Lyrics made me snigger.
would you believe they were freestyled? By Todd, from North Carolina, who had dropped by our flat. really to get the sing you have to imagine us all sat round the tape recorder in a filthy kitchen, with a chicken carcass boiling in a pot, the tv turned to daytime, backgammon laid out, and a dirty bucket made from a squash bottle.
 
Cool, thanks for all the comments so far. :)

My votage:

chazegee – douse the fire with petrol. I'm to scared to sing (also it sounds fucking awful) so I have respect for anyone who dares. Even more so if it sounds good, which this definitely does. Nice mastering and stuff too.

PK - sin city. I'm always jealous of the production on your stuff, and this one has material that really appeals to me as well. Nice basslines.

Ninjaboy - pirates. Cutty Ranks and big dancehall bass. 'Nuff said.

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.

.

Why is that not fair? I mixed it on a really shit broken desk with utterly shit cheap effects on my bedroom floor about 10 years ago. I'm just good is all.

Shame I wasn't so go with that last batch of recordings I did for us. I'm depressed.
 
this is a really close race between 5 songs. it depends how we count la resistance's votes on the 1st page as well

the experimental breakbeat ones all doing well :cool:

this sunday will sort all that out.
 
Bumped for the lazy bastards, it's a Sunday so you've no excuses to have a listen!
 
I don't, as a rule, like any of this kind of music, so feel free to ignore what I have to say. This is all from the viewpoint of someone who'd rather listen to some indie kids pretending to be Jonathan Richman.

I've decided to enter a new type of scoring system for this. I'll note down at what exact time I had to turn the song off because it got too annoying/boring. I don't expect to make it all the way through any of these songs.

Boing - Had to fast forward it at 1.50. The "come on brother, let's go down" bit is nice, but the rest didn't realy grab me. Knocked it on the head at 5.08, but I skipped from 1.50 to at least 4.00.

Chaz - Weird one this. Turned it off at 1.37. Definitely very professional, and I think there's potential here, but I found it a bit unpleasant and had to stop it. Like catching Maxi Jazz doing something sordid.

Fruitloop - I find it hard to take drum'n'bass seriously, so mixing in the sci-fi SFX helped keep my attention. I listened to all of this one.

Ninjaboy - Who does the vocals? Is it you? I liked it until the d'n'b stuff came in. Made me laugh out loud once with a funny sound effect in the right hand speaker. Lasted 2.09 out of a possible 5.22.

Fatter - You know the bloke at the start of this? That's me, that is. Pretty funny, though. The actual song should have been nastier. You sound a bit polite. Stopped it at 2.01.

MC5 - Is this the one that starts "I'm so glad I'm alive?" Sorry, didn't really do it for me. Stopped it at 1.18

Atomic Suplex - Brilliant. I love it! Like the little xylophone bits, and the lush feel of the production. And the vocal is excellent. Listened to it all the way through - it's too short! Write the other half of the song and you're getting somewhere. Very good though.

Chooch - I clicked on the link but nothing happened.

Banhoff - This is the same as Fatter right? Same problem - you're presenting a bad bwoy persona but you sound too middle class. Get someone else in to do your vocals. Music was OK. Stopped it after a minute or so.

PK - Nice. Reminds me of Banco De Gaia. But the production is fucked - feels like it's clogged up with cotton wool. Maybe it's the compression thing you were talking about. Weirdly my itunes cut it off after a minute and skipped onto the Pastels. Wicked.

Rutabowa - Make me laugh, but I had to turn it off. Lasted 1.05.

Hiccup - There was no link.

My top three:

Atomic Suplex
PK
Ninjaboy

As I say, I know fuck all about dance music really, so my opinion is worth very little. I did a tune for a laugh once on Cubase and it was about 100 times worse than these, so well done everyone.

:)
 
Neither can anyone else Ninj...

Let's see if I can figure it out:

chaz said -

1/Ninja Boy - ruddddeeeeeeee Bwwwwwooooy
2/Banhoff Strass - Not least because I'ts got breasts in it innit!
3/Chooch - Nice textures like

ninjaboy said -

1. Boing - down to the river
2 chooch - z is for...
3. fruitloop - sputnik

mc5 said -

1. pk
2. ninjaboy
3. rutabowa

pk said -

1/ Boing - Down To The River
2/ Chazegee - Douse The Fire With Petrol
3/ MC5 : The Sun it Shines

rutabowa said -

1) Sputnik - fruitloop
2) Sin City - pk
3) Z is for - chooch

souljacker said -

3rd Boing
2nd Fatter Faction
1st Chazegee

boing said -

1. chooch - z is for
2. ninjaboy - pirates
3. fruitloop- sputnik

hiccup said -

1) Fruitloop - sputnik
2) boing! - down to the river mix
3) pk - sin city

fruitloop said -

1/chazegee – douse the fire with petrol.
2/PK - sin city
3/Ninjaboy - pirates

ianw said -

1/Atomic Suplex
2/PK
3/Ninjaboy

So if that's correct... well, I'll count them up.
 
Ninjaboy/Kid Hideous - 9 pts
chooch - 7 pts
boing - 9 pts
fruitloop - 6 pts
pk - 10 pts
chazegee - 8 pts
mc5 - 1 pt
fatter faction - 4 pts
atomic suplex - 3 pts
rutabowa - 1 pt

So, suspiciously enough, looks like I win that one by a single point, LOL, someone better recheck those scores!

:D

I didn't count the single voters, has to be a top 3 or it's not fair, right? Dunno if that would have made a difference...
 
If you count the single votes - we draw, at 10 points each, and fatter faction get 1 extra point.

But your "vote" was cast before you'd sorted the zip file out, and half the tunes were missing, so... how convienient...

:D :D :D

Definitely need a public poll system though...
 
It's the fixiest thing in the history of fixes!

You're all just lucky I never got around to sorting out an entry.
 
Look I fucking won however you count the votes!!

:D

Alright, fuck this, let's settle it with a Winter comp...
