Best song (5 points):

DTVT: Family Jewels - Magellan

I've heard talk about these guys on PA before, but haven't checked them out yet. My first comment is that guy sure can play flute. That flute solo was fuckin awesome. The way this song built up too it never let my attention waiver for a second. These guys have definitely landed on my bands to hear more of list.  :tup

High tier(4 points):

dtismajesty: The Nebbish Route/Falling Awake - Shpongle


 :lol @ the Ned Flanders thing at the very beginning. Anyways, this song was pretty wacky for sure. I don't know what it was about this one, but it was captivating for sure. The Nebbish Route was weird and crazy while Falling Awake made for a nice closing. Great electronic song, will hear more from these guys.

Gorille85: Lost in Moments - Ulver
It took me quite a while to decide which got the 4 between you and ariich, but this one narrowly won. That sax by the beginning was some of the darkest sounding saxophone work I've ever heard. It gave me some major chills. The atmosphere this song sets is amazing. Great job of making up for the first round.


Middle Tier(3 points):

ariich: Silent Film - Dog Fashion Disco

I don't know what the hell this was but it kicked ass. :lol This song was short and, as I love, insane. Great job utilising my love of the weird. I thought the vocals were pretty cool too and the use of the brass/wind criteria here was great.


TheVoxyn: Dragon Roost Island - Koji Kondo

Video game music?  Really? :lol Well I gotta say the flute here was pretty great. I do love video game music and this song is awesome. I have yet to play Wind Waker, but this really is the perfect island music just from listening to it. Nice one.


Medium low tier (2 points):

zxlkho: Left Out - Riverside

Alright, it lost a bit for it's lack of wind/brass work, but it was a good song. :P Riverside is one of those bands I listened to a few songs of and forgot about, despite enjoying them. This song was pretty cool though. A few parts here and there dragged on a bit, but I gotta say... DAT ORGAN SOLO. :metal


The King in Crimson: Promised Land - Queensryche

All I've heard from Queensryche is the famous Operation: Mindcrime, which completely failed to impress me. This song wasn't bad though. It didn't sound as generic 80s metal as lots of Mindcrime came off as to me and it definitely had it's charms. Wasn't amazing, but by no means is it bad.


Bottom Tier (1 point):

jsem: School - Supertramp

Sorry man. :( All I've heard from Supertramp was a few radio songs, which were okay. This song too, was okay. I did like when the band came in quite a bit though, but this song really wasn't that impressive. Sorry.

Rankings:
DTVT: 8
ariich/YtseBitsySpider: 7
zxlkho: 7
dtismajesty: 7
Gorille85: 5
jsem: 5
TheVoxyn: 5
The King in Crimson: 4

Round 3:
I need cheering up. Simple round: send me a happy song. It doesn't have to be super in-your-face happy, but it should have at least a slight happy/cheery/optimistic mood to it.

If you found the Nebbish Route wacky, I'll tell you now that it is pretty tame compared to most Shpongle songs!


Glad you liked it, though.

NOTHING IS SAVING YOU NOW, AT YOUR DEATH BED CONFESSIONAL

Love that song. Particularly the random saxophone solo after the really crazy bit :lol

I intentionally thought of what TheVoxyn was going to send, and then sent something different.  I have a feeling we thought of the same artist again.

Well in an effort to not conflict with each other neither of us sent the artist I think you're thinking about, because I thought he was thinking about it too so we both sent something different.

Therefore you should be alright!

Nothing wrong with sending the same artist. If it's the same song, the person running the roulette should keep it for the first person and ask the second person re-submit, but if it's a different song by the same artist, that should be fine.

By the way, I admire you guys for not being afraid to send some more mainstream sounding songs. :)

Best song(5 points):

TheVoxyn: Anathema - Dreaming Light

I don't know what to say except this song is really awesome. I've been recommended Anathema many times but had never actually gotten anything from them, but wow this is great. The singer is really awesome and it has that definite uplifting vibe to it. It was really what was on my mind when making this round. Congrats. :tup

High tier(4 points):

The King In Crimson: Banana Man - Tally Hall

 :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin
Alright enough with the laughs, but I gotta say you took a big risk this round, and it paid off. Despite the fact both the song and music video are completely insane and kinda stupid, I actually thought this song kicked major ass (probably because of the insanity and stupidity). But now it's probably gonna be stuck in my head for quite a while. :P

ariich: BT - Good Morning Kaia

This song started out pretty depressing, but it got the upliftingness later on. This song was absolutely gorgeous and accompanied with the video is even better. It really is an uplifting one, great job. :tup


Middle Tier(3 points):

jsem: A.C.T - The Effect

Yeah, you were right. This song is rather cheesy. But it didn't bother me because I really liked the song. The verses had a great sort of vibe to it (which for some reason reminded me of I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)) and this song was overall a fun listen. :)

zxlkho: dredg - Bug Eyes

Yeah, the lyrics here definitely don't match up to the mood of the song itself. :lol But still, great song. Another band I've heard of but never gotten around to. This song had a nice accessibility to it and overall I enjoyed it. :)


Medium Low Tier(2 points):

DTVT: Fulfej - Work in this Universe

Another accessible one. The choice here was incredibly difficult between this one and Bug Eyes. Anyways, this one definitely had optimistic lyrics and the vibe too. I like the chorus, thought it was pretty great. Overall a great song, and I feel bad for only giving it 2 points.

Gorille85: Jonsi - Go Do

Another song I wish I could've given more. Anyway, my thoughts on the link were "Jonsi? Didn't know he had a solo career." I then opened the link and said "NNNNOOOOOOO!!!" because I recognized it from a Ford Explorer commercial. :lol It annoyed me in the commercial, but as a whole this song ain't half bad at all. It probably is the happiest song sent this round, and it was pretty good. :biggrin:


Bottom tier(1 point):

dtismajesty: Gregory and the Hawk - Doubtful

Alright this song wasn't bad. I liked the guitar quite a bit and she had a great voice (except I thought it sounded kinda awkward how her voice jerks up in the chorus). It just didn't really work for me. :( Still, it wasn't a bad song, it just didn't give me all that much enjoyment. Sorry. :(


Rankings:

ariich/YBS - 11
The Voxyn - 10
zxlkho - 10
DTVT - 10
dtismajesty - 8
The King in Crimson - 8
jsem - 8
Gorille85 - 7

Round 4 theme:
Alright here's a simple one. Just... instrumental. I'm not gonna restrain you much, I'll let you open your minds a bit. Just send me any instrumental.
