Oooh, this looks very nice. I'll download it later.

I have to say that I really like this compilation. A couple of intersting finds already!

Downloading... Though not knowing anyone's specific music tastes as of yet, it may prove a little difficult :p:

Just so everyone knows, I submitted a song to this compilation.

Cripes, another load I haven't heard of.

Downloading it now...

whoops, forgot to submit this time around...guess I'll have to wait till then next one. Downloading now!

guesses:
morrissey track is PMO
billy butler is mr. soul himself aka right track

First guess- correct.
2nd- Nope. He didn't contribute.

damn. then i'm guessing Bulldog. if it's not his i'll eat my stovepipe hat and say no more

Yeah it was your brother mate.

Is anyone else having trouble downloading this? It gives me a download time of like five and a half hours and then after a couple minutes it just times out and stops.

Yeah same here. I will try Mediafire although they can be sucky. I would do Rapidshare as I have an account but d/l speeds are sucky for non members. Give me 20 mins.

yes i gave up cause i thought it was my connection on the fritz, was taking hours

Cool. I'm looking forward to giving this one a listen.

Garsh tarnit, I'm always one of the first out :(

Haven't got 'round to giving the comp a spin just yet, but I'm guessing Slightly Stoopid is Jackhammer's?

I thought people would say that!.......wrong! :D It's not mine! MF up on way but that is quite slow too :( but faster then MU.

3 hours without being guessed, not too bad :D

Mediafire link up now.

champ!

Hey, can I make a request for future comps? WMA files are not easily playable for a lot of people (including me) and I think MP3s are a little more universally playable. Would it be possible for people to try and convert their files to MP3s before submitting them to Jackhammer? It's not that big a deal and there was only one song on this comp that I ran into this problem with ("Something Is Squeezing My Skull") but it would just make life easier if they were all in a format that's fully useable for everyone.

Gratsi! Just downloaded it.

I'm on this shizz!

I like this one more than the February one. Mine hasn't been in any of these though :(

I did send you a PM regarding your sent track as it didn't download properly but you didn't reply!

Hot Water Music - Alfred?
I really like the Rico track, but I've no idea who's it is.

Correct for Alfred!

Yeah, that was an obvious one.

Yay! That's the first time I've guessed correctly!

I liked it, it's definitely a keeper. I listen that Bloody Hollies track you submitted for the last comp a lot. I even put it on a mixtape for a friend. :)

That's good to hear. :)




And holy cow, this Rico track is crazy.

My bad then - I think iTunes does that, and I don't get pms anymore. I need to read them from my email for some reason.

I was under the impression that Slightly Stoopid were some second rate ska-Punk band but that track suggest otherwise! I really like it! Could the person responsible please report to Jackhammer with further info. You know who you are!

I guess that Slightly Stoopid is FaSho.

Are we all just guessing and not listening to it? :(

No. I'm listening to it.

1. Love this. Sweet Jazz vibe that reminds me off a rain soaked walk through a neon city.
2. Solid Morrissey and I love the lyrics. I have a feeling that their meaning may be lost on a few.
3. Sounds a little like N.I.N but the strings add another layer. Lyrically solid too.
4. Those Asian vocals and offbeats redefine 'kooky'. I like this a lot. it's unpredictable.
5. Not what I would normally listen to and I just couldn't get into it.
6. I thought this band were a Ska band? not on the evidence of this track. Reminds me of Transglobal Underground. I really like this track.
7. This one is a little too lengthy but love that waca waca guitar!
8. Classic Northern Soul. Pity about the SQ. However that is to be expected.
9. This is cliched but I really liked it. I loved the production on this. The guitars have a great sound.
10. This very nearly drops into cliched pop chart RnB territory but the vocal work keeps me interested throughout. Intrigued for sure.
11. Probably my favourite. I love the melancholic vibe and twisted vocals.
12. This would work better in a film soundtrack- in fact it sounds like it MUST be in one!

Are those observations based on one listen?

No. 3 times for me and 2 of them are mine! I have had to be impartial.

Roll Over Baby - Jackhammer?

Yup!

Its the funk that caught you out ;) :p:
