so are we just telling what we submitted if no one guessed?
:shycouch:
well I submitted the Devin Townsend track.

I'll put down a review of the tracks pretty soon.
 
okay there's only a few people i know who listen to Zooey Deschanel, and none of them are on this forum, so i really want to know who submitted this (She & Him).
 
Well guessed - I must remeraber to rein things in a bit next time :D

1. Eight Frozen Modules-Echo Youth
Very impressive this, though it's a little less lively than a lot of the electronica I like to listen to.

2. The Pop Group-She Is Beyond Good And Evil
Absolute classic post-punk this.

3. KMFDM-WWWIII
Not really very keen on this one. It just doesn't go anywhere very interesting for me. I do like a few of their other songs though.

4. The Brogues-I Aint No Miracle Worker
Insanely catchy bassline, just a fairly lively all-round good song. Another bunch of guys I've never heard of 'til now.

5. Devin Townsend-Coast
Another one of the better submissions this. I love the way that almost robotic rhythm holRAB it all up.

6. She & Him-Why Don't You Let Me Stay Here?
No offense to whoever submitted this, but I hated this one.

7. Sisters Of Mercy-Lucretia My Reflection
Never been a huge fan, but I liked this song. I liked that very Peter Hook kind of bassline - that and the echo on the percussion do his track a whole world of good.

8. Frost-Snowman
Interesting how this is tagged as prog-pop - a label the song does well to live up to. Good hook with the keyboarRAB here with the rest of it coming off as a kind of jigsaw puzzle of a song (and a very entertaining jigsaw puzzle at that).

9. Los Lobos-Our Night
Best song of all time? Quite possibly. Whoever submitted this must be some sort of genius ;) :D

10.El Ten Eleven-Thinking Lonely
A post-rock track has to be very special post-rock track to earn a place in my good books. Unfortunately this kinda falls short for me. There's a nice rhythm to it, but not an awful lot else I'm afraid.

11.Dead Can Dance-Black Sun
A band I've been meaning to get into for quite some time (an ex made me a CD comp many moons ago). Great song, and cheers to whoever submitted it for the reminder!

12.Ali Farka Toure-Ai Du
I'm a massive Ali Farka Toure fan - great stuff from the king of desert blues.

13.Bandits Of The Acoustic Revolution-Here's To Life
Judging by the band name, I wasn't really expecting this one. Good song though with a nice, punchy brass figure.

14.Buffalo Killers-Let It Ride
I loved the riff and the vocals worked well with it - good hard-rocking stuff here.

15.Gong-The Isle Of Everywhere
I'm not a fan of a lot of prog, but as with everything there are exceptions. I did enjoy this one though.

16.Gotye-Out Of My Mind
Interesting kind of dub/dancehall/trip-hop crossover here. I dug it.

Some very good songs, but a bit of a mixed bag on the whole.

A few guesses;

Dead Can Dance - Zarko
Bandits Of the Acoustic Revolution - LoathsomePete
Sisters Of Mercy - Zero1986

Can't really think of anyone else.
 
To Jackhammer: Bulldog successfully guessed mine a few pages back, it was Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution, just so people stop including me in their guesses.


I'm still curious as to who contributed the Devin Townsend track! Besides myself, Antonio, and what's his face, I don't know anyone on the rab that listens to him.

I try to hold out on reviews to not make my selection obvious (either by saying I love it or by omitting it)...but there was just no activity in here so whatever.
