I've heard of Afro Celt whatever (as sacul/parama music), and I recognized those two words of the band name a few days ago, but couldn't be bothered to re-remember what the rest of it is.

Oh, and just so we're clear... I use the 'sacul/parama' moniker in complete jest and fun - no harm or insult intended in any way at all.

Not sure any of those comments are mine, but 'exactly what I would expect from you' could be if you expected me to cheat.

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".

Wasn't it originally 'Sacul/Zantera music'. 'Parama music' is something else :lol

I'd like to know what's 'Tomislav music'. Possibly something too awesome to explain :P Or in roulettes: good, but nothing special

Paramacore is a little different from Zantera / Sacul music. There's some definite overlap, but Paramacore is more about weird metal and hardcore stuff, while Zantera / Sacul music is like weird music from all sorts of different genres, but especially electronic stuff.

Zacul / Santera music is a bit more of the electronic and ambient stuff yea, don't forget the avant-garde stuff, always good to have some music that is not definable by genre. Paramacore includes more of that black metal, hardcore and slugde metal sound.

Since apparently I started that all with "Zantera / Sacul music" thing, I expect royalties here. A few copies of Quiet World will do.

I don't have my headphones with me  :facepalm: but was able to just have a skim of the songs before I do one more listen tonight. I'm working on writeups and will have them up sometime tomorrow. Keep an eye out in the OP for spotify playlists... if so desired for non-spotify users (Evermind?) I'll also create a public google doc with a list of the playlists on there if you so desire.

I actually wanted them Quiet World copies just so I could leave one of them to listen to when I'm bored, and send a video of how I throw the rest of them into the fire to ToN.

And splent, if I'm the only one non-spotify user, don't bother, I'm not going to find every single song in the playlist on YouTube and then play it. I've got a lot in my plate listening-wise anyway.

You can't hurt my feelings, I'm in my quiet world now. Actually one song off Quiet World is on my list for this roulette but I'm not 100% sure yet if I should send it. Also depends whether I even have room for it with all the themes and bonuses

Yea, don't bother. I usually just check best rated songs and/or some I might like after reading writeups.

I'm aiming for 4. Trust me, some of the songs need more listens. But there are a few I'm already confident in my preliminary scores.

Some more tidbits.

I'll post tomorrow. For sure. Got another listen done today, and will listen on the way to work tomorrow for any last changes. I have to double check my scores and polish up my writeups. There isn't anything that any of you sent me that I didn't enjoy though. You guys sent some good shit.


it’s repetitive and yet it isn’t, but the change is so subtle that it’s almost hard to tell.

The beginning almost sounds 80s in it’s chord progressions and sounds and evolves to this powerful climax.

Mysterious vocals are the clincher for me.

The calm laid back sound sometimes can be overplayed in today's music, but it works very effectively here.

I really don’t have anything critical to say about it except that [the song] doesn’t really go anywhere.

...makes me wish I sent you something different in your roulette.


I don't remember the songs my tidbits were for in the first post so some of these could be for the same songs :lol
