Re: The New Ugly podcast episode 5 - Nur Ein XII round 4
Ned's Atomic Dustbin. Hope it's not offensive to say. This would probably be a decent comparison: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4a9E89Iq3o

Re: The New Ugly podcast episode 5 - Nur Ein XII round 4
I think we all agree. Different arguments and points of view can all be equally valid but on different planes. To me, a marathon is a type of game, but the difference is that you are playing against yourself and the monumental challenge, too. I think what happened, in retrospect, is that I made a va...

The New Ugly podcast episode 5 - Nur Ein XII round 4
Like every episode, this is either the greatest, or the worst. I don't blame you for feeling either way.

If anyone's waiting - my recording PC took a dump on itself. I'm working on getting the last episode up with backup gear.

Re: Nur Ein XII Round Five
I'm going to go to my judging booth and ponder how to rank these. You all put in some great work - but someone's gotta get cut, and that makes me sad. 73 Keep It Beautiful - This is fantastic. Cute drum sounds. Nice synth. Very solid - I have nothing critical or interesting to say - in a good way. B...

Re: Nur Ein XII - Round Four
Ok so I don't want to get too crazy pie-in-the-sky, but what if we alternate 8 week competitions and the top contestants become judges? Maximize the inbred music taste.

I didn't even realize it was in the realm of possibilities! I would have volunteered 2 years ago, too, though we wouldn't have seen me flame out with my awesome Caravan Ray impersonation.

You are wagering a lot on a single phrase. Hope it's good!glennny wrote:This is good to hear. The current version of the Cavedwellers song has pretty much one chord and one repeated phrase.

Re: The New Ugly podcast episode 4 - Nur Ein XII round 3
I haven't the foggiest idea what boundaries you thought the Cavedwellers were pushing. I thought all the rhythms melodies and chords were rather standard rock. This is what makes you special, because your music usually sounds like you're trying to be different! It's a gift. Just because it isn't al...

Re: Nur Ein XII - Round Four
73 Keep It Beautiful - Sugar Ray wants his intro back. Nice work but very repetitious without much dynamics. Balance Lost - Great production on top of your typical thang. I wonder what would happen if you slowed down or went half-time on the beats for once, cause it comes off a bit spastic sometime...

Re: Nur Ein XII Round Five
All music is repetitive by nature, and there's a lot of interpretation to be had. Don't sweat it. Look at the genres from that article: Examples include minimalist music, krautrock, disco (and its later derivatives such as house music), some techno, some of Igor Stravinsky's compositions, barococo a...

Re: Nur Ein XII - Round Three
73 Keep It Beautiful - Very unique take on the title. Nice song - musically, a bit cliche in your catalog (I'm starting to be able to call the minor chord changes, mister). Challenge-wise, I said I didn't want quaint voiceovers, but this tells a good story so... it's a draw. Balance Lost - This is ...

Re: Nur Ein XII - Round Three
Just an FYI - the last thing I want is a quaint guest vocal in the beginning, a quaint guest vocal at the end, and then a 3 minute song in-between. So if you get past that low hurdle, I'm probably okay with your take on the challenge.
