ariich’s fogey roulette (v7) – FINAL RESULTS

[King Postwhore]

Rich?  This one?

Very cool, very laid back, pretty nice stuff.
Simple, but elegantly sincere and rather lovely.

[Crow]

pretty sure mine is

Simple, but elegantly sincere and rather lovely.

make of this what you will

[wolfking]

By the way, here are:

Round 1 first impressions
This sounds like the sort of thing you’d send me in a normal roulette, and that’s no bad thing.

Maybe this one for me.

[King Postwhore]

Rich?  This one?

Very cool, very laid back, pretty nice stuff.
Simple, but elegantly sincere and rather lovely.


Or this one?

Warmth, good melodies and a slight quirkiness that’s up my alley - strong start.

[HOF]

Pretty sure this is mine:

I’m digging the production and the rich sound, but it’s a little… unexciting maybe?

[lonestar]

Cheesy and theatrical definitely describes Chad's submission.


Incredible tunes also describes it.

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

[Nekov]

More upbeat than I was expecting - pleasant but a bit of a mixed bag.
Didn’t blow me away but has a really cool fusion of styles that I very much enjoyed.
This sounds like the sort of thing you’d send me in a normal roulette, and that’s no bad thing.
A couple of weaker songs melodically, but a nice energy and groove and there’s some great stuff in here.

I think I can narrow it down to these 4.

[jingle.boy]

Thinking (hoping) mine could be one of the following:

Rather cheesy and rather theatrical and rather great – I’m liking this more than I thought I might.

Yes indeed!

haha "theatrical" is rather ironic!  I'll out myself by saying this is the perfect adjective for DDY

[TAC]

Did you send Styx? I should have known.
Rhymes with dicks.

[jingle.boy]

Did you send Styx? I should have known.
Rhymes with dicks.

And Moore rhyme with poor. 

[King Postwhore]

Empty Rooms Inside.....

[TAC]

WTF is that? Hardee har har?

[wolfking]

Which version of Empty Rooms Tim?  Guessing We Want Moore?

[TAC]

Which version of Empty Rooms Tim?  Guessing We Want Moore?

Yes! My original playlist had the studio version, plus Wild Frontier, but it was 25:14 or something like that, so I deleted Wild Frontier and went with the live version, and was still under 25m.

It's a shame the Stockholm version was never officially released on CD but the We Want Moore version is the next best thing.

Hmmm....a shame Wild Frontier has to be cut, that's a fav of mine from Gary.

Yes to all of these, although Diego do you want to narrow yours down a bit further?

Not quite actually, but yours is pretty similar to that one.

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

I'm going to out myself here, but I have to ask. Do some people really hate Exciter that much? I love that song. However, I almost put The Ripper in its place. I'm curious how Ariich would have liked that song...

[Kwyjibo]

This slaps! One of these could end up being the best song of the round.

This one isn't claimed yet and I'm pretty sure it isn't mine. But the connection (if intentional) to the most prominent instrument in my songs is there, so maybe?

[Crow]

that was a fast hangman lol
are results already almost ready? i incredibly am not ready to send more stuff atm so 

[wolfking]

Something is telling me Puppies sent JP.

I don't even think about the next round until after results usually.

Glad to see others are flying by the seat of their pants 

[Elite]

Very cool, very laid back, pretty nice stuff.

More upbeat than I was expecting - pleasant but a bit of a mixed bag.
Great vibe, love the sound, but musically it’s not doing anything for me on first listen.
A couple of weaker songs melodically, but a nice energy and groove and there’s some great stuff in here.
This isn’t a style I normally go for as evidenced by an almost complete lack of it in my RYM, but this was actually quite cool.

I'm thinking it's the first one, but the other four are optional as well. It is pretty upbeat, so that's a possibility, and of course it's a mixed bag; it's songs from over his career, with him on trumpet AND on lead vocals. I could understand that it wouldn't be doing anything for you musically, even though you'd enjoy the sound of it, but I hope it's not the 'weak melodically' comment, that would be a small insult to his beautiful phrasing. It could even be your last one; you barely have any vocal jazz, but that might be a stretch.

[Nekov]

I think I can narrow it down to these 4.

Yes to all of these, although Diego do you want to narrow yours down a bit further?

How about now?

You were right with your first guess!

Nope. It was "Didn’t blow me away but has a really cool fusion of styles that I very much enjoyed."

Probably not far off, I'd guess sometime tomorrow. I managed to get into a good rhythm with Friday results in my last roulette so will see if I can manage the same again, although that may depend on how busy I am at work.

[Stadler]

I thought your list was very solid, though I'm not the hugest Exciter or Dissident Aggressor fan.  I might have dropped both and put in Sinner, but that's me.  I'm also a fan of Point of Entry, so maybe I'm not the best judge!

By the way, here are:

Round 1 first impressions

More upbeat than I was expecting - pleasant but a bit of a mixed bag.
This rocks! One of these really taps into a style I’ve been digging recently.
Entertaining enough and a fun energy, but I was hoping for stronger hooks.
I’m digging the production and the rich sound, but it’s a little… unexciting maybe?
Great vibe, love the sound, but musically it’s not doing anything for me on first listen.
This sounds like the sort of thing you’d send me in a normal roulette, and that’s no bad thing.
A couple of weaker songs melodically, but a nice energy and groove and there’s some great stuff in here.
Cool change of pace - pretty sure I’ve never heard this band before and yet I’m familiar with half the songs.
This isn’t a style I normally go for as evidenced by an almost complete lack of it in my RYM, but this was actually quite cool.

Not much good left to choose from. Hoping for the last one, but it seems I've stumbled out of the gate..

I can confirm that it is one of these. Some further narrowing down is needed.

[TAC]

I can confirm it too, because I removed every other impression that was already spoken for.

Welp, I guess that's good enough?

[TAC]

I have eliminated the ones that I am pretty sure do not apply.


Relatively Positive...
