Here you go Batty. Start around 4:30 if you want to avoid the ballad at the start (though you should listen to the lot really...)

[Trollheart]

Okay, finally made time to listen to this, so here are my impressions... admittedly only on a first listen.

Like this, very uptempo and kind of an Animals feel to the keys, though am I wrong or does this sound similar to Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger? No? Just me, then.

3. LoathsomePete: Killing Joke - Inside the Termite Mound

I've heard some little Killing Joke (why does the first link now lead direct to this song and deny permission for download?) but not much. Initially gives me something of a claustrophobic feeling, and the volume seems fairly low? It's got a good melody and the marching drumbeat really suits it. I'm not sure it needs to be nearly eight minutes long though, especially as the last minute is just one long fadeout. I kind of like it though, not sure if it would induce me to listen more KJ or not.

4. Chrysalis: Jesu - Farewell

At first I didn't like this, then I started getting really into the music but then the singing began, and I didn't like that at all. Conclusion: great music, not so great singer. Sorry! At least the last three minutes are almost entirely instrumental, and I like that. I like that a lot.

5. Trollheart: Ken Kiernan and Ger MacDonald - Crom Cruach

Skipping over my own contribution of course and on to...

6. Mondo Bungle: Beats Antique - Dope Crunk

Interesting mix: sitar and sax? To be honest, when it started I thought of "Hey big spender", but that didn't last. Maybe a bit too Indian for my tastes. Not meaning to offend anyone but that sort of music never plays well with me. Sort of Waits-ish feel about halfway through with the bells and the congas but the farty sax gets really annoying and no, unf not for me.

7. Dr. Rez: Benjamin Francis Leftwich - Atlas Hands

I like a bit of laidback acoustic folk, and this puts me in mind of S&G, same sort of dreamy relaxed tone. Like this one a lot. Like the sort of ragged sound in his voice.

8. djchameleon: Fort Minor - Petrified (Doors Remix)

I've made no secret of my dislike of and disinterest in hip hop. This doesn't change my mind. Melody's ok but I'll never be interested in people rapping over music, sorry dj; big thumbs down from this old guy.

9. zer0: Chameleons - Second Skin

This reminds me of those new-wave bands of the mid-eighties like Fiction Factory, OMD and Flock of Seagulls. I must say, I really liked this one. Almost hypnotic rhythm, very catchy. Again though probably a little too long.

10. Blarobbarg: Psalters -Dumpster Divers

Ah, ya gotta love anything with banjo, harmonica and is that jews harp? Catchy, upbeat, fun, but I doubt I'd be too pushed about hearing more.


So that's me. Sorry to those whose music I didn't like, but sure who knows? Next time round I may love your contribution, you may hate mine. Some good stuff on here certainly, but a lot of it just not to my tastes. Ah, sure tis terrible to be an owl fella!

[Powerstars]

Most memorable songs were "Game & Performance," "Inside The Termite Mound," 'Dope Crunk," and "Dumpster Divers."

Hey, I listened to that Welcome Wagon song. It was pretty heavy on the traditional country sounding side of things, but wasn't bad! I'll check em out, thanks for the rec.
