Guesses for part 1:

The Gutter Twins - Rezz
Lizzy Mercier Descloux - Duga
Chromeo - Antonio?

Part 2:

Jethro Tull is tore...right?
Twinkranes - Jackhammer
M83 is Sidewinder?
The No Smoking Band was NumberNineDream
Envy on the Coast - Dr Suesicide
Gonna guess Zarko was The Sorrows, for no other reason than the non-chalant way he described that song in his own guess post. 0_0 (I liked this song alot.)

Yup, that was mine. Did you guess everyone's own correctly dude? Lol, good job.

don't get mad at me for this post you guy's are the ones who wanted me to explain my dislike towards them

i know it's your opinion about them and i can respect that, but i just want to ask, can you please take a listen to this for a moment?

I think the fact that the flute is so prominent in their music and used as a focal point instead of the usual instruments associated with Prog set's them apart a lot and Ian Anderson is a very unique frontman. He also is quintessentially British regarding his tongue in cheek lyrics and eccentricity. I like the fact that Jethro Tull add Folk flourishes in their music means that they are instantly recognisable which is a huge plus to me.

Sure they have made some dud tracks in their time, but which band hasn't in their time. That's it I'm compiling a tull comp!

Nah, I got 4 right? Some people are easier to guess for than others, and I'd be surprised if the others I picked were correct.

Also, I really didn't mind the Jethro Tull. I don't think I'd ever heard their music before, but that wasn't bad.

Downloaded this, will give it a go tomorrow. Looking forward to it, seems like a very eclectic mix.

nope...though i think my taste in music is so eclectic that it would be hard to pin me down for these. that is something i would listen to, honestly.

and i don't think i still have a clear enough picture of everyone else's taste to really give it a good guess.

great comp, though.

Listened to Part I so far, some brief thoughts. Standouts in red.

Rural Alberta Advantage-Pretty meh, I almost downloaded this album awhile back and never did, I'd kind of be curious to hear the whole thing now but by itself this was just okay.
Jazzstepper-Like others have said this is a pretty chill track. Could easily be one to slip on late at night. Don't listen to much stuff like this.
$.99 Dreams-One of the early standouts from the first half. Loved the sax. Loved pretty much everything.
Foxy Shazam-What the fuck?
Big Big Train-Not really my thing, but some pretty nice guitar work on this track.
Cocteau Twins-Mmmmmmmmmmmm. Yummy. Need more of this.
Gutter Twins-Songs like these are why I love these comps. Another standout.
Chromeo-Pretty interesting listen, but probably would never listen again haha.
Lizzy Mercier Descloux-Wasn't able to get into this one. Sorry.
Two Lone Swordsmen-Wasn't too bad. Once again I'm not sure how often I'd listen to it, but it was definitely interesting.

Part II:

M83-Nice blend of post-rock/shoegaze. Would definitely listen again.
The Sorrows-Not my thing. Sorry.
Thinking Fellers Union Local 282-Not too bad, actually. Nice and mellow.
Luniz-Pretty meh. I don't listen to much rap and this isn't good enough to merit checking out further.
Envy On The Coast-Didn't enjoy this one much either. Reminded me of Coheed & Cambria but with more of a pop-punk edge.
Twinkranes-Actually a pretty tight electronic track. Thought it got better as it went along.
Nathan Haines-Also enjoyed this one. Nice groove with the jazz instruments in the background, and I dug the vocals. Good song all-around.
Jethro Tull-I've never listened to Tull before, so I guess I'm kind of neutral. I liked it, the flute was definitely unique. Might download the beginner's comp that jackhammer posted if I remember.
Stone Birds-Again not a bad track, I haven't heard the original so it's kind of hard to judge the cover. Vocals stood out on this one.
The No Smoking Band-This was NumberNine's, right? Definitely a great way to end the comp, I can't honestly say how often I would listen to this but it was a very interesting and enjoyable 4 minutes to say the least. Cheers:beer:

The person who guessed Jazzsteppa as mine, good job!

Spot on, 'n sh*t! :D

gotjuice 02-11-2010 04:13 PM

Pretty sure $.99 Dreams is Zarko...and if he has a link to the rest of that EP, it'd be amazing.

Damn LastFM :p: :D

Will get a link up later on tonight after work.

gotjuice 02-11-2010 08:51 PM

Ha yeah, I try not to look at people's Last.FMs for this thing but I wound up on the artist page looking for the album info and recognized your avatar.

Stone Birds 02-15-2010 02:15 PM

Ballad of RAA is +81

NSW 02-20-2010 07:10 PM

Chromeo has got to be Antonio's pick.

Correct. There should be one up for March if this all gets guessed.

khfreek 02-22-2010 08:14 PM

Surprised I haven't been guessed yet...

I don't think the list of contributors and correctly guessed tracks is updated...that might help so people don't have to skim the thread every time. ;)
