RESULTS

Sorry for my write-ups, I'm really tired.

? - Kingston Wall - And I Hear You Call
The main riff has been caught in my head a lot. Nice prog rock song with oriental influences, I really love the drumming in it.
8,8

Scorpion - Myrath - Under Siege
Tunisian heavy metal, cool! Their ethnic background can certainly be heard. Heavy 7-string-guitar riffing is supported by tasty string synths. I expected for more powerful chorus, but after all, a very good song. I guess the lyrics are influenced by the Arab Spring?
8,5

Nekov - Korpiklaani - Väkirauta
Noo, you should have send something Argentinian. I have heard some Astor Piazzolla played by one classical quartet and it sounded great. However, I like Finnish folk music and this made no difference, even though being quite heavy. Very fun song. Accordion solo  :lol :metal.

Grooveshark jams a lot, please don't use it. mp3:s are alright again due to change of e-mail address.
9,1

WindMaster - Mumford & Sons - The Cave
Beautiful and rather uplifting folk track. I don't usually like banjo, but it is used well here.
8

MoraWintersoul - Skyclad - Inequality Street
I fell in love with this song as soon as it began. The only song with Celtic influences I recieved. Seems to be a bit cheek-in-tongue, makes me smile. Damn fine song, and I love the vocalist's accent.
9,5

obscure - The Tea Party - Gyroscope
Again you send me a grower, I like this now much more than on the first listen. The shortest song I've got so far, but it has many great elements compressed in a short amount of time without feeling incomplete. Might be the noisiest one this round aswell.
8,7

Lolzeez - Shakti - Mind Ecology
Well this one's interesting. There's a fast-paced percussion and some Indian instrument in the background, and an acoustic guitar and a violin playing over it. The musicianship is indeed excellent. Very different to everything else I recieved, but very good.
8,3

lonestar - Myrath - Tales of the Sand
Popular band in DTF I assume?  :lol But I do understand. Great intro, I wish it had been longer. I like the oriental percussion present throughout. The chorus in Arabic is a nice twist. I think this song sounds like an album closer, but apparently it isn't, so I'm interested to find out have they made something more suitable for this album. At least it was a great closer to my listening sessions.
8,9

Standings:
MoraWintersoul 19,1
obscure 18,1
? 17,8
lonestar 17,7
WindMaster 17,6
Nekov 17,2
Scorpion 15,5
Lolzeez 15,1

More even round than the previous, even the weakest song was pretty good.

Round 3 - The drummer's day off

Send me a song without percussion. No drum kit, no electronic, nothing.

Deadline May 7th

The band list in OP updated with the band submitted in two first rounds.

I was thinking about having a theme like this for some round in my own roulette! :lol I may still use it though ;)

Anyway, nice to see I'm #3 currently! :tup I'll do some listening and send something tomorrow...

I think I know what to send, still need to double-check it for drums though.

I was going to send you some Piazzolla played by Al di Meola originally but I'm glad my ultimate choice worked for you  :laugh:

I'll have to dig deep in my library to find something without drums

Sorry guys, this round might take some time. I decided to have yesterday rest, because, my school's music theater project has been take my time (three practices and the premiere in five days), my band had one gig and I have been in school also. I want to focus on listening, not to use the submissions as a background music. I can't always find the time for it.

I hope I can get this round done not later than Tuesday.

RESULTS ROUND 3

Well here we are... with a bunch of acoustic guitars and some keyboards. Sorry, I'm a terrible host, but I think the most busy times are now behind. The theater project is in the evenings, I can listen music in afternoon, so there's no problem with that.

WindMaster - Ulver - Eos
Not a song you can whistle. Very ambient. It doesn't have any catchy melodies or clear verse-chorus-verse-pattern. It just is. And sounds damn awesome. Because of it's eclecticness I find it very hard to be scored, but have a high score before I'll change my mind.
9,8

Scorpion - Buckethead - Swomee Swan
The first instrumental so far. Basically a five-minute guitar solo, but the guitar work is overall very tasty and the song has a very strong chillout feel, the intensity rises only in a couple of places.
8,8

Nekov - Anathema - Are You There?
An acoustic remake of their own song. Makes me smile. Very beautiful, I love it when another acoustic guitar enters.
8,9

? - Antimatter - Relapse
The first song with female vox. And the first song to get the full points. Ding-ding-ding! Based on acoustic guitar and keyboards (one pad-like sound, other plays melody), it is very calm and rather sad. I love the keyboard break after the first chorus, and the vocals are brilliant.
10

lonestar - IQ - Wintertell
Light music, dark lyrics. Great melodies overall. Sound quality is a bit rough, but it doesn't take the points down.
9,3

obscure - Pain of Salvation - Road Salt
This was a live version. Very minimalistic, only keyboards and vocals. And it wouldn't have needed anything else. Those vocals are just  :heart.
9,6

MoraWintersoul - Green Carnation - The Burden Is Mine... Alone
Norway FTW! There's some quality music there. Another acoustic guitar based song, maybe not just as enjoyable as the other guitar songs, but very good still.
8,7

Lolzeez - Harmonium - Depuis L'Automne
Canadian prog band, singing in French. Lyrics sound cool, though I don't understand them (I ran them through Google translator though). A few different sections, all of which are cool. And the outro is just awesome.

Si c'est un rêve réveille-moi donc
Ça va être notre tour ça sera pas long
C'est par icitte que ça s'en vient


 :heart

9,5

Damn me and my tendency to give high scores  :lol. Elite's head might explode if he sees this.

Standings:
MoraWintersoul 27,8
? 27,8
obscure 27,7
WindMaster 27,4
lonestar 27
Nekov 26,1
Lolzeez 24,6
Scorpion 24,3

Round 4: Men men men... Women!
Send me something with female vocals.

Deadline 16th May

And one thing of which I have been bitching for some of you individually: please send the submissions to the e-mail address mentioned in the opening post. I don't like it when the subs are scattered around Internet. Thanks!

 :D You sure give high scores a lot  :lol. That song is really beautiful, a smile is a must when you listen to it. You should check more of that band, you'll have tons of smiles.

Regarding this round, purely female vocals or can there be male vocals as well?
