Well then, shall we...
01 CHEZ WOMBAT ◼ God Is an Astronaut 'Forever Lost' QUOTE Why ‘Forever Lost’? I really liked the build-up and gradual ascent from quiet piano to harsh guitars and the mood is complemented beautifully by the video. I admittedly didn't link to this as there are some scenes that are quite hard to watch (namely the chicken battery farm which honestly contributed to me becoming vegetarian x), but a few of you saw it at the listen through anyway and the reactions weren't too strong so maybe I overreacted  linked here if you're curious xVotes 12 BRUIT ≤ 'The Machine Is Burning (Live)' 10 MASTER BOOT RECORD 'Ftp' 08 Cellar Darling 'DANCE' 07 Mishkin Fitzgerald 'Seraphim' 06 And So I Watch You from Afar '7 Billion People all Alive at Once' 05 RAISE A SUILEN 'Invincible Fighter' 04 Crumb 'BNR' 03 Ana Sanz 'Sigo' 02 Hangman's Chair 'Loner' 01 Benjamin Francis Leftwich 'Atlas Hands' For 'The Machine Is Burning (Live)', the build-up from a quiet, orchestral ambience to a bursting guitar-led wall of sound as it builds to its crescendo was just beautiful to witness, I love music that takes you on a journey and this really does (and particular claps for doing this all live!), thank you to whoever sent it, it's one of my favourite Nuggets entries <3 Songs will join the scoreboard when they have received at least one point — hopefully, we’ll be avoiding nul points tonight. ◼◼◼ Scoreboard 01 12 BRUIT ≤ 'The Machine Is Burning (Live)' 02 10 MASTER BOOT RECORD 'Ftp' 03 08 Cellar Darling 'DANCE' 04 07 Mishkin Fitzgerald 'Seraphim' 05 06 And So I Watch You from Afar '7 Billion People all Alive at Once' 06 05 RAISE A SUILEN 'Invincible Fighter' 07 04 Crumb 'BNR' 08 03 Ana Sanz 'Sigo' 09 02 Hangman's Chair 'Loner' 10 01 Benjamin Francis Leftwich 'Atlas Hands' God Is an Astronaut 'Forever Lost' CHEZ WOMBAT |

02 DOBBO ◼ MASTER BOOT RECORD 'Ftp'
QUOTE Why ‘Ftp’? I discovered the artist when searching for synthwave acts for Club Bizarre vol. 11 but ultimately held back my fave song from them (I had heard at the time) for BJSC 124. Some time after I went through some of their other songs I hadn't heard before and this one (plus another called ANSI.SYS (go check that out one if you liked Ftp)) stood out to me the most. I like the blend of fast rock and synthwave, a subgenre I've very much gotten into a lot over the past couple of years.

(CFCF Remix)' 07 CRASHDÏET 'Generation Wild' 06 RAISE A SUILEN 'Invincible Fighter' 05 Poets of the Fall 'Locking Up the Sun' 04 KennyHoopla 'how will i rest in peace if i'm buried by a highway?//' 03 TORRES 'Thirstier' 02 nicebeatsprod. 'I Cannot Get You Out Of My Head (feat. voxeaa)' 01 Pool 'Everything Is Not Yet Lost' ‘New Evil’ stood out to me the most and I've had it in my head for a while after. ◼◼◼ Scoreboard 01 12 BRUIT ≤ 'The Machine Is Burning (Live)' 02 12 Nocturna 'New Evil' 03 11 RAISE A SUILEN 'Invincible Fighter' 04 10 Falling In Reverse 'ZOMBIFIED' 05 10 MASTER BOOT RECORD 'Ftp’ DOBBO 06 08 Baltra 'Will You Be?

I remember having a similar unsure feeling about the music video for 'EMPIRE' by Kids Of The Apocalypse in BJSC which also had some disturbing scenes, sometimes such things fit the mood of a song well though. That God Is An Astronaut song took a while to properly get going for me but I was quite into it by the end!
Ahh at MASTER BOOT RECORD just being Dobbo again, makes sense I suppose! This song didn't blow me away quite as much as BAYAREA.BMP but still another banger, am sure it should do well for them again. |

There were a lot of good songs towards the end and Forever Lost was one of them.

03 PETEFROMLEEDS ◼ Breichiau Hir 'Mwynhau'
QUOTE Why ‘Mwynhau’? It's a song I thought fit the theme quite well, and Welsh-language music in general feels quite underrepresented so I thought I'd give it some love here! Votes 12 Gang of Youths 'in the wake of your leave' 10 Benjamin Francis Leftwhich 'Atlas Hands' 08 KennyHoopla 'how will i rest in peace if i'm buried by a highway?//' 07 Pool 'Everything Is Not Yet Lost' 06 Esti Kornél 'Utánad' 05 Baltra 'Will You Be? (CFCF Remix)' 04 TORRES 'Thirstier' 03 Maria Rodés 'Seguramente Fui Yo' 02 Ana Sanz 'Sigo' 01 Crumb 'BNR' ‘in the wake of your leave’: I always love songs which have a non-traditional 'flow' if that makes sense - both the verses and chorus for this one are just one long melody which works so well and really endears me to the track! I'll be honest, I thought Gang of Youths would be a little too known currently for this contest (especially with a veto being infinitely less so, but rules are rules!). It's a great song though, and one I expected to do well as soon as I heard it. ◼ ◼ ◼ Scoreboard 01 13 Baltra 'Will You Be?

Ooh that's an early reveal. Probably quite a predictable one what with post-rock sound and planet themed video but it was a really wonderful find I've been sitting on for a while now. Hope some of you can enjoy it x
And yes, BRUIT would be an absolutely wonderful winner, stormer of a track <3333 |

Wait, how did I not recognize Master Boot Record from BJSC!!!
Whoops, I didn't save my votes so I hope they're revealed early to remind me of them! |

Breichiau Hir sounded a bit like a Welsh version of Biffy Clyro, definitely an interesting entry and cool to hear another song in the Welsh language (following that one ANi GLASS song from BJSC and that's about it that I can think of x), I liked the chorus a lot more than the verses though.

05 ANSEL ◼ Ana Sanz 'Sigo''
QUOTE Why ‘Sigo’? I can't remember how I found this song now - I think it just came on my Spotify after a playlist finished - but I really liked the breezy, soaring feel of the chorus and the little production details like the sound of a car engine starting up in the background.

06 AWARDINARY ◼ Pool 'Everything Is Not Yet Lost’

The sixth song, the sixth twelve-pointer — and now a three-way lead. Are Nuggets contests always this close? Unfortunately for Awardinary, their original choice was vetoed.

Oh I quite liked 'Will You Be?', the riff almost sounds like a loop of the Smashing Pumpkins' '1979', or maybe it actually is...
Glad to see every song with points already! |
