I'll ask Jonny or Kevin if I can post the sound cloud link of the 2 tunes here. Not my call but I'll let you know.

Don't do that bro, you want to keep them as friends.

That's what I said. I will ask them. I would never do that unless they say its ok.

Re: Elegy - I've got all four Parry-era albums.  A bit hit and miss for me.  I don't know that I've ever heard the first three.


You really should!! Give the debut, Labyrinth of Dreams, a shot. An absolute gem of progressive/power metal

Re: Eumeria (ninja'd) - I think they're in recording mode at the moment.

First 3 Elegy albums are like TNT on shred. Excellent!!!!

I think he meant that of you post it and the band members check the comments, they may be offended. Lots of critics around here.
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

It's turning into now an 8 hour long guitar solo in E minor!  So, it'll be a while.  :biggrin:

Gotta be #5. 
Gotta be.


Round 2 first impressions

1. This is a very pleasant surprise - unexpectedly delicate, warm and emotive.

2. Modern music with very classic stylings and some cool vibes - I like it but I don't know if I love it.

3. Pretty different to anything else you’ve ever sent me but still hitting a lot of the right notes - quite thoughtful, grand and harmonically rich.

24. This may not have blown me away, but it was a very pleasant and pretty uplifting listen - simple but effective.

How about these?
Yep, number 3.


somewhere in this set? 3 or 6 seem the most correct especially
I wouldn't have given it to you for the full set as that was way too many :lol But seeing as you narrowed it down, yes, it's 6.


11 or 1?

1. This is a very pleasant surprise - unexpectedly delicate, warm and emotive.

Hoping for this one?
3?
23?
11. This is some nice elegant prog, if a little more traditional that I might have expected and possibly lacking a clear focal point.

20. Reminds me of a couple of other bands I like, if maybe with a little less of the features that most attract me to each of those.

One of these?
No to all of these!

Ariich is a freak, or somehow has more hours in the day than everyone else.

And seeing as this turned into the chat thread while I was in bed, here are the impressions again:

Round 2 first impressions

1. This is a very pleasant surprise - unexpectedly delicate, warm and emotive.

2. Modern music with very classic stylings and some cool vibes - I like it but I don't know if I love it.

[TAC – Lumsk] 3. Pretty different to anything else you’ve ever sent me but still hitting a lot of the right notes - quite thoughtful, grand and harmonically rich.

[luke – King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard] 4. Jazzier than I was expecting, which is a cool twist, although in other regards this is pretty much what I was expecting.

[Litho – Phil Keaggy] 5. Might be slightly noodley and narrow to be the sort of thing I’d want to listen to regularly, but it’s full of great playing and lovely music.

[Crow – Gang of Youths] 6. Nice upbeat indie that seems to avoid getting too sappy with interesting instrumentation and warm vocals.

[faizoff – Nine Inch Nails] 7. A little different to what I might have expected; a cool selection of songs that are moodier than most this round but with a nice groove to them.

[HOF – The Pearlfishers] 8. There’s a nice mix of organic sounds and synthesisers, with some great moments, although my enjoyment at each point depended quite a lot on the strength of the vocals.

9. This is rather different to what I was expecting based on your description and what I know of the artist - I suspect these warm mellow vibes are more my thing.

[lonestar – Band-Maid] 10. Some nice hooks here, though I feel a lot more could have been done with the arrangements.

11. This is some nice elegant prog, if a little more traditional that I might have expected and possibly lacking a clear focal point.

[jingle – Rik Emmett] 12. Not sure I was expecting anything quite this cheesy, but you know what, it’s not unpleasant.

13. Trippy, experimental and gorgeously soulful - what’s not to love?

[Evermind – The Wishing Tree] 14. Very pretty and peaceful - not much stood out, but I’m not sure it needs to.

[soupy – Lana Del Rey] 15. I enjoyed these songs but they didn’t all jump out and grab me - as pop goes it feels quite subtle so I’m interested to see what happens with further listens.

16. Always found this singer quite bland, but the music here seems pretty engaging and more tasteful than other stuff I’ve heard him in.

17. Not convinced by all the vocals, but definitely feeling the music, the downtempo vibe and the creative use of different sounds and styles.

[Luoto – Rioghan] 18. Taking advantage of the theme’s caveat to send something surprisingly punchy and dramatic, although it was some of the lighter moments that I found most compelling.

[nick_z – Meer] 19. This ranges from really rather lovely to quite dramatic, all of it very engaging and elegantly produced.

20. Reminds me of a couple of other bands I like, if maybe with a little less of the features that most attract me to each of those.

21. The music is rich and gorgeous at times, though I think - and I rarely feel this way - that I might have liked some of it more without the vocals.

[Elite – Chano Dominguez] 22. Not a style I listen to much, but this is full of nice vibes and classy playing.

23. The broad style isn’t especially unique, but it’s done really well - great sound and lovely production with a mix of influences thrown in.

[King – The Avett Brothers] 24. This may not have blown me away, but it was a very pleasant and pretty uplifting listen - simple but effective.

Clearly your fault for already listening to all the heavy music that you actually like. :neverusethis:

14 indeed!

14?
No to both of these.

Yep, all good - I'm not really paying attention to early submissions for future rounds until I reach that round but I'll reply when we get there.

If anyone is submitting early and wants me to check the submission at that point (for example, if you're going away and won't be around to re-submit if there are any issues), just let me know. :)

[Litho – Phil Keaggy] 5. Might be slightly noodley and narrow to be the sort of thing I’d want to listen to regularly, but it’s full of great playing and lovely music.

Hopefully it'll grow on you.  Some of it probably is a bit noodly (one of the albums even has Sketches in the title of course, and two pieces are basically interludes/ideas), but in general I find him to be more melodically-minded than some guys doing similar things, and some of it to me adds flair and interest in the absence of vocals or a band accompaniment, it would be too dry and plain otherwise.
