Title: The Walrus's Lead-Free Roulette -- now exploring every roulette submission ever
Post by: The Walrus on May 27, 2020, 03:52:44 PM
In this roulette, metal and progressive music are forbidden. There’s enough of that sent in every roulette here. If it can be labeled as ‘prog’ music or with ‘metal’ (of any subgenre), do not send it. The purpose of this roulette is for me to continue broadening my musical horizons by listening to genres I either don’t listen to enough of or genres I wish to learn more about.

Results, Final Scores, & Complete Submission List (https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=55299.msg2688892#msg2688892)

*   *   *

“So Katt, what are you looking for?” Literally anything else. Country western, jazz, ska, classical, EDM, disco, film scores, tunes from your favorite video game composer, rap, pop, new age, tribal music from central Africa, Chinese folk music using eastern tonality systems, Gregorian chants, anything but prog and metal. Let’s get weird with it. I don’t expect everyone to go that crazy, but I’m trying to indicate how badly I want you to not send metal and prog, if that isn’t already clear. :)

“But Katt! What about rock music?” So… I don’t want to be a tight-ass about rock, but I want to discourage sending it. If you must send something rock-oriented, at least make it adventurous, for my sake and the sake of your score. Blues and rock go hand in hand, but I’d prefer it lean heavily into the blues elements. Folk rock, I don’t really know what it is but I know it when I hear it… I’m not really looking for that, but again, if you must, make it adventurous. If it’s funky, it better be funky. Post-rock, of course, is welcome because, well, I love post-rock, I’ve heard a lot of it, but there’s a lot of different kinds of post-rock. What I will put a hard ban on is anything that can be called ‘classic rock’ or ‘hard rock.’ I’m really not looking for rock music in this roulette but I probably won’t turn it down either as long as it isn’t basic bitch rock n’ roll, if you’re desperate.

*   *   *

Rules
- 8 rounds, no EP or concept album rounds
- Send me 10-20 minutes of music by an artist. I’ll allow you to go over 20 by however many seconds you need to, but 21 is the hard cut-off
- This musical establishment has a 2-song minimum
- Spotify is the easiest way for me to listen to music these days, but I’ll accept YouTube or MP3s etc.
- Scoring will be from 1.0 to 10.0. I will be very fair but honest and give every submission its time in the spotlight. No twists, no gimmicks, just plain honest scoring. It’s easy for me. I’m not busting out calculators for scoring these.
- impressions/comparisons every round throughout the week
- NO ELIMINATIONS
- NO ONE GENRE HAS AN INHERENT ADVANTAGE OVER ANOTHER!! See the quote at the start of the thread. It's very possible I may love and hate two artists in the exact same genre or style. Trying to predict what I might like has been comically disastrous for my friends. I have a proven track record of this.

If someone sends an artist you want to send in later rounds, inform me BEFORE the results are posted, and I'll let you use them, I will write down who reserves what. But you have to use different songs. If an artist is sent twice in the same round - like Kip Winger - they can't be reserved.

”Dude, what do you even like? Can I have some hints?” My pleasure! While there are a bunch of various songs and artists I’m familiar with in these genres, I’ll only list the artists I’m super familiar with and won’t accept anything from in the roulette. Consider this a banlist of sorts. For anything else, by all means, ask away. But the point of this is to send unfamiliar music, so hopefully this won’t be much of an issue.

*   *   *

Rap – Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, Tech N9ne – but I’m clueless on most of the legends in this genre

Pop – Adele, N*Sync, Backstreet Boys, Katy Perry, Mariah Carey, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, and any and all popular hits of the 1990s which were my bread and butter growing up before I actually got into music as a ‘real’ hobby (all of which I still love today, looking at you, K-Ci & JoJo)

Country/Western – not much, really. But what I’ve heard and loved so far are Waylon Jennings, Hank Williams, Jr., Kenny Rogers, and Kris Kristofferson (all banned). I don’t like Chevy ad country, I like the old stuff, but I don’t know a damn thing about Johnny Cash

Jazz/Swing/Big Band – I know a bunch of famous pieces by a lot of the old legends, one or two to each name, but I’ve never heard a full record so this is a wide ocean for me to fish in. My favorite style of jazz is smooth jazz, specifically the groups Incognito and The Rippingtons. Weather Channel type music, ya dig?

Jazz… fusion? – I don’t even know what that really means, but I LOVE Casiopea and T-Square, so like… yeah

Game music - Koji Kondo, Yasunori Mitsuda, Motoi Sakuraba, Nobuo Uematsu are my favorite game composers, special shoutout to Junichi Masuda for his work on the early Pokemon games

Synthwave - WOLFCLUB, Magic Dance, Magic Sword, Michael Oakley, Gunship

Favorite film composers - Howard Shore, John Williams, Hans Zimmer, Danny Elfman, Randy Newman

Other assorted music I love - DJ Tiësto, Enya, Yanni, David Arkenstone, Yoko Kanno & The Seatbelts, Norah Jones, Celtic music, any and all Japanese folk music utilizing the shamisen/koto/shakuhachi/taiko etc., tribal drum music, Gregorian chants, Philip Glass, musical numbers from animated Disney films, Frank Sinatra

- Soundtracks by various artists are available to send, but your selections must be from the same soundtrack.
- Musicals are perfectly acceptable, but the following are all banned: Grease, A Chorus Line, Wicked, Jersey Boys, Little Shop of Horrors, Bye Bye Birdie, Les Miserables, any and all Disney films
- Click here (https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=55299.msg2665834#msg2665834) for a few words on video game soundtracks


Indiscipline asked an excellent question regarding classical music:

Is classical music a genre you're interested in being sent or is it too foppish a choice?

Classical music is very much welcome and encouraged; while I know a lot of classical music, there are pieces even by the most famous composers throughout the centuries that I am unfamiliar with, but also pieces by more obscure composers that I know. I would strongly discourage sending from the most popular composers and especially ones that I'm highly familiar with like Chopin and Beethoven, for example - especially the piano works. Feel free to ask as many questions as you like especially concerning classical music and what I like as that encompasses a gargantuan amount of music and styles.

*   *   *

And please, if you have a question, ASK! There will be a lot of shooting in the dark here, so I want to give you guidance where I can. I look forward to your eclectic mixtapes.

I'm in! I'll send tomorrow though, it's 1 AM here.

Not looking to win here or anything, I'll just send non-rock/metal stuff for shits and giggles.

Yeah, if anything, winning should be the last thing on people's minds for this roulette. The scores are just a formality. This is all about fun and exploration  :tup

Post by: King Puppies and the Acid Guppies on May 27, 2020, 04:15:20 PM
Oh, boy. Just perusing the banned list. I have no idea where to start. There is so much that I could send you.... Lots of classic hip hop, trance, synthwave, synthpop, jazz.... Oh boy.


tl;dr - let's extend this to about 30 rounds.  :biggrin:

Everyone is in and will be on the list soon. Stadler is in, too.

Tim, I am greatly looking forward to a lot of "WTF is this shit?" commentary. $1 in the jar for every WTF posted.

Also please forgive me, that should read 8 rounds. Fixed.

Ah yes, the Lucien strategy.

...wonder what that guy's up to these days.

aw, Buddy, I was specifically thinking of you with the game music!

I mean, I suppose I could participate if I sent nothing but game music the entire roulette. :lol I'd need a list of OSTs you're familiar with though, outside of the composers you've mentioned.
Title: Re: Katt's Lead-Free Roulette (sign up today!)
Post by: The Walrus on May 27, 2020, 05:10:01 PM
Sending an entire genre for the whole roulette is a valid strategy especially considering how video game OSTs can literally encompass all styles of music. Some of my favorite music ever made is game music. I could throw up a list soon.

Celeste looks like a pretty cool game, actually.

I will put something together and sent tonight, probably.

Edit: Also, since I'm thinking about it, what's your feeling on indie stuff, Katt? Does indie rock trend too close to rock? Like say Modest Mouse as a point of comparison.

Hooray! Buuuuddy and Podaar, you're more than welcome to join.

However, Beethoven is banned. I have an 87 CD set of all his works, have heard the majority of them at least once, and play his piano literature. :)

Eating dinner right now but no rush, Buddy, the sign up period will still go on for a few days, so whenever I get the list made (tonight/tomorrow) feel free to make your call.

Yeah indie rock stuff is weird. I'll just make the call and say... maybe. Unless it's really unconventional, maybe avoid it. Modest Mouse is kinda in that gray area from what I know of them. But like Silversun pickups... ineligible, even with their weird new stuff.

UFO is not eligible, unless they have several wildly unconventional songs that don't really fit the metal/rock mold. All I've heard tells me they're a straight up classic rock group.

Eating dinner right now but no rush, Buddy, the sign up period will still go on for a few days, so whenever I get the list made (tonight/tomorrow) feel free to make your call.

No worries, as long as I'm getting a list to work with at all I'll go ahead and join. :)

I swear to god if this is the first roulette I win I won't know how to feel...

I'm already a massive fan of Motoi Sakuraba. :neverusethis: But uh, yeah, don't send me a metal video game tune. I'm not really sure what a prog video game tune that isn't metal sounds like, so... uh. Try me?  :lol I doubt there's video game prog that sounds like prog but hell I could be wrong. If I am, you'll find out and I'll ask for something else  :hat

There's one OST in particular that may be considered metal (it's an extremely video game-y type of metal if it is) that's so good that I'm sending it to you anyways. If you reject it I'll just send something else. :lol

EDIT: Sent for round 1 for a game I'm pretty sure you haven't played (not the OST I'm describing above)

So most of my favorite game music comes from the SNES/N64/GameBoy era of music, almost entirely from Nintendo system games. It's no coincidence that all of these are among my very favorite games ever made too.

Absolute all-time greatest game soundtracks imo, still listen to all of these today:
- Snowboard Kids 1 & 2
- Chrono Trigger
- literally any Zelda game (specifically Ocarina, Majora, Wind Waker, Breath of the Wild, Oracles, and Link's Awakening)
- Golden Sun 1 & 2 (Motoi Sakuraba  :heart )
- Baten Kaitos 1 & 2 (Sakuraba again :heart )
- Pokemon Red/Blue, Gold/Silver, and Ruby/Sapphire
- Harvest Moon 64
- Quest 64 (yes, I am serious)
- Super Mario World, Mario 64, Mario Sunshine
- all of the first 10 FFs but specifically 1, 2, 6, 9, and 10
- Donkey Kong Country (not 2, not 3 - the original)
- F-Zero GX
- Xenoblade Chronicles 2
- Street Fighter II
- Cave Story
- Maple Story
- Banjo-Kazooie
- The Last Remnant

So, most PlayStation games... not familiar with the soundtracks, even if I've played the games (and I've played a lot of them). Ditto for Microsoft. There are a lot of PS RPGs out there, even by my favorite composers, that I've never played, or whose music I just don't remember for one reason or another, maybe I played through them with headphones on listening to Toto :lol

This is a very peaceful, beautiful tune (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWCWIhA3XQw) from it. It's my morning alarm and ringtone, actually.

This will actually be easier than normal cause I have fuck all to choose from.  I'm thinking if it's allowed that I'll probably go with the tact of sending Michael a lot of songs I used to listen to on the radio from Aussie bands back in the 90's.  Most would be rock so I'll have to have a bit of a dig but actually could be fun.

And now I get to address the inevitable:

Let's say in his en masse submission, Cyril's round 4 songs are by Screaming Headless Torsos. Round 4 arrives and Big Hath sends Screaming Headless Torsos. I'll accept both, even if they're the same songs. Capisce?

Screaming Headless Torsos, by the way, are totally eligible for this. I had to transcribe part of one of their songs for a college thing and it almost broke me in my freshman year. I can't even remember what the song was because I tried to block out the memory  :lol

Because someone asked, and I think we have everyone signed up (unless other people want to sign up, there are 4 days left after all!):

Send your songs by the end of Sunday, please! I already have half of them, and it's only Thursday, so no rush at all.

And one more clarification, also asked by a participant:

- Soundtracks by various artists are available to send, but your selections must be from the same soundtrack.
- Musicals are perfectly acceptable, but the following are all banned: A Chorus Line, Wicked, Jersey Boys, Little Shop of Horrors, Bye Bye Birdie, Les Miserables, any and all Disney films


Updating the OP with those two rules as well as the video game OST list.

banned: any and all Disney films


dammit.

Over the last 2 weeks I've not only re-watched almost all the classic animated Disney films, but broke out the Disney sheet music book. Fantastic music in those movies.

I have the Disney Fake Book as well, if that's what you mean :lol

I don't own any Fake Books, haha. :P

Tim created his role, so I'm humoring him. He's checking the stuff out and talking shit. And he's talking mad shit about all your submissions. Put up or shut up, Crankshaft! :lol :lol

I swear to God, I’m seriously considering trolling the fuck out of Tim straight out of the gate.

Also, TAC is Pence to Katt’s Trump.

Katt... would you accept submissions that combine songs from a band, and one of the members’ solo career? As an example, Journey and Steve Perry?  I got a couple scenarios in mind if that’s cool.

Really stretched thin for options, aren't we?  :lol

My immediate reaction is: if either one doesn't have enough non-rock to pick from just one, maybe looking for a different genre entirely would be a better idea. Let me sleep on it.

That's what I thought; I've heard 2 full albums and they sound... like prog metal to me. They remind me heavily of Tool. When they played ProgPower USA in 2018, I went back to the hotel and napped until Anneke van Giersbergen was scheduled to play.

Then I open my mail and see Katt replying to my submission (which is not even close to anything Soen related whatsoever) saying I have to resend because he hates Soen. Ouch?!? and also what the fuck makes you think I sent Soen?

So looking at my text...

Hey man!

I’m gonna do the same as with ariiich, send you a playlist with everything in it sorted by round 1 at the top, etc., for now I just have round one but I’ll add the rest of the artists very soon. This first band is Soen very cool swingy jazz fusion kinda stuff. Discovered them this year!

How are you doing your hangman by the way, is it pretty manual? Given your format is similar to mine, I'd be happy to share my updated Google Sheets template with you if that might make it easier?

Happens every single time in my roulettes because that's just who I am as a person  :facepalm:

I'm doing it all manual. I've always just done it manually in a Notepad file, it's most comfortable for me. Even when I inevitably do the above  :lol

Go for it, Tim!

But I'm going back out for some running now. Caffeine withdrawal is real, feeling chest discomfort from anxiety (legs won't stop bouncing either). So I'll be back in a few hours; Tim can take over the hangman if he's feeling confident (cause I gave him the Spotify playlist link which has everything except 2 senders on it) but he doesn't know who sent what, for the most part. Back to listening to your beautiful music

Also 'cause I'm trying to get 30k steps to show up one of my friends 'cause he a whole bitch  :hat and I can't let him get 30k steps and not match him

Rich, it took half an hour to update after I woke up. I know, I'm weird.  :lol :lol

Pup did send that Zappa song before. Sacul also sent green grass of tunnels previously. Because I haven't explored those artists whatsoever, and for the purposes of this roulette, I allowed them. Also Podaar and Shadow haven't played in my roulettes before, and I'm a bit lenient this time. There actually isn't technically a banned list other than what's listed in the OP and if you happen to ask about or send something particularly forbidden.

Also as you can see with Kip and Jaar, you can send from across a musician's catalog... if they wrote it, and it qualifies stylistically. Get adventurous!

You know what? Katt had plenty of opportunity to tell me, "Sorry, Gregg. Puppies has already sent me this song in my first or second roulette (I forget which one)." But you know what I got instead about the eligibility of my selections? I can describe it in two mutha-fuckin words. Jack and shit. And guess what? It's Katt's motha-fuckin' roulette so we're (presumably) following his lead. Frankly, all the bitchin' and whinin' about who sent what, and who discovered who, is precisely why these roulettes can be so fuckin' tedious. In short, if you don't like what I send, I suggest you get on your knees, put on your lobster bib, and suck the fuckin' snotty end of my fuck stick! Mmmmkay?

New rule, because other roulettes have done it, and I think it's fair for this one. Updating the OP with this.

If someone sends an artist you want to send in later rounds, inform me BEFORE the results are posted, and I'll let you use them, I will write down who reserves what. But you have to use different songs. If an artist is sent twice in the same round - like Kip Winger - they can't be reserved.

This roulette is about having fun, so I think this is fair. Carry on. :)

New rule, because other roulettes have done it, and I think it's fair for this one. Updating the OP with this.

If someone sends an artist you want to send in later rounds, inform me BEFORE the results are posted, and I'll let you use them, I will write down who reserves what. But you have to use different songs. If an artist is sent twice in the same round - like Kip Winger - they can't be reserved.

This roulette is about having fun, so I think this is fair. Carry on. :)
Definitely reasonable. If you reserve an artist, do you definitely have to use them, or is it optional?

EDIT: See the next page for clarification on reservations please

Also, Chad is correct on the senders, Indi correct on the songs.

You don't have to, no. Just gives everybody a fair chance to call out something for later :)

Also, Chad is correct on the senders, Indi correct on the songs.

Tough rule... because if one "reserves" them for later, and it's optional, they can choose whether or not to send them based on how they scored.  I think this rule came into effect for situations when a player had a band in mind for their 'concept album' or thematic EP, and not being able to use them would fuck up their plan.  I think if you're "reserving" a band, you should have to use them - or incur a cancellation fee.   :lol

Probably sensible, on balance. In that case, I probably won't go reserving as I have plenty of options to send, whereas if it had been optional I'd have been reserving just for the hell of it, and just in case. :tup

I will say it's still a bit unfair to the original sender, especially in a case where a band has several styles/sounds/eras (such as TOP).  I leaned a little heavier on old stuff, but if Katt REALLY likes the new stuff, king could just go heavy on that and rack up a big(ger) score.

That's a fair point.

Personally if I was sending Tower of Power (which I might have done), I'd have just sent some tracks from Soul Vaccination. One of those bands who are solid on record but outstanding live.

Post by: The Walrus on May 31, 2020, 01:45:29 PM
Well, nobody's reserved anything yet, so there's that.   :tup

I don't count it as a reservation unless I receive an explicit PM saying what is being reserved, fyi. And just because something does well one round doesn't guarantee another batch from the same artist will do so well, and that's not taking into consideration the other 18 sets of songs being submitted. I feel like there's lots of wiggle room here :tup

Do not underestimate my love for things that might be entirely wack to most people. When I said get weird, I meant it.

For real, it made sense in Tim's roulette because it was all EPs, and I'm only using it for my EP round. But on the other hand, if some people are playing but don't have a huge amount of non-rock/metal stuff they'd want to send, it provides a safety net to still allow them to send stuff they actually like.

I took my nap from 1-3.

A two hour nap? WTF?

What are you? 5 or 85? :lol


30 year olds don't nap. They kick a day's ass. Wait till you're as old as Kingshmegland, or Stadler.

Dude, I practiced a whole new Mozart sonata today by developing a new (for me) practice method, worked on some new Bach inventions as I work my way back up to fugues, ran a mile and got 10k steps in (23k last night), and still made time to read, cook dinner, and play video games. I beat today's ass like it owed me money, and it's only Sunday.  :hat

Omigosh the Moonlight is amazing and the second movement never gets old. I play that like every time I sit down at the piano 'cause it's quick and easy. Third movement is what I need to stop being lazy with and finish learning. Girls go fucking gaga for that in my experience  :lol

I hauled about two yards of crushed stone. Probably 30-40 wheel barrels worth. That was after 15 or so yesterday, after opening and cleaning my pool.  And got about 4 hrs of God of War in last night / this morning.

Pretty good weekend overall. Bedtime now

First movement is not terribly complicated but since I haven't played in years it's certainly straining my hands a little :lol . Never really cared for the second part tbh, but the third one is fucking awesome.

Holy schnikes!

I just finished up cutting a TON of grass, and while I was washing up, I sneezed (for like the 30th time this morning) and my left earbud fell into the god damn water for a couple seconds. Instantly turned off. Started letting loose every profanity in the book (I was in the middle of listening to roulette songs!). Couldn't get it to turn back on. Carefully dried it with an air gun and put it in the charging case for a few minutes. It lit up and it's still working! Unfortunately I blew out the tiny little mesh cover thing inside the earbud  :lol

But just in case, I bit the bullet and bought another pair to have them delivered tomorrow. Hooray! I just hope they don't crap the bed in a few minutes. They were advertised as waterproof of course  :lol

EDIT: I was gonna say it would've hit the water whether it was on a wire or not, but I guess if it was on the back of my neck, yeah. That's definitely my #1 (only, actually) complaint about bluetooth earbuds.

Whew. Ya'll ready for some first impressions?

I mean, I have bluetooth earbuds but I was adamant they would be on a wire that goes round the back of my neck, because of exactly what happened to you today. :lol

Speaking of impressions, where TF is Crankshaft? Sleeping on the job? Not ready to post all 19 of his 0/10s? :lol Not sure if I have much else to really contribute until I have results though, honestly. I still need to make another few passes at all these songs which I can get done throughout the day and evening when I do cardio, but they likely won't be until Friday, so everyone's got the whole weekend to send.

Feel free to guess, and I'll tell you if you're right. All of these are my literal first thoughts after finishing them, so some could have even changed already, or will change again by results...

1. Like a nice dose of musical candy
2. I expected to hate this, but was impressed
3. Borderline cheating, I hear one of these songs at work every week
4. Like slowly dipping myself into a cold bath after a long hot day
5. Warm and pretty, but I'm not entirely sold just yet [Cyril]
6. Exactly what I was hoping to get in this roulette
7. No doubt about it, this is certainly interesting
8. You had my curiosity, but now you have my attention
9. Perfectly embraces the spirit of this roulette [ariich]
10. Holy shit
11. That was super relaxing
12. This is totally music that fits where I live
13. This voice reminds me of a band I can't stand
14. There's a very nice twist here but otherwise I'm not sold yet
15. Adventurous yet somehow tamer than I expected [Train of Naught]
16. Tommy Boy: "That. Was. Awesome!"
17. You bastard
18. Surprised I have never heard of this guy or been sent his music tbh
19. Vocals: eh, everything else: yes

Rich, I am shamelessly aping your whole roulette for this. Be flattered.  :lol

That's good! Looking forward to it. I'm even going to post a list of artists from each round I plan to check out voluntarily post-roulette. Doesn't mean I won't check out others if they're not listed, but the ones I'm most excited about listening to will get a mention and I'd like to check out one album from each on the list.

Mmmmmm ...7?

Nope, but you're not far off... in fewer words, so to speak.

1. Like a nice dose of musical candy
2. I expected to hate this, but was impressed [Podaar]
3. Borderline cheating, I hear one of these songs at work every week
4. Like slowly dipping myself into a cold bath after a long hot day [Evermind]
5. Warm and pretty, but I'm not entirely sold just yet [Cyril]
6. Exactly what I was hoping to get in this roulette
7. No doubt about it, this is certainly interesting
8. You had my curiosity, but now you have my attention
9. Perfectly embraces the spirit of this roulette [ariich]
10. Holy shit
11. That was super relaxing
12. This is totally music that fits where I live
13. This voice reminds me of a band I can't stand
14. There's a very nice twist here but otherwise I'm not sold yet
15. Adventurous yet somehow tamer than I expected [Train of Naught]
16. Tommy Boy: "That. Was. Awesome!"
17. You bastard
18. Surprised I have never heard of this guy or been sent his music tbh [romdrums]
19. Vocals: eh, everything else: yes [Buddyhunter1]

Tim's Impressions

1. Sucks & Blows.
2. Blows & Sucks.
3. Blows then sucks and then blows again.
4. 3 sucks, 1/2 blows

3 is either Stadler (likely) or Kade.

11 - mine

TAC has no actual role in this roulette, he just kind of inserted himself into posting his own smartass commentary on everyone's submissions. I make the scores, I am the captain of this ship, he is simply the dude working in the boiler room who wears the captain's hat and pretends to be in charge when I'm not around.  :lol :hug: love ya Tim

Hey no, it actually makes a lot of sense because my third guess would've been 4, but I feel if I haven't got it from the first two guesses then that's it, have to wait for it to be revealed :lol I guess it sounds fairly positive then, huh, we'll see

It is pretty difficult to get that balance right. What I've been finding works OK is having some that are vague and others that are more obvious.

Also having groupings/categories that help people narrow things down.

And finally being a bit more descriptive in ways that could refer to a few submissions but not all, e.g. warm, energetic, etc.

Because I have - gasp - actual work to do for a change, I will leave you with the actual list. Now is the Era of Crankshaft. This list is copied from a notepad file from earlier but I'm pretty sure the impressions are the same.

Results at the end of the week.

These are probably the two Kip Winger entries. I once showed a music professor some of Kip’s music in college, and he listened for about a minute before turning it off and saying “the vocals sound like Bon Jovi!”  ::)

Close, but no cigar.

Because this roulette is already moving at light speed, I've updated the OP at the top with all the round info: submissions list, Katt impressions, Judge Crankshaft's Timpressions, and results TBA (results will include the complete banlist of artists sent in the roulette to date). The rest of the rounds will also have links to comparisons. Hopefully that will keep this neat and help people keep track of music that was already sent.

ariich's format is definitely my favorite of all that I've done so far. Ya'll should do it too.

Sacrificing goats and drinking the blood to worship the devil?  I wouldn't say Hall and Oates are that satanic.  :lol

So for today and probably tomorrow I'll be running through the songs once more before I make the final writeups. Depending on how busy work gets - my work days usually are busiest on Fridays, but it always fluctuates with respect to how often I'm at my desk - I could have results up as early as tomorrow night, or as late as Friday night. Hoping for tomorrow, but no promises.

Right now I have a "Will I explore an album by this artist?" yes/no answer after each writeup. I'm on the fence if I want to post it because I don't want to shut out any artist for good, yet there are certainly submissions this round that I will 100% be listening to after the roulette before anybody else, and there are others I'm not quite sure about.

Results either tonight or tomorrow... still have 10 to go.

And maybe I'll have the rest finished tonight. Some of you will be in bed, either because you're old or because you're European. So you'll still have to wait til tomorrow.  :lol :lol :lol

I'm trying to get the most out of my 20's sleepwise apparently :lol which means sometimes we have D&D games on Tuesdays at 10:30 PM and we run late into like 2 AM or 2:30 AM and then I have to get up at 5 AM. It sucks big time but that's the only schedule that works between all the players. But now we're on lockdown so it's better. I think we played like four or five times in the last two weeks and I'm still getting my sleep.

I'll either just get up at 9 AM tomorrow because there's so many things to do or just sleep in until 1 PM because why not, I'm on vacation anyway.

edit: and also alright I'll go get some sleep I guess, see you in the morning folks

This was a really strong opening round, everybody. I enjoyed each submission - maybe not every song in every submission, but I had fun listening to everything, and simply not connecting with one song could've made the difference between you and someone 7 places over you, it was so tough to rank them. This is super fun, and you all are sending a wide variety of stuff, exactly what I wanted. Hit me with round 2 - some of you already have, but if you need to make adjustments, let me know.

Now I'm going to finally cook my damn dinner. Catch ya'll tomorrow, space cowboys  :hat

*   *   *

Sacul: Nicolas Jaar - 7.8
1. Balance Her In Between Your Eyes
2. Wildflowers
3. Don't Break My Love
4. (Against All Logic) Such A Bad Way

I have faith in you yet, my two-time champion :hug: Now look. I liked all of this a lot more than the last Against All Logic piece you sent me, which if I remember correctly was 11 minutes of straight glitched out weirdness - too weird at times. The Against All Logic song here is the highlight of the group, it's got a nice beat and is very fun to listen to. The other three tracks are really pretty and serve as good background music, but there isn't a whole lot for me to chew on, it's definitely Sacul music but every time they're finished, I struggle to remember many moments about them. And maybe that's not the kind of music it's supposed to be - which is perfectly fine. But it is strange that this time it's reversed, and I'm loving the Against All Logic tune, and not so much the others, but it's all very pretty, interesting music regardless.

*   *   *

HOF: Kip Winger - 7.9
1. Another Way
2. Pages and Pages
3. Ghosts: III. Adagio

This is a mixed bag. I was hesitant to accept this one because I wondered just how different Kip's solo stuff could be from Winger proper, but I'm kind of glad I did, because there's some good stuff here. Another Way isn't a bad song, but it's not very compelling to me. However, Pages and Pages corrects course. It takes a few minutes to get going - it's a bit long - but about halfway through it starts to turn into something really nice, and it just gets better and better until it finishes. I really like the percussion rhythm, the piano, and how they both sound together. I wish the entire song was just like that. It's very pretty. But the biggest shocker... I never would have expected Kip Winger of all people to write classical music. This is honestly impressive. Hearing it out of context is interesting, and forces it to stand on its own. It's gorgeous, and of a quality I do not expect from a rock star. What a combination of songs here. I may not be compelled to listen to his singer-songwriter music, but this classical stuff has my attention.

*   *   *

kingshmegland: Sarah McLachlan - 7.9
1. Possession
2. Good Enough
3. I Will Remember You
4. Fumbling Towards Ecstasy

So, right off the bat, I'm not really feeling Good Enough. But it's made up with I Will Remember You. I know the song is about a relationship, but the general theme, the music, and a lot of the lyrics hit me like a sledgehammer and brought me some tears more than once, for more than one reason, which is unique for this round. I like Possession's beat and chorus, it's drenched in that 90s pop sound. Fumbling Towards Ecstasy is the most interesting of the batch in my opinion, it's got some nice activity and I dig the strings which add a bit of spice to the experience. It has more energy than the other songs, and the guitar fortunately has more bite than in the other songs. Her voice is of course the star of the music, I just wish more of the songs were as energetic as this, or had the same emotional pull of I Will Remember You.

*   *   *

jingle.boy: Kip Winger - 8.0
1. Ghosts: II. Vivace
2. Pages and Pages
3. (Winger) Who's the One
4. Headed for a Heartbreak

What is this, the Chad Winger Ballad Hour? Chad, this was such a weird one for me to score. I don't really care for Winger, and someone else sent Kip's stuff in this round, too, including Pages and Pages, which takes a while to get going but has a gorgeous back half. The classical movement is good - very good - and unexpected from a rock star. I'm not a big fan, however, of Headed for a Heartbreak. It's not doing anything for me. I have conflicted feelings on Who's the One. The guitar sound is soooo 90s, very reminiscent of Days of the New, but I kind of like that. Kip's voice is good here, he reminds me of Glynn Morgan a lot, actually (Legends of the Shires Glynn, specifically). Honestly, I think that's the highlight of this group, moreso than the classical piece or Pages and Pages. Still, I'm not sure I'm wanting to dive into his music since it's more or less rock. But I do want to check out that classical album, for sure.

*   *   *

Train of Naught: Federation of the Disco Pimp - 8.1
1. Walk Away (Parts 1 & 2)
2. Crank
3. Click Your Heels
4. No Place Like Home

This was fun. It's jazzy and groovy, and I like how the interlude track is so brief it wouldn't matter if the song titles didn't match perfectly. Walk Away is the highlight of this mix in my opinion, with No Place Like Home close behind. I appreciate the soul and emotion in this music. I was expecting something a lot more wild from a group with this name, so in a strange way it feels kind of restrained, even though these guys clearly have the chops to break out some funky sounds. I can dig it.

*   *   *

Shadow Ninja 2.0: múm - 8.2
1. green grass of tunnel
2. we have a map of a piano
3. don't be afraid, you have just got your eyes closed

I like this, it's some of the prettiest music of the round. There's almost a video game-y quality to the music that I'm struggling to describe that is more apparent as I play through these - not so much the first song, a little in the third, and very prominent in the third. At first I wasn't sure if I would ever come back to this, but the more I hear it, the more I remember and the more I enjoy it. It doesn't really get in your face or demand your attention, but attention is what it deserves in order to fully appreciate it, I think. It's great as background music, but there's a lot to enjoy by actively listening to it, too.

*   *   *

Stadler: Steve Earle - 8.2
1. Copperhead Road
2. Even When I'm Blue
3. The Devil's Right Hand
4. Nothing But A Child

This is nearly cheating because it's pretty rockin'. But it's got enough style, soul, and variation for you to get away with it. Without looking it up, this sounds like that dirty 90s rock to me; not the radio rock or grunge stuff, but that stuff you'd hear in the more country areas of the country or something. It sounds like something that would be perfectly at home in my home town, even with the bagpipes and mandolin. I did some Googling and it seems like The Devil's Right Hand is a Johnny Cash cover, do I have that right? That song is a highlight of the bunch, as is Nothing But A Child which struck an emotional chord with me. Even When I'm Blue and Copperhead Road are solid tunes as well. It's country and rock, but doesn't lean strongly into either, and there's an interesting vibe that comes out of that. This is pretty safe compared to most of what's sent in this round, and in a way that works in its favor just a little bit. I appreciate that it rocks yet it doesn't rock too hard. As a recent Buffett convert that's nice to hear. Maybe not for you, but for me. :)

*   *   *

Podaar: Frank Zappa - 8.3
1. Peaches En Regalia
2. RDNZL
3. Watermelon In Easter Hay

When I saw Frank Zappa, I expected to hate this. Puppies sent me Peaches En Regalia once before, and it's a weird little number that absolutely reeks of the funky 70s. It's a nice tune, but it's a little all over the place for me and has a weird vibe to it that I can only describe as... Zappa. RDNZL on the other hand is where it's at. And every time I hear it, I am drawn, in awe, towards the piano player. The guitar is well played, but I'm not crazy about his tone, and honestly I wish he'd STFU while the pianist is going hard on the ivory :lol The piano tone is bright and resplendent, and he just doesn't quit. I'm impressed at so much of what he's doing and the musical ideas going on. Those last couple minutes, man, holy shit, WOW. And that's not even considering all the wacky little synth and xylophone bits thrown around like a Jordan Rudess solo record. It's a spectacle. Watermelon in Easter Hay switches it around and makes the guitar the star. It's very Floydian in its beauty, and surprises me with how pretty it is. I once tried to listen to Joe's Garage and I thought it was one of the weirdest, most unpleasant things I've ever heard, but this piece, hell yeah, man. That's the good stuff. RDNZL and Watermelon in Easter Hay are the side of Zappa that I like. Not the really weird shit.

*   *   *

romdrums: Jean-Luc Ponty - 8.4
1. Stay With Me
2. Infinite Pursuit
3. Final Truth, Pt. I
4. Final Truth, Pt. II

Y'know, maybe Crankshaft was on to something when he said something to the effect of, "Zappa, this is how you do it" haha. It's kind of jammy and quirky with the violin, but the violin's playing and articulation is almost like a brass player, it's really exciting to listen to. I love the piano playing in Final Truth, Pt. I - it's one of the highlight songs of the batch because of the piano and violin. But my favorite is Infinite Pursuit. It's catchy, fast, and has a sound very reminiscent of early Asia or Emerson, Lake, & Powell, two groups I love a lot. The playing here is fantastic all around. Can't believe I haven't heard of this guy before. He's a great player and clearly has great musicians with him who can make very entertaining music.

*   *   *

Buddyhunter1: Hiroyuki Sawano (Xenoblade Chronicles X OST) - 8.5
1. NO.EX01 (Major Boss Battle)
2. N木ig木ht木L (Noctilum Day)
3. Uncontrollable (Tyrant Theme)
4. 96-:rip (Cauldros Day)
5. The Key We've Lost (Final Boss)

Having not played Xenoblade Chronicles X, it's interesting to take a game's music at face value. This is really good though. Video game music, when done well, especially with JRPGs, blends a lot of different elements into something completely unique, and this is a perfect example of that. Lots of electronic activity mixed with horns, strings, vocals, and a dash of rock and metal. I really like all of these. I can hear hints of Xenoblade Chronicles 2's music in a lot of this, but really what sells these tracks for me are the electronic beats, they keep the tracks engaging and fun. The battle music tracks are interesting for fight music; I imagine this fits very well with mechs flying around, but at the same time vocals in battle music tends to distract me. It's certainly not as strange as the Chaotic Dance songs from Baten Kaitos, though. Over the last couple of decades I've noticed a lot of western video game developers have eschewed traditional, memorable soundtracks in favor of ambient orchestral soundscapes, and while they're impressive in the same way a lot of film scores are, they lack the memorability and power that catchy music can add to video games. This was really nice to listen to.

*   *   *

Evermind: Amethystium - 8.6
1. Fairyland
2. Treasure
3. Shadow to Light
4. Fable

Oh man, in a nutshell, this is just so pretty and relaxing. I love the nice beats I can bop my head to, the drippy synths and warm singing.  It's like Sacul music if you removed the elevator music elements and leaned more heavily into melody. It's hard to pick out a favorite, because there's a lot in each track that I like, like the bouncing synths in Shadow to Light, the beat in Treasure, the pipes in Fairyland, and the synths (again) in Fable. I think Shadow to Light and Fable are my favorites. Big soothing energy.

*   *   *

wolfking: Daryl Hall & John Oates - 8.7
1. Out of Touch
2. I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)
3. Maneater
4. Kiss On My List

Poppy pop rock. Solid hooks in these songs, no wonder they're so popular. Haven't heard any of these songs before, personally - but I dig them. I hear in these songs a lot of that late 70s/early 80s pop rock sound that Toto had that I love a lot. I really like the vocal layerings, and the synth and saxophone in Maneater - that is my favorite song of the bunch, but I really like all of these. Sure it's not terribly adventurous, but they're all well written earworms and right up my alley when it comes to pop rock. So I kind of regret never listening to Hall & Oates after hearing these. Perhaps I should grab a greatest hits collection and see what they're all about.

*   *   *

Big Hath: Tower of Power - 8.8
1. Down to the Nightclub
2. So Very Hard to Go
3. Below Us, All the City Lights
4. It's Not the Crime
5. I Like Your Style
6. Souled Out

I really dig listening to this. I'm intimidated just looking at their massive discography. There's a wonderful variety here. Down to the Nightclub is a jam, the ballad-like tracks are really smooth, It's Not the Crime brings a smile to my face with those horny lyrics, but the absolute star here is I Like Your Style. For some reason it seems like What Is Hip? is their biggest hit and I don't know why, because this song blows it out of the water, it's a perfect song. The jazzy, funky, soul-tinged music here is so fun to listen to and it's all very well played. I can hear a strong influence from these folks in Incognito's music, I know Tower of Power is popular but I don't know just how big they are, so I had a really nice time listening to this.

*   *   *

ariich: Caravan Palace - 8.9
1. Dragons
2. Suzy
3. Wonderland
4. Star Scat
5. Clash

You dirty almost cheater. Punk? Ska? What the fuck is this, it's not really rock :lol As I said in the impression, this perfectly embraces the spirit of this roulette; it's unlike anything I've heard before, it's quirky, it's fun, it's groovy, and everything, somehow, seems to gel together naturally. Dragons and Suzy are my favorite of this batch. They both have this awesome, infectious, fast swing music with a dance beat underneath, and Suzy has the added bonus of a good vocal melody and scat. Awesome songs. I also really like the other three songs, Star Scat would be my favorite of the three, but there is this particularly strong energy to Dragons and Suzy that I find most compelling, and it was a great way to start off the mix because they're wonderful attention grabbers. This was thoroughly entertaining.

*   *   *

Elite: Sublime - 9.0
1. What I Got
2. Wrong Way
3. Same in the End
4. Santeria
5. Seed
6. Burritos
7. Caress Me Down

When I saw you sent Sublime, I kind of groaned. And on the first listen, I was kind of like... what? I'll admit, I've been prejudiced against this band and countless others since I was a teenager. I always lumped them in with a crowd of lame commercial bands that were popular therefore they sucked. If it didn't shred, it sucked in my eyes. Oh, boy. This is actually awesome, and in fact, Santeria plays over the stereo here at work all the time. I just never knew who sang it. I like all of these songs a whole lot. There are tons of lyrics I find funny or entertaining, and every song reminds me of my teenage years and early 20s, and a little bit of me now, even. At first I just thought the songs were okay, but I kept playing them over and over and over and fell in love with them. The singing in Spanish, the reggae elements, the horns, the way the singer has attitude but can carry a melody, these are such memorable songs. This was a huge fucking gamble that paid off in spades, you are possibly the luckiest, ballsiest person in this round. Well played. Thank you.

*   *   *

Indiscipline: Return to Forever - 9.1
1. Sorceress
2. The Romantic Warrior

I am in awe. Sorceress is a brilliant display of musicianship from everyone in the band, it's impossible to list all the cool things happening because sometimes it's just a certain note or a specific chord they strike for half a second and then something else awesome happens after it. It's jazz - jazz fusion? - but sleek and groovy. This is so refreshing, my music library is very thirsty for this stuff. And all of that applies to The Romantic Warrior, where Chick Corea steals the spotlight and boggles my mind for 10 straight minutes. This is a spectacle, but it's tasteful, intelligent, and fun at the same time. Best of all, everything has plenty of room to breathe. It just sounds good, in all the right ways, y'know?

*   *   *

Puppies_On_Acid: Mos Def - 9.2
1. Hip Hop
2. Ms. Fat Booty
3. Auditorium
4. Wahid
5. History
6. Casa Bey

This is awesome, and exactly what I wanted to get in this roulette. The beats to all of these songs are sick, simple as that. I dig the hell out of them, especially the string bits, and the woman singing on Ms. Fat Booty. Mos Def's flow is smooth, and his lyrics are awesome. It's exactly the kind of hip hop my library is parched for. It's hard to say what I like most out of these songs; Ms. Fat Booty and Auditorium are vying for the top spots, but on some days I like Casa Bey or Hip Hop most. I like how you squeezed in a little Talib Kweli too, I enjoyed him. The only other time I've heard Mos Def is on Chappelle's Show when he sang Close Edge in the car, but I really like that song, too. Thank you very much for this!

*   *   *

Bolsters: The Midnight - 9.2
1. Crystalline
2. Jason
3. Synthetic
4. Vampires

God. DAMN. Yeah, this is pretty much everything I like and nothing I dislike: big shiny synths, 80s head-boppable beats, sugary sweet catchy vocals, and a screaming saxophone which is my kryptonite. Granted, I have yet to hear a synthwave artist I dislike, but this is above the standard synthwave template I've come to recognize. I like the inclusion of Synthetic because I haven't heard too many ballads in synthwave, and it's a good one. I think Jason is my favorite of the batch. Super strong submission. Thank you!

THE 8.1 HAS BEEN DELIVERED

the julia holter album in question has a few more songs more like the ones you liked the most (namely feel you and sea calls me home), a few very ambient pop cuts, think the softer parts of lucette but with singing rather than the speak-sing thing (how long, night song, title track), and one other longer cut (betsy on the roof) that doesn't really easily fit into either of those categorizations but is closer to the first than anything else

vasquez is still kind of an anomaly but i enjoy it a lot even if nobody else seems to

Post by: HOF on June 04, 2020, 10:05:18 PM
Man, I’m a little pissed that jingle.boy bested me! Who’s the One is a great song, but also more in the rock/metal vein (I feel) than Another Way, which is a gem in my book. All good fun though.

At any rate, don’t shy away from Kip’s non-classical solo work. I didn’t send you anything from his best album (IMO) Songs from the Ocean Floor, or his first solo album which is more like Sting meets Peter Gabriel. Was afraid you’d find them too rock or progressive for this roulette. But Songs is one of my favorite albums by anyone, and is the first album where his classical background really started to show (he’d been doing string arrangements since the first Winger album, but after Songs he actually went back to school to seriously study classical composition). Definitely also check out his classical album though.

Random note about Ghosts, it was originally composed of just three movements, but after it got picked up to be choreographed for ballet, Kip was asked to write an extra movement (the one Jingle sent you). Then the actual order of the movements got rearranged. So what I sent you was originally the third and final movement as Kip originally wrote and released it. I much prefer that order, as the current 4th movement used to be the second movement and just doesn’t feel right as the conclusion. Thankfully, you can just rearrange them however you want thanks to technology. Curious to know what your thoughts on that are if you check out the whole piece.

Glad you liked it! I'm definitely more excited about my round 2 submission though.

I'll be super honest since I'm gonna assume according to my placement that this band is probably one you're not entirely sure you want to revisit. Walk Away is easily my favourite song by them, the others are more representative of the rest of the quality of the album (which is still great imo, but just a heads up).

Pretty sure I know what I want to send for round 2, so should send it this afternoon.

Post by: Elite on June 05, 2020, 02:27:53 AM
Elite: Sublime - 9.0
1. What I Got
2. Wrong Way
3. Same in the End
4. Santeria
5. Seed
6. Burritos
7. Caress Me Down

When I saw you sent Sublime, I kind of groaned. And on the first listen, I was kind of like... what? I'll admit, I've been prejudiced against this band and countless others since I was a teenager. I always lumped them in with a crowd of lame commercial bands that were popular therefore they sucked. If it didn't shred, it sucked in my eyes. Oh, boy. This is actually awesome, and in fact, Santeria plays over the stereo here at work all the time. I just never knew who sang it. I like all of these songs a whole lot. There are tons of lyrics I find funny or entertaining, and every song reminds me of my teenage years and early 20s, and a little bit of me now, even. At first I just thought the songs were okay, but I kept playing them over and over and over and fell in love with them. The singing in Spanish, the reggae elements, the horns, the way the singer has attitude but can carry a melody, these are such memorable songs. This was a huge fucking gamble that paid off in spades, you are possibly the luckiest, ballsiest person in this round. Well played. Thank you.


:jawdrop:

That actually went even better than I hoped for! This is a very nice and fair write-up and I thank you for taking the time to listen to the songs and not dismiss them right away. There's a lot more to this band's music than you'd hear on surface level and some of the lyrical content is indeed funny, but also with serious undertones (there's a track on the album about looting and the Rodney King riots in 1992 - very topical right now, 'Wrong Way' is essential about child prostitution but in this kind-of messed up way). The way the band blends reggae, ska and dub with punk rock is different from (and better than) other bands that have tried the same thing. It also doesn't try to be a 'perfect' record, but it's fun, it's engaging and far more varied than listening to any one track might make you think.

And Santeria being on the radio is a little surprising to me, since I don't think they're that well-known over here at all. I knew they were bigger in States, but that song still being played is knew to me. That's okay though, Santeria is awesome. It's hard for me to pick a favourite, though I've always enjoyed 'Seed' and 'Same in the End' because they blend styles effortlessly, but there's some other cool tracks on the same album that are good and different in their own way. Highly recommended if you liked this selection!

(And TAC giving it a 6,0 - I wouldn't have sent it in TAC's roulette :lol )

Good morning, you pop-drinking, jazz-swinging, head-banging, chill-outing, angst-riddled, possibly high, lovable music geeks. I woke up with Spice Up Your Life by the Spice Girls stuck in my head. :heybaby:

I have read all the replies, and the reactions amuse me. For round 2, already we once again have an artist that is sent twice, with one song being shared in the submissions. This is also a group I banned from at least one previous roulette but was fair game for this one, which I'm sure at least one person is going to point out. It has been foretold. You may still reserve an artist for future rounds anytime between hangman and results, in case you'd like to use them.

For all the music recommendations, I do have a list of artists I want to explore immediately after the roulette. Some are obvious, like Mos Def's Black on Both Sides or The Ecstatic, and The Midnight's Endless Summer - others are less obvious, like Kip Winger's Conversations with Nijinsky, and Julia Holter's Have You In My Wilderness. There is a hierarchy to the list (see the ranking, after all) but due to my ravenous musical appetite, I would like to check out at least one album from (almost) every artist in this roulette. Unless I flat-out disliked it (which would get a shockingly low score), I would definitely give the artist a second chance. I'll share the list after the roulette wraps, and maybe make another thread where I talk about an album every day or something.

It's the day after results day, which means I'm taking a break from roulette listening. I have half the submissions already in - this is gonna be another fun round, clearly - and am going to start the day by listening to Caligula's Horse's first album which I never got around to until now, and then it's time to check out new releases.  :hat

HOF: Kip Winger - 7.9
jingle.boy: Kip Winger - 8.0

BIG fan of the Winger "Pull" album, especially "Down Incognito".   I love that performance.  There are solo guitar versions out there as well.

Quote
Stadler: Steve Earle - 8.2

Cash covered The Devil's Right Hand, not the other way around.   It's become something of a country standard, since Cash, Waylon Jennings, and The Highwaymen (a supergroup of Cash, Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson) have all covered.  So has Bob Seger. 

Quote
wolfking: Daryl Hall & John Oates - 8.7

If you have ANY interest, I would listen to "Family Man"; it's a pretty sophisticated song for a duo dismissed so regularly as "pop lightweights".   Don't let the music fool you; Daryl Hall is a MONSTER.  You should also check out "Live At Daryl's House"; the format is Daryl has a guest in - anyone from Joe Walsh to Ben Folds to the guy from Fall Out Boy - and they do a couple of that artists songs and a couple of Daryl's songs, live in the room.  The Cheap Trick episode is FANTASTIC (though Daryl's background vocals on "Surrender" are so different they're jarring).  Even the bands I don't like sound great in that format, and the ones I do like are sublime; that venue is where I realized that Joe Walsh is one of the best American guitar players EVER.

When The Office first started, I didn't know what it was (I wasn't aware of The Office until around 2010). My little sister was like 6 years old she would always call me Michael Scott and laugh like an idiot and I never got it. Then I saw Prison Mike and laughed like an idiot, too. I really miss that kid.

i really like chapter 6 & it also conveniently allows me to send a variety of styles
considered the chapter 2 theme (but it's hella long on the soundtrack) and the chapter 8 theme (but i just like reflection more, SHRUG)
not a ton of the songs on the OST make for fantastic listening outside the context of their levels though tbh but it's like. a fantastic OST all the same

I think I'll always prefer to do all first listens together if I can (unless some people are running a bit late) so first impressions are on an equal basis, but I might try the batches idea too. Maybe not for the regular rounds in my current roulette, but definitely for the EPs (as I'll have a lot to take in), and possibly for future roulettes.

tbh i recommend it on PC because it just feels better to play on keyboard. it really requires 8-directional precision that most joysticks don't give (if you have a gamecube controller for your switch then that should be fine? those ridges mean everything)

it's probably the best platformer i've ever played by itself but it's also beautiful graphically and musically with a great core message and aside from like, a few eeHHH levels and a few other screens in levels i'm not particularly fond of it's about as close to perfect as you can reasonably expect any game to get

it can be brutally hard though but that's part of the fun for me  :lol the main campaign is generally not too bad except towards the end but the optional content is all way harder (and hella fun tbh)

If I can play it with the D-pad on the pro controller I should be fine, yeah? I don't feel like using my PC atm, in fact it's not even hooked up currently. I'm used to Matt Makes Games's difficulty - those Jumper games and Dim are absolutely ridiculous at times - and the videos I've seen look like I'd probably acclimate really fast. It was on sale for $10 recently and I just don't know why I didn't grab it lmao ayyyy

Great selection, could be lots of people here.

Doing Ulver within 20 minutes was very hard to do :lol There were a bunch of tracks I wanted to have in there as well and this doesn't even really contain my own favourites, but fitting in longer tracks was a little impossible without showcasing the different sides this group has.

On a related note, I just got my dad's vinyl and cd collection from his widow, and I've been going through some of that.  My Dad was a huge Toto fan, so he's got a lot of their stuff on both CD and vinyl.  The title track from Fahrenheit is pure 80's fire!  I was also reminded of just how good The Seventh One is.  Side One of that record is solid!  I never really listened to the post-Jeff Porcaro stuff all that much, so I'm looking forward to taking the deep dive there.

Fun fact: while TAC hated this round possibly more than anything he's heard in recent years, I think it's one of the strongest rounds I've ever received in a roulette. That said, there is one - ONE - submission that I just do not connect with, and a couple others that aren't quite sinking their teeth into me, but I don't dislike them. All the others are in a vicious battle for scores, and scoring is going to be a doozy this time.

Enjoy some impressions from K-LOX 105.9 in the morning starring Crankshaft & Katt; hopefully these are easier to pick out :)

1. And people say the metal I listen to is Disney music. WTF?
2. I wish I had some weed for this.
3. I really wish I had some weed for this.
4. This is quaint and pleasant; one of these is not like the others - I just hope the others are growers
5. This is epic and gorgeous and one of these sounds like it should play in This Is The End when the Backstreet Boys are doing a choreographed dance in Heaven
6. I have definitely heard one of these groovy songs before, and it's great - I just hope the others are growers [Indiscipline - Stevie Wonder]
7. The variety of this artist really impresses me, and the amount of electronics caught me off guard. [Elite - Ulver]
8. I think doubling down on your strategy from round 1 was a good idea
9. What a wonderful voice.
10. Part of this sounds like Sonic the Hedgehog, part of it sounds like I should be listening to it at a rave, but the whole package is delightful
11. I bet you cheated on tests in school, too, you clever bastard!
12. Way more fun than your last submission - nice variety and good beats.
13. Very enjoyable, and I hope to experience this in context sooner than later
14. Best lyrics of the round and it's not even close
15. I think I grew a mullet and a taste for Bud Light listening to this, but I'm not complaining, he's very fun to listen to
16. This music makes me wish I had a modicum of dancing skill in my body. This is amazing.
17. Quirky, with a hint of Lady Gaga. What a voice!
18. This is better than the other stuff I've heard from this artist!
19. There's a Toto vibe in here that I really like

I wrote these down immediately after the first listen. A lot of these have not changed, but a couple have... we'll see what the next few days of listening bring.  :corn

Octopath Traveler is kinda Bravely Default lite, for what that’s worth. The combat systems are pretty similar but Bravely Default actively encourages you to break the game with ridiculous class synergies and strategies, and wipes the floor with you if you don’t.  :lol

Even the battle music for Bravely Default is like the battle music from Octopath on steroids, at least in some ways.  :metal

I like Octopath Traveller a lot, although I do skip through all of the story stuff since it's the most stereotypical RPG plot possible with nothing at all to distinguish it.

Not 12, king!

Yeah, Shadow, I was so disappointed with OT's story. Hell, it's not even like it's there. I actually never even finished the game. I went through all 8 characters' stories but after chapter 2 for most of them I just did not care because, you're right, it's all so stereotypical and nothing unique about it. Which is a shame because the demo was so promising and the characters had a lot of potential. If the story and characters were better, I would've kept my copy - that would've made it an amazing game, which is a shame because pretty much everything else about it rocks imo. Would be nice if they made a sequel, or, y'know... just did FF6 remade in that style  :lol

Aw, you didn't do the secret final boss? That's by far the most memorable experience I had with that game because of how fucking hard it was. I'm pretty sure the fight where I beat it lasted almost two whole hours.

Wow, seems like I might have made them too obvious  :tup

Nope, never did that boss in OT. I think I got to the end of chapter 4 in most of the characters and just stopped when I realized none of their arcs were ever going to intersect or develop into something bigger, which was my initial draw to the game's story in the first place.

Well, for mine, I don't think it was "obvious" in the sense of how you wrote your impression, but "obvious" in the sense of the impression itself.  There's a reason that Robert Plant, Freddie Mercury, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan, among others, have cited him as a defining aspect of their maturity as an artist.   

He turned into a joke at the end, because of his persona and his manner of death, but the degree of his celebrity and accomplishment shouldn't be understated.   He's one of those singular figures that, regardless of whether you like his music or not, it's hard to deny that the landscape of modern music would look very different if he had never walked into Sun Studios back in '53.

Only know Bad Romance and a few other songs from Lady Gaga so that shouldn't be it and then there's the Toto comment and I don't like Toto at all so :P

Yeah, I mean, I know it's way different in other countries, but that just cracks me up because they're one of the biggest groups of all time, they lit the world on fire at the end of the 90s/early 2000s.

"The Backstreet Boys have sold over 100 million records worldwide,[7] making them the best-selling boy band of all time, and one of the world's best-selling music artists. They are the first group since Led Zeppelin to have their first ten albums reach the top 10 on the Billboard 200,[6] and the only boy band to do so. "

Yeah no worries. For what it's worth, in general I'm the same (I watch very few sitcoms and tend to much prefer drama), and B99 kept getting recommended to me and I kept putting it off going "yeah ok, maybe sometime". But I got completely hooked when I eventually got round to watching it - there's something about it that balances comedy, heart-warming-ness and the occasional bit of thoughtful social comedy that hits just the right spot. Not saying you'd feel the same, just that's what my experience was.

Anyway, we're getting off topic, this is clearly the Backstreet Boys thread.

My brother and I used to hate watch Backstreet Boys videos back in the day, but unlike ‘N Sync (who were truly and utterly terrible), I kind of liked a few of their songs and at least thought they had some vocal talent. I Want it That Way, Show Me The Meaning of Being Lonely, probably a few others I’ve forgotten about.

2. I wish I had some weed for this.
3. I really wish I had some weed for this.
4. This is quaint and pleasant; one of these is not like the others - I just hope the others are growers [HOF - Sweet Billy Pilgrim]
5. This is epic and gorgeous and one of these sounds like it should play in This Is The End when the Backstreet Boys are doing a choreographed dance in Heaven [Evermind - Enigma]
6. I have definitely heard one of these groovy songs before, and it's great - I just hope the others are growers [Indi - Stevie Wonder]
7. The variety of this artist really impresses me, and the amount of electronics caught me off guard. [Elite - Ulver]
8. I think doubling down on your strategy from round 1 was a good idea [wolfking - Icehouse]
9. What a wonderful voice. [Stadler - Elvis Presley]
10. Part of this sounds like Sonic the Hedgehog, part of it sounds like I should be listening to it at a rave, but the whole package is delightful
11. I bet you cheated on tests in school, too, you clever bastard! [Buddy - Revo (Bravely Default OST)]
12. Way more fun than your last submission - nice variety and good beats. [Sacul - Justice]
13. Very enjoyable, and I hope to experience this in context sooner than later [Cyril - Lena Raine (Celeste OST)]
14. Best lyrics of the round and it's not even close [Big Hath - Jason Isbell]
15. I think I grew a mullet and a taste for Bud Light listening to this, but I'm not complaining, he's very fun to listen to [Podaar - Vince Gill]
16. This music makes me wish I had a modicum of dancing skill in my body. This is amazing.
17. Quirky, with a hint of Lady Gaga. What a voice!
18. This is better than the other stuff I've heard from this artist! [ariich - Submotion Orchestra]
19. There's a Toto vibe in here that I really like [king - Joe Jackson]

Honestly, I have no clue as to how Tim would feel about Vince Gill's music. I'd guess he'd not want to listen to it out of choice, but some of these "memes" are pretty harsh. I can't imagine anyone having that strong of opposition to these songs.

This was it.

(https://i.imgflip.com/44l2j8.jpg)

Not particularly harsh other than to say I didn't care for it.


Fun Fact: When I was in my 20's I used to hear all the time how I looked like Vince Gill. Strangers would come up to me and my wife wherever we were and say it.

Fun Fact: When I was in my 20's I used to hear all the time how I looked like Vince Gill. Strangers would come up to me and my wife wherever we were and say it.

Dude. I shit you not, I looked at some photos of Vince and was going to joke about how you looked kinda like him, but that is FUNNY.

I wonder? Out of all the talented western music artists I could have picked...why would I pick Vince Gill? Hmmm...

romdrums, correct! Puppies, yes, 17! Have the rest of 'em 'cause I'm in the middle of working on writeups. Comparisons tomorrow!

1. And people say the metal I listen to is Disney music. WTF? [jingle.boy - Damian Wilson]
2. I wish I had some weed for this. [Shadow Ninja - CHVRCHES]
3. I really wish I had some weed for this. [Bolsters - CHVRCHES]
4. This is quaint and pleasant; one of these is not like the others - I just hope the others are growers [HOF - Sweet Billy Pilgrim]
5. This is epic and gorgeous and one of these sounds like it should play in This Is The End when the Backstreet Boys are doing a choreographed dance in Heaven [Evermind - Enigma]
6. I have definitely heard one of these groovy songs before, and it's great - I just hope the others are growers [Indi - Stevie Wonder]
7. The variety of this artist really impresses me, and the amount of electronics caught me off guard. [Elite - Ulver]
8. I think doubling down on your strategy from round 1 was a good idea [wolfking - Icehouse]
9. What a wonderful voice. [Stadler - Elvis Presley]
10. Part of this sounds like Sonic the Hedgehog, part of it sounds like I should be listening to it at a rave, but the whole package is delightful [romdrums - Squarepusher]
11. I bet you cheated on tests in school, too, you clever bastard! [Buddy - Revo (Bravely Default OST)]
12. Way more fun than your last submission - nice variety and good beats. [Sacul - Justice]
13. Best lyrics of the round and it's not even close [Big Hath - Jason Isbell]
14. I think I grew a mullet and a taste for Bud Light listening to this, but I'm not complaining, he's very fun to listen to [Podaar - Vince Gill]
15. This music makes me wish I had a modicum of dancing skill in my body. This is amazing. [Train - The Weeknd]
16. Quirky, with a hint of Lady Gaga. What a voice! [Puppies - Janelle Monáe]
17. This is better than the other stuff I've heard from this artist! [ariich - Submotion Orchestra]
18. There's a Toto vibe in here that I really like [king - Joe Jackson]

That's funny, because that was my impression too; I remember going to The Rainbow with a couple of guys I was working with (who weren't into music like me) and they were like "bro, this place sucks, let's go".   I stood next to Ron Jeremy when I ordered my drink, though, so there's that.  :)

Fun fact: while TAC hated this round possibly more than anything he's heard in recent years, I think it's one of the strongest rounds I've ever received in a roulette. That said, there is one - ONE - submission that I just do not connect with, and a couple others that aren't quite sinking their teeth into me, but I don't dislike them. All the others are in a vicious battle for scores, and scoring is going to be a doozy this time.

sent music from the greatest game of all time oh my god 10/10 [REDACTED] have my babies

I'm predicting Buddy is sending something from the Tales or Star Oceans games. Or even Ys. Maybe Persona?  :corn

It's another RPG, but no, not even close. :lol I've never played any of those games actually (though I'm quite familiar with Persona 5 at this point).

This round was incredibly hard to score. I wasn't exaggerating when I said this was one of the best rounds in any of my roulettes. I spent two evenings just rearranging the submissions in order of preference trying to figure out the scores, it was that difficult. Still have 6 rounds to go, plenty of time to catch up if you're not happy with where you stand now, but I enjoyed at least something in every batch, even the ones that scored low.

*   *   *

jingle.boy: Damian Wilson [8.0]
1. Commune
2. Tapestries
3. Life on Mars
4. Please Don't Leave Me
5. Homegrown

I think it's important to note that someone can be a good singer while still disliking their voice. This is proof that Damian Wilson is a good singer - the man has talent. But I just don't enjoy the sound of his singing, it's too thin and reedy for my taste and especially on songs like Commune and Life on Mars there is this theatrical, almost musical-like performance that I find corny, and not in an endearing way. That said, I do like the melodic choices on Homegrown and Please Don't Leave Me 'till I Leave You - Homegrown has the best lyrics, and PDLM has a very pleasant oldies vibe to it. The layered vocals mask Damian's voice a little, which is probably why it's my favorite of the songs with singing. Tapestries is the star precisely because it has no singing. Lovely playing. This is a weird bunch and was hard to score, but it is what it is - there was some good music here, but largely, it's overshadowed by a singer whose voice I simply cannot stand. It was nice to see a different side of his music, though, and it was pleasantly varied, so it's not a complete wash. I initially scored this much, much lower, but other than the ugly voice, there is actually some surprisingly nice music in here.

*   *   *

HOF: Sweet Billy Pilgrim [8.2]
1. Kalypso
2. Just Above Midtown
3. Chasing Horses
4. A Shelter of Reeds

This was definitely a grower, not a shower. I wasn't sure about this at first. Kalypso was a risky opener because at first listen it seems very plain, but repeat listens opened up the beauty to me, and I like the gentle crooning of Kalypso in the chorus.  Just Above Midtown is a nice contrast. Nice and upbeat, just a pleasant tune with a great hook. The other two just kind of go in one ear and out the other - pleasant when I focus on them, Chasing Horses sounds like a lot of nice soft indie rock bands, and A Shelter of Reeds is a sleepy little number, but I just fail to remember them when they're done. So there are two hits here - I don't think I've ever even seen this artist mentioned on DTF, so that's pretty cool.

*   *   *

Indiscipline: Stevie Wonder [8.2]
1. Contusion
2. Sir Duke
3. Master Blaster (Jammin')
4. They Won't Go When I Go

This did grow on me. Contusion sounds more like a Zappa piece than something I expected from Stevie Wonder, but it's fun. Sir Duke - I knew this song as soon as it started, but I never knew the name or the artist who performed it (shameful, I know, but I wouldn't have admitted it if Evermind didn't admit to not knowing who the Backstreet Boys are). Sir Duke is super fun, it's just damn good for the length of the song. Master Blaster took several plays to win me over, and has the best singing of the group. I would've loved to hear Michael Jackson do a cover of that. They Won't Go When I Go is a nice ballad, very dark. That synth adds a not-insignificant amount of creepiness. Nice variety to introduce me to Stevie Wonder beyond Cherie Amor, but if I'm being 100% honest - which I am - this didn't grip me nearly as much as I wanted it to. They don't really stay with me, although they're good songs and I enjoy listening to them.

*   *   *

romdrums: Squarepusher [8.4]
1. Star Time 2
2. Hello Meow
3. 4001

I've heard about Squarepusher a lot but this is the first I've listened to them. There's a big video game soundtrack vibe to this music, especially Star Time 2 which reminds me a lot of Animal Crossing, and Hello Meow makes me think of Sonic the Hedgehog. I like the frantic activity in the rhythm section, while the melodies are easy to latch on to. There's an element of club music to these tracks, especially in 4001, that I think is super fun. I could totally see 4001 playing at a rave with those giant synth sounds. Each of these are interesting and fun tracks. It gets pretty crazy but always stays focused. Now this had some *fierce* competition this round, and admittedly it's not blowing me away,  but it's still really cool stuff!

*   *   *

Podaar: Vince Gill [8.4]
1. Take Your Memory With You
2. Liza Jane
3. One More Last Chance
4. These Days
5. If I Die
6. Guitar Singer

Last round: Frank Zappa - 8.3
Big country energy. Big 'my town' energy. I like it, I could play this at the jukebox at the local bars and finally wouldn't offend anyone. I dig the energy and speed of Liza Jane and Guitar Slinger. I'm shooting in the dark here but it seems like there's a big 90s vibe to most of these songs. I can hear it in the production, there's something peculiar about 90s music that sounds like this, It's uniquely identifiable, so I hope I'm right that they're from the 90s. Hell, I bet I've heard one of these songs in a movie somewhere. Anyway, these are good songs. I was sure from the first listen that I'd appreciate this, but it wasn't until I got a few listens in that I started to sink my teeth into them and really enjoy them. This is a side of country music I like. The slow songs with fiddles are almost a country stereotype, but it's the faster ones in this batch that I like the most, because I don't hear enough of that - that bar drinking party type of music. So it's not blowing my mind, but it's a refreshing, nice sound that I don't have much of in my library, and that's awesome.

*   *   *

Sacul: Justice [8.5]
1. Genesis
2. D.A.N.C.E
3. Newjack
4. Phantom Pt. II
5. DVNO

Okay this is more like it. Really fun beats in this, not sure what kind of genre you'd call this but I like it. D.A.N.C.E is the only one I'm not totally sure about. It's super fun, but the vocals and lyrics are on the bad side of corny. But DVNO is a total jam, and Genesis has a great vibe. Newjack and Phantom aren't bad at all, but they don't command my attention like DVNO. I'm guessing I would really like this album since I've already heard 5 songs from it, and the rest are like this, it's probably a good time.

*   *   *

kingshmegland: Joe Jackson [8.6]
1. I'm The Man
2. Is She Really Going Out With Him?
3. Steppin' Out
4. Be My Number Two

This is really fun stuff, Joe. I'm The Man is a great fun, confident rocker, and Steppin' Out has a massive 80s Toto vibe, the singing reeks of young Steve Lukather so this song is a home run for me. Be My Number Two is a great ballad, too, and the moment the sax comes in is powerful. Lots of power in that playing. Is She Really Going Out With Him? sounds the poppiest of the bunch to me, but it's the kind of pop I like. Kind of lighthearted and fun. I'm The Man and Steppin' Out are the stars of the pack, I love those songs and instantly put those on my playlist of favorite songs. Good tunes!

*   *   *

Elite: Ulver [8.6]
1. All the Love
2. England
3. It Is Not Sound
4. Southern Gothic
5. Nowhere/Catastrophe

I knew someone was eventually gonna send Ulver, so this was a nice treat. All the Love is in the style of Ulver I know (what little I'm familiar with, based on past roulettes) - airy, distant, minimalist, but with some feels - I like that. It's interesting to see the electronic elements creep in with each track; England didn't surprise me much, but the last minute or so of This Is Not Sound threw me for a loop. That was some big Gentle Giant energy and I like it a lot. Southern Gothic stands out to me. I really like Ulver's singer and I think he does best on that song, and All the Love. This is some really cool music, man - but they have so many albums. Where to even start, when all of these come from different records? All the Love and EOS (another favorite) come from Shadows of the Sun, so perhaps I should start there. They seem like a very 'sleepy' band but this tells me there might be more to them.

*   *   *

Puppies_On_Acid: Janelle Monáe [8.6]
1. Many Moons
2. Faster
3. Cold War
4. BaBopByeYa

This is really fun stuff. Many Moons is just a solid catchy number that really shows off her voice. It has a bit of Lady Gaga flair later in the song (just Googled: apparently this came out shortly before Lady Gaga was a thing, interesting) which I love. I really like this song. Faster is another fun one. Cold War slaps, and her voice shines in that one. Those three songs kick ass. BaBopByeYa though... numerous plays and I just can't remember anything about it even when I'm paying attention to it. Feels like it just goes on and on and on. Janelle seems quirky and really creative for a pop artist. I'm looking forward to checking out a record or two.

*   *   *

Evermind: Enigma [8.7]
1. The Gate
2. Seven Lives
3. Gravity of Love
4. Endless Quest
5. Goodbye Milky Way

The beats on these songs are so good. Really nice and those airy, spacey synth pads are a match made in heaven. Seven Lives is totally Backstreet Boys-y, in a good way. Each song has a very pretty vibe to it. Goodbye Milky Way reminds me of IQ a lot. The only one that hasn't really stuck with me is Endless Quest; it sets a good mood, but it doesn't stay with me like the other tracks. Gravity of Love and Goodbye Milky Way are probably my favorites here because of the beautiful atmosphere they create. Really curious about this artist - very cool surprise, thank you!

*   *   *

ariich: Submotion Orchestra [8.8]
1. Finest Hour
2. It's Not Me It's You
3. Hard to Stay

It's been a long time since I heard Kites, but I don't remember anything on that record hitting the way these songs do. There's more activity and emotion in this. And it's good - really good. Finest Hour is a perfect song, imo. Lovely groove, lovely voice. It's Not Me It's You is interesting. A friend of mine long ago introduced me to jungle music, a type of electronic music - this isn't quite that but the frantic beat reminds me of it. Didn't expect to hear that at all, and it's catchy. Hard to Stay has the same catchiness and groove, just slower. All of this impresses me a lot more than Kites did. Now I'm eager to revisit them soon. Good vibes.

*   *   *

Stadler: Elvis Presley [8.8]
1. Suspicious Minds
2. She Thinks I Still Care
3. Good Time Charlie's Got the Blues
4. An American Trilogy (Live at the Honolulu International Center)

I admire the boldness of sending the King of Rock n' Roll in an ideally non-rock roulette. Good thing you sent blues. This man can sing. What a voice! Dude was hard on the eyes but easy on the ears. The rest of the band plays very well, too - the sound of the guitar is delightful - but man he steals the show. Of the studio tracks, Suspicious Minds is my favorite, but I like them all. The live track is remarkable, and I really like the lyrics. I did a bunch of reading on Elvis's life while listening to these and learned a lot. Thanks for sending me this.

*   *   *

wolfking: Icehouse [8.9]
1. No Promises
2. Touch the Fire
3. Don't Believe Anymore
4. Can't Help Myself

It sounds like you doubled down on Hall & Oates's poppiness with this song, but that's not a bad thing at all. Touch the Fire is the highlight with a super strong hook - dare I say even stronger than the Hall & Oates songs. That is a perfect pop number. No Promises is really good too. Don't Believe Anymore and Can't Help myself are also good songs, but they don't grab me by the neck and make me hum the hook the way Touch the Fire does. The sudden fadeout in Can't Help myself always catches me by surprise, it feels like it should go on a bit longer before doing that. This is tasty pop music from a group I've never heard of before, thanks for showing me this.

*   *   *

Big Hath: Jason Isbell [9.1]
1. Alabama Pines
2. Elephant
3. Cover Me Up
4. Last of My Kind

This guy's lyrics are fantastic, man. Great poetry in each song, the best lyrics of the round for sure. I love the vibe of Alabama Pines and pieces of the music remind me of Kings of Leon's current sound which is a huge positive to me. Elephant is a powerful and beautiful song. Cover Me Up hits me in the feels even harder, though. Last of My Kind is a lovely pensive little number. I really dig the measured emotion and how down to Earth all these songs are. Kind of surprised I've never heard of this guy before.

*   *   *

Buddyhunter1: Revo (Bravely Default) [9.2]
1. That Person's Name Is
2. Wicked Battle
3. Wicked Flight
4. Serpent Eating The Ground

This is some of the best video game battle music I have ever heard. It really blows my mind how good this is. It's better than some of the Octopath Traveler boss battle music but is really similar in some ways, and the affinity for the lead violin reminds me of Motoi Sakuraba a lot - a huge plus. There's nothing bad about any of this, only epic, completely over the top symphonic rock. Reminds me of why I initially fell in love with power metal, honestly - this reminds me of Golden Sun's battle and boss battle themes, which directly led into me discovering some of my first power metal. I want to dock you points for being so brazenly metal, but... there's a lot more to this than that, the guitars and drums really aren't a focus at all for me here, the strings are doing all of the heavy lifting and are really fun to listen to. This was bravely delightful and never once got old or tiresome in the many times I replayed this. It would be nice if Bravely Default came to the Switch along with Bravely Default 2 when that comes out...

*   *   *

Bolsters: CHVRCHES [9.3]
1. The Mother We Share
2. Gun
3. Graffiti
4. Wonderland
5. Never Say Die

This is such a blast. The singer here really stands out compared to other synthwave artists. I don't know what it is, but I just love the way she sounds and how perfectly she works with those beats and synths, and she has power behind it, like in Graffiti. This music is one of my very favorite kinds to smoke to (before I gave it up). This is one of the strongest submissions of the round. A lot of synthwave I've heard sounds similar, but the ones that stand out have the best singers and the best hooks, and I think this is definitely up with the best. I'm in love with her voice. I think the first three are the strongest, but all of them rock.

*   *   *

Train of Naught: The Weeknd [9.4]
1. In Your Eyes
2. Blinding Lights
3. Hardest To Love
4. Heartless
5. After Hours

This was love at first listen. This is so fun. Each song has a unique vibe, and the melodies and beats complement each other so damn well. Hardest to Love in particular stands out, but they're all home runs. I love his singing and how well the beats and vocals and synths complement each other... It's a recipe for chill but engaging music - which I can't, but this kind of music seriously makes me want to learn how. I mean, After Hours does take a couple minutes to really get going, but that's a nitpick - when it gets going, it gets SO good. It finds a groovy pocket and just stays right in there, and they're always fire. Outstanding!

*   *   *

Shadow Ninja 2.0: CHVRCHES [9.4]
1. The Mother We Share
2. Lies
3. Clearest Blue
4. Leave a Trace

Hoo boy this is good. So, yeah, I wrote Bolsters' writeup first, but the same thing applies to this batch of CHVRCHES songs, too. You both sent the same song (The Mother We Share) but you have 2 unique picks that have become my favorites of all 9: Clearest Blue and Leave a Trace, which are f^&*ing HOT. Those songs are AMAZING. I loved all 9 songs from this artist, but those two are the highest of highs. Her voice is soooo good, and the music is high energy, danceable, catchy, and dynamic. Please inject this directly into my veins.

1. All the Love
2. England
3. It Is Not Sound
4. Southern Gothic
5. Nowhere/Catastrophe

Like I said in a previous comment though, you haven't even heard their black metal, folk, drone, ambient, modern classical, film scores etc. etc. yet. To say they're a 'sleepy' band would be very strange, considering the bunch of different things they've done.

'All the Love' comes from Shadows of the Sun, which is kind of a 'sleepy' album. Meandering, ambient-ish, but with enough to throw you off-guard at points. 'England' is from Wars of the Roses which is more art rock-ish I guess. I actually wanted to send the track 'September IV' from this one, since it's one of the few uplifting tracks the band has, but it didn't fit within 20 minutes. 'It is not Sound' is probably a top 25 Ulver track for me, though I might even enjoy 'Operator' from the same album (Blood Inside) more. This album they really intertwine rock and electronic to produce some cool stuff. 'Southern Gothic' is from The Assassination of Julius Caesar  which is their latest, but also most accessible record and the one that exposed the band to a far larger audience. I toyed with the idea of sending more tracks from this album in particular, and I feel like I might have actually scored better, but part of what makes this band so good (to me!) is their variety, so I decided to stick with the 'one song per album' thing. 'Nowhere/Catastrophe' is a top 15 Ulver track at least and I think it's a shame you didn't even mention it in the write-up. Perdition City is a largely instrumental trip-hop album and their best record as far as I'm concerned. Absolutely amazing stuff.

Enjoy getting into this group :)

“HOF: Sweet Billy Pilgrim [8.2]
1. Kalypso
2. Just Above Midtown
3. Chasing Horses
4. A Shelter of Reeds

This was definitely a grower, not a shower. I wasn't sure about this at first. Kalypso was a risky opener because at first listen it seems very plain, but repeat listens opened up the beauty to me, and I like the gentle crooning of Kalypso in the chorus.  Just Above Midtown is a nice contrast. Nice and upbeat, just a pleasant tune with a great hook. The other two just kind of go in one ear and out the other - pleasant when I focus on them, Chasing Horses sounds like a lot of nice soft indie rock bands, and A Shelter of Reeds is a sleepy little number, but I just fail to remember them when they're done. So there are two hits here - I don't think I've ever even seen this artist mentioned on DTF, so that's pretty cool.“

Man, A Shelter of Reeds was the highlight of this set in my view (though Kalypso and Midtown are awesome in a million ways as well). It’s aching, beautiful, and the lyrics are just so relevant to how I feel about the world right now (“the storm makes wolves of everyone”). I sneaked Chasing Horses in there to give the set a little more diversity, but it’s not one that I expected to have much impact. I do like it a lot though.

I love this band though. Just great songwriting everywhere, though there is a lot of quirkiness as well. They know how to write an amazing chorus and their songs have a tendency to start weird before blossoming into something beautiful.

I’m gonna send you at least one more quiet set because that’s what resonates with me right now. I fully expect to keep bringing up the rear with jingle.boy.

I'll be sharing a massive list of artists/albums I'd like to explore after the roulette (so my weeks/months of post-roulette listening will be dominated by what I dig from this roulette), so I'll certainly be giving more time to everyone's submissions no matter what the person's score is in the game. Scores are just a formality anyway, I think it's more worthwhile to focus on where the songs rank compared with the other submissions rather than the final score itself. But that's just me, and I'm a hypocrite because I'm panicking about keeping 1st place in Rich's roulette.  :lol

HOF, I really look forward to what else you have in store. You never know what will click with me and what won't. Well, maybe a little bit...

If you're going to dig in, try to find some of Vince Gill's instrumental work; that dude is a MONSTER guitar player.  I mean, top of the line (he's done a TON of sessions in Nashville, and that says something).  I would check out all of Joe Jackson's "Night And Day" (from which Steppin' Out is taken).   

Elvis is tough because his catalogue is a holy mess; studio albums, compilations, live stuff.  I would seek out the '70's "Walk A Mile In My Shoes" box set, if you like what I sent you.  After that, "Moody Blue" and "Elvis Country" are solid.

Just suggestions.  TAC can dig in to these as well.  :)

I opened with my favourite tune because I just wanted to make sure the quality of The Weeknd got to you before any potential bias (though knowing your tastes, I don't think you're one to write off music because it's too 'radio-friendly' at all). I think After Hours is one of my top 3 albums of this year, maybe even #1. Definitely give it a listen!

By the way, I moved around the next two artists in my playlist (and will probably still swap out one song on the artist that is no longer the next one up), please note. :) Will continue making these adjustments before listening starts

No problem Kade. Sacul, I checked out Planisphere, "a bit long" is an understatement, but it's really cool.

Train, I listened to The Weeknd's new album this afternoon and it was fantastic. Seriously, amazing album, thank you for the heads up. I think it was on a friend's list back in March, but I had so many records to listen to for the middle of March that I probably skipped right past it and didn't even consider listening to it. Damn.

There's already been sooooo much good stuff sent, man, I can't wait to see what the rest of the roulette brings. Literally every submission has something I at least enjoy enough to save to my 'favorites' playlist, which has evolved from mostly metal into just a chaotic melting pot of everything under the sun in the last couple years.

It was interesting that Shadow and I chose to feature different CHVRCHES albums alongside their debut (he chose songs from their second, I chose from their third). It took me a while to fully appreciate the third but I love it now, it might even be my favourite, so I went with it to show how the band had matured since the first. However, I had a feeling the Ninja would come out ahead in the scores because everyone else seems to prefer album two over album three.

I'll have a chance to listen to some stuff in a few hours, and finalise the next submission.

I just haven't really listened to it enough to know any of the songs outside of Graffiti. My thoughts on the album as a whole when I listened through was about the same as the other two; some songs I thought were great, others that were good, and a few I didn't really care for. I haven't gone back through it much like I have with the other two yet.

Nice  :metal I love the synthier/dreamier approach on the new one. I considered sending Starboy (title track on previous album) but it’s definitely a different vibe. That album is as catchy as the new one if not catchier, but not as.. pleasant? It has a bit more of a ‘club music’ vibe that I’m not that into. But the title track is pretty cool (featuring Daft Punk)

It’s in my top 3 of the year right now. My top 2 are probably O’Brother and Regarde Les Hommes Tomber but I can’t send those in this roulette :lol

I told him that I wasn't sure if it was acceptable and would have been happy to come up with something else.  Was very happy he let it in.  Love the singer and the tunes.

God, what a shit band. I was listening to Bill Burr's latest podcast yesterday and he said exactly what I've been saying for years. 80s hair metal (for the most part) is some of the worst music ever made. Some of it, a very small amount of it, is good. But holy shit Ratt sucks harder than Tim's takes on people's music in this thread  :lol

A couple thoughts on the last few posts...

I remember RATT had a song on some compilation. I believe it was Train Kept a Rollin'. They were up and coming. I bought their first album when Round And Round was released.
This is actually a really cool song, and hell yes that solo section is amazing. That said, this album was really disappointing. That and Stephen Pearcy blows.

Can you believe that for their next album, they headlined a tour with Bon Jovi opening in 1985?



I love Bill Burr. But I've tried his podcast, and well, it moves too slow. I don't have time for that. His stand up is A++.

Yes, you are correct. That's it. And it wasn't that bad. At least to my 14 or 15 y/o ears. They were highly touted. But they did indeed suck. I actually didn't mind the band as much as I couldn't stand the singer.

I think I may have handcuffed myself by reading to much into the "no metal" part of this roulette and avoiding anything remotely rocking. In all three rounds so far (and what I've got lined up for future rounds), I could have chosen the same artists and given examples of their more rocking (but not metal) tunes. I have a feeling that I could have scored better. Oh well.

Well, but honestly that's like asking how I can like Toto but not like The Beatles. Just 'cause they came earlier doesn't mean I gotta like 'em. IMO Judas Priest has awful lyrics and their image has never been appealing to me, their whole 'leather and metal' schtick is cornier than dragons and magic to me, honestly. And they have thin, forgettable riffs and a terrible singer. One of my least favorite metal bands ever, one of the only few I actively dislike.

Also I rag on so much power metal I have friends who are convinced I'm a prog metal snob which is even funnier because I bag on prog metal all the time. Good power metal is really fucking good, but the vast majority of it is terrible and even worse than 80s hair metal.

I'll have first impressions up probably this afternoon. I've been slammed with work this morning

A couple people sent me Judas Priest songs in a past roulette despite me issuing a dire warning against doing so. They scored miserably, as predicted, the worst scores of the roulette if I remember correctly.

The Beatles have lots of good tunes. They also have a bunch of crap

I LIKE Judas Priest (first concert ever!) but I understand the criticisms.  There is as much in the catalogue I don't like as that which I do.   I recognize that it's an odd position for an Iron Maiden or Kiss fan to take, but I just find Priest so... cartoon-y and, honestly, a little fake.   I think Priest wanted their cake and to eat it too; they wanted the metal cred of Maiden, and the commercial success of a Rainbow or Kiss, and so started walking the line.  For all the pomp of Maiden, they never really adopted the sort of "mettle" (because that's how Rob pronounces it) approach.  The music was what it was, and if they wanted to do a 15 minute epic, or a ballad, they did.  I think Priest was more calculating in that way. 

It bugged me a - A LOT - that Priest always talked about "their fans", but Maiden and Kiss always seemed, in their own way, more respectful of their fans.  Sure, Kiss fleeced their catalogue like pros, but there isn't a major band that is as accessible as Kiss, and Maiden is as good as any band at being responsible to their catalogue and giving their fans an opportunity to see all facets of the band, warts and all.   

It also bugged me - A LOT - that Maiden and even Kiss would put out live stuff and it was either a complete show or they told you where the material came from.  There are few full shows from Priest, and even the stuff that was so obvious was passed off as "a live track from one of our many world tours over the years".  I thought that was cheesy.

The TAC rule, as it's known, also in effect in ariich's roulette, applies to mine as well, just in case you still want to use it. You just have to inform me that you want to use Toby Fox or Megalovania specifically in a future round, before round 3's results, but if you do, you have to use it when the time comes. Your choice, you can gamble and reserve it before you see how it does, or you can sit it out  :corn

Surely, Duran Duran is the 'heroes' comment.

@ King... wait until you see what I have planned next round.

@ Stads... gotta find that.  Or wait until you find it for me.   ;D

More than happy to oblige:   http://www.duranduran.com/wordpress/2015/duran-duran-performances-jools-holland-live-october-20-23rd-bbc-2/

I gave you that link in case you want to see the other performances.  The one in question is at the bottom.  (And may I say, in that picture John Taylor is quite the handsome man for 60.)

1. Not blowing me away, but it's groovy, baby
2. Work isn't the best place for this. Maybe the nursing home. Got bored quickly. [Cyril - Gregory Alan Isakov]
3. I don't know if these are stronger than the last time I heard this group or not. BoInG
4. Charming and cute, but not too compelling.
5. Well that was kind of a lot of nothing... [Shadow Ninja 2.0 - Bohren & der Club of Gore]
6. Tasty guitar tone, fun jams. Really good stuff.
7. Inoffensive, restrained... beautiful take on a classic.
8. Bold of you to assume I like the fockin' Beatles, yikes
9. That was pleasant and put me in a good mood. That voice is super easy on the ears
10. Spacey and enjoyable, but I wonder if it has staying power [Evermind - Easily Embarrassed]
11. Extravagant. Hoping I can remember more of this on repeat listens
12. This was quaint and pretty. I will save these for when I drink out of my steins.
13. I hope for your sake that this grows on me because I really don't know if I like this or hate it yet
14. Bold of you to assume I like Sammy fookin' Hagar, wow
15. Smart, beautiful, riveting. Big thumbs up.
16. Keep this up and you'll be rising like Shadow Ninja in Rich's roulette. That was really cool, interesting stuff
17. Nice Seinfeld bass playing, otherwise I am not quite sure what to think yet
18. This might be a little more fun and playful than your first two submissions although not as immediately satisfying, but I can see this growing on me by the end of this round [ariich - The Cat Empire]
19. Not at all what I expected going into this based on the name. Groovy and fun, really enjoyed this

For anyone checking out the D2:

- All four songs are really well done;
- They sound better on a system as opposed to a computer speaker;
- I'm not sure how Prince Harry got the gig as guitar player;
- I'm not sure how Jason Batemen got the gig as Simon's replacement.

No - and I had to go look up the album and songs you sent from it, doesn't look like there are any covers there so definitely not :P

Elite, no, but if you multiply that by 2 and then add the first digit you'll have yours.

The comparisons with last round might be misleading because last round was incredibly strong and this one, well, frankly, is not as strong :lol

"Bombing" also might be way too harsh of a word considering you've gotten 8s so far :) the competition and the submissions have mostly been strong AF, so very little so far I've disliked. So far... And even those at the bottom have sent me stuff I like, so this is why I hate scoring!  :rollin

You're all in luck.

So, just being honest here: the scoring is gonna get tougher from here on out. I can't imagine anything getting less than a 7.0, both out of fairness and how much I enjoy music, but this round tells me there could easily be a 2.x point gap between scores in future rounds. This round was almost an even split between stuff I probably won't revisit and stuff I'm curious about exploring more. There are 5 rounds to change your score, so no need to worry, in fact I myself don't think you should pay attention to the scores, but that's just me. I still enjoy listening to what everyone has to offer each round. I really hate having to say that each week but I empathize with the people in the bottom half, so don't feel bad, please. :)

*   *   *

Shadow Ninja 2.0: Bohren & der Club of Gore [7.4]
1. Im Rauch
2. Fahr Zur Hölle
3. Darkstalker

Ah, man... I love mellow stuff but there was hardly anything going on here. Even in super chill stuff I like some kind of music going on that I can latch onto, a little rhythmic motif, or a light melody, something. None of that is really present here. It just kind of limps to the finish line in each track and says nothing. I mean, it's not BAD, but I just failed to find anything to connect with here. I'm not sure what kind of context I could listen to this in to enjoy it.

*   *   *

jingle.boy: Duran Duran [7.6]
1. The Reflex (Dance Mix)
2. Rio
3. The Wild Boys

I first heard "Rio" in South Park. Watch this from 2:00 to the end. (https://youtu.be/5yTMk_ur9kE)

I went into this expecting to like it, but man, I was let down big time. I just can't get into this, man. I'm not gonna tear it apart - Rio has a great hook and the sax is always a good thing - but whoever this singer is just can't sing imo. I hesitate to call this bad, but I just don't like this. This is a bit 'too' 80s, in a bad way.

*   *   *

kingshmegland: The Feeling [7.6]
1. Love It When You Call
2. Never Be Lonely
3. Strange
4. Sewn

This is nauseatingly similar to The Beatles and I do not like The Beatles. There are a couple nice vocal melodies throughout this, but Love It When You Call and Sewn are almost blatant Beatles worship. Never Be Lonely has kind of a nice vibe and vocal melody, it's my favorite of the bunch. I gotta be honest - this does nothing for me and sounds a little generic.

*   *   *

Podaar: Bullmark (Interstate '76) [7.7]
1. Interstate '76 Theme
2. Vigilante Shuffle
3. Desert Sky Groove
4. The T'aint
5. Spineless Funk
6. Tulip Waltz
7. Never Get Outta the Car (Extended Slap Mix)
8. Reggae Fusion

This was curious. But I can't say it's calling me back to replay it at all. It definitely sounds like music I've heard in some other 90s racing/simulation games, where it's there to have some groove and funk for menu navigation or simple levels, but doesn't have the bite and depth or complexity of real funk or jazz. Maybe I'm being too hard on it, I don't know, but the hooks/melodies aren't strong enough to make me think, "Holy shit!" like a lot of my favorite game music. It is nice to hear some groovy stuff written for a video game, but at the same time I'm not sure it's a soundtrack that I find impressive. It's certainly not bad music, but as a devourer of rich, melodic game music, perhaps I have an unreasonably high standard. This was the most curious entry of the round, and I spent a lot of time thinking about it. The audio poetry was interesting to read as well. Sounds like a curious game, and perhaps I would enjoy the music more in context while actually playing it, if I were to ever pick it up somehow.

Train of Naught: Vulfpeck [7.9]
1. Welcome to Vulf Records
2. Back Pocket
3. Fugue State
4. 1612
5. Animal Spirits
6. Dean Town

Fugue State sounds like Animal Crossing music. I like that. Overall it's pretty happy funk music, and it's charming, but bizarrely it also kind of rubs me a weird way - funk that's happy-go-lucky like this sounds like... I don't know. Makes me think of TV commercials for some reason. The singing sounds kind of sterile to me. I didn't dig this very much, unfortunately, but I admire that it's something different, it's a bit refreshing in that sense.

*   *   *

Puppies_On_Acid: Tenhi [7.9]
1. Revontulet
2. Varpuspävä
3. Katve
4. Pojan Kiiski

What is this, the low key round? These songs never really build to a climax, or have strong hooks. They're nice folksy, woodsy tunes with some lovely pipes and guitars every now and then, though. Always forget what the BoInG-y instrument is, but Tenhi remains the only artist I can think of to use it regularly. The lack of memorable hooks or melodies in this is a big knock against it, but at the same time, I enjoy listening to these and they set a nice mood. They do a really good job of sounding like they're playing in the woods at night. I just wish I remembered more of the music even after multiple listens.

Evermind: Easily Embarrassed [8.0]
1. Time Holes
2. Little Match Sister
3. Little Trees And Mysteries

I would describe this the same way I described The Comet Is Coming: alien cocaine dance party music. That is exactly what this sounds like. Music that would play at an alien party with a whole bunch of lines on the tables. Pretty cool stuff, honestly. Little Trees & Mysteries is my favorite because of that kickass Spanish guitar over the electronic beat. The other two rock, too, and have a much groovier rhythm, but LT&M has that easy, head-boppable beat that I dig so much. I'm not sure it's blowing my mind, but it's cool background music, just not sure how often I'd go back to this when the similar stuff from last round was more compelling imo.

*   *   *

ariich: The Cat Empire [8.1]
1. Fishies
2. Song for the Day
3. The Rhythm
4. The Lost Song
5. Til the Ocean Takes Us All

Okay, so I don't find much of the singing impressive, although I do really like it in some songs (like the end of Til the Ocean Takes Us All, that's some good stuff). But musically, this is really fun! The horns are really the highlight of all the songs and give them most of their character, imo. The reggae vibe of The Lost Song is super cool, the singer's voice is a bit odd but over time I grew to appreciate its unique qualities. I really dig Fishies, The Rhythm, and The Lost Song here. Nothing bad, nothing super impressive, but it's fun and different.

*   *   *

wolfking: Jimmy Barnes [8.1]
1. Driving Wheels
2. Too Much Ain't Enough Love
3. Waiting For The Heartache
4. Let's Make It Last All Night

There's a big Sammy Hagar energy to this guy and these songs. If you had sent me Driving Wheels as an MP3 and labeled it Sammy Hagar, I would've 100% believed it was sung by a young Sammy. That song rocks, I like it a lot. But overall, especially the other three, I've bought this album a thousand times, heard it a million times. I did save Driving Wheels to my favorites playlist; his singing elevates that to the level of something I could listen to regularly, I could easily slot that into a playlist of Jorn and Sammy Hagar and similar rock stars.

*   *   *

Big Hath: Kevin Gilbert/Giraffe [8.2]
1. Giraffe - Because of You
2. Kevin Gilbert - Goodness Gracious
3. Kevin Gilbert - Certifiable #1 Smash
4. Giraffe - Progress

For the most part I can't say the singing does anything for me. I'm known to be picky with singing, though. It's not bad singing. It's just kind of bland in my opinion. The hooks aren't bad either, but they don't grip me. Certifiable #1 Smash is the highlight of this group... what a weird song. Has the energy of a metal song, the groove of a funk song at times, and then it goes totally into new territory when he's talking to the audience, like an impromptu section of a live concert where the band vamps and the frontman rambles for a while. Totally threw me for a loop at first, but I came to really enjoy this one because of how unique it is, I don't think there's anything else like it in my library, which is awesome. Progress is another highlight. So overall while the singing doesn't do much for me, there's some bizarre, creative stuff here that I both dislike and like. It kind of see-saws, but I think it was worth it since Certifiable #1 Smash and Progress are really good.

*   *   *

Bolsters: Mree [8.4]
1. To See the Light
2. Into the Well
3. Monsters
4. On Echo

I liked this a lot. It didn't leave much of an impression on me at first but I quickly warmed up to this. It reminds me of several indie bands + a lot of Múm, but with a little more urgency and rhythmic activity than Múm. I like all of these songs, but I think Into the Well and On Echo are my favorites. Mree clearly focuses on a delicate, pretty atmosphere and they do a good job at it. I'm not sure what kind of genre this counts as, some kind of art pop maybe, but whatever it is, it's very nice. The singer has a gorgeous voice and I really like the string arrangements especially in On Echo.

*   *   *

Stadler: Jeff Beck [8.6]
1. She's a Woman
2. Head for Backstage Pass
3. Blue Wind
4. Freeway Jam

I didn't expect entirely instrumental selections. This is some nice bluesy jam stuff. The rhythm section in a couple of these is striking, Head for Backstage Pass and Blue Wind especially. The audible, punchy bass is fun to listen to. Blue Wind is a real standout piece: fun drum fills and rolls, cool active bass, and awesome guitar and synth tones. I had a hard time telling some of the synth soloing from the guitar at first. Right at 4:25 in Blue Wind, by the way, is a short melodic idea that I feel like I've heard a hundred times elsewhere but I can't figure out where I would've heard it. Freeway Jam is another tasty jam but the guitar is finally the standout star, the melodic choices and way the guitar sings (and takes time off to let the rhythm section breathe) is very nice. Blue Wind is definitely my favorite of the bunch, but all of these are good jams and fun to listen to. Nice stuff.

*   *   *

Buddyhunter 1: Toby Fox (Undertale) [8.7]
1. MEGALOVANIA
2. Another Medium
3. Death By Glamour
4. Undertale
5. Hopes And Dreams
6. His Theme
7. Last Goodbye

This is a mixed bag, ranging from good to really good. MEGALOVANIA is nice, but sounds like a generic "go get 'em" metal-y video game piece. Another Medium has nice grooves, and Undertale is a really delicate, delightful piece although it's rather long for something that repeats the same idea sooo much. Death By Glamour has an infectious energy and a killer saxophone hook, and Hopes and Dreams has similar energy and a REALLY strong melodic hook. The synths shine in that one. His Theme is better than the game's eponymous song, because it's short and sweet, and I like the arrangement of the bells and strings more. The marching drums and brass swells lend a lot to the stoic atmosphere of this piece. I really love the synth sound in Last Goodbye and the mood of that piece; the quick fall when the melody rises reminds me a little of Legend of Zelda. So overall, I really dig the faster moments in this music and a lot of the melodic choices are right up my alley. Not blowing me away, but it's good stuff with some high moments. Cool!

*   *   *

HOF: Paul Buchanan/The Blue Nile [8.8]
1. Paul Buchanan - The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face
2. The Blue Nile - Regret
3. The Blue Nile - Family Life
4. The Blue Nile - Tinseltown in the Rain

First, the Paul Buchanan song. Lovely cover of a classic, with that airy Paul Buchanan flavor. I really enjoy that one. It's moody but still has enough melody to latch onto it and remember it. The Blue Nile pieces - honestly, for some reason I thought The Blue Nile only had one album, Hats. I love that record. I was surprised to hear these three songs. Regret and Family Life remind me of the softest moments on Hats, and they're GOOD. That's the kind of low key, soft music I like a lot, and Paul Buchanan just seems to have a way with that style of music. He makes it work very well. Something about his singing, his voice works well with it. Tinseltown in the Rain is nice, and a good contrast to all the other somber stuff. Reeks of the 80s, in a good way. Reminds me of Hats a lot. Looks like I have some more Blue Nile exploring to do, thanks, dude!

*   *   *

Indiscipline: Pentangle [8.8]
1. A Maid That's Deep In Love
2. Cruel Sister
3. Hunting Song

I think I like A Maid That's Deep In Love much more than the last time I heard it - maybe that's because I'm hearing it with other Pentangle songs, so it has some context. Maybe I just like it more. Maybe both. I wasn't sure about this stuff at first. It was pleasant but didn't really stick with me. On repeats though, I came to really enjoy the vocal melodies and how they use repetition to drill the musical themes into my head... Moreso on Maid... and Cruel Sister. Hunting Song is really nice. These are all songs I could easily imagine playing in a tavern. They all make me think of taverns in World of Warcraft, actually :) This has a big charm to it and I went from not thinking much of it to it being one of my favorites this round. There's plenty of mood, melody, and rhythmic activity which I like. No one element is sacrificed to favor another and the music benefits from that.

*   *   *

romdrums: Keith Emerson [9.0]
1. Piano Concerto, No. 1: Allegro giocoso
2. Piano Concerto, No. 1: Andante molto cantabile
3. Piano Concerto, No. 1: Toccata con fuoco

I didn't expect this at all from Keith Emerson, but in hindsight maybe I should have expected exactly this. This is magnificent and top notch classical music. The orchestra sounds rich and full. The swells of an orchestra are one of my favorite things in music and when the brass section roars, it gives me goosebumps. There is a musical motif repeated in the last couple of minutes that I believe is in the exact same key and follows a very similar melodic pattern to that of the main theme of the Lord of the Rings movies, which makes me very happy and I love hearing it, it's a fantastic way to cap off the 18 minute journey. I can hear Keith Emerson's style whenever he's playing, and the orchestra is exquisite. This was a big grower. Fantastic music.

*   *   *

Sacul: Saltillo [9.1]
1. Giving In
2. A Hair on the Head of John the Baptist
3. Denim
4. They All Do It The Same

Now that's what I call Sacul music! I REALLY liked this. Perfect blend of chill beats, nice melodies, and relaxed yet measured emotion. I get some Portishead/Morcheeba vibes from a lot of this, based on what I've heard by those acts. But the star of the show here is A Hair on the Head of John the Baptist. LOVE the beat and what the keys are doing, the hook is catchy, and the sampling just works really well with the rest of the music. They All Do It The Same is another really good piece that actually reminds me of Chroma Key in some ways. Man, this is some good stuff, I enjoyed the hell out of this.

*   *   *

Elite: Kamasi Washington [9.1]
1. Re Run
2. Clair de Lune

Man this is just delightful, what else can I say? Re Run is a really nice jazz piece, but the star here is clearly - obviously - Clair de Lune. The idea to take a timeless piano piece and turn it into a jazz ballad is a bold one, but the execution is genius. It's constantly engaging and asking for my attention without showboating or trying too hard to emote, it knows exactly what it's doing and there are some really cool things in here like the jagged sound of the violin halfway through. The main motif is arranged beautifully, and Kamasi - who I assume is playing the lead sax - is a wonderful player. I wonder why I've never heard of him before. This is mighty impressive, and I loved this more with each listen. I would suggest everybody at least check out Clair de Lune to hear why I enjoyed this so much.

As much as I love Hats (It’s a top 10 album of all time for me probably), there are days when both A Walk Across the Rooftops and Peace at Last rival it for me. Those three albums are each magnificent in their own way. The debut has more of a Talking Heads/Peter Gabriel vibe (Gabriel was himself influenced by it and a huge fan) while Peace at Last is more of an acoustic guitar album that really suits Buchanan’s voice well IMO. Definitely check those out. Their fourth and last album High is solid but not quite up to the standard of the first three. There are also a ton of great TBN songs that were left off albums as B-sides (like Regret was) or never even officially released. There’s a lot of good stuff to explore!

Buchanan has sung on a bunch of random stuff outside The Blue Nile as well and I keep digging up gems like The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face. His voice is so pure and honest, and he has a way with words as well. Such a great artist and band and I love being able to introduce people to them.

I just Google imaged Simon LeBon. Holy shit that's what was considered hot in the 80s? I'm so fucking glad I was born in 91  :rollin WTF is with that hair?!

Dude, he was pussy central in the 80's. It was nuts.

So pussy AND nuts? Sure, probably both.

You missed the period you nilly willy. *don't say it*

Also I'll be honest with you, I'm looking at my shortlist of video game soundtracks to send you for the rest of the roulette and the level of quality isn't quite where I'd like it to be. :P A lot of it works well in-game but the amount of video game music I seriously enjoy listening to on its own is a bit limited. There's at least a few non-video game, non-prog or metal artists I could send that I personally enjoy much more and I think would go over well. But I did say I'd be willing to send you nothing but video game music, so... the choice is yours. I can stick to that promise or I can throw some other stuff in there too that might be better suited for standalone listening.

Simon LeBon "just can't sing"

Said one person ever.

Edit: Gregg... you pain me.

Until I've read your's and Stadler's views on Duran Duran, I've literally never known anyone who thought LeBon could sing worth a shit...including Mrs. P who is the biggest '80's pop fan in the world.


I'm here to stick up for Chad.  I think you're all off your rockers.  No, he's not Fred Mercury, but he can sing almost anything.   Save A Prayer, Lonely In Your Nightmare, Ordinary World...   Granted, DD is sort of a "more than the sum of it's parts" band, but I think they're excellent.  And one of the few of those 80's "new Romantic" bands that lasted, and for good reason.

Certifiable #1 Smash is the highlight of this group... what a weird song. Has the energy of a metal song, the groove of a funk song at times, and then it goes totally into new territory when he's talking to the audience, like an impromptu section of a live concert where the band vamps and the frontman rambles for a while. Totally threw me for a loop at first, but I came to really enjoy this one because of how unique it is, I don't think there's anything else like it in my library, which is awesome.

funny.  I figured you would either love or hate that part.  Glad you liked it.

The tone of his guitar in that piece is unbelievable. And the clarity of every single note even in the fastest parts makes it an absolute delight to listen to from start to finish. Amazing piece of music, would love to learn how to play that on piano

I'm not sure there's an artist out there whose SKILLS I like more and his actual recorded output I like less than George Michael.   He's got a voice like velvet, chocolate and a fine cabernet all rolled into one, and yet... we get "Wake Me Up Before You Go-go" (Don't leave me hangin' on like a yo-yo!)

I'll say this because I'm pretty sure it's not on the list, but his version of "Somebody to Love" is breathtaking.  That's a guy that needed a...  Tim Rice-Oxley, or a Tony Banks as a collaborator, to give him something to sink his teeth into and really SING.   IMO, of course.  IMO.

For me the big benefit of the spreadsheet is being able to make changes really quickly and easily. Though I have to say I am stretching its capacity and functionality in my current EP round, definitely having to do some manual elements as well. :lol

I have played Ori And The Blind Forest but I definitely wasn't planning on sending any music from it.

Also I know the Silent Hill series has fantastic music but I'm not familiar enough with the series to actually pick out some songs from it so I'm glad someone else has done it for me :biggrin:

Post by: TAC on June 23, 2020, 09:00:53 PM
Yeah, the Isakov was pretty good, and the Cloud Cult is one of the best things I've ever been sent in any of my roulettes.



Oh, and I finished my Crabpressions. But it's 11:00 in the Atlantic Northeast, so I'll post them as soon as I get home from work tomorrow.  ;D

Interesting one favoured EJ's instrumental tracks yet the other favoured his vocal tracks.
Title: Re: The Walrus's Lead-Free Roulette -- Round 4 hangwalrus

The Cloud Cult songs are:

1. Chemicals Collide (live)
2. No One Said it Would be Easy (live)
3. Complicated Creation (live)
4. Love and the First Law of Thermodynamics (live)
5. Good Friend (live)

And Clarence Clarity is probably Train, and the songs are:

1. Buck-Toothed Particle Smashers
2. W€ CHANG£
3. Those Who Can’t, Cheat
4. The Gospel Truth
5. Porn Mountain

I did not send either of these Eric Johnson entries, but I had sent one ahead for another round. I decided to pull it since we’ve already had two now. My list was quite different (only one overlapping song with the other two lists) and I think avoided any of EJ’s more rock or progressive moments. He has a pretty diverse catalog and plays in a number of non-rock styles. I had a feeling someone else might send him.

Eric Johnson is quite eligible. He's not banned, never has been, and was never sent in another roulette of mine, surprisingly (as far as I can remember). I was actually hoping for a long time someone would send some of his stuff...

I'm skipping impressions this round because I am just swamped with work this week. Comparisons are coming though.  Instead of impressions, here are some... impressions :lol about the round in general... Better than round 3, not as good as round 2 - probably on par with round 1, overall. There are only a few artists I'm not really feeling, but nothing I outright dislike... I think?

There are certain players finding themselves locked into certain score trajectories. That's fine. There is a trend developing with stuff that's really out there scoring higher than the safer stuff. Not always true, but I mean, that's the fundamental spirit of the roulette showing, so... it is what it is  :corn

“But Katt! What about rock music?” So… I don’t want to be a tight-ass about rock, but I want to discourage sending it. If you must send something rock-oriented, at least make it adventurous, for my sake and the sake of your score. Blues and rock go hand in hand, but I’d prefer it lean heavily into the blues elements. Folk rock, I don’t really know what it is but I know it when I hear it… I’m not really looking for that, but again, if you must, make it adventurous. If it’s funky, it better be funky. Post-rock, of course, is welcome because, well, I love post-rock, I’ve heard a lot of it, but there’s a lot of different kinds of post-rock. What I will put a hard ban on is anything that can be called ‘classic rock’ or ‘hard rock.’ I’m really not looking for rock music in this roulette but I probably won’t turn it down either as long as it isn’t basic bitch rock n’ roll, if you’re desperate.

From the OP. I'm going to be stricter on rock submissions going forward. Only send rock if you really don't have other genres to pick from, please. Spirit of the roulette, y'know. Some of the best shit has been completely out of left field

i think only one of my submissions could even vaguely be lumped into "rock" and even then i'd be hard-pressed to call it rock

Re-posting this as I'm expecting to see a lot more of those vs in the future :biggrin:

Also I'll be honest with you, I'm looking at my shortlist of video game soundtracks to send you for the rest of the roulette and the level of quality isn't quite where I'd like it to be. :P A lot of it works well in-game but the amount of video game music I seriously enjoy listening to on its own is a bit limited. There's at least a few non-video game, non-prog or metal artists I could send that I personally enjoy much more and I think would go over well. But I did say I'd be willing to send you nothing but video game music, so... the choice is yours. I can stick to that promise or I can throw some other stuff in there too that might be better suited for standalone listening.

I remember when Donkey Kong came out Nintendo released a promotional video of some sort (must have been on VHS, not sure how we got it) that talked about the production of the game and mentioned that they developed the soundtrack as something that people might want to listen to outside of the game. The music was pretty cool from what I remember.

Is it a spicy meatball that I said miss me with DKC2 and 3? I don't think those games are anywhere near as fun or well-designed as the first DKC. Hell even the controls aren't as good, and somehow the visuals are worse than in the first. The music isn't as good either. :(

Yes, and? I sent 5 songs that are fairly different, but all enjoyable in their own regard :)
20 minutes is not a lot + I wanted to cover all their albums as well.

It was, but I was also working on it in short bursts at my work computer. I thought I had saved my progress on it and left it open overnight, but then I came in this morning and everything was closed and Microsoft was trying to update Edge, not sure what happened or why, but I lost it. Silly me. Hence why I may just buy a Chromebook since those can fulfill all my laptop needs these days.

Thankfully I've heard the music so much that re-writing the results won't be that much of a hassle, and I type very quickly... it's just a bit tedious.

Google docs save automatically and don't need to be sent back and forth - you can access and edit them from any computer and even your phone if you get the app. Not trying to be preachy, just letting you know you'll likely avoid situations like this in the future if you use them. :)

I am all ready to post results, but I have noticed something. I do not check what anybody's scores are until I have the write-ups finished and ordered in the order I score them. What I've noticed though is that with so many players, there is a score gap that is widening rapidly. With the current scores, there is a 2.8 point gap between first and last place. With so many participants, I'm wondering if anybody would like to see a 'squish' - I would add up the scores this round, then divide them in 2, effectively cutting the gap in half. I would maybe do it again at the end of round 6.

I offer this because I've struggled to come up with a decent scoring system for so many people, I guess, and the huge gap means it'll be impossible for a lot of people to catch up with others, and I don't want to do a squish without asking first. For example there's a sizeable gap between last place and the person just above them as well as another noticeable gap between two other sets of players. The scores in the results would remain as is, I would just do the squish once (now) and then once again 2 rounds from now. That's it.

So yeah feel free to chime in. Results will be posted sometime tomorrow after chewing on this for a while.

Like I mean part of me thinks "well that's how the game is played, you send worse stuff you get left behind" but I pick bad scoring systems  :lol
Title: Re: The Walrus's Lead-Free Roulette -- Round 4 comparisons
Post by: Crow on June 26, 2020, 08:04:46 PM
a 2.8 gap between first and last place is actually a very, very small gap and your scoring probably needs to have a wider range, not a smaller one  :lol

just as an example, for the two roulettes where i've used a 0-10 cumulative scoring system;
score gap of 12 at the end of round 10 (https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=44434.msg2026520#msg2026520)
score gap of 13 at the end of round 10 (https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=50206.msg2351197#msg2351197)

your 2.8 scoring range is over a third of the way into the roulette, so if you follow the same course it'll be about 7.5 by the end of round 8 (and would come out to about 9.3 if you were running a 10 round roulette)
Title: Re: The Walrus's Lead-Free Roulette -- Round 4 comparisons
Post by: The Walrus on June 26, 2020, 08:07:26 PM
I mean it's fairly wide for what it is but frankly if I made it wider the people on the low end are royally screwed and the ones up top are gonna coast to the finish.  :lol

EDIT: Oh actually I do see what I can do to adjust them properly hmmm

No. Your score are how you felt. Good or bad for me it's what you liked or disliked. Don't change the scoring. 

I'm not a fan of people changing the scoring methodology part-way thru.  You don't need to cater to anyone's feelings.  If people are participating in a roulette are gonna get butt-hurt over their scores, they should probably not play.  Sharing music first; scoring/ranking second.  Of course everyone wants to be competitive and win in this 'game', but there's no need to 'penalize' the people who are sending you the music that most appeals to you in order to soothe the snowflakes who are sucking wind.  I don't think I've seen anyone crying the blues over their poor scores - it's kind of expected with the terrible taste in music you have  :biggrin:

All that said, it's your roulette... you make the call.

PS.  1.5 good songs.  That's it.

Post by: The Walrus on June 27, 2020, 07:58:57 AM
All right, the people have spoken, here we go.

*   *   *

Indiscipline: Janis Ian [7.9]
1. Applause
2. Sweet Sympathy
3. Dance With Me
4. Stars

My guy, as often as I came back to this, I honestly can say I struggle even now to think of anything to say about this. It's completely, 100% inoffensive, but also does nothing for me. It is not bad, and her voice is just fine, but that's it: it's all just fine. I don't dislike this, but I don't really like it either.

*   *   *

kingshmegland: CPR [8.0]
1. Morrison
2. That House
3. Breathless
4. Katie Did

I don't like the singer and the hooks are weak. That said... The songs groove. They stay right in the pocket and just groove on for the duration of the songs. Good musicians, I just do not like the singer or the vocal melodies, although Katie Did is okay. It's just kind of standard light rock stuff though, feel like it's retreading very familiar ground.

*   *   *

Evermind: Ori and the Blind Forest OST [8.0]
1. Gareth Coker ft. Aeralie Brighton - Ori, Lost in the Storm
2. Gareth Coker ft. Rachel Mellis - Naru, Embracing the Light
3. Gareth Coker - Kuro's Tale I - Her Rage
4. Gareth Coker ft. Aeralie Brighton - The Spirit Tree
5. Gareth Coker - Kuro's Tale II - Her Pain
6. Gareth Coker ft. Aeralie Brighton - Approaching the End
7. Gareth Coker - Fleeing Kuro
8. Gareth Coker ft. Aeralie Brighton - The Sacrifice
9. Gareth Coker ft. Aeralie Brighton - Light of Nibel

First the good. It's composed well and it sounds beautiful. The arrangements are lush. But most of the times I played this, the first six tracks all blur together and don't have much to say. I like the last three tracks, but at the same time they lack something that makes them stand out. It's very pretty, but I wish it was more memorable.

*   *   *

Buddyhunter1: Harmonix Music Systems (Amplitude) [8.0]
1. Perfect Brain
2. I.C.U.
3. Human Love
4. Energize

Hey, this was all right. I don't dislike it, but nothing's really standing out to me other than Energize. They all have a frantic energy to them and the sound is just a nice pleasant electronic rush, but it's not so memorable to me. Always meant to check out Amplitude but never could. Music sounds cool at least.

*   *   *

Bolsters: HAIM [8.0]
1. Falling
2. Want You Back
3. The Wire
4. Forever
5. Running If You Call My Name

This is nice! It's both fun and upbeat, and although it's not as compelling as some of the other submissions you've sent, it's not bad at all. The hooks are all good. I feel like the verses could be a bit stronger, and maybe the arrangements aren't standing out as super unique, but I enjoy all the songs nonetheless. I keep wishing the songs were just a bit faster, but that's a me problem. Overall, it had fierce competition this round, but I still had fun listening to these songs.

Sacul: Akira Yamaoka (Silent Hill series) [8.1]
1. Heaven's Night
2. Null Moon
3. Letter From the Lost Days
4. Breeze in Monochrome Night
5. Room of Angel

This was nice! I didn't expect Silent Hill to have such chill lo fi beats you can study to. They're not kicking my ass or anything, but it's a nice surprise, and even if I don't like the Silent Hill games, at least it's cool knowing there's some neat mood music in their soundtracks.

*   *   *

Elite: Algiers [8.1]
1. Walk Like a Panther
2. Dispossession
3. Mme Rieux
4. And When You Fall
5. The Cycle/The Spiral: Time To Go Down Slowly

This is all over the place. Dispossession is probably my favorite, but Mme Rieux and Walk Like A Panther are great as well. Not sure what kind of music you'd call this, but it sounds experimental and fresh. It's also kind of a difficult listen, but I bet a whole album of this would be interesting. While I don't love it, I do like it quite a bit.

*   *   *

Shadow Ninja 2.0: Cloud Cult [8.2]
1. Chemicals Collide (live)
2. No One Said It Would Be Easy (live)
3. Complicated Creation (live)
4. Love and the First Law of Thermodynamics (live)
5. Good Friend (live)

I expected some crazy electronic prog metal based on the track names. This was fun to watch. The singer's voice isn't exactly my cup of tea, but it was fun to listen to these and I liked the whole band joining in on the singing and the spirit of the music. Oddly charming folky stuff, I dig it.

Puppies_On_Acid: Imogen Heap [8.3]
1. 2-1
2. Closing In
3. The Moment I Said It
4. I'm God

I always thought Imogen Heap was the name of a rap collective. I am the clown. Anyway, this is really nice. She has a great voice, but the music is a bit sleepy. I'm God is my favorite here; not sure what Clams Casino brings to the party, probably the beat? But it's fantastic, I wish all the songs were like that one. The others are good, don't get me wrong, but that's how much I like I'm God.

*   *   *

Big Hath: Eric Johnson [8.4]
1. Zap
2. SRV
3. Manhattan
4. Camel's Night Out

Okay, so, honestly, I was hoping to hear something more far out than this - it's rather familiar, and I felt guitar soloing fatigue after multiple listens. However... it's really good. His tone is amazing, and his phrasing is great. These are fun to listen to, and the tribute to SRV is a delight. I gotta say though, these ain't no Cliffs of Dover.

*   *   *

wolfking: Eric Johnson [8.4]
1. Lonely in the Night
2. Trail of Tears
3. Emerald Eyes

This is good, but also disappointing because I was hoping Eric Johnson would have something a bit more adventurous than this. It's good. It's really good, actually. But it's just rock, albeit coated in layers of 80s neon and keyboards. However, it's very good rock from one of the guitar greats. His playing and tone in Emerald Eyes is just divine. But overall, to me, it felt like a lot of songs I've heard a bunch already. VERY GOOD songs, might I add. I gotta say though, these ain't no Cliffs of Dover.

*   *   *

HOF: Crowded House/Neil Finn/Split Enz [8.5]
1. She Goes On
2. Love This Life
3. Message To My Girl
4. Don't Dream It's Over
5. Better Be Home Soon

This is pleasant! Don't be mistaken - I think this is quite good. It's just rather plain light rock to my ears. Don't Dream It's Over is clearly the standout star here, I know I've heard it before but it's so much better now that I've had the chance to really focus on it. She Goes On is another highlight, and I like Better Be Home Soon as a closer to this group. I would probably check out a Crowded House record; it's not blowing my mind, but it is good for what it is.

*   *   *

ariich: Regina Spektor [8.6]
1. The Calculation
2. Human of the Year
3. One More Time With Feeling
4. Après Moi
5. Samson

She has a lovely voice, and I've wanted to check out her music for a long time. This is a bit quirkier than I expected, but again I love her voice so it's nice. The Calculation is okay, but I think the stars here are Apres Moi and Samson. Those are the best songs in my opinion. One More Time With Feeling is really nice, too. There's a nice positive energy to her music that I could use more of so I'll definitely be checking out more of her stuff.

*   *   *

romdrums: Gogo Penguin [8.7]
1. Seven Sons of Bjorn
2. Unspeakable World
3. Bardo

VERY fun music here. Seven Sons of Bjorn is my favorite of the bunch but they're all almost equally good. Where I expected weird maybe pop-jazz-rock stuff, I got smart jazzy piano playing that I found very engaging. Never heard of this artist - probably the most ill-fitting name for stuff like this - but wow, I'm sold.

*   *   *

Podaar: Bob James & Keiko Matsui [8.8]
1. Frozen Lake
2. Divertimento
3. Bach Chorale

Lovely, lovely piano playing, absolutely gorgeous. In fact it's the one record I tried to look up to purchase before posting results, unfortunately it's impossible to find a physical copy of this anywhere on the planet, apparently. The conversation between the keyboards and piano on Frozen Lake is delightful - Divertimento is like a playful studious trip down memory lane to my college days - Bach Chorale is a lovely excerpt from a larger Bach piece. All played exquisitely with beautiful sounding pianos. Exceptional.

*   *   *

jingle.boy: George Michael/Wham [9.1]
1. Faith
2. Everything She Wants
3. Freedom! '90
4. Father Figure

This was a surprise and a big grower. Initially I didn't like it much, but now I like it all. Faith isn't exactly the kind of song I'll go back to, but it's nice enough. Everything She Wants is the highlight here, it reeks of wanting to be Michael Jackson so badly, but it's a good song with a great hook. Freedom and Father Figure are lovely tunes with some infectious hooks. George Michael can sing. He has a great voice. This was really good.

*   *   *

Stadler: Tori Amos [9.1]
1. Cornflake Girl
2. Crucify
3. Josephine
4. Glory of the '80s

Love at first listen. Cornflake Girl is a bit so-so; it's good and I like the piano riffing but the part of the hook where the band drops out and she carries this awkward melody ruins it for me. But the other three? It's good. Jesus, it's good. The grooves are so 90s (in a good way - I love the vibe), the melodies are stunning, and her voice delivers them perfectly. I love this and hope she has more stuff like these songs.

*   *   *

Train of Naught: Clarence Clarity [9.2]
1. Buck-Toothed Particle Smashers
2. W€ CHANG£
3. Those Who Can't, Cheat
4. The Gospel Truth
5. Porn Mountain

This is the roulette for weird music, and this is some focking weird music, dude. I had whiplash with this. First I didn't like it - too weird! - to not knowing what to think about it. Now I love it. Each song is distinct from one another, and they all have strong melodies and hooks that weren't immediately connecting with me but after a while I started loving them. This was kind of like a shock to the system - and I like it a lot. This is awesome, definitely looking them up after the roulette. It's incredibly unique.

I just looked it up; the definitive edition is $19.99 on the Switch shop. Yay! But I have too much to play right now. I'll keep an eye out for a sale and grab it then, otherwise I'll wait for my backlog to clear.

Elite, I have a feeling Algiers is gonna be one of those artists that I'll enjoy a lot more over time, especially after listening to an album. Ideally I'd like to listen to an album by each and every artist sent in this roulette (as long as I enjoyed them), so where would you suggest I start? They have a cool style.

Fair review and score. Crowded House are a pop band first and foremost, but I could have pushed the envelope a little more if I wasn’t trying to avoid the rock stuff. Their music can actually be pretty odd ball (and Split Enz is really odd ball. Despite Tim and Neil Finn being outstanding songwriters, that band is sometimes unlistenable to me). My favorite album is probably Temple of Low Men, but the debut has Don’t Dream It’s Over and they are all pretty strong. Neil Finn’s solo albums are great too, I just decided to lean CH heavy. Another album I really like is The Finn Brothers album with Neil and Tim Finn together.

Don't Dream It's Over has been on my brain all week. That is such a great song.

There’s something about the groove that’s infectious. Something happens in the transition from the last verse to the chorus where the base line seems to shift subtly that I just love. It’s hard to explain. They also flip around the way they sign “hey now, hey now,” (usually it’s short long long long, on that one it’s long long short long). Little things like that get me.

I think this is my first round win in a looong time, and I’m very happy it’s with Clarence. The No NOW album is fantastic front to back, big recommend. The other album is great too but definitely weaker (the only song I sent off that is W€ CHANG£, which arguably has the weirdest moment on this playlist with the random Christmas breakdown :lol

And I agree with Elite on Underside of Power for Algiers, and with you that Algiers takes time to fully appreciate (from personal experience anyway). I almost eliminated Cyril when he sent me them some years back and now I love them

P.S. time for my first rap submission, hope you enjoy it Mr. Crabs!

In terms of the Eric Johnson entries, of those songs I would only consider Lonely in the Night (two of my favorite solos ever) and maybe Trail of Tears among my favorite EJ songs. Not that they are bad, I just wouldn’t say they are the best of the best. Those first three albums (Tones, Ah Via Musicom, and Venus Isle) are all just outstanding though, probably my favorite “guitar” albums if you know what I mean. You should check out all of them for sure. AVM is the one everyone knows and loves because of Cliffs of Dover, and it is great, but I think I may like the other two even more actually on the whole with Venus Isle being somewhat of a masterpiece IMO. It’s the most progressive and diverse of those three at least, and you can tell a ton of care was taken with the production.

After that his music kind of stopped having the same feel and production and I’ve actually lost touch with his later releases. But I do have his recent acoustic CD “EJ” which is really good. I got to see him on his tour for that one actually. Just him playing acoustic guitar and piano. A little different than Eric Johnson the guitar hero, but very cool to see him in an intimate setting. I had sent you a couple selections from that one for my later round entry.

Minor correction but Buddy and I are joint 7th, not joint 8th. :P

Anyway really glad you liked her stuff, yeah there's definitely a certain quirkiness to her stuff, it's quite varied in a lot of ways. Given the songs you loved most were from Begin to Hope, it obviously makes sense to check that album out, but keep in mind that (in my opinion) it's a little weaker overall despite those two songs which are incredible. Far doesn't have quite the same highs but it's consistently fantastic throughout and really is her best album I would say.

@ Kade... Dude was born in '91.  Freedom was all over the video airwaves for a solid year or two (that's a hawt video), and unless he was in to 'vintage' pop in the late 90s, Faith wouldn't have been on the listening radar.

And it would have to be pop radio too, wouldn't it?

The only time I spent listening to actual radio stations was for a few years at work, but it was just the classic rock station that would spin the same 100 80s hair metal hits all the time. But now even that has been replaced by us just using our phones and Spotify/Pandora/whatever playlists.

Otherwise I would listen to Opie & Anthony and Ron & Fez satellite talk radio shows all day every day for many years.

George Michael was huge in the UK so I don't doubt it was on pop radio loads, there's just never been a stage in my life where I've listened much to pop radio. Or any radio, really - I had a brief phase of radio listening in my mid-late teens when I was getting into rock, punk, etc. so at that point the only shows or stations I sought out were ones that focused on that sort of stuff.

And it would have to be pop radio too, wouldn't it?

The only time I spent listening to actual radio stations was for a few years at work, but it was just the classic rock station that would spin the same 100 80s hair metal hits all the time. But now even that has been replaced by us just using our phones and Spotify/Pandora/whatever playlists.

Otherwise I would listen to Opie & Anthony and Ron & Fez satellite talk radio shows all day every day for many years.

It was on MTV non stop.

I never watched MTV. When I was growing up I remember Eminem dominating it (Cleanin Out My Closet would be played on repeat daily) but even then it was overrun mostly by reality TV.

I rarely keep up with TV. Right now I'm watching The Last Kingdom on Netflix per a coworker's recommendation but that's it. Before that the last shows I watched were Better Call Saul and Westworld back in spring, but those are done for the next 2 years. Only thing on my radar after TLK is season 2 of The Boys when it comes out later this summer, and then Stranger Things whenever they get that finished.

You really haven't heard of Better Call Saul? Breaking Bad spinoff. Or Westworld, which is HBO's next big thing after Game of Thrones? Or The Boys, Amazon Prime's awesome superhero show based on a gritty comic series?

I highly highly highly recommend all three.

Or I Think You Should Leave starring Tim Robinson on Netflix which is one of the most aburd, funniest things I have ever seen. "FUCK YOU Bart Harley Jarvis!"

Neat, might start it soon or wait until it finished airing. Been considering that, Fleabad, and Firefly. Maybe finishing the third season of Hannibal but it's just a slog :lol

The last TV shows I've watched were Mr Robot (absolutely fantastic) and Bojack Horseman (amazing as well), both which had their final seasons some months ago. Oh and Chernobyl, fucking great if utterly depressing stuff.

I've been watching Dark and The Expanse recently and find both to be incredible.
I watched the first season of Dark along with my sister back in the day and found it kinda boring an overtly dramatic and complicated. Kinda like a less subtle Twin Peaks but with time travel I guess? Dunno I think I just didn't like the characters. The Expanse on the other hand I'm quite eager to give it a try.

Better Call Saul is amazing and probably my favourite show at the moment. Westworld S1 is also amazing, however I've been reluctant to watch S2. Stranger Things S1 was great, don't remember much from S2 but it was an enjoyable watch. Started to watch S3 but never finished it for some reason.

Podaar: Bob James & Keiko Matsui [8.8]
1. Frozen Lake
2. Divertimento
3. Bach Chorale

Lovely, lovely piano playing, absolutely gorgeous. In fact it's the one record I tried to look up to purchase before posting results, unfortunately it's impossible to find a physical copy of this anywhere on the planet, apparently. The conversation between the keyboards and piano on Frozen Lake is delightful - Divertimento is like a playful studious trip down memory lane to my college days - Bach Chorale is a lovely excerpt from a larger Bach piece. All played exquisitely with beautiful sounding pianos. Exceptional.

I'm pleased you enjoyed it. Most of this album was a departure for both Bob and Keiko, IMO.

Most of Bob's output is firmly in the, so called, smooth jazz genre. He's done a couple of stellar albums with jazz guitar great, Earl Klugh. I'd highly recommend you give the albums, One on One, and Two of a Kind, a listen. They're both fantastic.

Keiko has a shit ton of navel gazing, pseudo-spiritual, jazz club albums. Tim would hate them all. You can probably find live DVD's of her and her husband performing, literally, in a room full of rich yuppies eating dinner and sipping champagne.  :lol  But, if you ignore all the fluff and marketing around her, you'll hear thoughtfully arranged music, very interesting instrumentation, and exquisitely performed keyboard and piano.

Oh, and of course, I already sent. I think I've sent early for about every round.

Got about half the round 5 submissions in, started listening to what I have already. Another very curious round is developing here. EDIT: One artist is one I've been curious about for MANY years, and still play a cover version of one of their songs (might be more popular than the original by now, not sure) at the piano all the time.  :corn

Oh no sometimes I'll accept songs I know. Like both guys sent Cliffs of Dover by EJ last round, I still would've taken it but they both chose to send something else. I also already kinda knew Don't Dream It's Over, as well as a couple of other songs in previous rounds. I just didn't recognize it until the song got going and something clicked. Usually it's just the hook that I know anyway. In this case I didn't really know the verses or anything except the hook.

I already told the sender this story but it's kinda funny. When I was a real little kid I was something of a crybaby. And I really liked this red album my mom would play in the car, so at some point I must've said I wanted a walkman/portable CD player and 'that red album.' So I got this red CD for Christmas, but it wasn't the one I wanted. What I wanted was Toto IV  :lol and what I got was a best of Tears for Fears record, which I thought even as a little kid was some kind of message from my parents, like it was music to stop me from crying when I got upset or some shit  :rollin so I had my mom return it and get Toto IV. Still have that copy 20+ years later, somehow still plays perfectly.

Shadow did send Second Person!

Very Nice.  I had this on my short-list for the final 2 rounds.  This (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEpfvTdR5-U) is a glorious YT vid of Curt Smith and his daughter doing an acoustic arrangement of Mad World.  And of course, Adam Lambert's version from American Idol is God-tier.

HAHAHAHAHA, I swear, I saw "Peter Gabriel" and was going to make a joke about the song selection.  You're right, his soundtrack work is AMAZING, but they're more... complete works, rather than "songs".  I don't know that I would ever pull one song from "Passion" and just listen to it. 

Needless, I would have sent five very different songs.  :) :) :)

Well let’s see, no horns, nothing western. Parts of it are chill but parts of it are pretty intense. No idea what Imogen Heap sounds like but I don’t think that’s it. Should have kept the CD is clearly Tears for Fears. That leaves “kinda neat,” “maybe your best submission,” “colorful music,” “classy dinner,”  or “Crabs might hate it.” I’m gonna say it’s not the classy dinner one or the colorful music. So one of the other three.

Edit: it probably could be the most chill entry I suppose due to The Nest That Sailed The Sky.

No!

Mine is the should have kept the CD one.  :lol

Yes!  :lol

Mine is “It killed it right in front of them” or the Imogen Heap one (I don’t know how it scored with TAC but judging by the implied context probably not good)

Neither!

I can't imagine Second Person with guitar honestly, but I'm glad you enjoyed some of it at least.

There are a couple artists that I'm not quite sure what to think about, but I know I like them.

Great tunes for sure, but not in the spirit of this roulette.  It'd be like me sending Zeppelin - Hot Dog (country ho-down), That's The Way (folk), and Since I've Been Loving You (blues).

But in this roulette, we've had:

Jeff Beck
Jimmy Barnes
Eric Johnson
Derek Trucks
Winger
Damian Wilson



I honestly don't see why sending Michael Schenker would be any different. In fact, my submission is less lead than every one of the above submissions.

I've got to agree with Tim on this one.

Though I'm still going to crap on him. :lol

Dude, you’ve been railing all 19 of us for 4 rounds. You’ve got a lot to atone for!

Don’t take any of my posts too seriously.  It’s not like you left a cart in this roulette or anything.  :lol

I'm not gonna be too hard on MS this round because, yeah, others like EJ have been sent, but seriously, I expect more in round 6  :lol

I'm working on writeups now but got a lot of household chores to take care of + a holiday party later so results will be tomorrow :)

Michael Schenker in a non-rock roulette, really?

Yeah, but it's all non rock music I sent. He's a musician. And a wonderful one at that.

There is some major prejudice going on here.

Walrus posted the tracks! Check them out.

Great tunes for sure, but not in the spirit of this roulette.  It'd be like me sending Zeppelin - Hot Dog (country ho-down), That's The Way (folk), and Since I've Been Loving You (blues).

C'mon man, you know what you did.  Embrace it.  ;) :D

Yeah, I avoided Jon Lord because of this. His solo works are mostly classical music but he's associated with rock so I didn't send him.

I don't know why you wouldn't send him. I mean half the guys in this roulette don't have video game music or rap to send.  And they've all sent artists from rock backgrounds.
I followed the rules.

I'm not saying you did anything wrong Tim, don't get me wrong :)

For me, this was an opportunity to send some of the bands/artists/projects that I was a fan in my teens but then I discovered rock and metal and stopped following them. A trip down the memory lane if you will. Enigma, Joan Baez, Amethystium, the one I sent for the next round, they all bring me back to when I was like 14 or 15 leading a guild in Ragnarok Online. Honestly I don't even care about the quality of music, I'm mostly just sending the non-rock stuff I grew up on.

I'm 95% just busting your balls, Tim. I also busted king's balls for basically sending light rock/The Beatles one round, and HOF with Crowded House, and Kade with Jimmy Barnes/"Sammy Hagar" haha. But there was good stuff in all of those. And admitted I should've PROBABLY banned Eric Johnson, but I was curious.

Also Jon Lord's classical works would totally be acceptable, I mean, romdrums sent a piano concerto by Keith Emerson.

I should have checked the songs before commenting.  I can't really talk after sending Barnsey, especially when Neal Schon was on one of those tracks.

In the end if TAC actually ends up beating anyone you can just take comfort in that generous spotting and know that you worked from the ground up :lol Okay, this round was super hard to score, there was so much good stuff, and lots of long songs! 6 hours 12 minutes this round, a new record.

*   *   *

Bolsters: Cœur de pirate (Child of Light OST) [7.6]
1. Pilgrims On a Long Journey
2. Aurora's Theme
3. Jupiter's Lightning
4. Leave Your Castle
5. Down to a Dusty Plain
6. Hymn of Light

It's very funny that this was submitted, because literally the day before people started sending for this round, I started playing Child of Light on my Switch (I bought it months ago, but never got around to it). I have to say, I don't think the music is the strongest suit. It's very pretty, it fits the atmosphere of the game quite well, but on its own, I find it kind of sleepy and uncompelling. I'm afraid I don't have much else to say about this, other than the game itself is fun so far! :)

*   *   *

TAC: Michael Schenker [7.7]
1. At the End of the Day
2. The Creator
3. Bijou Pleasurette
4. I Am Grateful
5. Hand in Hand

So the playing here is good and it all sounds quite lovely but the thing is I've heard countless acoustic instrumentals from many guitarists. There's nothing here that really makes it stand out from anybody else. Very nice music, don't get me wrong! But it doesn't stand out at all.

*   *   *

Buddyhunter1: Infected Mushroom [7.8]
1. Becoming Insane
2. Artillery
3. Saeed

I knew this was gonna be a weird one from the first listen. I've heard a lot about Infected Mushroom over the years but this is the first time I've listened... I think? It's weird. It's actually really corny, and I'm not sure it's the good kind of corny, or if I can describe what I'm talking about: there are vocal parts in Artillery and Becoming Insane that are super corny, and even that middle eastern-style riff for Artillery is cheesy. But it's all somewhat catchy and fun. So I struggle with how to feel about these; I like them, but they're so corny, too. Saeed is probably my favorite but the vocal parts are so weird. When I look back on this in the future, maybe I'll regret ranking this so low, and maybe the songs just need more time to connect with me - but as of right now that's where I'm at with them.

*   *   *

Stadler: California Guitar Trio [7.9]
1. Train to Lamy Suite (Part 1-3)
2. Train to Lamy - Part 4
3. Train to Lamy - Part 5
4. Train to Lamy - Part 3 (reprise)
5. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
6. Led Foot

This was fun. I won't lie, maybe it's not a group I'm jonesing to return to, but it was really fun listening to the guitar - literally, the sound of the guitar playing here is riveting. The harmonized runs in The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, for example, or the bright strums of the chords - beautiful stuff. Lots of reverb and audible sliding on the guitar in Train to Lamy Part 3 (reprise) which gives such an angelic quality to the sound. The entire Train to Lamy batch is an interesting submission all on its own; I can't understand why they're split up the way they are, across so many tracks and with the first 3 in one, but it's really nice instrumental guitar from start to finish. Led Foot's distorted guitar is a bit odd and the Train to Lamy Suite Part 1-3 features a keyboardist that sounds frighteningly similar to Derek Sherinian. So they stick out a bit. But, this was interesting. I wouldn't mind looking into this group...

*   *   *

Shadow Ninja 2.0: Second Person [8.0]
1. Water
2. Metal
3. Play Fair
4. Spilt Milk
5. Shadow of a Doubt

This is more a victim of the competition than me not liking it. There's a lot of good stuff here! However, to me it sounds a lot like Imogen Heap, and there's kind of this sedated quality to much of the songs here, like Water and Spilt Milk. Metal sounds like a total 90s bop. Play Fair is my favorite here. Super catchy, love the melodies and rhythm of the singing in that song. I liked this a bunch, but not gonna lie, always kind of hoped for a bit more 'oomph' and energy.

*   *   *

ariich: Everything Everything [8.1]
1. Night of the Long Knives
2. Desire
3. NASA Is On Your Side
4. To The Blade

I feel weird and kind of bad about having this as low as it is; I really liked these songs! Strong round, though, and it's gotta rank somewhere. The guy's voice is very odd, and it took a while to warm up to it; Night of the Long Knives is a weird but catchy song, but his voice is rather 'extra' and sometimes I love it, sometimes I don't. That's kind of the sticking point for most of this; Desire is fun, but NASA... and To The Blade are songs that I find myself seesawing on - I either like them, or don't like them. They have a very distinct, unique sound, and I like them overall. I feel like I'd need a whole album to make a good judgement call on this kind of group though. The eclectic nature of this band has me interested.

*   *   *

Podaar: Derek Trucks [8.2]
1. Midnight in Harlem
2. Shrimp and Grits (interlude)
3. Rastaman Chant (live)

This was surprisingly fun. Midnight in Harlem is a great track, it takes a simple memorable beat and leans into it for the whole song, and the melodies and lyrics are really nice. Shrimp and Grits is a fun sweet interlude that fits in perfectly. The live track is really nice. Love the flute! Now I think this one goes on for a long time... sometimes I wonder why it's so long. But, it's fun to listen to them jam, it just feels like a few different jams stitched together. But I'm sold, I think they're solid and there's some fascinating musical dialogue happening in that live number especially between the flute and guitar about halfway. Cool stuff!

*   *   *

HOF: Peter Gabriel [8.3]
1. At Night
2. The Feeling Begins
3. Zaar
4. A Different Drum
5. The Nest That Sailed the Sky

Ballsy submission to send multiple soundtrack pieces. So, this is kind of hit and miss. I don't find much to chew on with At Night or The Nest That Sailed The Sky. There's nice ambience there, but I think the meat here is in the other three songs. The Feeling Begins has a nice middle eastern, desert vibe - but Zaar and A Different Drum are superb. Zaar's constant, repetitive string/pipes motif is really catchy and has an interesting flavor to it. I can hear some sitar in there, I think? It makes me think of a busy Arab town or market. A Different Drum has a *lovely* vocal line. It's very powerful, and even though I have no idea what is beind said, I can feel the emotion in there. So even if it's only a couple of tracks that connected with me, they're strong connections. Not at all what I expected out of Peter Gabriel. Very nice.

*   *   *

Big Hath: Go West [8.4]
1. Faithful
2. What You Won't Do For Love
3. The King of Wishful Thinking

For some reason this was the hardest submission to rank. I like these songs a lot! Never heard of Go West before and I definitely don't recognize this singer by his voice, but Faithful is a really nice uplifting jam. WYWDFL is nice, but I think I like The King of Wishful Thinking and Faithful more for their bright, upbeat vibes. There's a mighty horn/synth presence throughout these songs that I really like: it screams 80s, but it's that kind of poppy, Toto-ish 80s playing that speaks to me. Another artist I might regret ranking this low in the future.

*   *   *

romdrums: Art Blakey [8.5]
1. Moanin'
2. Caravan

This is fantastic. While Joe Henderson gave me a 'blue' color impression, these two tracks make me think orange and yellow. There's a warmth to this music that, while stylistically pretty similar to Joe Henderson, makes it stand apart. And the songs seem to be more free and open to riffing. Indeed sometimes they seem to meander aimlessly, but the showmanship is top notch and riveting all the same. I can't say the tunes themselves are wholly memorable with all the twists and turns and soloing they make, but the motifs, at least, are solid anchors for the solos to dance around. High quality jazz here, would love to explore more Art Blakey.

*   *   *

Sacul: The Black Queen [8.6]
1. Ice to Never
2. Thrown into the Dark
3. Porcelain Veins
4. Strange Quark
5. Taman Shud

Excellent kind of poppy kind of not music, not sure what you'd call this. Gorgeous melodies and nice singing with some very head-boppable beats and rhythms, I dig it a lot. Porcelain Veins and Thrown into the Dark might be my favorites here but they all have a nice groovy vibe to them, especially Taman Shud. I looked back in my Spotify library and one of these albums has actually been saved for quite some time - I guess I did make a point to listen to them a while back but forgot about it. Time to fix that!

*   *   *

Puppies_On_Acid: Boards of Canada [8.7]
1. Roygbiv
2. Amo Bishop Roden
3. Alpha and Omega
4. 84 Pontiac Dream

Okay this is actually really good and was one of the growers this round. Roygbiv at times sounds like a Tycho wannabe (that sine synth patch sounds EXACTLY like a track from Tycho's Awake album, like right around 1:05) but it's very very good so it gets the pass. Amo Bishop Roden is the star here because of that kind of low-key electro shuffle beat it has going on. Fucking cool. Alpha & Omega and 84 Pontiac Dream are cool vibes, too, but Roygbiv and ABR are on a different level. I could probably dig a whole album of stuff like this.

*   *   *

Train of Naught: clipping. [8.8]
1. Intro
2. Nothing is Safe
3. Story 2
4. Work Work
5. The Show
6. Story 7

This is so cool. I think the highlights here are Nothing is Safe and Work Work. Nothing is Safe has such an awesome vibe with that simple but giant synth line and the rapping over it. Work Work is a mood and has a great beat and lyrical theme. And the lyrics in general are pretty awesome all around. Never heard of Clipping but it sounds like more ambitious hip hop than a lot that I've heard in my life so this is really unique and fresh to my ears. Would love to check out a full album and hear more of this, very cool music.

*   *   *

Indiscipline: Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin, & Paco de Lucía (Friday Night In San Francisco) [8.9]
1. Mediterranean Sundance / Rio Rancho
2. Fantasia Suite

So, my one complaint here is that sometimes the tracks seem to just go on... and on... and on. But again, like Art Blakey, the playing is just extraordinary. I love hearing the audience cheer along as Al Di Meola shreds his guitar to pieces. Similarly, again, the tracks themselves aren't particularly memorable for the music, but for the spectacle. That spiciness in Mediterranean Sundance is delicious. Fantasia Suite is great, too - but MS is my favorite.

*   *   *

Evermind: Joan Baez [9.0]
1. Love is Just a Four-Letter Word
2. Sweet Sir Galahad
3. Diamonds and Rust
4. Honest Lullaby

Okay, some of this is really somber, but overall: solid melodies, good hooks, nice lyrics, beautiful voice/singing. I keep thinking of both Stevie Nicks and Pentangle listening to these songs. On one hand they're simple guitar+voice songs, but there's some real emotion in there. I think Sweet Sir Galahad is a lovely little tune, probably the catchiest, but Diamonds and Rust has so much heart, and the vocal melody reminds me of Nightwish's Meadows of Heaven, which I love. This grew on me a lot.

*   *   *

kingshmegland: Mr. Mister [9.0]
1. Stand and Deliver
2. Don't Slow Down
3. Broken Wings
4. Kyrie

This rocks but it's also SUPER poppy and each song has a massive, fiercely infectious hook. The singer's got the pipes to sell them, too. Kyrie is kind of corny but it's so fun and catchy it gets a pass. The drums have that real hot 80s production to them but I think it adds to the charm on songs like Don't Slow Down. This one grew on me; it was immediately catchy, but I didn't realize how much I liked them for a few days. Looking forward to more of them in the future.

*   *   *

wolfking: Tears for Fears [9.1]
1. Everybody Wants to Rule the World
2. The Working Hour
3. Broken
4. Head Over Heels/Broken

Wonderful poppy stuff here. Everybody Wants To Rule The World is a real jam, awesome hook and beat to this. The Working Hour is awesome but the best parts are the ones where the sax gets the spotlight. Broken is nice and catchy, but Head Over Heels/Broken is even catchier and nicer, probably my second favorite of them all. I was kind of surprised by how good this is, it's pop rock with pretty much everything I like. Seriously, I should've kept that CD as a kid. I will definitely be checking out this band's discography.

*   *   *

Elite: Joe Henderson [9.2]
1. Blue Bossa
2. Song For My Father
3. U.M.M.G. (Upper Manhattan Medical Group)

Simply fantastic blues. The ticket to this I think is the piano and the minimalist rhythmic patterns. The walking bass is the perfect accompaniment and the main themes are memorable to me with lots of great playing between those sections. I don't have synthesthesia but I can only describe the mood here as... well, "blue." Song For My Father and Blue Bossa are two of my favorite songs this round. Damn, this is good.

*   *   *

jingle.boy: Cher & Christina Aguilera (Burlesque) [9.3]
1. Welcome to Burlesque
2. Tough Lover
3. Express
4. You Haven't Seen the Last of Me
5. Show Me How You Burlesque
6. The Beautiful People

This started off as one of the less interesting batches of the roulette, but each day it got more interesting to me. The star here is Christina Aguilera... Honestly, the last time I remember paying attention to her was when Genie In A Bottle was a hit. I had no idea she could sing like this. And while this is corny - excessively corny, oh my god - there is no denying the sheer talent behind that voice. Her voice is so powerful and versatile and full of soul - I LOVE it. Cher on the other hand is merely good - she's a great singer, clearly, and I don't dislike her, but I think her parts are the weaker moments here, whereas Christina not only has the better music but much more room to go nuts. Fantastic, really great submission, other than how much they say burlesque.

Sweet!! Yeah, Clipping. are a super refreshing act in modern-day rap, Work Work and Story 2 are on the album CLPPNG, while all the other tracks are on their 2019 album There Existed An Addiction To Blood, I highly recommend starting with that one. The last track is weird and arguably filler (20 minutes of literally the sound of a piano burning) but there's many tracks on the same level as those that I sent, even if I also rank Nothing Is Safe above the others.

I want to check whether my round 6 and 7 submissions are allowed with regards to the 'no rock/metal' since these both have a brief moment of that so I'm gonna send you a PM :tup

EDIT: Also nice to see The Black Queen, considered them for a bit too! The debut is absolutely killer. Greg Puciato is also looking to release his debut solo album this year, but it seems more in The Dillinger Escape Plan style than The Black Queen

Title: Re: The Walrus's Lead-Free Roulette -- Round 5 results!!
Post by: HOF on July 05, 2020, 02:28:32 PM
That Tears for Fears entry is really strong. I love The Working Hour a ton, and Everybody Wants to Rule the World and Head Over Heels are two of the greatest pop songs ever IMO. Songs from the Big Chair is a really outstanding record. That said, Tears for Fears’ masterpiece (IMO) is the follow up album, Sowing the Seeds of Love. Roland Orzebal is one of the great but under appreciated songwriters of his era, and a fantastic singer too. Not trying to diminish Curt Smith’s contributions of course, but even the stuff Roland did without him in the band is really strong.

As for my Peter Gabriel entry, I’m glad you at least liked the middle three. At Night was definitely intended more as a mood setter (and I love the reference to Wallflower that appears there and other places on the Birdy soundtrack). The Nest That Sailed The Sky is something that always knocks me over. It’s so beautiful, but I guess it didn’t land for you (my wife says it makes her sad for whatever reason). A Different Drum is such an interesting song rhythmically (I don’t think there are any actual words, just vocalization). Depending on which set of drums I focus on, I can hear the whole thing with two totally different rhythms. It’s a really cool track. That whole soundtrack is worth checking out if you liked those three.

I suppose I could have sent you some proper PG stuff and been within the rules of the roulette (especially if Tears for Fears got through, they have a similar vibe), but this is definitely not rock, metal, or prog, so that was the idea.

Rich, perhaps not a lie, but I do advise people take comparisons with a grain of salt, as most of the thought goes into the ranking and scoring at the end. That's on me, though. Sorry for misleading  :heart

As I told Chad, the Cher/Christina Aguilera submission would either be super amazing or super awful. Turns out, he played to one of my weaknesses: female pop superstars with great voices, and taking advantage of my blissful ignorance re: Christina Aguilera.

FWIW, I knew Burlesque Soundtrack it was a high risk/high reward submission.  I absolutely knew somehow it was either gonna be first, or worst.  Also, my = ended up being ^, which I was swinging for the fences for.

(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/45/c3/53/45c3536cedad2e95da588145bc0ba2f6.gif)

Everyone not a robust and girthy mass of existence (both literally and figuratively  :D ;)) can suck it.

Mike... your assessment of the Cher tracks is pretty accurate.  She wasn't given the best material, and is more of a cameo.  This album (and movie) is all for Aguilera to shine.  I hope you watched the video at least once as I suggested.

Now, I got nowhere to go but down.  :lol

@ Walrus... just listen to the other tracks in that playlist - that's the Round 6 submission.

One weekend afternoon sometime over the last year, jingle.daughter was watching the movie on TV. I was just roaming around the house doing whatever, not paying any attention/bother.  Just as the movie was wrapping up, I was walking thru the living room, and that final scene came on. I just paused and watched it - cuz it is catchy as fuck.  Then the credits roll with that cover of The Beautiful People.  I saved the tunes to my “pop” playlist on Spotify, and probably hadn’t thought of it much until this roulette. I figured it would itch that scratch you’ve got.

Podaar: Derek Trucks [8.2]
1. Midnight in Harlem
2. Shrimp and Grits (interlude)
3. Rastaman Chant (live)

This was surprisingly fun. Midnight in Harlem is a great track, it takes a simple memorable beat and leans into it for the whole song, and the melodies and lyrics are really nice. Shrimp and Grits is a fun sweet interlude that fits in perfectly. The live track is really nice. Love the flute! Now I think this one goes on for a long time... sometimes I wonder why it's so long. But, it's fun to listen to them jam, it just feels like a few different jams stitched together. But I'm sold, I think they're solid and there's some fascinating musical dialogue happening in that live number especially between the flute and guitar about halfway. Cool stuff!

I wanted to get back to this. While I was able to read it this weekend, I didn't have a chance to respond until today. I'm glad you found it fun! I was hoping for a much higher score because, for me, this is the best of the best.

What I found interesting about your write-up; not a word spared for Susan Tudeschi's marvelous voice and her effortless soulful phrasing. Even more surprising is no mention of Derek's unique slide guitar virtuosity! I can't think of anyone I've ever known who had even a tiny bit of appreciation for guitar skills that wasn't completely blown away by the tone, phrasing and tastefulness of Derek's playing. It's like blending Dwayne Allman, David Gilmour, and Ravi Shankar into one person and having him interpret Parliament tunes.  :lol

You mentioned the length of Rastaman Chant...yeah, I get it. It was risky sending a live song because The Derek Truck Band is largely a jam band. A lot of those longer live moments are improvisation pieces where Derek will nod to the sax, keyboard, horns, or in this case, flute and have them take the lead for awhile.

If you get the chance, or the inclination, I highly recommend checking out the rest of their album Roadsongs. You might really get a kick out of the flute/guitar interplay in Afro Blue!

I managed to listen to 13 submissions today so far. Wow! Lots of variety. I don't think I'll have as much trouble scoring this round as the last, fortunately, but even I'm not quite sure what that means yet...  :corn

I'm taking the rest of the day off from roulette listening to start a long-dreaded project: organizing my digital music library. I basically shove everything and anything I like into a 'favorites' playlist. Well, that playlist alone is about to break 4500 songs, and hitting shuffle runs me through every genre and style on the planet, it seems. So now I'm going through the songs one by one, putting them into a multitude of playlists for genres and styles and moods and situations I find myself in... tedious, but fun.

Podaar: Derek Trucks [8.2]
1. Midnight in Harlem
2. Shrimp and Grits (interlude)
3. Rastaman Chant (live)

This was surprisingly fun. Midnight in Harlem is a great track, it takes a simple memorable beat and leans into it for the whole song, and the melodies and lyrics are really nice. Shrimp and Grits is a fun sweet interlude that fits in perfectly. The live track is really nice. Love the flute! Now I think this one goes on for a long time... sometimes I wonder why it's so long. But, it's fun to listen to them jam, it just feels like a few different jams stitched together. But I'm sold, I think they're solid and there's some fascinating musical dialogue happening in that live number especially between the flute and guitar about halfway. Cool stuff!

I wanted to get back to this. While I was able to read it this weekend, I didn't have a chance to respond until today. I'm glad you found it fun! I was hoping for a much higher score because, for me, this is the best of the best.

I did enjoy the singing quite a bit, although I didn't necessarily find her voice noteworthy. Very pleasant and complementary to the music, however, which can heighten the rest of the band just like any other good singer. The slide guitar mention is interesting; you are right that it's impressive, but at the same time, it did not once stand out to me as anything special. Then again, I'm a pianist, and my knowledge of guitar playing and 'how the sausage is made' with respect to how people even play that instrument is somewhat limited, so I have no idea if any slide stuff is actually difficult to do.

I was initially going to score it higher; over time though it got pushed down by repeat listens and the competition. I will say there were several types of 'jamming' in this round: the jazz submissions, Indi's Al Di Meola & Friends, and yours. I think yours might be one I'll regret ranking that low in the future as I slowly dig through all these artists, because I hear loads of potential based on what you sent me, and Midnight in Harlem is a real delight.

BTW I think I said I would post Cyril's submissions if someone wants to send them later. There was gonna be more Jason Isbell for round 6, some Sufjan Stevens stuff for round 7, and Porter Robinson for round 8.

EDIT: Okay nevermind Jason Isbell is banned 'cause Hath sent them earlier and nobody else reserved them. Sufjan Stevens is still open as long as it isn't from Carrie & Lowell or Illinoise. Porter Robinson I've never heard of. If those names ring some bells and you're curious about 'em, there ya go.

EDIT 2: Just to be sure; my second track doesn't need everything in between the brackets. Despite the album name, this particular track is actually not a 'live' recording (though it probably was recorded in one go in the studio).

The songs I sent are relatively lead-free, I think. There definitely are some songs particularly off of End Of An Empire that would likely be considered too metal-focused for this roulette though.

Effectively this is gonna be my last roulette for a very long time :lol :lol ya'll have given me enough music to last me the next 10 years already
I have a master spreadsheet of everything I've been sent in roulettes to keep track of things I've finished checking out more than what I was sent (e.g. a full album when it was songs or collections of songs, or at least one other album when I was sent an album), and which ones I'm not inclined to do so. So all the gaps are the ones I think I want to check out more but haven't yet done so.

I recently added my first two roulettes from years ago, and what's interesting is that I went on to explore almost everything from my first roulette, but very little from my second. I guess something came along and I lost focus on that, and indeed didn't do a roulette for years after that. So after I've finished on my v6 exploring, I think I'm going to go right back to my v2 to see what I missed.

That's pretty much what I'm doing as well. Although the roulette from last year had over 320 songs on its own, so that's going to be a doozy to go through. Thankfully my first roulette (albums) is going to be the easiest, since I know pretty much where I stand on most of those artists and I know what I want to get back to and what's a miss.

After each roulette I've made a rym list with the albums my fav roulette songs came from, so I checked out everything that got at last a 4/5, a few 3.5/5 as well.

Also goddamnit trainy I was planning to send Massive Attack :lol . Remaining song is Dissolved Girl.

EDIT: And it's very interesting two people have sent Coltrane :corn :corn :corn

Yeah I think I mentioned in my thread that I was thinking about doing something like that, inspired in part by your one Chad. I'm not sure I'd try a "top x" thread as ranking everything would be impossible, but I think I'd work through each roulette and talk a bit about the albums or artists who have really stuck with me.

This round, generally speaking:

- Some more awesome adventurous and fresh sounds
- Some familiar yet curiously refreshing sounds
- Some more light rock stuff that's kinda just okay but I don't think I dislike it (at least not right now) but those definitely won't rank high because they aren't adventurous

Results won't be this weekend since I've still only had a few days with all the songs. We're looking at like, Monday or Tuesday. Gonna need the weekend to digest everything further.

I always heard they were an electronic jam band. The songs submitted sound very much like that, not prog. But I bet they have lots of prog stuff...

Yeah, I’m not questioning TAC’s entry necessarily, just curious as I just kind of thought that’s what they were, but probably only in the broader sense of the term and not really in the stricter sense of the genre.

Tangerine Dream are prog in the sense of their influence, if not the sound of their music.  Kind of like Floyd in that way (who influenced TD).

They were also VERY big into soundtracks (also, Mike, games; they did a soundtrack for at least one of the Grand Theft Auto series).

I just Googled this.

"Tangerine Dream produced various tracks in Grand Theft Auto V which can play during Wanted Levels of 3 stars or more, Missions or during random events. Each of the tracks are separated by stem in the files, allowing the game to increase or decrease the intensity of the score as the mission or event flows."

Holy crap!! I know exactly what tracks they're talking about, too. That is AWESOME.

Heading into the penultimate round... Fock me, you all just don't stop sending great music. I know I sound like a broken record but for real, whether you're in the lead or in the back, you're all winners to me due to each one of you sending some certified Good Shit™ since the start of this roulette. :)

But after tallying up the scores, I am quite surprised at who's coming out on top. You all have two rounds to change your standings!

*   *   *

Train of Naught: Massive Attack 7.9
1. Splitting the Atom
2. Dissolved Girl
3. Atlas Air

Getting some big Imogen Heap and Second Person vibes out of Dissolved Girl... Splitting the Atom doesn't connect with me much. Atlas Air is definitely my favorite, I just really like that theme and the beat. But man are the vocals sleepy on all of these. The vibe is nice, but the hooks are really low key and unobstrusive.  It's good for listening to at work, actually, but I get restless listening to it otherwise. There's stuff here I like a lot, and I'm curious about hearing a full album to see how these work in that context, but having heard a couple songs before, I'm starting to wonder if I can be sold on Massive Attack. Not giving up hope, though. To end on a more positive note, I really like how somehow Atlas Air doesn't feel nearly as long as it actually is. :)

*   *   *

Evermind: Delerium 7.9
1. Fallen Icons (ft. Jenifer McLaren)
2. Silence (ft. Sarah McLachlan)
3. Euphoria (Firefly) (ft. Jacqui Hunt)

Okay so full disclosure I actually just listened to a Delerium album at the start of June because a friend elsewhere linked it to me as a suggestion - Chimera. None of the songs here were on that album, but they do sound very similar. In fact, the songs here all sound like each other. I'm not sure that's a bad thing but in some ways they do blend together. The singers are good (Sarah McLachlan returns) but they aren't stealing the spotlight. Actually, Silence might be my favorite here because of how it mixes choral vocals with the electronics and that 90s drum beat. Has a very interesting vibe about it. Lyrically I'm not getting much out of these but I feel like that might have to do with how detached and cold the singers sound. Like they sound good, but not like they're attached to the music, they sound distant and disconnected. But maybe that's just me. Overall, I like this, there's a lot here that I also liked about several of your previous submissions: namely the smooth electronics, 90s beats, and an interesting combination of sounds not normally heard elsewhere. I just want those melodies to be stronger and more interesting.

*   *   *

Podaar: Depeche Mode 8.1
1. A Pain That I'm Used To
2. In Chains
3. My Little Universe
4. Scum

I really wanted to like this more than I did, bud! I guess Depeche Mode may just not be for me. It's not that I disliked this, but I didn't find anything that blew me away. Based on what little other Depeche Mode I've heard, I think I like this more than that. A Pain That I'm Used To - I like the hook a lot. My Little Universe has a cool beat and synth line. I don't think I'm digging the singer or his style, though. I'm definitely not saying they're bad because I know Depeche Mode is hugely popular and a big influence on so many artists, but I don't think it's for me. I'm glad you showed me some more of their stuff though, because I needed to hear it.

*   *   *

TAC: Tangerine Dream 8.2
1. Central Park
2. The Warring Forces of the Twins
3. Stratosfear

I keep replaying these. They're not bad. They're kind of interesting! But I find myself zoning out at some point during each of these tracks. The Warring Forces of the Twins is the highlight here for me. A nice bobbable beat, a delicious harpsichord theme, it's got it all. Central Park has some curious electronic stuff going on but it lacks the memorability of TWFOTT. Stratosfear is more curious than it is entertaining; I find it interesting and fun to listen to all the synth sounds, and the main theme is noticeable but not all that compelling. The whole piece sounds like background music. Perhaps that's what Tangerine Dream is best at? Given the massive scale of their discography I don't think this even scratches the surface of what they have to offer so I'm sure it must've been a nightmare picking out some submission material. That factors into the score a little bit; I want to rank this both lower and higher for a bunch of reasons, but it is what it is. I found this more curious than entertaining although it is good music!

*   *   *

Buddyhunter1: Celldweller 8.2
1. It Makes No Difference Who We Are
2. Birthright
3. The Lucky One
4. Breakout (ft. Scandroid)

The Lucky One is the standout here. It's really corny, but it's really fun, and has a fun energy to it. Birthright is up there, too - really good energetic song. Breakout starts out almost identically to Edguy's "Superheroes" which I find greatly amusing. I like the beat to that one. Hook's pretty catchy and I like the synths. This is some curious music. I liked it from the start, but it never quite blew me away (although TLO and Birthright do scratch an itch I didn't know I had). Very interesting style, there's definitely something here.

*   *   *

ariich: Blue Food 8.3
1. Boogiemen
2. Engine of the World
3. Joker Face

Gonna get right to the heart of this one, I don't think I'm totally sold on this group. THAT SAID, I think it's fun, quality jazz. There's something about it though, I'm not feeling a connection with it. The bass is punchy and the drums are fun to listen to, but I'm not connecting with the singer or the melodies, and I find myself wanting more 'soul' out of the music, if you know what I mean? I dig the band name (reminds me of a Carlin bit) but this didn't grow on me as much as I had hoped it would. Top notch playing, no doubt, but it's missing something critical for my tastes.

*   *   *

kingshmegland: The Fixx 8.4
1. Deeper and Deeper
2. Red Skies
3. Are We Ourselves?
4. One Thing Leads To Another
5. How Much Is Enough

Okay I've been really struggling with this one all round. It's taken me 6 rounds but I think I understand what new wave is now. I think it's more a subgenre of pop/rock (pop rock even, maybe) than its own distinct thing, because while this is fun and has a nice light sound, it's very much in the realm of rock, down to the rock beats and even some riffs. It's almost like 80s Rush at times. So I'm starting to get the impression that new wave, while fun, is a bit too safe of a genre for me to explore further. At the same time, I thought this was a lot better than some of your other submissions - the melodies are strong and the hooks are even stronger, those are the songs' biggest strengths. I really like Deeper and Deeper, that's probably my favorite, but Are We Ourselves? and One Thing Leads To Another is good, too. All five have really good hooks though. So I'm still kind of torn. On one hand from a roulette perspective this is a solid batch of songs deserving of the score, but in the bigger picture, it's not going to be a high priority for exploration post-roulette - but it has piqued my interest for sure.

*   *   *

wolfking: John Farnham 8.5
1. Break the Ice
2. Age of Reason
3. Thunder in Your Heart

This definitely rocks but I think it qualifies more as pop because the guitar is rudimentary and the synths have more going on. Farnham has a really good voice. Each of these has a great hook. I like Thunder in Your Heart the most. Age of Reason reels it in a bit but it kind of has a Rush, Tears for Fears, Toto type of vibe all blended together. His singing on that song reminds me of someone specific but I just can't pinpoint who it is. Anyway, I like these a lot. Big 80s pop energy, maybe not doing anything I haven't heard before, but it's nice to finally hear something other than You're The Voice. And look at you, beating out jazz and avant-garde electroprog and other non-rock genres, with rock. You got to know when to hold 'em and know when to fold 'em... you've either been drawing some lucky hands from your musical deck, or are just really good at navigating my tastes in pop rock. Genuinely surprised at the quality from your picks considering it's so rock-ish :)

*   *   *

HOF: Nickel Creek 8.5
1. The Lighthouse's Tale
2. Out of the Woods
3. This Side
4. First and Last Waltz
5. Helena

This Side and Helena are my favorites. I really like the melodies there and the general vibes... The Lighthouse's Tale also has a nice rhythm and the lyrics are good. Out of the Woods and First and Last Waltz are far from bad, but after multiple listens they don't stand out quite as much as the rest. At first I was afraid this was going to be hard to appreciate because of how gentle it is, but I kept coming back to it, cranking the volume and focusing on it, listening in different situations to see what worked. I really like this. Nice acoustic folky music. Many years ago I dated a girl who was big on this group and I enjoyed them whenever she'd play them in the car on a long drive but never looked into them. This was nice to hear. So I'm not chomping at the bit for more right now, but I'm definitely going to explore them at some point after the roulette, I think they'll fill a perfectly sized hole in my library for sure.

*   *   *

Stadler: Harry Styles 8.6
1. Golden
2. Watermelon Sugar
3. Ever Since New York
4. Sign of the Times
5. Cherry

Okay, Golden isn't bad, and Watermelon Sugar has a fun vibe and a nice hook. But Ever Since New York is a HOME RUN. That simple little guitar lick, the drum beat that sounds exactly like Toto's song I Will Remember, that great hook and the vocal layers. Ticks all the boxes in my opinion. Sign of the Times is great for similar reasons. Cherry takes a while to get going but I appreciate this almost pop-country vibe it takes on when the drums start up. I think I see why you like Harry Styles so much. You've convinced me he has a great voice, at least, and the songs here imply there's some really good stuff to be found on his records.

*   *   *

Puppies_On_Acid: Björk 8.7
1. Army of Me
2. Joga
3. Pagan Poetry
4. Unison

Björk is so weird. This definitely grew on me, and honestly, it's still growing on me. I didn't find any of these immediately memorable, there's a lot of artistry on display here, but I can't lie, it's been taking me a while to look past her accent and quirky style of singing to appreciate the music. Lyrically I'm not all that interested in it, but her delivery of the vibe is convincing in its own weird way. I think Pagan Poetry is my favorite here. I'm really not sure what to think of that last minute, her accent is both charming and grating, the repetition of 'she loves him' kind of gets old after a while, but there's something about it... Joga is another really good one. Unison isn't bad, but it doesn't stand out the way the others do. Army of Me is kind of in the middle. At first I didn't like her voice but I think I do now. Those unique voices are either charming or a turn-off, so it's nice that I warmed up to her. She seems very creative and unique, not sure I've heard anything quite like Björk, so I'll definitely be giving her music more attention in the future.

Elite: John Coltrane 8.8
1. A Love Supreme, Pt. I - Acknowledgement
2. Alabama
3. Giant Steps

Man, that's what I call jazz. You can hear the individual instruments so easily in these Coltrane songs and everybody's doing something really interesting. The drummer especially is a treat to listen to by itself, and I love what the piano and bass are doing in the back. I don't listen to too much jazz with singing but it's nice what happens in the last couple minutes of A Love Supreme. Alabama does something I really enjoy about old school jazz: it's not always about cramming a million notes into a a few bars. Alabama allows sooo much room for Coltrane to breathe, the rhythm section is almost doing some avant-garde stuff especially for the time. There's a whole minute toward the end as it goes to the finish where it almost breaks down, that's the best part imo. Giant Steps is really fun although it's kind of emblematic of that 'million notes a second' type of jazz playing that people stereotype the genre as. I would say I think there's a lack of a strong memorable melody in these tracks. I've played them a bunch and there are moments that stand out but it's hard for me to remember what the actual motif is, if any. As fun as they are to listen to it disappoints me when I can't remember the meat of a piece when it's over.

*   *   *

romdrums: John Coltrane 8.8
1. Countdown
2. The Night Has a Thousand Eyes
3. Naima
4. A Love Supreme, Pt. I - Acknowledgement

Okay so A Love Supreme is a delectable bit of jazz tastiness, you can clearly hear each instrument and they're all playing their own interesting parts. It's one of the highlights here. Countdown shares a similar craziness with Giant Steps in Elite's Coltrane submissions, I like it, although it's a bit chaotic, just like Giant Steps. The Night Has a Thousand Eyes has some gorgeous piano chords and a great solo. Naima is very pretty and once again shares similarities with Elite's Coltrane submissions in that it's super restrained and has minimal rhythm and percussive elements. And I really like that side of jazz. Naima does a fantastic job giving the piano and bass plenty of room to breathe, and even the drums have some interesting stuff going on with all the delicate cymbal work, I'm impressed at the playing at such quiet volumes. That's a real winner, and my favorite of this bunch. Both these Coltrane submissions are excellent, I think you both have convinced me that Coltrane is a must-have in my library now, although again, I am left wanting for more memorable melodies. Perhaps I need to shift my jazz expectations or continue my listening, since I'm still clearly a noob.

Shadow Ninja 2.0: Heilung 8.9
1. Svanrand
2. Traust

Okay so I know a bunch of people who are gaga for this group and this is my first time lisening to them. This is actually really cool. No idea what the words are about, I'm just gonna assume it's some pagan folky foresty worship type stuff, but it's really cool how they utilize the voice as both a melodic and percussive instrument and the rhythms are just as important as the melody. It gives the music this mystical, tense feeling. And it never feels like it's meandering or losing sight of where it's going even though the second song is very long. I liked this at first but was nervous the novelty might wear off. Now of course I haven't sat through an entire album of this, but damn this is some really cool stuff, it defied my expectations. The logo and art made me fear it was another umpteenth folk band with a hurdy gurdy and flutes and the whole nine yards. Instead it reminded me a lot of that Tenhi band Puppies has sent me. Cool!

Big Hath: Jaco Pastorius 9.0
1. Weather Report - Birdland
2. Portrait of Tracy
3. Weather Report - Teen Town
4. Al Di Meola - Suite Golden Dawn

I'm kind of embarrassed I've never listened to Jaco Pastorius until now. At least knowingly. I love that you sent Birdland. When I was a kid I heard the Manhattan Transfer version - I remember it being one of the first songs I heard that made me think differently about music, I remember listening mainly to video game music at the time, and I heard Birdland and fell in love with the richness of it all. It was a real treat to hear the original, and Jaco's work on it is spectacular. The reason for his fame is apparent, I don't feel like I can say anything that hasn't already been said about his playing. He's a delight to listen to - and of course the rest of the band is. I'm not so crazy about Portrait of Tracy. I get that it's a bass standard now and it's one of his signature pieces but I'm just not crazy about it from an entertainment perspective. As a work of art, it's very good and the way he plays it is fascinating to me, but I find the Weather Report songs far more pleasing to listen to. Suite Golden Dawn is a beautiful trip, everyone's phenomenal to listen to but as this is a Jaco submission my ears were drawn towards his playing. Very enjoyable, not quite as good as the others in my opinion, but still of a high caliber. Overall this is some really rich music and I think I'd love listening to more of Jaco's playing so hit me with some suggestions, I'm stoked to learn who else he played with.

*   *   *

Sacul: TR/ST 9.1
1. Sulk
2. Shoom
3. This Ready Flesh
4. Bulbform

The one iffy thing about these songs has been the singer's voice. I've never been quite sure if I liked it or not. I think I do, though. The more I thought about it, the better it seems to work with these lush beats and melodies. It's like chill dance music, I don't know why but I get this goth vibe from it? Might be one of the coolest things you've sent so far honestly, there's not any one element that stands out as awesome but everything works together so well and I love the vibes. Sulk and This Ready Flesh might be my favorites, but they're all consistently quality and not too same-y sounding.

*   *   *

Bolsters: Purity Ring 9.2
1. begin again
2. heartsigh
3. repetition
4. pink lightning
5. sea castle

Stunning. Does this count as synthwave? I love it. It took me days to figure out who the singer reminds me of. It definitely sounds like Halsey's voice, but where Halsey's inflections border on annoying, Purity Ring's singer doesn't strike that nerve. Love the super vibrant synths and laid back beats. Big mood, all around. Looove everything about this, it's just so vibrant and warm and lovely.

*   *   *

Indiscipline: Rondò Veneziano 9.3
1. Odissea veneziana
2. La Serenissima
3. Magica Melodia
4. Cappriccio veneziano
5. Rondò veneziano

Oh man, what a brilliant decision to add some simple beats to classical music. This is fantastic. Everything from the tone of the instruments to the articulation is great, but it feels emphasized by the steady beats which make already melodic music even catchier. I really, really love this, it appeals to my sense of catchy pop music and lush strings and classical structure. Fock me this is fantastic. Everybody should listen to this just to see what it's about. I have nothing bad to say about this in any capacity.

*   *   *

jingle.boy: Nikki Yanofsky 9.4
1. Something New
2. Little Secret
3. Kaboom Pow
4. Take The "A" Train
5. I Believe

(https://i.imgur.com/1wGbMcg.gif)

There's no doubt in my mind that this is the round winner. There's some great variety in the tracks here, there's some great arrangements and playing from the band, but it's the singing, man... That voice is gold and makes me feel ways. Love at first listen. She can control her voice effortlessly and man does she sound like she's having fun. Focking hell, I may have a crush on her... okay, just Googled her, crush confirmed. (Last minute edit: two round winners in a row? You lucky focking devil. How'd you pull that off?)

Racking up the 8.5s. I’ll take it for Nickel Creek, who are not a band I am necessarily passionate about but whose music I have some very fond memories attached to. Very much a part of my college experience. Saw them live back before they broke up (I think they may have reformed since), and they were fantastic. Helena was a real highlight for sure. They are a very talented group of musicians. I don’t love everything they’ve done, but each of their first three albums have some great moments for sure.

"Really corny but really fun" pretty much sums up Celldweller as a whole. :lol Glad I picked The Lucky One, that one was closest to the chopping block.

Yeah man that's a banger. Something about it is really infectious.

I'd definitely recommend giving the full album it's from a try - though if you do I'd suggest listening to the deluxe version over the regular version. The flow of the album is completely different between them, with the deluxe version having a way better song sequence and smoother transitions between the songs.

For some stupid reason the version on Spotify says it's the deluxe edition but it's just the regular version with instrumentals... the actual deluxe edition is here: https://celldweller.bandcamp.com/album/wish-upon-a-blackstar-deluxe-edition

Way better cover art, too. :lol

Damn, was already expecting a low score after the comparisons but I’m still more disappointed than I expected with this, I was quite confident about Massive Attack. This gives me a feeling my next round may also do poorly :lol

Based on your thoughts, I can give you a handful of tracks you’d like across all albums, but it seems like a waste if you don’t dig their core downtempo/chill sound.

Thanks for the write-up!

I definitely agree that jazz can be hard to get in to, but once you get an idea of how most standards are structured, it becomes easier to listen to it and also you'll know what to listen for. It's definitely true that the more you hear, the more you understand it. Glad you enjoyed it nonetheless :)

The way I think of most jazz is 'okay here's a few seconds of a motif, let's go take a ride into Solo Canyon for a couple hours, okay that's it'   :lol Been actually studying the fundamentals of jazz piano lately partially due to this roulette because I want to finally play some real jazz piano or be able to jazz improv whenever I want to, and it's daunting but super fun. Whole other beast from classical. Never been good at thinking of extended chords never mind their inversions so I've got some academic practice to do :<

I don't think so, I just tried it as a test and the resulting playlist wasn't public. I think maybe Tim has hacked you. He's just been pretending to be technologically inept all these months so that you'd let your guard down.

Looking through some jazz piano handbooks as I'm finally all these years later trying to learn how to play jazz and blues piano properly, because it's been intimidating and daunting and taunting me since high school. Found a whole bunch of familiar names in the early pages of one of these books. Some familiar names from this roulette!

DEFINITELY listening to these post-roulette! Maybe even before then!

Crap! You're right. Yeah, I noticed a bunch of other noteworthy names on that list, too. Going to take some time working on 12 bar blues improvisation tonight... honestly haven't played around with that stuff for 12+ years at this point... super rusty and humbling to struggle even with basic improv because I'm so inexperienced with this. 7th chords and 9ths/11ths/13ths and inversions, cool! Scales, cool! Now put them together and play both hands and wing it. Fffffffuuuuu

Makes me laugh that I was jazz soloing back when I knew no theory but now I am filled with trepidation and self-doubt before improv. I am a clown

Start out easier and don't get too overblown with the theory. You're never going to solo like a pro when you're just starting out, so take it slow :)

And King gets the win from me this round. BIG Squeeze fan, and bummed I didn't think of that first (and good list too!)

I also like the Ginastera and Mussorgsky selections too.   That ought to resonate with Walrus (since ELP covered them both, extensively).

Believe it or not, it's actually Kate Bush. Note that the only Kate Bush I'm familiar with (other than these songs, now) is Wuthering Heights, and I hate that song and Kate Bush's singing in it. I've specifically avoided Kate Bush for many years because of both her voice and that song. Hey, good luck, Pup!  :lol

That would have been my next guess. I’m familiar with some of her music, and a lot of people think of her as the female version of 80s Peter Gabriel, which you’d think would be up my alley. But I’ve had a hard time getting into her as well. Running Up That Hill is one that I do like. Haven’t heard the ones that were submitted.

Post by: The Walrus on July 17, 2020, 02:57:52 PM
Good luck. Kind of tried to make some of these very obvious, some not, because some of these aren't 'first' impressions, and others are, but I figured I'd offer some early thoughts, before results

1. I'm digging parts of this but it might be a little too dreary... but maybe it's not?
2. Super pleasant with some fantastic piano... I'm hearing some Beatles in the vocals but they might be way more enjoyable? Strange [HOF - The Clientele]
3. I expected nails on a chalkboard... And at times it's weird enough to be off-putting, but this was surprisingly enjoyable [Puppies_On_Acid - Kate Bush]
4. World class playing that's also super fun to listen to! WINNING!
5. You finally left the 80s only to send something that sounds right out of the 80s. And it has potential to be your best yet... maaaybe? [wolfking - Owl Eyes]
6. Super fun... how did I sleep on this CD for 10 years? [Buddyhunter1 - Pendulum]
7. I like the classic in here but I'm just not sure I like the rest right now [kingshmegland - Squeeze]
8. Well written, well performed... but cornier than the corn fields surrounding my town [jingle.boy - Hamilton]
9. Fantastic classical music complete with a piece straight out of The Legend of Zelda's battle themes
10. No, seriously, I can't tell whether or not this is a joke [TAC - Crazy Joe and the Variable Speed Band]
11. Playing off my love for Monica Heldal, intentionally or not... smart man
12. It's nice to hear a male in this style of music, and I like his voice more than any other guy I've heard in this genre
13. Oddly charming? Really had no idea what to expect out of this, and I'm kind of surprised at the quality here [Shadow Ninja 2.0 - Homestuck]
14. Focking dramatic, but not at the expense of compelling composition [Indiscipline - Chess]
15. I remain unconvinced, but there's a lot of listening left to do [Sacul - Massive Attack]
16. Utterly delightful. Reminds me of when Jordan Rudess covered Tarkus [Podaar - Isao Tomita (Modest Mussorgsky - Pictures At An Exhibition)]
17. Big sad energy... Think I need to play this at the right time to appreciate this more
18. I ban prog yet you sent something that's borderline Moon Safari at times. Very clever
19. Perhaps not the most exciting of the round, but certainly one of the most interesting - exactly the kind of 'new' music I was hoping to get exposed to in this roulette, well played [ariich - Alkinoos Ioannidis (Αλκίνοος Ιωαννίδης)]

With what’s left, Hamilton must be 15

Wrong!

8 is mine.

Wrong!

5. You finally left the 80s only to send something that sounds right out of the 80s. And it has potential to be your best yet... maaaybe?

This??

Correct!

Also :lol at Massive Attack two rounds in a row
Not gonna lie, Trainy sent some sleeper tracks while I went with the real good stuff :metal

Quite bold to send Kate Bush, good luck pup. Also, how is Snarky Puppy not banned? I sent you Family Dinner like two roulettes ago :P

Either 15 or 7 for me.

15 it is! Snarky Puppy was on the fence but because I never got around to exploring them and they have so many albums, I figured why not. Also you sent that in my very FIRST roulette :o great album too!

I guess Hamilton could be 8, if one were to consider American History “corny”

Ding ding, except that's not why it's corny.

Ding ding ding  :corn

1. I'm digging parts of this but it might be a little too dreary... but maybe it's not?
2. Super pleasant with some fantastic piano... I'm hearing some Beatles in the vocals but they might be way more enjoyable? Strange [HOF - The Clientele]
3. I expected nails on a chalkboard... And at times it's weird enough to be off-putting, but this was surprisingly enjoyable [Puppies_On_Acid - Kate Bush]
4. World class playing that's also super fun to listen to! WINNING!
5. You finally left the 80s only to send something that sounds right out of the 80s. And it has potential to be your best yet... maaaybe? [wolfking - Owl Eyes]
6. Super fun... how did I sleep on this CD for 10 years? [Buddyhunter1 - Pendulum]
7. I like the classic in here but I'm just not sure I like the rest right now [kingshmegland - Squeeze]
8. Well written, well performed... but cornier than the corn fields surrounding my town [jingle.boy - Hamilton]
9. Fantastic classical music complete with a piece straight out of The Legend of Zelda's battle themes [romdrums - Alberto Ginastera]
10. No, seriously, I can't tell whether or not this is a joke [TAC - Crazy Joe and the Variable Speed Band]
11. Playing off my love for Monica Heldal, intentionally or not... smart man
12. It's nice to hear a male in this style of music, and I like his voice more than any other guy I've heard in this genre [Bolsters - LeBrock]
13. Oddly charming? Really had no idea what to expect out of this, and I'm kind of surprised at the quality here [Shadow Ninja 2.0 - Homestuck]
14. Focking dramatic, but not at the expense of compelling composition [Indiscipline - Chess]
15. I remain unconvinced, but there's a lot of listening left to do [Sacul - Massive Attack]
16. Utterly delightful. Reminds me of when Jordan Rudess covered Tarkus [Podaar - Isao Tomita (Modest Mussorgsky - Pictures At An Exhibition)]
17. Big sad energy... Think I need to play this at the right time to appreciate this more
18. I ban prog yet you sent something that's borderline Moon Safari at times. Very clever
19. Perhaps not the most exciting of the round, but certainly one of the most interesting - exactly the kind of 'new' music I was hoping to get exposed to in this roulette, well played [ariich - Alkinoos Ioannidis (Αλκίνοος Ιωαννίδης)]

Dude, it's a classic. Go watch it this weekend somehow. Rent it on YouTube if you must. You'd like it. Late 80s, so there are no cell phones or computers (seriously this makes such a difference compared to modern films), just great character comedy.

Was gonna say, I need to check out Snarky Puppy if they sound like Moon Safari. I love those guys.

I have heard a little bit of Snarky Puppy. My impression of them was they were very jazzy. Don’t recall them even having vocals.

Post by: The Walrus on July 19, 2020, 09:21:59 AM
The second track Elite sent for Snarky Puppy has huge Moon Safari vibes to me and it's all 'cause of the synth. Snarky Puppy is much jazzier but the synth really lends a prog rock, Moon Safari-ish vibe to the sound (based on what little Moon Safari I've heard).

Of course, people here literally laughed at me when I said Michael Kiske and John Arch (specifically early FW John Arch) have similar inflections and tonal qualities so what do I know.

I'm with you on that. I'm pretty sure I said as much in a writeup for a Michael Kiske song that TAC or Jingle sent me in one of my roulettes.

It's done. Ya'll... there have been over 1100 submissions in my 5 roulettes. And one of those roulettes was cut short early on, and another was pretty short. Roulettes 2 and 5 have had ridiculous amounts of music. So has 1, but I only counted the albums in the spreadsheet and didn't listen the individual songs.

It's a handy list for reference although unfortunately I probably won't ever run a roulette again because seriously just look at this ridiculously huge list (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PGHUNWnRVHw-e8L3KShN5X3JHBHQgSzu5-LKdLDzvCs/edit?usp=sharing) I can tap this well for years to come

I was half-joking half-serious. I didn't get much listening done this weekend because *life reasons* so the round is taking a bit longer than usual + today was the busiest day of work all year so I didn't get any listening done... yeah. There are still a few submissions I need more time with before I'm comfortable doing writeups.

Sorry ya'll this round is definitely going to take a bit longer. It's a total clusterfuck over here atm. But, progress is happening. And there's only one more round so I don't feel quite as bad about this one taking longer although I'm fully aware Indi, for example, has to get back to work soon so I'm not dragging ass or anything  :lol

Well yeah if you include every individual song from multi-track submissions then of course you're going to have a massive list. My v6 alone was, interestingly enough, exactly 666 tracks. :lol But only 176 submissions covering around 200 artists, which is the more relevant number for me.

Results will be posted in the morning because I'm going to sleep on the final scores and writeups. I have a couple more to do, and the scores are all roughly finished, but I want to be sure on some of these before the finals.

Also this round has the widest range of scores yet.  Be scared and prepare something killer for the last round if you haven't sent already :hat

Well after one of the highest (the highest?) scores of the roulette, a v was inevitable.  Still is it just v, or V, or VVVVV ??

I cling to the hope that "corny" doesn't necessarily equate with "bad" or "unenjoyable".

I didn’t send CHVRCHES,  but I think The Weeknd got 9.4, is that the highest score so far then?

About Massive Attack, don’t be concerned please! Massive Attack are an incredible group and have quite a big range of sound, easily one of my favourite artists. Sacul is right to re-try this one, and if he’s able to convince you of a side of them you like more then I’m only happy. To be honest, I’d be happy to send you a compilation of stuff more similar to Atlas Air if you like, since you liked that song.

I’m a bit disappointed I didn’t go with Pendulum after you liked that song I sent, they’re also a favourite of mine but for some reason I didn’t follow up on them, it seems like they’re fairing well with you. Can highly recommend In Silico, not a bad track on it. (The album that the song Different is on)

As always, I feel bad about anybody who may be disappointed with their scores, but I do plan on following up with almost everybody sent in this roulette, so you're still getting me to check out your submissions. That makes you all winners to me  :loser: HOWEVER, we can see who's got the best chances at coming in first. And it's still up in the air for a number of you. Hit me with your best shot for the final round, ya'll. I want all home runs!

*   *   *

TAC: Crazy Joe and the Variable Speed Band  [5.0]
1. Little Puffies
2. Ice Cream
3. You
4. Stranded In The Jungle
5. Eugene

Man, honestly dude, I don't have anything good to say about this, I'm literally still not sure if this was supposed to be a joke or not. It gets points simply because Ice Cream left me holding my head in my hands crying laughing for the entire duration and tbh that's a hell of a feat. I really don't mean to be insulting but it is truly that bad.

*   *   *

kingshmegland: Squeeze [7.7]
1. Hourglass
2. Another Nail In My Heart
3. Tempted
4. Pulling Mussels (From The Shell)
5. Black Coffee in Bed

I really can't rank this any higher for a few reason, chiefly among them being that it's just pretty generic rock. Stadler sent me Mussels in a previous roulette and it wasn't bad but didn't impress me, and honestly I think I like it less now than I did back then. I don't dig this much at all unfortunately, sorry man! I guess they do a good job of creating some lighter, fun rock, but it's just not engaging me. It's so corny! Okay, look, I said I don't like the singer, but he can sing. Kind of a Damian Wilson situation here, I don't like him, but he's far from bad. He certainly fits the band at least. And I do like Tempted! But it's such a plain radio rock song that I already knew.

*   *   *

Train of Naught: Drab City [7.7]
1. Entering Drab City
2. Working For The Men
3. Hand On My Pocket
4. Another Time
5. Devil Doll
6. Just Me & You

Honestly it sounds like Massive Attack took some pills and got all fucked up. Seriously, though, it's so - dare I say it - drab. Been trying very hard to get into this but it's not doing much for me. It all sounds very bleak and kind of puts me in a funk. The beats are chill and it's nice for being low key type of music but with the competition this round it is what it is. I'm still interested in checking out the full record which I might as well do soon because it's their only album (and it's from this year, which means it'll join my 2020 listening collection!). To be totally honest, this is a submission with one of two outcomes a year from now: I will either totally forget about this artist, or it will grow on me and I'll feel bad about ranking it this low. Who knows!

*   *   *

Sacul: Massive Attack [7.8]
1. Safe From Harm
2. Euro Child
3. Teardrop
4. Voodoo In My Blood

Oy vey. Okay. Relatively speaking, yes, a 7.8 is a poor score in this roulette. But - BUT! - I did like some of this. It just fared poorly against the competition. That said, I think Voodoo In My Blood has more going for it than the normal Massive Attack tracks here. I think that song has some creativity and momentum to the beat that the others lack in my opinion, there's an energy I dig to it, something about it makes it more memorable to me than the rest. And it's all pleasant enough, but after all the Massive Attack I've heard, I think I'm comfortable banning them from roulettes and exploring them on my own, when I get around to them. Something tells me they don't ever kick up the tempo or energy, which is a disappointment, but I'm getting a feel for their sound and maybe I'll like it more if I just immerse myself into a full album? Would love to know what their best is so I can start with that.

*   *   *

Evermind: Julien Baker [7.9]
1. Over
2. Appointments
3. Everything to Help You Sleep
4. Hurt Less

Man, this has a beautiful sound to it. Kind of feels like the clouds parting after a gentle storm. The problem is these songs all sound exactly alike to me, and they're very sleepy. They're pretty and I can feel the emotion in them, though, which counts for something, and she has a great voice. But I do hope there's a bit more variety when I check Julien Baker's music out later. From this assortment, it just seems too one note, but as always I'm not going to write them off just from an off batch.

*   *   *

Shadow Ninja 2.0: Homestuck [8.1]
1. Pumpkin Party in Sea Hitler's Water Apocalypse
2. October
3. Moonsetter
4. 24 Even in Death (T'Morra's Belly Mix)

This is curious. There are things I like a lot about this, but also some parts that grate on me, and parts that go in one ear and out the other. Most of the last song leaves no impression with me unfortunately. October has a really nice rag feel in the middle there, but I don't like that chromatic descending motif at all. Pumpkin Party and Moonsetter have some fun synth lines and I like the tonal qualities of the electronic sounds. Those two pieces have me curious if there's, like, an album or more music. It's an eclectic batch of music. There is this mysterious fog around the music like perhaps I'm missing something by not reading the comic, but some of the music was pleasant enough. But, just like the comic, it seems very quirky, almost too much at times for me.

*   *   *

jingle.boy: Hamilton [8.2]
1. My Shot
2. You'll Be Back
3. Satisfied
4. Cabinet Battle #2
5. Washington On Your Side

Okay... so... I admire this a lot. It's fresh, unique, and ballsy to mix Broadway with hip hop. And it's super cool that they're using legit, actual singing while rapping. But that's also why it's so freaking corny. Rapping with such clear diction about American historical figures is just super cheesy to me. I'm not really a fan of the hooks either. It's pretty interesting to listen to and has a lot of artistic merit but it's not quite good enough to convince me to watch the musical.

*   *   *

Buddyhunter1: Pendulum [8.4]
1. Watercolour
2. Crush
3. The Island, Part 1 (Dawn)
4. The Island, Part 2 (Dusk)

I'd be lying if I said any of these come close to being as good as The Fountain, honestly. That said... Can't believe I slept on the rest of this album if these tracks are any indication of what I've been missing out on. This is fun and easy to bob my head to. They're active and engaging. I kind of miss that extreme drum & bass element of The Fountain, though - was hoping to hear more of that. The first two songs are close to that, but not quite as crazy. Good stuff though, there's a watery texture to the songwriting which I like, all the synths flow well and complement each other. Going to revisit this album now, so thanks for this.

*   *   *

Puppies_On_Acid: Kate Bush [8.5]
1. King of the Mountain
2. Cloudbusting
3. Night of the Swallow
4. Breathing

Okay so hear me out, I avoided Kate Bush for many years because Wuthering Heights is an abomination and her singing in that song is like nails on a chalkboard to me. King of the Mountain isn't bad. Has kind of a weird vibe to it but I can dig it. Cloudbusting is the diamond here, something about that simple string motif just works, man, and her singing is fantastic here, I really like it. Night of the Swallow however is almost unbearable, and Breathing doesn't hold my attention very long. So it's about half and half here but it's honestly better than I expected. I'm very curious (but also very skeptical still) about more of Kate Bush's work. She seems like a very weird, eccentric musician and there's gotta be something 'more' to her work that I'm eager to discover. Plus a couple of my friends stan her something fierce so it'll give me something to talk about.

*   *   *

Elite: Snarky Puppy [8.7]
1. Binky
2. Lingus

I'm probably going to get murdered for this comparison but I hear some bits of Thank You Scientist and Moon Safari in here. I think the Moon Safari comes from the brilliant keyboard playing (the piano at times in Binky gives this euphoric sonic quality to the music that I typically don't hear in jazz and makes it sound a bit more proggy imo, and the synth work on Lingus is wonderful). The Thank You Scientist comes from the steady rhythms in Binky and the simple lines the horns are playing over them. Hell, I hear moments in Lingus that remind me of Levin Minnemann Rudess's records, that prog/jazz/improv-heavy sound. And it's really good! Hard to say if it's memorable, per se, but it's very fun to listen to, so I think the score is fair. Everything I've heard from Snarky Puppy is pretty darn good, although I'm still waiting to hear 'that song' that blows me away, but don't misinterpret that as me disliking them, I consider myself a fan for sure.

*   *   *

Stadler: Miranda Lambert [8.7]
1. Runnin' Just in Case
2. Tin Man
3. Vice
4. I've Got Wheels

Never heard of Miranda Lambert, but this music reminds me of Monica Heldal so much. Almost like a slightly older, American version of Monica (Monica is 29 and from Norway; Miranda is 36). And wow, what a voice. And I love how low-key and relateable these songs are but they still have catchy melodies and steady, subdued rhythms. I really like Vice, as cliché as the subject matter is, it's one of those country drinking songs I really like. I think it's because restrained and a bit somber, not like that cookout party Red Solo Cup song. It's actually my favorite song here, along with Runnin' Just In Case. Finally, another comment on her voice: I love that she isn't leaning heavily into that southern drawl like so many country artists do, intentionally or not. Oh, and from the Wikipedia picture, she's a focking fox, too.

*   *   *

ariich: Alkinoos Ioannidis (Αλκίνοος Ιωαννίδης) [8.8]
2. All That is No Longer Here   (Ό,τι Δεν Είναι Πια Εδώ / O,ti Den Einai Pia Edo)
3. In the Same Sky   (Μέσα Στον Ίδιο Ουρανό / Mesa Ston Idio Ourano)
4. The Changing World   (Ο Κόσμος Που Αλλάζει / O Kosmos Pou Allazei)
5. Return   (Γυρισμός / Gyrismos)

Exactly the kind of adventurous submission this roulette called for. I went from not being sure I was into this to loving it. I love the sound of the Greek language, and the choice of instrumentation (especially with the percussion) makes for a really pleasant, interesting sound. The very rare time a distorted guitar appears, its presence is barely noticeable yet adds just enough spice to enhance the song. That's partially why The Changing World is my favorite song here, but it's just a really fun tune all around. I'm super interested in listening to more of this guy's music. Oh, and the guitars are delightful, they sound great in these songs.

*   *   *

HOF: The Clientele [8.9]
1. Last Orders
2. Monday's Rain
3. I Can't Seem To Make You Mine
4. Enigma
5. The Age of Miracles

I really, really liked this, and it grew on me big time. There's an emotional bite to this that appeals to me, especially on I Can't Seem To Make You Mine - but it doesn't try to be overly dramatic. It's catchy and keeps the beat and tune. Also the guitar lick sounds identical to a lick on one of my favorite Kings of Leon songs which is a huge plus. Last Orders is a stunning piece. Love listening to every second of that piano. Enigma is just kind of there but it's a nice little bridge. The Age of Miracles has that same catchiness I like about I Can't Seem To Make You Mine but it's more upbeat and pleasant. Super nice submission and I'd definitely like to hear more of this artist but it looks like they have a bunch of albums so I'd need some direction. Maybe the album that has the first, third, or fifth song would be a good place to start.

*   *   *

wolfking: Owl Eyes [9.0]
1. Closure
2. Crystalised
3. Love Runs Dry
4. Hurricane

You've definitely nailed what I like in synth pop with this one, Kade. Love her voice, love the melodies, love the sugary shimmery texture with all the synths. Warm and comforting and fun music. Each song has a fierce hook and beat and catchy melody somewhere in there but Hurricane is my favorite for sure. I have a hard time picturing you listening to this but it looks like she has a few albums that I'm REALLY curious about checking out, if by some miracle you have a recommendation. These are some super good jams, thanks dude!

*   *   *

Podaar: Isao Tomita (Modest Mussorgsky - Pictures At An Exhibition) [9.1]
1. Promenade I
2. The Old Castle
3. Promenade IV
4. Ballet of the Chicks in Their Shells
5. Baba Yaga (Hut On Fowl's Legs)
6. Great Gate of Kiev

SUPER cool submission, dude. I love this synth re-imagining of a famous classical piece. It reminds me of when Emerson, Lake & Powell did a synth cover of Gustav Holst's "Mars" piece from the Planets Suite, or when Jordan Rudess covered ELP's "Tarkus." Now I'm not overly familiar with Pictures At An Exhibition, but I know a couple snippets like that choral bit in the Promenade I movement, and I like your selections because there's something interesting about all of them. I really like the Ballet of the Chicks and Baba Yaga because of how perfectly the synths are used in replicating the sound of little chicks, or the weird sounds of a witch's cauldron. The Old Castle - not sure if he's using a theremin here or not, but it gives a very "lost in space" vibe and I LOVE that. I'm very impressed by how each of the 6 tracks has a noticeable, memorable element to it, even Promenade IV as short as it is has something going for it. Definitely one of the most curious submissions of the whole roulette. Thanks for this!

*   *   *

romdrums: Alberto Ginastera  [9.1]
1. Estancia - Ballet Suite, Op.8a (1943): 1. Los trabajadores agrícolas
2. Estancia - Ballet Suite, Op.8a (1943): 2. Danza del trigo
3. Estancia - Ballet Suite, Op.8a (1943): 3. Los peones de hacienda
4. Estancia - Ballet Suite, Op.8a (1943): 4. Danza final (Malambo)
5. Piano Concerto No. 1 (1961): 4. Toccato concertata (Presto)

I am very, very impressed by this. Each piece - okay, the third movement of the ballet suite is kind of an interlude but that's okay - has this sound that I'm all but certain influenced one of my favorite video game composers, Koji Kondo. Most of this sounds like the battle themes in the 3D Legend of Zelda games, and Zelda's my favorite series ever with some of my favorite music ever, so you can see why I'd like this. Particularly the piano concerto screams Zelda battle to me with the beefy low end piano riff and the battle-cry horns throughout. I love the energy and atmosphere this frantic kind of contemporary classical music creates and it's unlike anything else sent in this roulette. This is superb.

*   *   *

Bolsters: LeBrock [9.2]
1. Only the Brave
2. Runaway
3. Call Me
4. Real Thing

Dude this is awesome. This guy easily has my favorite male voice of any synthwave I've heard. He has an emo quality to his voice that's noticeable when he's louder or goes for the higher notes. Normally I might hate that but with this music it pairs so well. Actually at first I wasn't sure if I liked it on Only the Brave but I quickly fell in love with it. I think you've done a good job at picking synthwave groups that really connect with me. Those synth hits in Real Thing are everything. The chorus to Runaway is even better. This fucking rules.

*   *   *

Big Hath: Dave Weckl  [9.3]
1. Festival de Ritmo
2. Tomatillo
3. Mesmer-Eyes
4. Like That

WOW. You sent me Like That in a roulette last year, and I thought it was VERY good, but I'm glad to see that wasn't just a fluke. This is some of the highest quality jazz/fusion stuff I've heard all roulette: see, it's got all the chops of the jazz greats that have been sent in this roulette, but Dave Weckl's skills behind the kit make the songs themselves that much more fun to listen to. It feels like each song has a beat that more easy to catch despite all the crazy shit he's playing, and the activity in the drums helps me appreciate the wild playing from the other guys a little more because the beat is so pronounced. He is so on fire in Tomatillo that it makes me smile. Now I can only reference what I know personally, but sometimes there are moments that remind me of The Rippingstons and Russ Freeman, a couple of my favorite smooth jazz artists. It manages to be complex, chaotic, wild, and free, and that's largely attributed to Dave being able to lay down a groovy beat and still go berserk with his playing. I really dig that.

*   *   *

Indiscipline: Chess (musical) [9.3]
1. One Night in Bangkok
2. Endgame

Man I thought this was the corniest thing at first. Someone really wrote a musical about *chess*? Seriously? But then my viewpoint changed. One Night In Bangkok is really interesting and threw me for a loop; I was all about the orchestral beginning but then it abruptly shifts into this sort of Alan Parsons Project meets... I don't know. But I like it. The hook is super catchy and there's even a flute solo. But Endgame is where it's at, dude, holy fock... this could be the most epic song of the whole roulette. The last few minutes have such a genuine heaviness to the lyrics and music that it really sells me on the drama. And that last minute is a focking belter, dude, it gives me chills just like the beginning does, and I want to watch/listen to this musical now so that's impressive. Thanks a lot for this, dude.

That was a super difficult round to score :(

I'm grateful for everyone who's played in this roulette, regardless of scores, love learning about your tastes and seeing what you have to offer each round.

HOF: The Clientele [8.9]
1. Last Orders
2. Monday's Rain
3. I Can't Seem To Make You Mine
4. Enigma
5. The Age of Miracles

I really, really liked this, and it grew on me big time. There's an emotional bite to this that appeals to me, especially on I Can't Seem To Make You Mine - but it doesn't try to be overly dramatic. It's catchy and keeps the beat and tune. Also the guitar lick sounds identical to a lick on one of my favorite Kings of Leon songs which is a huge plus. Last Orders is a stunning piece. Love listening to every second of that piano. Enigma is just kind of there but it's a nice little bridge. The Age of Miracles has that same catchiness I like about I Can't Seem To Make You Mine but it's more upbeat and pleasant. Super nice submission and I'd definitely like to hear more of this artist but it looks like they have a bunch of albums so I'd need some direction. Maybe the album that has the first, third, or fifth song would be a good place to start.

*   *   *

Best score of the roulette for me! Awesome, because I spent way too much time putting this entry together. I’m really glad you liked Last Orders because it’s one I felt very strongly needed to be included but took up a chunk of time and limited my options.

They do have an extensive catalog and unfortunately a lot of EPs which tend to be a little experimental or otherwise depart a bit from their full albums in production and style, and some are duplicative or alternate versions of songs from full albums (Last Orders and Enigma are both from different EPs). I do really like the Lost Weekend EP that features Last Orders though. I would highly recommend their last full album, Music For The Age of Miracles, which has the last song I sent you. That was my introduction to the band and is just a really great album with a similar vibe as that song. If you like I Can’t Seem to Make You Mine, you should also enjoy the album it comes from, Strange Geometry.

Their earlier albums are very lo-fi (Monday’s Rain is an example of that) and a little less orchestral, but I like those too. I was trying to give a sense of the range of styles with this entry.

I’d say start with Strange Geometry and Music for The Age of Miracles, though any of their full length albums would be worth checking out (I wanted to send something from both God Save The Clientele and Bonfires on the Heath but time would not allow it).
Title: Re: The Walrus's Lead-Free Roulette -- Round 7 RESULTS!
Post by: Podaar on July 22, 2020, 09:34:56 AM
Podaar: Isao Tomita (Modest Mussorgsky - Pictures At An Exhibition) [9.1]
1. Promenade I
2. The Old Castle
3. Promenade IV
4. Ballet of the Chicks in Their Shells
5. Baba Yaga (Hut On Fowl's Legs)
6. Great Gate of Kiev

SUPER cool submission, dude. I love this synth re-imagining of a famous classical piece. It reminds me of when Emerson, Lake & Powell did a synth cover of Gustav Holst's "Mars" piece from the Planets Suite, or when Jordan Rudess covered ELP's "Tarkus." Now I'm not overly familiar with Pictures At An Exhibition, but I know a couple snippets like that choral bit in the Promenade I movement, and I like your selections because there's something interesting about all of them. I really like the Ballet of the Chicks and Baba Yaga because of how perfectly the synths are used in replicating the sound of little chicks, or the weird sounds of a witch's cauldron. The Old Castle - not sure if he's using a theremin here or not, but it gives a very "lost in space" vibe and I LOVE that. I'm very impressed by how each of the 6 tracks has a noticeable, memorable element to it, even Promenade IV as short as it is has something going for it. Definitely one of the most curious submissions of the whole roulette. Thanks for this!

I really hope you have a cat in the house and you played Ballet of the Chicks over loud speakers.  :lol

As I mentioned in my introduction, Tomita has a number of stellar albums (all difficult to get now) that I think you'd enjoy. Holst's Planets, and Snowflakes are dancing are real standouts. I hope you get a chance to hear them someday. I'm really pleased that you enjoyed this.

Walrus, what'd you think of "Black Coffee In Bed"?   Squeeze is... confounding.  They - well, Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook (the singer) - were regularly compared to Lennon and McCartney, and they weren't the Beatles, by any stretch.  But they made some really catchy, interesting music, and BCIB is one of those.  It was the single, but it wasn't really structured like a single, and it's LONG (over 6:00 minutes if memory serves).  Very lyrically astute as well (the lyrics to songs like "Up The Junction" are magnificent).

I do like the main organ riff but overall it didn't leave any kind of impression on me. I can't really see why they'd be compared to Lennon and McCartney at all, honestly. Yeah, it's just over 6 minutes. I think it could do with some trimming. Not much there for me to chew on tbh.

There's one really clear point in the song where it feels like the song is winding up, but they circle back and go back into the chorus again, and I can't help but think it's them taking the piss since it's so obvious.  They were/are good like that (they're a GREAT live band, by the way; Glenn sings and plays all the lead guitar.  I saw them recently - February, right before the lockdown - from the front row and there were easily three times I was like "how the fuck does he do that all at the same time???".  And you have to remember this isn't Rush or Dream Theater.)

Yay for ABBA technically winning a roulette round! (and old school musical theatre beating new fad musical theatre. Joking, judgement on Hamilton is suspended until I see it live.)

Glad you liked it, and should you wish to dig in, I highly recommend the London edition over the Broadway one (which has the procession of numbers screwed up, silly variations in plot, and less stellar singing).

Sending shortly, and may the most lead-free fella win.

He has his first symphony written but the debut was delayed by Covid. Also working on a violin concerto. He’s a serious composer but still does Winger and solo stuff too.

How much time do you have to dedicate to it?

If you limit it to 8 players, and one song per round, you're looking at an hour's worth of music. Do you have an hour per day to dedicate to it, and turn around a round in a week?

Sure thing, but that can be a simple plan. If you don't want to listen to too much music, you can keep it to single-song submissions, and if you want to keep it super simple you can just score each song out of 5/10/whatever and add up the scores.
Title: Re: The Walrus's Lead-Free Roulette -- Round 7 RESULTS!
Post by: Elite on July 23, 2020, 04:37:12 AM
I avoided giving songs a score from x/10 in all of my roulettes and simply stack ranked them (in various ways). Best song of the round gets the most points, followed by the next etc. You can change this up as well, to not have scores ranging from 1-10, for instance by giving the best song 5 point, the two next ones 4 points both etc. Keeps it a bit more exciting.

I used methods like this in all four roulettes I've ran over the past years, because I can't get myself to give a score based on x/10 /5 /whatever. I feel like too much randomness comes into place there and I would make it too difficult for myself, since my scores would have to reflect on the round I score them in, but also on previous rounds - i.e. a 9 in round 1 would have to be a 'better' song than an 8,8 in round 7 (no offence meant to any and all roulette hosts who do this though!), whereas with stack ranking, you're just comparing the songs to the other songs in the round based on how you feel about them at that time.

This seems like an appropriate place to leave this. Nice interview with Kip Winger about his classical compositions, influences, and the transition from rock/metal guy to classical composer. He has his first symphony written but the debut was delayed by Covid. Also working on a violin concerto. He’s a serious composer but still does Winger and solo stuff too.

https://91classical.org/post/classical-with-a-kick-kip-winger-on-the-harmony-between-heavy-metal-and-orchestral-music/

That's awesome. I'll keep an eye on this!

So goes the pattern, the roulette threads slowly fizzle away in activity as they approach the end. Well, I still need 8 submissions. No rush, final round and all, but just putting it out there. Would like to have them by the end of Sunday but I know people are busy so I will get started on what I have :biggrin:

Definitely not, because I’ve used iTunes in the past to play music and it always had gapless playback. I still use it to sync music to my phone, but don’t play music on it anymore. Just tried it now and noticed it. Why would the remove that? So strange.

Okay guys, not gonna lie, I am slacking this round. I spent all weekend focusing on getting things ready for my music room and PC which I'm getting today, so I didn't really think about the roulette. But I have every submission in, I'm starting today, will hopefully have results by the weekend, and I'll have hangman up shortly if I don't get interrupted with a sudden deluge of work.  :corn :corn

It could be Stadler, based on the fact that the submission fails to include it's two best tracks: Jive Talkin' and Night on Disco Mountain. ;D

BTW, Kattrus, there's Disco Inferno and a Fifth of Beethoven in that submission.

So the Bee Gees is J Boy.

Chick Corea, Joe Bonamassa, and Allan Holdsworth are Hath, Podaar, and Indiscipline...not necessarily in that order.

I feel like Moby is Stadler.

Just pointing out that I went 4 for 5 with this post.

Oh, alright then. I didn’t say you were cheating anyway; I sent a Horace Silver song (Song for my Father), which features Joe Henderson in the round I sent two other of ‘his’ tunes and that was fine too. No need to be to restrictive with what to send :)

And before anyone questions my musical taste, I found this (https://www.theguardian.com/music/2015/apr/15/ritchie-blackmore-i-have-a-bad-reputation-but-i-dont-mind).  I may get it tattooed on my chest:  "“No, Kiss I like because they don’t care what people think of them. They take a chance and it’s worked." - Ritchie Blackmore, 1978

So.... I liked almost everything this round. And what I liked, I liked a lot. Took a whole damn lot of thought trying to figure out how to rank and score these. Thanks for playing everybody. You've done a damn good job at opening up whole new worlds of music for me. I would love if you could suggest me some albums by each of the artists you sent because I am going to start immediately digging in to this stuff. There's very, very little in this roulette that I don't want to explore further. Everybody sent fantastic stuff at one point or another. Kudos!

*   *   *

Elite: Ben Folds Five [7.9]
1. One Angry Dwarf and 200 Solemn Faces
2. Philosophy
3. Song for the Dumped
4. The Last Polka
5. Steven's Last Night In Town

I've only heard one other Ben Folds Five song until now, but I didn't like it, so I was hoping to warm up to these. While I like some of the piano playing, there is a vibe to the songs that isn't very compelling to me and I'm having a hard time describing what about it rubs me the wrong way. I don't like his voice at all, to be honest, and while the music is well played it's not what I'd call exciting to me. I wanted to like this but I'm afraid it just doesn't do anything for me :( The arrangements and the songwriting are interesting, and it has this certain 90s indie... almost dorky? quality to the music that is unlike anything else sent in the roulette, in my opinion. I could see why some people might dig Ben Folds, but so far I don't think he's for me.

Final thoughts: Elite, you've sent so much awesome stuff in this roulette that even if you ended with a whimper, you were some fierce competition throughout the whole thing. Hats off to you. Can't wait to go back to Sublime, Kamasi Washington, and more.

*   *   *

TAC: Gary Numan [8.0]
1. Tracks
2. Metal
3. Oceans
4. Complex
5. Cars

I have such conflicting opinions on this. First of all, I like what he's doing with the synths. Super creepy vibe to all the pads and synths in this but at the same time they sound poppy. Tracks does a great job showing both sides of that. But oh man, this guy's singing voice gets on every one of my nerves. I really don't like it which is a shame because I like a lot of the music underneath. Metal, for example. Shitty riff, shitty vocals... but that haunting synth pad lurking in the back always pulls me back in, even though I can't stand some of the other parts of the song. Oceans is super cool, Complex is okay... and Cars. I do not like that song. I just hate his singing and it ruins it. So there are some super cool things about this! But I hate his singing. Yet this is one of those super rare situations where the music is just interesting enough where I might be able to get over his voice in time, and maybe start to like it. I do like unique voices that are often polarizing and off-putting to others, and who knows, I could sincerely change my mind over time. But for now...

Final thoughts: TAC, I loved your impressions in this roulette, and am grateful you jumped in halfway through. Also very thankful that you can take a joke and can return the ball-busting. Can always count on you to be a great sport and have a lot of fun. Maybe I didn't really love the music, but I just like having you in my roulettes anyway.

*   *   *

Train of Naught: Ibrahim Maalouf [8.3]
1. Intro
2. Maeva in Wonderland
3. Beirut

This was really interesting to hear. The intro is nice for a short piece. Maeva in Wonderland is simply fantastic. I love the sound of the horns and how it builds on the theme. Great memorable melody. Beirut is a really slow burn. About halfway through I'm ready for it to be over with, but then the last minute or so it finally kicks into high gear with that climactic guitar solo. So I'd say it's a little hit and miss, but for sure the horn playing is top notch, I love his sound and the rich melodies he creates.

Final thoughts: Train, you've sent some of my most favorite stuff this roulette. I cannot wait to listen to more Clarence Clarity, clipping., Federation of the Disco Pimp etc. Thank you for playing, you've got some really bizarre music, you know.

*   *   *

HOF: Mike Keneally [8.4]
1. Dee 'N' A
2. Oh Angel
3. Pretty Enough For Girls
4. Drumsticks
5. Hang Tough
6. I Was Not Ready For You

Okay, this is a mixed bag, and I'll tell you what the main reason is: it's the singing. Not a big fan of it. But other than that, the music is wonderful. There's a real pleasant vibe to all this music. But the other reason is that the songs from Nonkertompf are the ones I am most impressed by. Is the rest of the album like this, where the pieces are short instrumental works, almost like interludes? Because I loved them. They all have a rich, gorgeous sound. So although it's a mixed bag, I really do love the instrumental stuff and think I'll give the Nonkertompf record a listen.

Final thoughts: I got a good idea of the kind of music you like HOF, at least outside of rock and prog. You sent some really beautiful, emotional music that I connected with a lot and several of them like the Paul Buchanan are quite enjoyable for easy listening at home. Thank you for playing and expanding my library that much further.

*   *   *

Buddyhunter1: Anamanaguchi [8.4]
1. Lorem Ipsum (Arctic Anthem)
2. Endless Fantasy
3. Tear
4. We Die

Love how melodic and dance-y this is, especially Endless Fantasy. Tear is interesting because it's short and feels like it never quite reaches the peak it's building to... until the end. Love that enormous but soft synth pad. Tear is a very pretty song.  I think We die takes a while to get going to, but when it does, it's good. I'm definitely interested in hearing more Anamanaguchi. Based on this it seems like it's catchy and upbeat and synthy enough for my tastes.

Final thoughts: I'm glad you joined this roulette, Buddy. I've had the Bravely Default songs you sent me set as my phone alarm and ringtone music for weeks now, and I never get tired of hearing them. Lots of very interesting electronic music from your end and although I can't say I'm interested in playing Undertale again it was nice to get an appreciation for the music.

*   *   *

Evermind: Didier Marouani & Space [8.5]
1. Symphony
2. Prison
3. Deliverance
4. The Very Last Song

There's something strangely charming about this music. I like the sound of the synths a lot and how big the drums sound. Prison is catchy as heck. I love the sound of the choir in Deliverance. It lends a quality to the music I have a hard time describing, it's weird hearing it over a dance beat but it works so well. The Very Last Song took days to grow on me before I was sure I liked it, that one's a real slow burn in my opinion. I wasn't sure what to think at first, but this is very curious and I'd like to check out the whole record/concert actually.

Final thoughts: While I may not have been floored by your submissions, I could always count on getting some smooth electronic stuff from you, Ruslan. Lots of interesting stuff was sent. I'm excited to listen to more Amethystium in particular, and the Didier Marouani & Space songs have me really curious, too. I'm going to revisit all your submissions eventually but those are probably my top picks right now.

*   *   *

ariich: Bizali [8.5]
1. Intro
2. Lucille
3. Round 3
4. Everybody Here
5. Uh-huh
6. Nothing to Lose

I really, really like her voice. But the star of all this is the bonus track, Nothing to Lose! Love the energy to this piece and it reminds me a lot of that eclectic band Caravan Palace you submitted at the start. I gotta have more like that! Not to say the others are bad, though. Everybody Here and Uh-huh are my other favorites. This group seems to have some really good bass playing which gives the songs a tasty groove. I'm going to check out the Thanks Anna album, unless they have more stuff like Nothing to Lose elsewhere, in which case I'd love some suggestions.

Final thoughts: It's been a joy listening to your picks, Rich. You came out the gate swinging with Caravan Palace (eager to listen to them again) and kept trying new things. There's some great jazz in there waiting to be heard.

*   *   *

Puppies_On_Acid: Scott Walker [8.5]
1. It's Raining Today
2. Copenhagen
3. The Seventh Seal
4. The Electrician
5. The Old Man's Back Again (Dedicated To The Neo-Stalinist Regime)

This was a trip. He has a lovely voice. It's Raining Today is very pretty with lots of emotion, and Copenhagen even moreso, which sounds like this old school crooner type of music. I really dig that. The Seventh Seal is really cool! It sounds like this old school western storytelling type of music. But The Electrician reminded me of Farmer in the City, and I don't like it. I mean, I think it does a great job at creating this unsettling atmosphere, I just don't like it. The effects on his voice and the way he sings skeeves me out. I can't pinpoint exactly what it reminds me of. Certain Pink Floyd material that I've avoided for a long time, I think. The Old Man's Back Again isn't bad, but it doesn't stand out like the other songs do. Just a nice inoffensive piece (good bass though!). I'm really interested in hearing more of this cinematic side of his music based on It's Raining Today and Copenhagen, and The Seventh Seal to some extent.

Final thoughts: I think Mos Def was the highlight of your submissions, but you always sent something different and interesting, which was the whole point of this roulette. You took that premise and ran with it. Great job, buddy!

*   *   *

jingle.boy: Saturday Night Fever [8.7]
1. Bee Gees - Stayin' Alive
2. Bee Gees - Night Fever
3. Tavares - More Than A Woman
4. Walter Murphy - A Fifth of Beethoven
5. The Trammps - Disco Inferno

Now this is how you cheat. I already know Stayin' Alive and Disco Inferno, but I've never sat down and really paid attention to them. So let's talk about the Bee Gees. Stayin' Alive kicks ass, but I've never heard Night Fever and now I see where Daft Punk got some of their sound from. Barry Gibb's singing is super cheesy but I mean, hey, it just works. Ultra catchy beats and singing, disco strings, I love it, you nailed the right kind of cheesy pop for my taste. I like the flute in More Than A Woman. I absolutely love the prominence of strings and lush orchestrations in 70s pop music like this. A Fifth of Beethoven - very clever of you to slip in some classical with a modern(?) twist. But it ain't no Disco Inferno. I've heard that song a lot without knowing who did it and I dig it. That hook is legendary imo. Maybe I should watch Saturday Night Fever.

Final thoughts: So happy you changed your mind and decided to play in this. It was a rocky start, but you sent some home runs after you found your footing. There's some really great unexpected picks in your submissions and I'm eager to get back to Nikki Yanofsky and Christina Aguilera.

*   *   *

Bolsters: All Hail The Silence [8.8]
1. Looking Glass
2. The Alarm
3. Broken Satellite

I recommended this group to a friend this week and he immediately bought the CD, so hooray. I'll be listening to this one soon, too. It's great synthwave type stuff. I really like all three of these, but The Alarm is my favorite. I just love the steady beat, the whole vibe, that hook is straight up magical, man. Fits like a glove into my synthwave library. Great songs!

Final thoughts: You know you're the synthwave guy in my eyes now, right? It was game over after CHVRCHES. You and Shadow both sent my absolute #1 favorite discovery of this roulette, so thank you thank you thank you.

*   *   *

romdrums: Chick Corea (Akoustic Band) [8.9]
1. Humpty Dumpty (live)
2. Autumn Leaves (live)

I am so sold on Chick Corea that I recently watched an hour long video of him constructing a song from scratch and working it out with some musicians. Just fascinating to watch that guy work and play. I mean, all the guys on these two songs are great to listen to, they're monster players, but Chick is the star and I am blown away by his playing. Literally my only complaint is that like a lot of jazz stuff, it's hard to follow what the actual motif of a given song actually is. For the most part I can pick out licks that might reprise later on in the performance, but there's so much soloing that it makes a lot of the performances all blur together for me. And maybe that's on me, but it's not a dig at the music as if it's not interesting, it's just hard to think back to, "Humpty Dumpty, that piece that goes like... uh..." y'know? Fantastic pieces to listen to though. Master players.

Final thoughts: Man, it was a delight having you in this roulette, romdrums. You sent some particularly bold stuff and sometimes that paid off big time. Chick Corea, Keith Emerson, etc. - lots of really meaty, substantial music. Thank you!

*   *   *

wolfking: Allan Holdsworth [8.9]
1. City Nights
2. Atavachron
3. Tokyo Dream
4. Ruhkukah

The synths sound great for this although they have that cheap 80s sound. Smart playing all around (common theme this round). Atavachron might be my favorite on this because of all the keyboard and piano playing. I think I remember reading something about Holdsworth's style of playing and how he was influenced by saxophone players? I can hear that at times in this music, unless I'm just making things up. I think that's really cool because it changes how he phrases the music. Sometimes I get lost in the meandering but that could just be my noob ears tripping up from time to time. I would love to check out an album or two from Holdsworth to get started, perhaps Hard Hat Area and Atavachron? This is right in the pocket with Chick Corea and Trio in Tokyo in my opinion.

Final thoughts: Eric Johnson, Allan Holdsworth, an Aussie pop girl, and a whole bunch of 80s pop rock. My man, you chose things I like. Thanks for playing again :)

*   *   *

Indiscipline: Trio In Tokyo (Michel Petrucciani, Steve Gadd, & Anthony Jackson) [9.0]
1. September Second (live)
2. Cantabile (live)
3. Little Peace in C for U (live)

Similar to the Chick Corea in this round (and others, like Return to Forever for example) it's a bit hard to tell what the motif or theme of a piece is. Fascinating music to listen to, just hard to pick out what the definitive melody of a work is. I kind of like having that anchor for a piece. Or maybe I'm just too small-brained to recognize the jazzy structure of it since I'm still getting my feet wet listening to the genre. No matter what it is, it's still highly enjoyable to listen to. This Michel Petrucciani fellow is a great pianist. I like the repetitive he does in Cantabile that goes on for seemingly forever. Charming easy lick. Great mood to all this stuff, I'd love to check out more by any of these three guys. Lots of masterful playing in this round, this is among the best.

Final thoughts: My man, I knew from the moment you signed up you were gonna send some interesting stuff and I'm so glad you didn't disappoint. Rondo Veneziano, all the Al Di Meola, Trio in Tokyo, and Chess - simply sublime, I'm very grateful for these contributions.

Sacul: Perturbator [9.0]
1. Miami Disco
2. Sexualizer (feat. Flash Arnold)
3. Humans Are Such Easy Prey
4. Vantablack

This final round is weird. Elite sent king music, Stadler sent Sacul music, Sacul sent Bolsters music. This is great! I've heard a lot of my synthwave friends mention Perturbator like they're one of the synthwave pioneers. I don't know anything about synthwave lore but I do know this is kickass and right up the alley I'm wandering these days. Sexualizer has it all going on. That is a kickass song with huge energy. Humans Are Such Easy Prey is good, too, and I dig the massive synth pads a lot. Vantablack has a cool club kind of energy. I really want to check out more Perturbator so maybe I'll start with the Sexualizer EP since that's my favorite here. I suppose my one criticism is that I'm not into the vocals, what little there are, but it's not a big deal.

Final thoughts: I'm happy you had plenty of Sacul music to send, even if sometimes it didn't connect with me. Saltillo, Perturbator, and more however stick out in my mind as some of your best. You have very deep pockets full of glitchy, ambient, lo-fi beats and shit like that and I dig it :2metal:

*   *   *

Big Hath: Chick Corea Elektric Band [9.1]
1. Beneath The Mask
2. One Of Us Is Over 40
3. Quartet No. 1

This is brilliant. Of the two Chick Corea submissions this round, both are wonderful, but this is my favorite. All the synth stuff and just the vibe of these songs reminds me of The Rippingtons, a smooth jazz group I love. This is excellent! It's just so fun to listen to those first two songs and all the keyboard work in them. And I have to give props to the bass playing in Quartet No. 1. Lots of great bass playing this round and this is no exception. I love what he's playing even when Chick is doing a piano solo. At times it reminds me a bit of Herbie Hancock's Dolphin Dance, one of my favorite pieces. The brightness of the piano appeals to me. Wonderful stuff dude!

Final thoughts: I'm glad this time nothing bad happened and you were able to get a full roulette in because I knew you had some great music to send, but wow, you really impressed me with a lot of your submissions, dude. I've been thinking about Jason Isbell's music all roulette and am excited to get to him first, among all the other great stuff you picked.

*   *   *

Shadow Ninja 2.0: Run The Jewels [9.1]
1. Legend Has It
2. Call Ticketron
3. Lie, Cheat, Steal
4. All Due Respect
5. Nobody Speak

I listened to RTJ's new album when it came out recently and I really liked it, so you chose some good picks from RTJ 2 and 3. I really dig this. I know nothing about RTJ, but the beats are hard, the lyrics are great, and I dig the flows. I feel like I should've been listening to them for years. Hard to pick a favorite, there's stuff I love in all the songs. I'd say Lie, Cheat, Steal and Nobody Speak are the top favorites, maybe Legend Has It, too. But they're all great, thanks for sending them, dude.

Final thoughts: You see-sawed the extremes in this roulette, my guy, but the good picks were GOOD. You yourself actually sent my #1 favorite submission in the roulette with your choice of CHVRCHES songs, so for that alone, I'm very thankful. You the man, dawg. It was nice getting a variety of certifiably weird shit sometimes, like the Homestuck music.

*   *   *

Stadler: Moby [9.2]
1. Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?
2. Bodyrock
3. Natural Blues
4. Porcelain

I'm genuinely shocked at how much this sounds like Sacul music and how he's never once tried to send Moby. This is REALLY good, dude. Heard about Moby my whole life and thought he was a techno artist or something. Bodyrock sounds like a song I may have heard somewhere in my life, but I can't be sure. It's a nice pumped up tune, but I prefer Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad? and ESPECIALLY Natural Blues. Both of those are fantastic, Natural Blues' vocal hook is addictive and I can't get it out of my head. Porcelain is beautiful - partially from the lush beat, but it's that watery piano that puts it over the top. Absolutely wonderful songs, I need more.

Final thoughts: From Elvis to Moby and more, you picked lots of stuff I dug in a big way, Stads. Always had something curious up your sleeve, sometimes safe, sometimes not so safe, but it usually worked in your favor. Gave me a lot of new stuff to chew on. Tori Amos is a priority for me now.

*   *   *

kingshmegland: Béla Fleck and the Flecktones [9.3]
1. The West County
2. The Sinister Minister
3. Sex In A Pan
4. UFO TOFU
5. Life Without Elvis

Man, where to even start with this. This is outstanding! Everything about this is great. This is a showcase of extraordinary musicianship and just really fun music. Love the catchy themes and melodies over some incredible bass playing (Victor Wooten?). I love the harmonica, whoever's playing that is amazing. It's hard for me to pick a favorite. UFO Tofu is going to be the record I check out first, for sure. These songs are produced really well too, they're pleasant to listen to because of how clear everything is.

Final thoughts: I'm really happy you weren't ever salty about your scores, buddy, or at least didn't show it. I wish you had sent stuff like your last submission for the whole roulette, because that was easily the COOLEST thing you've ever sent me in a roulette. Love having you play in my roulettes!

*   *   *

Podaar: Joe Bonamassa [9.4]
1. Mountain Climbing
2. Drive
3. No Good Place For The Lonely

I don't know if I've ever listened to Bonamassa until now, but this was amazing. Without knowing a thing about him or how old he is, so much of his voice and the way he sings reminds me of Jorn, one of my most favorite singers. These songs have infectious groove. Love the vibe on Mountain Climbing. Drive is my favorite. It has such a neat summer night kind of vibe with one of the best hooks of this whole round. No Good Place For The Lonely is a great blues-y rocker. I love the slides in the riff and how punchy the rhythms are. This kicks major ass, thanks for introducing me to his music.

Final thoughts: My guy, you took the idea of this roulette and ran with it. Just between Isao Tomita, Bob James & Keiko Matsui, and Joe Bonamassa, you stood out big time. Very happy to have you in one of my roulettes!

Okay, I am exhausted. I am not running another roulette until I have listened to the majority of everything I want to explore from all my past roulettes. It's been fun, but I need a very long break to just appreciate all the music in front of me. Thanks so much everybody  :biggrin:

Congrats to Indiscipline!

Thanks for organizing this, Walrus. It was a blast!

As far as Mike Keneally, he has about a billion albums and it ranges from heavy Zappa type stuff to jazzy and acoustic stuff, and then there’s stuff like Nonkertompf. That album is pretty much like what you heard in my entries, though I maybe sent some of the less weird tracks. It’s all very stream of consciousness, but it does sound great. I get not liking his voice. It was hang up for me for a while too. That Beer for Dolphins album is a personal favorite though, so it’s worth giving it a chance to see if you can get past the voice IMO.

After three last place entries to start off, finishing top 10 is a win in my books. 

Duran Duran rated as one of the worst scores in the whole roulette is criminal though.   ;)

Now, go dig in to these 1000 or so songs/artists you've gotten from all of your roulettes.

Congrats, Indi!

What makes you so sure it's Indi? Maybe it's not Elite OR Indi! :corn :corn

As soon as I saw Indi sent something with Steve Gadd on drums, I knew he won.   ;D

I’ll take top three though! Happy to be on the podium!  And congrats again to Indi!

I'm so glad I sent you stuff you've found interesting, Mike, and I do thank you for daring to organise such a fun, engaging, and different kind of roulette - realistically speaking, the only kind of roulette I have some chance to truly contend in or win.

Kudos to all the contenders for the scope and general taste of the submissions; discovering (or re-descovering) your tunes every week has been as fun as checking hangmans/impressions/results and partaking in the overall craziness and TAC-flavoured great comedy.


Thanks for the kind congrats; rest assured this success isn't going to change me. I'm still that humble guy from Bethlehem.

Wow, my short and less than dazzling roulette career goes out on very high note!

I'm so glad you liked JB (and really surprised since you yawned at Derek Trucks). To my mind he's the most creative blues-man out there. Like John Petrucci, he gets criticism from genre fans for being too precise of a player--which somehow magically means he doesn't have "feel". But as you noticed, the slide in the riff of NGPftL is the kind of creativity the blues needs to stay fresh. And I'm with you on his voice, but he had to grow into it. His earliest albums aren't quite so effortless, vocally, so if you go listen to them you'll see some contrast. He's skilled at a myriad of traditional sub-genres of blues, and has always been brave enough to throw in a rock sensibility... or swing, or country, or big band, or funk...etc. I'm a fan.

Thanks for having me along for the ride. I appreciate your shout out about me running with the theme. I enjoyed it...but, you wouldn't believe some of the playlist I was putting together that I abandoned: Native American Flute Music, Hawiian Sovereignty Protest Music (yes, this is music I own.)  :lol

And congrats, Alessandro! I knew you had it in ya.  And I'm sure your relieved now that you got it out.

So many people to respond to, I'll just thank you all once again for playing, this was an absolute blast every week to listen to so many types of music. Elite, you sound bummed, I'm so sorry  :lol Podaar, I would still love to hear those things. I love Native American flute stuff (though not in my symphonic metal, Nightwish :getoffmylawn: ) and the Hawaiian stuff sounds interesting, too. Hath, go ahead and PM me the stuff whenever you want!

I'm probably going to update this thread with my thoughts as I go through each artist again. Or maybe I'll make a new thread to catalog all my roulette discovery re-discoveries? Not sure. There's a lot to go through but I know how to approach it, so...

Well, I am a bit bummed probably. I was in second place since round 3 and in the lead for the last three rounds. Finishing 6th after the final round then sucks, to be honest, especially since I really thought you would enjoy fun piano driven music.

I personally think the selection of Ben Folds tracks you got is awesome, especially The Last Polka, which is a savage track. Amazing. I could have gone with something else entirely (like more jazz), but I wanted to send you lots of varied stuff.

I’m glad you enjoyed most of what I sent though and thanks for running this! Enjoy exploring new music :)

You were definitely one of the most consistent players, for sure! And that just proves how nonsensical my tastes can seem. I SHOULD like Ben Folds! But I don't seem to. I do appreciate taking risks and sending a variety though. I feel like sometimes the scoring systems interfere with that, to some extent.

I like some of Ben Folds’ stuff (Rockin’ the Suberbs is a great album, and the first Ben Folds Five has its moments), but I also get the sense that I should like him more than I do.

Post by: The Walrus on August 03, 2020, 07:34:59 AM
It's still really fun looking back at each round's playlist and seeing so much variety. I have a hard time listening to one genre for a very long time these days, I like to hear all kinds of different sounds (obviously) so this was super fun to jump between jazz and ska and country and musicals and folk music and classical etc. just such an awesome wide range of sounds and styles. Unlike past roulettes I wasn't able to listen to this music on my nice monitors, but this weekend I hooked them back up to my new PC and I'll get to hear a lot of this stuff again in a really fun way.

I think I'm going to make a thread where I'll occasionally do big updates with my thoughts on albums I checked out from roulette submissions. Should be fun.

I think I'm going to make a thread where I'll occasionally do big updates with my thoughts on albums I checked out from roulette submissions. Should be fun.

This is exactly what I'm doing today in a few hours. :) I'll definitely follow that.

I'll follow yours, too. Woo!

I have a system set up now. I get to see-saw between drowning in an endless sea of 2020 releases and all this! At least I've got enough options for music discovery to last me through the next ten years  :lol

Podaar, I would still love to hear those things. I love Native American flute stuff (though not in my symphonic metal, Nightwish :getoffmylawn: ) and the Hawaiian stuff sounds interesting, too.

Here's the signature song (https://open.spotify.com/track/4Fk6COKDCRgoFKQx9wzpVF?si=-Ez5amKMRcO2ZgwIrycGWQ) from the Elvis of Hawaiian protest music, Israel Kamakawiwoʻole (or just Iz, as he's popularly known on the Islands). Just to give you a taste.

As for Native Flute, you can't do better than Carlos Nakai. Sun's House (https://open.spotify.com/track/3ceYNmMKd9gNYy1U8Il8hv?si=kM82P0zESbybHzuT1Lr3bg) is a great sample of the genre.

Nice job Indi, nice job Mike, and nice job to TAC for his role, whatever the fook that was!   :)


This was a fun one.  I like sending off-kilter stuff and seeing if it sticks.

(By the way, Mike, you may have heard a LOT of that Moby stuff; he licenses a lot of his music for use elsewhere, in commercials, documentaries, etc.  I think at one point EVERY song off of his album "Play" was licensed for some additional use.)

Wow. That's the first one I'll check out then. You might be right!

AWESOME. I just wrapped up an album so I'll check those out right now.

EDIT: Would've loved to receive some Iz during the roulette. Beautiful song. Think I'll just listen to the whole record right now. I know his rendition of Somewhere Over The Rainbow and it's beautiful but I always wanted to hear more.

This Iz record is really lovely chill stuff.  :hat

Yeah, I'm an Iz fan for sure.

If you like reggae, there's Hawaiian flavor of it colloquially known as Jawiian. I can't think of any artists off the top of my head (it's been years since I tried to get into it) but it's chock full of protest against haole rule.

Post by: The Walrus on August 03, 2020, 09:56:12 AM
I'm going to have to look up what haole even means.

Listening to the Carlos Nakai record now and wow this is just beautiful. You should've sent this during the roulette. Probably would've done very well. That's EXACTLY what I was calling for in this roulette. :hefdaddy

EDIT: Might have figured out part of my love for the sound of Native American flutes. They remind me of owls. During summers all my life I'd hear owls in the evening. Not sure what kind of owl it is, but it was a distinctive "Hooooo, hoooo, hoooo..." that would repeat and slowly descend in pitch with each hoo, almost like it was moving away, about one hoo per second. Anyway I love the sound of owls and flutes and yeah. Love this music  :biggrin:

Shame to end up bang in mid-table, but also really glad I never scored below 8.1 - basically every single submission fell in the 8.1-8.9 range so I was very average all throughout, but consistent at least. :lol

Ok, albums to start with for each artist:

Caravan Palace: Definitely start with their self-titled debut, and if you like it and want to check more then just work your way chronologically. The next two are really great, and then their latest is less exciting but pleasant enough.

Submotion Orchestra: Their debut, Finest Hour, is wonderful and a great starting point. The 1968 EP is also amazing. So I would definitely start with both (the EP is short) as they both offer something a little different. If you like them then again just work forward chronologically.

The Cat Empire: So Many Nights is the best album to start with, definitely, it has an energy and infectiousness to it that I think you'll enjoy a lot and it's a little more experimental than their other albums. Their self-titled is more indie but also really great fun, so check that next if you want to explore more.

Regina Spektor: Hard to choose between the two albums I sent you songs from. Your favourites were from Begin to Hope, but personally I find Far to be the stronger and more consistent album. Take your pick between them, or ideally check out both.

Everything Everything: Their latest, Fever Dream, is definitely their strongest overall IMO, so start there.

Blue Food: They only have one full-length, Engines, so start with that. They also did an EP which is great fun too, maybe even more up your street.

Alkinoos Ioannidis: All the songs I sent were from Oi Peripeteies Enos Proskyniti (The Adventures of a Pilgrim) so that's the obvious starting point. If you want to explore more, it kinda depends what you're most interested in I guess. I really like his latest album, Mikri Valitsa (Small Suitcase), which is more stripped back acoustic Cypriot folk really - I don't think there was even a drummer on that album. His other three really good albums (from newest to oldest) are Neroponti (Downpour), Anemodeiktis (Weathervane) and O Dromos, O Chronos Kai O Ponos (The Road, the Time and the Pain) which have some great songs but are all a little mixed/incoherent as albums.

Bizali: Thanks Anna is really the album to check out - and like I said the Spotify version doesn't have the bonus track, but at least I've sent it to you so you have it. The other album they have on Spotify I like a lot but it's very different, it's not really funky and is much more indie/experimental - a precursor to Mesadorm who they ended up forming (with an added Cellist) after they stopped as Bizali.

Doh,  :facepalm:

I didn't trust my instincts and figured you'd just think it boring. I love it...music to get a gentle massage by while the smell of incense is in the air.  :)

It also helps that it has those Ghost of Tsushima vibes, despite being a fair ways away from that part of the world  :lol

Thanks for the suggestions Rich! I'll be following them when I get to your picks.  :corn

I think I’ve given you album recommendations for all of my entries already, but a quick recap:

1. Kip Winger: You should check out Songs from the Ocean Floor which I didn’t send anything from trying to avoid rock and prog, but it probably would have been fine given what else ended up getting through. But definitely check out the classical album he released, Conversations with Nijinsky.

2. Sweet Billy Pilgrim: if you liked Kalypso you’ll probably like Twice Born Men, which is about the same style and pace as that song throughout. But my favorite from them is probably Motorcade Amnesiacs, and I think I’d recommend starting there.

3. Paul Buchanan/The Blue Nile: check out A Walk Across the Rooftops first, and also Peace at Last.

4. Crowded House: either the self-titled debut or Temple of Low Men

5. Peter Gabriel: from what I sent you, definitely Passion.

6. Nickel Creek: self-titled is where I’d start.

7. The Clientele: Music for the Age of Miracles and Strange Geometry.

8. Mike Keneally: from your impressions, you might like Nonkertompf, but I still think you should give Beer for Dolphins - Dancing a full spin or twelve to see if it clicks.

Send you a pm with my album recommendations. I'll prob send you a short playlist of leftovers later tho, since you won't host another of these for quite a while.

First post-roulettes update. Still not sure if I want to make a thread for this but I'm already having a blast. Not picking in any order, just going from artist to artist.

CHVRCHES
---
The Bones of What You Believe
Every Open Eye
Love Is Dead


My favorite from this last roulette and one of my favorite roulette submissions in general. Can't get enough of this group, I love Lauren Mayberry's voice, the lyrics, and the synth sounds, it's huge, super catchy, it's just perfect. Every Open Eye is a bit too long and not quite as strong as the other two records imo but it has Leave A Trace and Clearest Blue which are two of my very favorites. Overall this group just knocks it out of the park, huge fan of them now. Put all 3 on the purchase list

Gunship
---
Gunship
Dark All Day


The debut is all right, but I've heard better synthwave, and it wasn't nearly as captivating as I expected it to be based on Dark All Day. Now DAD, that is a tremendous album, banger after banger. The title track is still the best thing about it but that's a really high bar tbh. This group rules, hope their next one is like Dark All Day. Put DAD on the purchase list and maybe the debut if I warm up to it some more

VOLA
---
Inmazes
Applause of a Distant Crowd


Every once in a while the djenty-ness of the metal sounds like Voyager which is a good thing imo. The first album is great, but Applause is super impressive. The whole thing has this great, cool, watery texture, it's very peaceful and calm but sounds huge and engaging at the same time. They have such a unique sound and they make excellent use of his voice. They are fantastic at making odd meters sound less jarring than they should be. Ruby Pool is my favorite song by these guys. Will definitely buy both and I would love for them to play PPUSA in the future

4. Crowded House: either the self-titled debut or Temple of Low Men

Random fact I just learned that you can stick in your pocket for when you need a six degrees of separation link: Joe Satriani provided some background vocals on Temple of Low Men (according to Allmusic.com at least).

Edit: so the way I found that out is I was checking out the credits for session guitarist (and now YouTuber) Tim Pierce, who played some extra guitar on the first two Crowded House records. This video is pretty cool as he breaks down some of the guitar parts and plays some of an early rehearsal tape of them working on Don’t Dream It’s Over.

One more edit then I’ll stop. This live performance by Neil Finn is tremendous:

Oh I forgot to post in here. I'm glad you're enjoying CHVRCHES so much! Technically half the credit goes to Bolsters, and even more technically all the credit goes to Bolsters, since he's the one who sent The Mother We Share in my roulette and introduced me to the group.

HOF, I appreciate the info! I'll be referring to your posts when I check out Crowded House  :metal Shadow, you and Bolsters both share credit for CHVRCHES. But I'll give the slight edge to Bolsters for introducing you in the first place  :lol

Back with one more!

Caravan Palace - albums Caravan Palace, Panic, <|º_º|>, and Chronologic. I think I like the first and most recent albums the most. The first one has Dragons and Suzy, which are still my favorite songs, but the newest, Chronologic, has this smoother, kind of poppy sound compared to the others. I like it a lot. Going to continue listening to these guys throughout the day and night. Lots of groovy stuff here. Actually, About You (feat. Charles X) on Chronologic is quickly becoming a favorite. Fun band with a unique sound! EDIT: Yup, latest album is quickly becoming my favorite!

I can't remember who is responsible for introducing me to CHVRCHES. I know I discovered them here on DTF but they weren't sent to me during a roulette, I must have just stumbled onto the name in another thread and checked them out.

I've decided to post sporadic updates after I finish rounds so this will be a long term project. I'm doing a deep dive on (almost) every band, pretty much everything this roulette that caught my interest, which was almost everything sent haha. So after I get through round 1 I'll post a big ol writeup thing. Tower of Power alone is keeping me busy as I'm checking out a bunch of records from them.

The name ‘Tower of Power’ always brings back memories to the Ascension map in Halo 2 multiplayer.
