ROUND 9 RESULTSSenecadawg2: No Guitar - M83 feat Susanne Sundfor- OblivionOkay,her voice is fucking gorgeous. The song itself reminds me of a less ambient and a more rocking Boards Of Canada. (Please tell me that's not a dumb sentence
) This was really surprising to hear since I've actually watched the movie but don't remember hearing this song. Ah well,now that I have heard it,I gotta say,this rules.
13.5/15
?: Violin - Alternative 4 - False LightO hai Duncan. This was neat. The violin was quite nicely used and the song had a really nice atmosphere. But like you said it was a little repetitive which kinda bored me but the song was quite enjoyable that I just couldn't keep the score too low.
12.5/15
Ruba: Great Guitar Melodies - Bruce Dickinson - Darkside Of AquariusAnd Bruce Dickinson is back! And all I've gotta say is,this kicks some serious ass. The vocals are absolute kick ass and the guitar solo was bloody awesome. This was a really good rocking track.
13.5/15
Zantera: Song with two vocalists - Ever Forthright - Screen ScenariosI didn't like the vocals. Honestly,they did nothing for me. The jazzy sections were excellent though. The technical guitar work was really nice as well. Honestly,would have been almost perfect if the vocals weren't as "core".
12/15
Scorpion: Weird - Kayo Dot - MarathonNow I have heard this album before once but It just never clicked. I kinda wanna go back to it because this sounded bloody great. It's like a jazzy post metal song. Toby's inclusion is always a plus though. The song if you skim through it,isn't really the most moving song but those 10 minutes flew by REALLY quick. So quick that I was kinda creeped out. This was awesome.
13.5/15
Dr.DTVT: Creepy Children Vocals - Kidz Bop - Oops! I did it again!…
Really?
…
This is really creepy but I just don't think that… Um…
0/15
Nekov: No Percussion - Clive Nolan & Oliver Wakeman - The Burgundy RoseThis is interesting. I remember Oliver Wakeman from some Steve Howe project. But that's about it. His voice is too average though imho. The instrumentation was quite nice and so was that little keyboard solo but just didn't stick with me after like 7 listens. Sorry if I disappointed you.
9/15
Rattlehead: Rattle My Head - Death - 1000 EyesThis was really nice. I've only heard of one Death album and it wasn't this one. Now,I wanna revisit the band so bad. This is just a delicious chocolate cake of riffs. Especially the riff at 1:40 is fucking outstanding. I need some more right now.
14/15
MoraWintersoul: Female Vocals - Tori Amos - Precious ThingsOkay now. This is MUCH better than the song Ruba sent. The song's atmosphere is so dang epic and the singing is just excellent. Dangit Milena…
13.5/15
Jingle.Boy: Dream Theater - Roswell Six - I Am The PointThis sounds an awful lot like Asia and I hate Asia. The synths are a little cheesy but JLB is still there to make me happy. The song is like a mix between Asia and Ayreon. This was okay. It didn't really stand out besides JLB but it was pleasant to hear. Better than the junk Asia put out.
9/15
LieLow: Male AND Female Vocals - Kayo Dot - And He Built Him A BoatNow I haven't gotten Hubardo yet. But from what I've heard from other people,it kicks ass. And now I'm about to make a statement that might piss some of you off. This is better than anything on Choirs Of The Eye. Toby's vocals are amazing and the song has the most beautiful flow. I actually wasn't bored when I was listening to it,unlike anything from Coyote. Now,if you'll excuse me,I'm gonna buy this.
14/15
Elite: Wind - Big Big Train - Judas UnrepentantBBT is probably gonna be huge in couple years. I'd say that they'll become the next Spock's Beard,being a cult classic. The English Electric albums are really nice even though I don't like it as much as…Brief Nocturnes And Dreamless Sleep. This is still one awesome song. Probably my favorite off the first album which I prefer over the second.
14/15
Onno: Open - Levin Minnemann Rudess - ScrodHaven't had a chance to hear this album yet sadly. This is a really cool song though. There is a LTE like groove which is really nice and the video is just quirky and makes me laugh at times. But sadly,I do think that a real guitarist would be great for this band but still,this is a decent effort.

ELITE IT IS!Fuck it. Zantera too.So,looks like there will be 5 finalists: MoraWintersoul,?,Senecadawg2,Elite and Zantera. I'd like to say thank you to all 13 of you for participating. But now,these 5 warriors will take on the finals. I'm gonna eliminate 1 participant per each round. I'm gonna be fast though in order to not cause any slow down on the waiting list. But come on,I've been fairly fast this entire roulette,I should be able to have 4 more rounds!
So,the first round of the finale is gonna be an open round. Just send me anything you want. Just no more Kids Bop or any band that was previously used in the elimination rounds. Now,let's go!
