All right, we're getting this over with quickly. Had a quick debate and here we go.

Congratulations...

Ruba
Manic Street Preachers - Ready For Drowning

I like the vibe. I dig the cool effects on the guitar later on, gives me a Pink Floyd vibe. It's a nice little rocker, but I'm not really drawn to it after listening to it a few times, although it makes me think of Porcupine Tree a little.

TAC
Art of Illusion - Thrown into the Fog

Sure likes to take its time getting started

Really cool instrumental. My favorite part is when the piano comes in later on. Up to that point it's just all right, from that point on it's awesome. Love that kind of piano spotlight and the way he plays. Really cool track.

Sacul
Floex & Tom Hodge - Prelude I

Just the right tempo, just the right amount of activity, the vibe here is sick. The back half is tremendous. I love how warm and vibrant this one is. It's engaging, which I appreciate.

Sacul!

Ruba, thanks for playing. Better luck next time, my friend. Tori Amos - Spark was my favorite tune you sent, thanks for showing me that, and I'll take your Depeche Mode recommendations to heart.

TAC, sorry brudda, you gotta go. Thanks for playing. That Narrow Gate song was sick and that Gary Moore song rules. Good luck next time!

Everyone else, send for round 4.

TAC... listening to the Gary Moore best of now... why the hell didn't you send me Run For Cover?! This song kicks ass!

Hell yeah

. That's a very neat collab they did with an orchestra, hope you dig it.

Time to kick ass.

Now what to send? Extinction blues? Get 'em out by friday? Das Boot?

which incidentally is a really cool moody electronic piece.

Sent some 80s band instead as I'm a child of the 80s?

Kwyj... when are you hosting your own roulette?

Kwyjibo · « **Reply #603 on:** October 13, 2019, 01:51:04 PM »

I would very much like to, but atm I just don't have the time. The time I can spent listening to music is very limited, so every round would last probably a month. So including holidays would mean a year before it's finished. No-one would like to pay attention for that long.

Crow · « **Reply #604 on:** October 13, 2019, 01:55:36 PM »

run a mini-roulette. 5 rounds, 5 participants, bang it out in a month

ariich · « **Reply #605 on:** October 13, 2019, 02:16:04 PM »

Sent!

The Walrus · « **Reply #606 on:** October 13, 2019, 02:33:52 PM »

I apologize for this but this roulette is over.

I just found out that my little sister died in a car crash last night. I can't remember the last thing I said to her. I can't even see straight.

I'm out... this one's over. Sorry guys. I'll listen to whatever was sent to me in time but... yeah

Crow · « **Reply #607 on:** October 13, 2019, 02:37:16 PM »

sorry for your loss, man...

TAC · « **Reply #608 on:** October 13, 2019, 02:39:42 PM »

Oh shit, man.

Thoughts and prayers to you and your family Michael.

God that's awful Mike, so sorry for your loss. You have nothing at all to apologise for. Can't imagine what you're going through, but thoughts are with you and your family.

This.... Jesus dude, I can't even imagine.

Ruba · « **Reply #612 on:** October 13, 2019, 03:38:29 PM »

I am terribly sorry for your loss, Katt.

King Puppies and the Acid Guppies · « **Reply #613 on:** October 13, 2019, 03:40:59 PM »

Wow, I am so sorry for your loss. I always find myself at a loss for words in situations like this, but my thoughts are with you.

romdrums · « **Reply #614 on:** October 13, 2019, 06:12:00 PM »

Really sorry to hear that, Katt. I can’t even begin to imagine what you’re going through right now. My thoughts are with you.

ProfessorPeart · « **Reply #615 on:** October 13, 2019, 08:34:50 PM »

Wow, thinking about you man. Absolutely terrible.

Buddyhunter1 · « **Reply #616 on:** October 13, 2019, 09:28:51 PM »

My condolences, that's horrible.

Just as a warning, I'd actually recommend NOT listening to the song I sent you - the lyrical content probably wouldn't sit too well with you after what happened.

Sacul · « **Reply #617 on:** October 13, 2019, 10:03:16 PM »

Damn, I'm sorry, my thoughts are with you.

Kwyjibo · « **Reply #618 on:** October 13, 2019, 11:52:22 PM »

Oh man, sorry for your loss. May you have the strength to get you through this.

Elite · « **Reply #619 on:** October 14, 2019, 01:18:36 AM »

Absolutely no need to apologise.
I honestly don't know what to say. I hope you'll find the strength to go through this. My heartfelt condolences to your and your family.

The Walrus · « **Reply #620 on:** October 14, 2019, 03:10:14 PM »

Thanks for the thoughts and kind words everybody

Finding it extremely difficult to listen to any music at all but I was shown this poem and can't stop the tears, but you know, one step at a time and all that

TAC · « **Reply #621 on:** October 14, 2019, 03:16:53 PM »

Yeah Mike, I can't imagine what your parents are going through.

I'm trying so hard not to let my mind go there.

The Walrus · « **Reply #623 on:** December 06, 2019, 12:19:37 PM »

Hey, so... update. First, jingle is sending me the concept album he apparently already worked out for this roulette, so I'm going to listen to it and post my thoughts, but no score of course.

Second, this roulette is done and won't get restarted - I figure the next time I run a roulette, I'll just run a new one entirely.

Third, a commentary on the sheer amount of killer music sent in just 3 rounds. I keep playlists of every round in all my roulettes, and still have the albums saved from my first roulette. Gunship and VOLA are my two favorite artists sent, thanks to Cyril and Tomislav (and I think Buddyhunter and also Elite who sent VOLA in my 2nd roulette as well as this one). Cyril also sent the killer Foxy Shazam song, and although the album is hit or miss, that song is still one of my favorites. Stadler sent Jelly Roll by Blue Murder and that song still kicks ass. Bon Iver, Major Parkinson, Ihlo, The Comet Is Coming, Gary Moore, Michael Camilo, Lettuce, Los Lobotomys, Tori Amos, Acoustic Alchemy (who I've already heard 2 full albums by, simply phenomenal music that I can't get enough of), even Taylor Swift - SO MANY great songs, I have an exhausting, lengthy list of artists to dive into.

So I don't know when I'll run my next roulette, but it won't be with the intention of finding new artists to listen to, that's for sure. If anything, it's more likely to be one simply for the fun of it, because I'd like to run an all-EP roulette like TAC just did. Might not ever go back to the songs, but I'd love to see people's creativity.

Thanks to everyone for participating and sorry for cutting it short especially for Big Hath who apparently joined this after not playing in roulettes for a while. Sorry dude, but (I believe) you sent Acoustic Alchemy, and you knocked that one out of the park.

That's fair Katt, I'm sure the next one will be a blast as well, and hope I can defend the crown I almost lost here

Oh also... The Comet Is Coming. The song "Super Zodiac" - checking out that album and it is just phenomenal. I am so impressed with this music. romdrums I think? Man, great stuff... thanks for this.

News: DreamTheaterForums is a place for people who just don't have the time for music anymore.
