Your name is very self descriptive of the music.
Monotone rythmic sleeper robo lulabye.
And then tentacles
Another creepy whisper vocal urging doom and gloom.
The electronic behind this one is like a schizo nightmare
face coming out of the mirror. I'm worried, I'm scared,
these babies are not good. Stop all production.
Hault the assemblyline!
Baker
Spoken word always slows down my acceptance. Ok, it jumps into
some u-zig thingy. News sound bite feel over a 4 track synth
flows into a campfire-o-forgot the words diddy. Not really
sure about this one.
bear squadron
Serious vocoder offset vocals at extreme octaves. No music
just pitch shifted vox strangeness.
B. ellison
A real song, finally! This one is good. Groovy subtle intro
soft vox over well placed crashes. Good transition to reflective
pre-chorus and chorus build up. Yeah, this is well constructed.
Can't place influences -- but overall good composition.
Boo Chin Balls
This got high marks from other reviewers. I'm still waiting through the intro.
Lots of key shifting -- ok, voice intro is solid. This is reminding me of
Matchbox 20 meets some synth thing. The chorus is very 80s -- almost Softcell.
I'm not hitting these influences very accurately, sorry. This is certainly well
constructed. The verse is actually quite groovy. I like the high note on the
chorus too.
Chuck the bear
Another heavy hitter on the review circuit. The levels are bit bass heavy on my
system. I like the sound though. A sort of Foo Fighters thing. The guitar and
voice are well aligned. The ride is really low -- wouldn't mind a touch more of that.
Wow, the click click part is awesome -- this is straight out of Tanner circa early 90s!!!
Wind me up baby -- SWEET!
Cranial Biffida
Wow Depeche darkened and given a creepy Siousxe vocal overlay. Not sure about the
spoken word sample overlay. Death metal harmony is okay. Pretty good.
Cynthia Size and Electric Spoons
Cool intro loop. At first hit, the vocals seemed underwhelming,
but once they set up their atmosphere they are better. This this
stereolab-ish? It's a bit more goofy and less poppy though. The chimes
are way loud in the mix. Is a chime solo what you *really* want to do???
I like the sound of Cynthia through the vox vocode.
Division of Sin
Heavy thunder pushes me over. Typewriter heavy metal riff?
Trance transitions with radio RF tune in sounds. A small child
whispering in the distance. I've never heard synth death metal
done with a typewriter before. This is creepy.
Framed!
Blues construction. Chorus harmonies sound like they were done
by volunteers from the street. The middle part gets really Soul,
like like i don't know Barry Manalow? The story is good. I love
the "Robot Embrace" part -- that's funny.
Friedrich Honig Hosen Project
Vocally this reminds me of an Adult tune I loved -- statements
like "footwear". But without the electro-clash pop dance music,
this really doesn't compare to Adult. Interesting, but I'm longing
for something I can dance to.
Friendly Martians
PacMan over campfire hodge-podge of instrumentation. Quirky
puppet voice sings a decent melody. This would be really fun
to perform wasted while camping.
Glenny
The classic crazed production of a Zappa loving guitar hack.
I like the guitar tap and wail intro. This lyric is great:
"This little bundle of plastic and metal is my daughter". I
also like when the robo daughter sings back to her father --
did you sing through your guitar effect rack or something? Crazy.
Jimmy Jet HistVset
This is cool. It's kind of Sebadoh meets early Beck doing
the all acoustic thing. Rough timing on the low fi drums, but
good feel overall. The structure, composition, and melody is
good.
Jorden Seavers
Holy moly -- I never tuned in to Jorden's amaizing entries until
this fight. This is excellent. It's like that 2nd Postal Service
album all the fans have been awaiting for ages -- forget that, just
download Jorden Seaver's entire discography off of SongFight.
What's impressive is there are 90% synth tracks like this one, and
90% guitar tracks. Good job! Definitely enjoying these!
I like the "switch is gone -- gone gone gone" part. OVerall great
song craft.
Luke Henley
Acoustic + voice. Soothing melody, a few crash lyrics here and there.
The harmonies are actually pretty good in the middle. The verse holds
back nicely to frame the whole thing. Pretty nice.
MC Wreckshin
Russian dance synth thing. Nerdcore -- okay. Thanks for clarifying
what genre this is so early. Self promotional lyrics with songfight
history on there. Interesting to know the history. How do you
and Chuck the bear both come up with the same "click click click", yet
implement it so differently -- strange how these things work.
Melvin
Smooth verse line -- good guitar lick. The vamping chorus is good too.
I would have liked to hear the chorus keep building into some epic
thing and stay and shift before going back to the verse. This is
certainly one of those inspirational stand up an do something type of
songs.
MuffCake
I like the 80s retro verse. I'm wondering if you could have adjusted the
vocal melody slightly to really highlight the underlying track. It's
catchy -- could push the pop a knotch.
Nemphusi
Nasal blues with a bit rough implementation of the cool hammer on licks.
Ninja Bachelors
A nice cowboy waltz. Mixed soft. Hard to hear.
Paco Del Stinko
Country rock by a lab scientist. Nice changes -- fast and twangy.
Good guitar solo. RE: The controversial yea-hah -- to me it belongs.
Pained Memories
Hinting at NIN. Lots of static in this track. What's your setup?
Rone Rivendale
Oh no -- spoken word over a Church organ. "Stop right here".
shex
This is pretty live sounding. Has a sort-of TX rock sound. Cool guitar/key solo action. The break between vocal parts is a touch long. Gets kindof jammy / shapeless after the second vocal part. This reminds me of Matchbox 20 too. I never listen to that band, so I might be throwing that reference out incorrectly.
The Slicks
This was the third of three live takes. Wrote and performed the whole song during our jam night in about 2 hours. The mix had problems because the live vox were heavy in with POP sounds, especially during the "Pyre" part in the middle -- also the drums are really low -- mics that should have worked didn't work... Glenny who normally plays guitar was off "doing his own thing"
, so the intro is rough, and no bass in the entire song. The intro was actually supposed to be the chorus with "Robo Baby, Baby be Robo" as repeated lyrics, but we couldn't get the transition timing right, so made it an intro/outro, and wrote an emergency chorus. We appreciate all the opinions and advise. Special Thanks to people that gave encouraging comments, or even said this was a top contender!
Sockpuppet
Wow, phat piano! This is off to a good start. Groovin. I like the sounds and the buildup. Eletro madness. This progression sounds reminiscent of something... The female voice is good almost 99 red balloons. Whoa -- the male voice is a bit too forward and clipped.
Space Dust
Spoken word over a triangle. Goes into a rap beat. Strange mix of new order triangle melodies over a MC space mmm dust quirkiness.
Wages
Wild deep voice goes into repeating guitar high in the mix. The high vox are a bit ambitious, but I see what you're going for.
wwe are smort
Another wild crazy rap. Crzy mix of instruments taking over the chorus melody. Cuts in the main take right in the middle into a eponymous proclamation of self over the wedding march.
ZeaLous1
Another rap - - phat bass drum - - good robot vox effect.
All the voicings are from the same take. It was fun to try something different.
