so do you have it now?

Yes.

Expect results 'round (my) midnight (i.e. in a couple hours).

Results Are In! 

Note about ratings: I will be rating songs based on how much I enjoyed them.  If I really enjoy all songs in a round, y'all get high scores.  If I find ya'll's selections 'meh', you scores will correspond with that.  Also, in my scoring system, 5 means average, as in, not really good or bad, just there.  Odds are, your scores will be from 6-8 (above average to good to very good).  9s and 10s mean that I found it GREAT.  If I actually find a song displeasing, that'll be the only time I'd really be giving out a sub-5 score, and I (hope) that doesn't happen.   :P

Anyhoo, here's how y'all did:

antigoon: Conor Oberst- Lenders in the Temple

I really liked this folksy ditty.  I'm somewhat of an instrumental dork, but I found that the simple and sparse approach here really got me, due to its being so effective in bringing out the mood here.  It's quite catchy, as well, which doesn't hurt, either.  This really tuned out to be really appealing, man. 

8

DTVT: Communic- Denial

I found this to be some really groovy, rockin' stuff.  The drumwork was impressive, as well; it wasn't, like, super-over-the-top or anything, but the fills were pleasing and the grooves were pretty tasty, you know, and that's never a bad thing.  The bridge also picked things up, not that it was lacking energy before it, or anything.

8

Gorille85: Hans Zimmer - Time (Inception OST)]Hans Zimmer- Time

Effective scoring can really add impact to a film.  This song, from Inception's OST, is a good example of that.  It begins with a simple piano progression over a pulsing synth rhythm and grows into a grand statement as more and more layers of orchestration come in.  After climaxing, it ends as it began.  Really hard-hitting stuff there; this sort of music is what really made me dig seeing Inception.  (I really ought to get the OST, eh?)

9

kári: Mono- Moonlight

When you said it'd take me places, you weren't lying!  The gradual, but very intense crescendo that defined much of this piece really gave it a real sense of journey, like I was floating upwards some great distance!  It was so cool seeing such a great deal of variation made around one series of chord progressions, as well.  I'm a sucker for a great buildup, and you got me hook, line, and sinker.

10

jingle.boy: Pagan's Mind- Hallo Spaceboy

Real thick Sci-fi-like atmosphere going on here, which can do no wrong in my mind.   ;D  Overall, it's quite eerie, as well as very energetic.  Lots of catchy vocal lines going on.  I approve.

8

Lie Low The Wanted Man: Floex - Precious Creature

The combination of woodwind melodies and electronic loops and beats proves effective in creating a cool and unsettling atmosphere.  I feel it would have worked better as an instrumental, but as is, it's a good execution of an interesting idea.

7

lonestar: Steve Howe- Running The Human Race

Great guitarwork from the Yes-man himself.  Lots of great melodies are to be found here.  The backing tracks are rather late-80s-kitschy-sounding, but do a good job at following the directions of the guitarwork upfront. 

8

obscure: Brainstorm- Below The Line

It's a good and catchy mid-paced rocker.  I enjoyed it, being a fan of power metal, though I didn't find it outstanding.  It did everything well, though, and it's damn energetic.

7

YtseBitsySpider: Maxxess- Slow Motion


Very relaxing and calm.  That I quite enjoy.  While the texture is very nice, it does lack a bit in terms of variety.  However, it is very pleasant overall.

7

Standings:

kári-10
Gorille- 9
anti-goon- 8
The Champ-8
Kim Jong- 8
lonestar- 8
Blackman- 7
obscure- 7
Ytse- 7

Overall, good stuff came in.  We're off 2 a good start, and speaking of 2, Round 2 is:

Time 2 Time


Here's how it goes down:

I send each of you a PM with 2 random numbers.  You then have to send in a song lasting any number of minutes between those numbers.

Glad you liked it.  Like I said in my PM, I had to suffer through over an hour of his solo stuff to find the right song.  The sacrifices I make for this forum.

I'm sure it was agony!

Cup... you said that 'live' songs were ok, I assume that stands for this round?  Even still, I have a grand total of 34 songs to chose from in my library that are within the times I got.  And is this like Nick's roulette where even one second over (or under) results in an automatic fail and 0 points?
That's a word salad - and take it from me, I know word salad
I fear for the day when something happens on the right that is SO nuts that even Stadler says "That's crazy".

Live song are okay.

I simply won't continue things until everyone's sent in a song within their time range.

It wasn't easy for me to find a song that fit my time range, but I managed. ;)

Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.
