Who were the entrants?
I assume mixerboy was Gilmour.
You see, this double blind vote thing doesn't work when you can identify the entrant by his song ? - Mixerboy, you need to change your style haha
Entrants are:
Gilmour - Mixerboy
Buckingham - bruciekins
Sumlin - WEM
Mixerboy - the quality of your recordings never cease to amaze me, although if I can be honest with you, I was more impressed with the recording quality than the backwardness. I heard a few swells, and backward moments, but this song struck me more as a full on metal track. Dude, I must say, you are an excellent guitarist, i loved the soloing. You need to put your material on some music library site where it can be used for movies and shows.
bruciekins - I really enjoyed this, but had it not been for your blurb, I would not have identified the backwardness of your track. I really love jazz, and for me, you just soothed my soul. You too are an excellent guitarist, you really got that feeling spot on. My main crit was that the song was too long. I thought to myself a few times, how long is this song, and that is not something that a listener should be thinking about. So because this is the Advanced category, I feel that must weigh against you. There were also a few parts where your song, in a kind of schizophrenic manner, changed genre, that didn't gel well with me, although you pulled it off very well, and I can appreciate what you were doing, as a matter of personal taste, I wasn't mad about all the different genre's.
WEM - What a beautiful track. This one was the most backwards for me, although that was mainly the secondary guitar that was making it feel backwards. The backwardsness wasn't heavily emphasised, but still, it was there, and I could hear and feel it without trying hard, so you would have gotten my vote, unfortunately, my vote was too late ☹ This song reminded me of one of those new age meditation songs, it put me in a relaxed state haha. The synths sounded somewhat too synthetic, but then again, half those new age stuff sound even worse (not that i'm saying yours sounded bad, it didn't, it worked well, but it was obvious that it was synth). So my only small gripe, was that the backwardness wasn't in your face, but maybe that's why this track is as good as it is, you didn't force it on us.
Ok well I see we have a tie, so let me think about this for a little bit, and I'll let you know of the outcome.
