Sorry to interrupt, but I think you'll find there is a huge difference between the Cornish accent and the Yorkshire accent, or the Brummie accent and that of say someone from Essex.

Interruption over...

We find South African can only be classified by process of elimination.

Okay accents...try this

http://accent.gmu.edu/browse_language.p ... ge=english Lot's of variations of the same paragraph in different regional and national accents

This is best collection of lots of contemporary accents spoken in English across the world http://www.ku.edu/~idea/europe/europe.htm

Or this http://www.bl.uk/collections/sound-arch ... tml#listen

This British guy's take on the difference between American and "English" is quite intersting too. http://www.peak.org/~jeremy/dictionary/chapters/

Have at it lads and lassies huge variations Loads of fun for all the family

Originality means writing music from the heart, not screwing around to try and make something "different" than what comes naturally.

No, no it doesn't.

And I have no idea where you got your anti-indie diatribe came from, seeing as how no one has even mentioned indie so far.

At least he wrote a full set of reviews.
7 out of 21 entrants is a pretty poor strike rate.

15-16 Puzzle: This is a nice progression, but the words here are so clumsy. Like, they sound like they were meant to be very clever and play off of one another, but it sounds very forced, like bloody teeth in a mouth that donâ€™t fit right so youâ€™re spitting them out.

Caravanray: Synth west. Fuck yeah. I hear echoes of Morricone even in the guitar tone. This seems far more serious in tone, but still not too seriously, than other work of yours Iâ€™ve heard. I like the tone here a lot, kind of dark kind of sorrowful. But itâ€™s also accessible because it feels like your tongue is still in your cheek. Which is a good place for everyoneâ€™s tongue to be. By the end this starts to sound a little like a â€œseriousâ€
