[Elite]

5/21 how did i not win

[Tyrias]

I have only 2 songs there, and I almost won Sacul's last roulette .

[Sacul]

So I shamelessly stole Evermind's Roulette album idea ( ), and decided to compile something similar with the best songs of my v2. But because of the nature of these tracks makes them very different one from each other, I decided to make each disc have its own personality and mood. I present you:

Best of Sacul's Roulette v2

I couldn't separate the CDs according to heaviness or just intensify, for I'd have needed 4 discs for that So I went with a different mindset for each, one is rather joyful, bright, and leaves you with a good sensation after listening to it. The other is definitely appealing to our darker side - it's heavy, epic, angry, depressing, or just plain weird, and it's a tough emotional listen. There were a few 4.5/5 songs I had to leave out because I couldn't fit them at all and included others that grew a bit more on me and seemed more appropriate. This album isn't intended to be listened as a whole nor in one sitting, so I've made YT playlists of them so you can check them easily - if you want the files, PM me.


Disc One: Yellow & Green

1. Kishi Bashi - Philosophize in it! Chemicalize with it!
2. Foals - Inhaler
3. Soundgarden - Superunknown
4. Trioscapes - Blast Off

Took quite some time, but finally figured out the flow - starts rather energic and intense, just to calm down at the beginning of the second half and keep growing and growing, reaching its climax on Comforting Sounds.

1. Anna Von Hausswolff - Discovery
2. Valravn - Krummi
3. Celldweller - Gift For You
4. Euzen - The Stage
5. Queen - Innuendo
6. Glen Hansard - Bird of Sorrow
7. Florence + the Machine - Seven Devils
8. Fire! Orchestra - Enter, Part One
9. Machine Head - A Farewell to Arms
10. The Antlers - Kettering
11. The Angelic Process - Dying in A-Minor


Running Time: 1 hour 17 minutes.

Probably my favorite disc, I'm really proud of how it turned out - it has my two favorite songs of the roulette, and the songs somehow flow into each other very well.



Well, I guess that's all, folks. Hope you find something to like on this double album

[Crow]

too bad that yellow & green is a baroness album
well, two baroness album

anyways saved both playlists

both albums close with an entry i sent so i'm pretty happy about that 

[splent]

Once again 0 entries from me.

I fail.

[Bolsters]

I haven't got a submission on the second disc at all. Quite a few of mine are in the first one though.

Did you ever listen to my bonus track?

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

This is pretty cool, I will check out these play lists.

Also, good to see some of my submissions in there!  ...At least I think they're mine.

[Sacul]

Once again 0 entries from me.

I fail.

I was about to include La Villa Strangiato in the first one, but it's a pretty well-known song around here, so it'd have been a bit pointless

I haven't got a submission on the second disc at all. Quite a few of mine are in the first one though.

Did you ever listen to my bonus track?

Well, I think none of your tracks really qualified for the mood the second disc was aiming for - well, maybe that Naked & Famous song would have, but forgot about it

Yes, but not enough to form a proper opinion on it. Will PM you, guys, when I have a solid point of view on your bonus songs 

[Train of Naught]

Hahaha I have absolutely no clue how I came in 3rd, looking back at this roulette I did pretty terrible/average most of the time, but hey I'll take it, and Lechuga seems to have catched on.

[Sacul]

Yeah Entre 2 Mundos is pretty awesome
