Oh yeah the solo is totally Detroit Rock City, except no harmony part.

Oh Really? Which song? It was purely unintentional.

There seems to be a lot of hate brewing around in this thread and I thought music was all about the love, especially this challenge. I have to admit Country Martyr's song is not my cup of tea, but you might say the same for John Cage's 4'33". To me, music all about personal expression and it do...

Out of the darkest night shines a light from afar that leads me to her throne over the treacherous ground I cross the deadly abyss No I will not be denied Into the darkness there's still a gleam of hope shining from a massive peak on high lies more treasure than one could ever dream of the Jewel of ...

I'm in, though I chose to forgo the Indian feel and made a tribute to Ronnie James Dio instead.

TheArmiesOfTheWorldMarchAgainstUs This would be cool in a soundtrack, maybe Requiem for a Dream. Dan The Man Band Pure Fucking Bullshit. Enter It In The Art Show Were you poking fun at nerdcore with that intro. Sneaky sneaky. I'm not digging the trashcan lid cymbal, but that's just like my opinion ...

It helps to be mildly schizophrenic.

Ease Your Storm - Dan The Man Band Don't you cry Time goes by and this will Someday Dry your eyes Sometimes it feels good to cry but know that Everything is going to be alright I've been there once or twice And waves were pretty high but I know that you are making your own way I hope you can confide...

Vocals hold it from getting a vote. GAH to these vocals. Timing is a huge problem here with these vocals, especially given how tight the instrumental is GAH to these vocals indeed! GAH them straight to hell! I tweaked the vocals when I had more time to go back and listen more carefully. I think the...

Thanks for posting this James. I think I'll try to add some Reason to my next submission.

Dan The Man Band – Heavyyyyy. Occasional complex meter. Voice takes me out of it a bit, but I understand this is probably all you, so it’s understood that you’re not perfect at everything (unless you’re Prince or something). Produced well, instruments played solidly, and I definitely appreciate the...

The oriental-sounding thing is a SynC Modular-based synth called a "salterium" with some VST octave coupling. The plucked bass viol that appears during the oriental bits is a Reason NN-19 sample. I actually downloaded the SynC when some folks were talking about how NI had bought it and tu...

Ok I pulled a bonehead move and wrote a song with totally the wrong title in mind. I was thinking Double Time Half Time instead of life. Please excuse my ignorance. That's what I get for procrastinating.

No harm in using a pick. Lately I've been learning how to bring the funk with a pick.

Man! Lord of Oats, I think you stole my brainwaves. I was going to do a Joy Division/New Order type song for this fight and your song was spot on. I just recently watched24 Hour Party People and Control and now I'm obsessed with Ian Curtis. Great job!

Doh! Totally lost track of time and didn't vote, but here are my notes on each song. Thanks for all the comments for my song. Berkeley Social Scene liked the stereo split during the first part really liked how the song had different sonic landscapes catchy outro Caravan Ray Loved the rhythm of the s...
