black Queen's "The End Where We Start" is the highlight of the EP. It's fantastic, the vibe and choice of synths and melodies is a home run. A real winner.

*   *   *   *   *

1. Mesarthim - Fragmenting (0:00-10:48)

You said there is a story to this but it's for me to figure out. Well... I can't find the lyrics to this song anywhere, so I'm not sure how I'm supposed to figure it out. This track is fucking cool. My one complaint is the vocals. I like some harsh vocals but I'm very picky. I don't like the kind that sound like they're screaming with their mouths as wide open as physically possible, where it's like they're not even trying to enunciate. So, I have no fucking clue what this is about, but the electronic bits over the noise balance things out to make one really cool track. Like techno-atmos black metal. Weirdly compelling. The last few minutes are really nice, such a pretty string melody but very slight hints of darkness in the last few seconds.

Metal Archives list Mesarthim as atmospheric black metal with trance elements, with lyrics about the cosmos. I could dig that. Considering looking into this record because of the dope space art.


2. Negura Bunget - Cel din Urma vis (10:48-20:50)

I took the lyrics for this one and threw them into Google Translate and got back some Luca Turilli-esque word salad telling me this song is maybe about Hell or some dark, desolate wasteland with some evil energy? Still have no idea what this story is about, but I love the dark ambience in this. Screams are hard enough to understand, but in another language? Fugeddaboudit. There's something about that that makes me lose interest in the music on a fundamental level; if I can't understand what they're spitting, and translations don't help, the music really needs to be on another level to set it apart. Not getting that from this but I do like that the synth pads continue to add some weight to the music as the song continues. That's about it though.


3. Blut aus Nord - Mahagma (20:50-27:07)

Hold up, gonna put on my Smart Hat: does that name mean "Blood of the North"? Ist Metall. Okay, atmospheric black metal is clearly the name of the game with this concept album. There's that part about 3 minutes in with that majestic tremolo picked riff that sounds gorgeous - love this track when it's in that pocket. In fact, most atmospheric black metal seems to resonate with me when it's just like this section: not so much focused on riffs or small chunks of repetition, but longer sections of full-band double-bass tremolo picking metal with synth pads. Always go back to Kardashev's "Between Sea and Sky" when I think of that sound I love so much.

Also, fucking awesome art for some of these records. The art for the albums of the Mesarthim and Blut aus Nord tracks are massive Katt energy.

Also also, I gave up figuring out what this story is a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.

Also also also, right now is point is when which your album actually goes from 'good' to 'WHOA':


4. Midnight Odyssey - When Death Comes Crawling (27:07-35:42)

I've seen this art before, somewhere on DTF. Either from you or Parama Cyril or maybe Train. Instrumentally, I love this. Vocally, I hate this. But I can finally make out some story! Er.. I think. A forest burning to ashes, leaving nothing but death and silence. "There's no hope when death comes crawling." Yikes - that's powerful.

So over time, I warmed up a bit to the "singing" but mostly because of the production and how distant he sounds. The fundamental sound of the vocals isn't that appealing though. The lyrics are brutal and paint a metal picture. Strangely, despite my strong opinion on the vocals, this is one of my favorites of the bunch. Those choirs and pads take the edge off the raw metal side of the music and create this silky layer that gently coats a crusty metal interior. I really like this aspect of atmospheric black metal. Bands I got into toward the end of last year: Obsidian Tide, Illyria, Ashbringer... the beautiful incorporation of keyboards and strings complements the unrelenting harshness of the black metal side so well.


5. Spectral Lore - Cosmic Significance (35:42-47:41)

The art and song names for this track's record are really cool, just saying.

This track is such a mood. The keyboards are enchanting, and when the drums and guitars come in they gradually build into something intense instead of coming in guns blazing. No vocals for me to nitpick which is a plus in this case. I love how it spends the first half in a dreamlike trance before picking up. Again, this is the kind of atmospheric black metal I like: the kind you can barely call black metal, I guess. If I wasn't aware this is considered ABM, I'd call it like... avant-garde metal or something. Regardless, this has a shimmer to it by which I'm spellbound.


6. Summoning - The Land of the Dead (47:41-60:05)

I'm going to be short and sweet on this: from start to finish, everything about this is perfect. The pipes with the choirs, the contrast of beautiful choirs and string/keyboard arrangements with the reverb-laden screaming and metal elements. Apparently my favorite kind of atmospheric black metal is the stuff that doesn't even register as 'metal' - when the keyboards and arrangements overwhelm the metal, that's the best. Especially with these pipes, their sound is *everything*. Okay, so maybe I wasn't short and sweet, but I fucking LOVE this song. Also what the fuck, DTF? This band apparently writes all their stuff about LOTR but nobody clued me in on this group before? SHAME!

This album - especially the last three - are representative of what I call "Puppies music" yet you sent nothing like this in the very first round, which got you eliminated immediately! Waddafuk, bro?

I'm waiting for you to enlighten me about the story, but this is awesome. Please recommend me an album each by Midnight Odyssey, Spectral Lore, and Summoning. I *need* more. Especially Summoning. Like, STAT.

Glad you liked it as much as you did. I was hesitant to send black metal in the first round for fear it would get me eliminated....Oh the irony.... :lol

So for Summoning, definitely check out the album The Land of the Dead is on first, Oath Bound. From there, I would go all the way back to their second album (skip their first, it's not what you are looking for), Minas Morgul and then work your way forward chronologically all the way to Old Mornings Dawn. There latest album (With Doom We Come) is, again, not what you are looking for. Every album between their first and their last is Grade-A synthy atmospheric black metal.  :hefdaddy :metal

When I saw there was an album called Minas Morgul, and another called Dol Goldur, I instantly fell in love (that was when I first heard the Summoning track and was looking them up). Sold, will check out very soon!

Something tells me you'll do much better in my next roulette, eh?  :lol
