Guessed letters: BATMAN Q. PRICE

[Crow]

12. Gets more emotional and impactful with each song.

I sure hope this is mine because if so, I agree

[Indiscipline]

My Feet or 21, no middle ground.

[Luoto]

Did TAC send Whispered? Or Shadow?

Hold the Sword
Sakura Omen

[LordCost]

6. Full of great hooks.
7. Has a big cinematic vibe I'm enjoying.
8. Exactly as charming as I was expecting.
9. Very cool combination of groovy and moody.
10. Enjoyably proggy and wonderfully theatrical.
11. Some great stuff but also a lot of meandering.
12. Gets more emotional and impactful with each song.
13. I hoped for something excellent, and I think I got it.
14. Not sure I'm sold on the music, but I'm digging the sound.

I guess mine is 8,13 or 20

[ariich]

Did TAC send Whispered? Or Shadow?

Hold the Sword
Sakura Omen

Neither sent it, but otherwise all correct.

As for impressions, Alex and LoCo are right, Cyril is not (although I can see how it applies).

[Elite]

17 or 20?

[Nekov]

14, 15 or 19 probably

[wolfking]

Damn, Whispered are amazing, great choice whoever sent them.

[jingle.boy]

That last Pyramaze song is Ghost Light

Really no idea which could be Daydream XI, but I'm pretty sure I can eliminate a few:

1. My feet!
3. My cheeks!
8. Exactly as charming as I was expecting.
9. Very cool combination of groovy and moody.
10. Enjoyably proggy and wonderfully theatrical.
13. I hoped for something excellent, and I think I got it.
15. Not sure about the production but very intrigued by the music.
16. I can't work out if this happy or angry but I quite like the result.
17. Dark and heavy, it sounds pretty good but will take more listens.
19. I don't see this becoming a favourite or anything, but it's got a great vibe to it.
21. One of these tracks has a fantastic groove to it, the others I'm not sure about yet.
22. Not sure this is as strong as some stuff you've sent me in this genre, but it has some really nice moments.

ok... seems I believe I can knock out 1/2 of 'em

I'll bet 12 is Katt / Randy
I'll also bet 4 and 5 are Tom Waits.

[TAC]

9. Very cool combination of groovy and moody.

17. Dark and heavy, it sounds pretty good but will take more listens.

19. I don't see this becoming a favourite or anything, but it's got a great vibe to it.

[The Walrus]

I am nervous and, to quote Randy, bleeding all over the place

[ariich]

17 or 20?

No.

14, 15 or 19 probably

Yes.

...no.

I'll bet 12 is Katt / Randy

Also no.

I'll also bet 4 and 5 are Tom Waits.

Yes.

9. Very cool combination of groovy and moody.
17. Dark and heavy, it sounds pretty good but will take more listens.
19. I don't see this becoming a favourite or anything, but it's got a great vibe to it.

??

Yes.

[Nekov]

14, 15 or 19 probably

Yes.

Hopefully 15?

[TAC]

9. Very cool combination of groovy and moody.
17. Dark and heavy, it sounds pretty good but will take more listens.
19. I don't see this becoming a favourite or anything, but it's got a great vibe to it.

Round 2 first impressions
6. Full of great hooks.
7. Has a big cinematic vibe I'm enjoying.
8. Exactly as charming as I was expecting.
18. Sufficiently over-the-top to be highly enjoyable but not so much as to be silly.
19. I don't see this becoming a favourite or anything, but it's got a great vibe to it.
20. Dramatic, nicely done – all the elements are there but it's not hooked me in yet.

So I think Randy could be any of these. Hoping it's not 19 or 20, but I'm leaning towards 18 because of all the satire. It's certainly over the top, but not silly, so I'm going with that

[King Postwhore]

6?

[Stadler]

1. My feet!
2. My neck!
3. My cheeks!
4. I don't get it.

22. Not sure this is as strong as some stuff you've sent me in this genre, but it has some really nice moments.

Hmmm.  Could be a couple of these, though some require some real optimism on my part.     I starred the four top ones.
