I've got nothing to do today so I will have a little look later on.

drink flounce rinse repeat
Right then. *takes deep breath*
Full and impartial review of all tunes as per usual... knowing how much effort it takes to get something done and upped online
Danilonglegs/rutabowa : My Friend Todd
Recorded into a broken mobile phone, true revolutionary sex terrorism combined with bluesy guitar riffs and a torn up copy of Rolling Stone magazine, these guys will go places if they sober up.
Boing - Down to the river
This is really lush, the beats are a bit clean for my twisted tastes, a bit of dubbed out echo malarkey on the snares the way the vocal samples were done would have made it irresistable - but fuck it, it's truly gorgeous.
Chazegee - Douse The Fire With Petrol
This for some reason reminds me of Hey Ya, the beats and the relentless lyrical onslaught, slightly dodgy "pisshole to your asshole" stuff didn't sit well with me, but the bit about wearing womens underwear and not caring worked
I like the bit where it all goes reverse with the Cure-esque piano.
Fatter Faction/Dirtysanta : LOUD! -/- Bahnoff Strasser
Never to disappoint, Fatterfaction do it properly with their trademark oi oi London sound in the great traditions of those such as Big Audio Dynamite, mixed with a good old stomp and a healthy selection of samples, produced to hit hard and obviously some serious effort has been made here to slide the sounds into the lyrical delivery.
If Caine's character Alfie were pissed up on Special Brew and playing with a sampler it would sound like this. I like it, and I turned it up a bit louder.
Kid hideous/ninjaboy : Pirates
Never a problem when Cutty Ranks breaks out, the bass kicks are brutal if a little distorted but I have a feeling that's all part of the masterplan.
The D&B is programmed pretty well, though it's utterly fucked up in the mix, again, part of the plan I'm sure.
This is clearly a homage to The Stopper, not sure it needed the wah wah guitar bits, but there's still some life in the old dog yet, even chopped to fuck like this - the funky Asian break toward the end is a bit tasty too...
MC5 : The Sun it Shines (This came up as 'Audiotech' on the zip file for some reason, dunno why)
Nicely produced - everything in it's proper place within the mix, deffo some new age Joy Division going on, but the guitars are nice, a little bit repetitive but there's nothing wrong with that, sounds good.
The Aids/ATOMIC SUPLEX : Cowboy Stu
Nutty as fuck. Cowboys from 1985.
It's a melange of stuff, reminds me a bit of The The, the vocal production is sublime though, very professional finish.
Chooch : Z is for...
Ah, this is more my area, chopping up static and seeing what happens.
Clear Aphex influences going on, but only as a point of reference, it's nicely dark and the hollow vocal backdrop you can barely hear works for me.
Nice.
Fruitloop : Sputnik
Russian space fuckers on speed, it's all good, though a bit fast and not enough sub bass going on - oh, hang on, maybe there is after a minute or so...
This is clearly the product of a mad scientist, those breaks didn't chop themselves up like that, so that's nice to hear.
I get the feeling the samples were clipped before playing themselves out - on a personal taste level I'd have increased the envelope of each sampled beat to let the sounds snap out naturally, but it's a promising taster of further stuff... I guess I'm getting a bit old for things that run that fast...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SO voting as follows from me:
1/ Boing - Down To The River
Chose a really nice tune to deconstruct, and you can almost hear the water trickling by in the background, it's a great job.
2/ Chazegee - Douse The Fire With Petrol
This one sticks in my head, sort of reminds me of Parliament and George Clinton now, but at twice the speed. Don't like the lyrics much, but that means fuck all, it's a great tune.
3/ MC5 : The Sun it Shines
I used to love Joy Division, and the brightness in this recording reminds me of that, staggering around Soho with a big fuck off smile on my face, so it narrowly beat Fruitloop's "Sputnik" tune to hit number three for me.
Top works and "props" to all who entered, some really nice stuff, funny to hear it all in one lump on an MP3 player, reminds me of just how fucking twisted some of you cunts are...

No, I don't, it's just my "thing".
Well done Ninjaboy for sorting all this BTW.
I propose a simpler method next time though...
First ten songs (or less) to make the deadline go up for a proper vote, using the voting mechanism, I think people are too lazy to actually type shit, so a multiple choice vote, publically viewable so people can't vote for their own tunes, would work better.
Just an idea...
top work on the reviews pk. agree about the mix, I always get carried away with distortion.....
also like the voting idea, i did think that a poll would be too easy to vote on with out listening to everyone etc, but anything would be better than the current 5 votes per competition we seem to average....

I reckon it would speed up the whole process - a deadline that means something!!, and no more than 10 entries at a time (max number of votes) so people could cast a quick public vote, any three they choose in no particular order, and this would make the results easier to work out.

Whens the cut off for voting? I'll have a listen tonight and vote then if thats ok.
Boing - Down to the river
it sounds pretty, not really my thing but i can tell it's done well, the bass sounds properly deep and it sounds all spacious and that
Chazegee - Douse The Fire With Petrol
don't really dig the piano or the guitar, and the vocals aren't my cup of tea. it is a proper song tho i bet it could be popular recorded a bit different
Fatter Faction/Dirtysanta : LOUD! -/- Bahnoff Strasser
aw this is all professional! not fair. it's go them geezer vocals again that i'm not to keen on, but i can't fault how it hangs together and all the little details
Kid hideous/ninjaboy : Pirates
i do like this kind of thing, bit over distorted though and sometimes the differnt elements don't seem to be quite in time properly. love the bassline when it gets to the jungle bit.
MC5 : The Sun it Shines
not sure about vocals again... i guess i'm a bit picky. it's got a bit of a cool wall of soudn coming in about halfway.
The Aids/ATOMIC SUPLEX : Cowboy Stu
how did you get Bobby Gillespie to do backing vocals? it is all professional produced, not fair again. also it makes me feel a bit crazy.
Chooch : Z is for...
nice, disturbing wierd static electronica.
Fruitloop : Sputnik
this reminds me a lot of Plug, and early T-Power. i like all the bits of it.
pandakiller: sin city
this is v professional too, v good at what it does. i would like it to be a bit harder and crunchier, but that is just personal.
i will vote
1) Sputnik
2) Sin City
3) Z is for
but i think instrumental electronic stuff is probably a lot easier to pull off in this kind of thing than stuff with vocals, so I feel a bit guilty.

audiotech
wav, aiff, mp3, ogg, flac

Audiotech is my production tag.
Recently read somewhere that it was advisable to put a name to who made the track (band, artist, whatever) as part of the filename.
This, because the track itself maybe out there on the inter-web and say someone (an A&R personage perhaps?
) could stumble across it, play the song, like it, but not know who it was by. Similarly, someone downloads to their computer, plays it later, wtf, 
I've forgotten who this great artist is? In promotional terms that would be lax on the part of the artist.
So, I would recommend to every artist when they produce a track to include their name in the song file, particularly if you have a web presence.
For example: pandakiller_sin_city.mp3
Also, in software such as Soundforge you can enter metadata within the file - engineer, copyright, artist, songtitle, comments etc.

3rd Boing Liked it a lot. Nice relaxing beats
2nd Fatter Faction Very good stuff and good fun. I can imagine that going down well down the pub on a friday
and
1st
Chazegee. Apart from the piano bit half way thru, this is fantastic. Love it!

my votes-
1. chooch - z is for -really deep, but very icy at the same time. love all the noises going on, with this faint melodic idea just somehow stringing it all together.
2. ninjaboy - pirates - your tunes always amuse me. this one sounds like the late hours of a squat party with the rig being driven to fuck once it all kicks off. that bass lines just so... mindless, its fuckin' great!
3. fuitloop- sputnik - i like the separation on all the sounds on this one, you can hear everything well. im a sucker for that crisp and clean electronic prodcution. and a nicely constructed tune all together.

Thoughts:
Boing! - Down to the river mix
Wicked fat bass sound. Well produced beats. Nice an’ chill vibe .Maybe meanders a bit for my taste, but…that’s what rivers do innit. Was it done in Reason? Sounds Reason-y to me. (not atht that’s a bad thing!)
chazegee – douse the fire with petrol
Got it’s own sound. Nice to hear someone singing. Be wicked driving music I reckon. Like the insistent feeling of the rhythm. Does it get faster at one point, or did I imagine it? Some of the piano sounds a bit skew whiff, but who the fuck am I to talk, I can’t even play a scale.
fatter faction/dirtysanta – loud!
Classic bit of fatter faction. Sounds FAT. Like the female vocals on it more than the main, male, vocals. Couple of nice drops. On balance, it rocks.
kid hideous/ninjaboy – pirates
Ahhh, that classic kid hideous sound Can’t go wrong with a bit of cutty ranks, but I reckon the vocals get a bit lost in the awesomeness of the distortobass. The cat left the room when the beats really kicked in, which I reckon is a good sign. I got up to get a drink and kind of danced across the room while this was on. Also a good sign..
audiotech/MC5 – The Sun It Shines
Ooh, sounds a bit Talking Heads-y. The beats are a bit tinny to my ears, and the mix could do with cleaning up, but there’s some proper rocking guitar in there. Love hearing stuff that’s not just bleeps. Proper lyrics and that.
Pandakiller – sin city
Atmospheric. Nice and deep sounding. Good quiet bit/loud bit dynamics. Lots of lovely sounds I wish I knew how to make. Nice penetrating kick sound. Does seem to tail off a bit though.
Danilonglegs/rutabowa : My Friend Todd
Proper lo-fi! Just about the polar opposite of pk’s entry, but no the worse for it. Lyrics made me snigger.
Fruitloop – sputnik
Skittery. That’s what those beats are. They skitter. I love them. I would never have the patience to program that sort of stuff. The scary sounding pads/chords work really well. Pleasantly unsettling. Wish it went on a bit longer. First one I played twice. I might’ve thickened the bottom end up a bit, and do a bit more with the sample at the start, but it’s not my tune is it?
chooch – z is for…
Also unsettling. Made me glance around nervously. The electricy buzzy sounds are wicked. Far too short though! More!
ATOMIC SUPLEX/The Aids – Cowboy Stu
Those plinky plucky guitar sounds are very The Aids. Recognised the style as soon as it started. Production sounds excellent to me, really clear. Maybe a bit too much reverb on the drums. Would like to hear more of the gravely voice, but the backing vocals are really well done.
Votes:
1) Fruitloop - sputnik
2) boing! - down to the river mix
3) pk - sin city (but very nearly The Aids)

Really need to get my music making shit together. Found the power cable for my midi keyboard the other day, so at least I can plug that in now.
