In a playlist of over 6000 songs that Yellow Magic Orchestra entry was the final one I got on shuffle last night before I went to bed, spooky! Intrigued to find out who sent that.
Most of these look unfamiliar so looking forward to diving in. |

Lol even in this theme we get a Pet Shop Boys entry! (Did Depeche Mode and UNKLE/DJ Shadow not have any experimental enough songs to pop up too?
 )Don't think I know any of these songs but some promising artist names as usual, looking forward to hearing the Autechre, Björk, Goldie and Yellow Magic Orchestra songs especially. |

Well I can already see where I’m sending my max points to this time with a former fave!
I’m glad I managed to enter this as I wasn’t sure my entry fit the bill but glad that it does! |

When an 18 minute song is sent to a contest and it's not even close to being the longest

QUOTE(dandy* @ Feb 4 2024, 10:19 PM) When an 18 minute song is sent to a contest and it's not even close to being the longest Was thinking for a second there was going to be another hour long entry here after seeing this post! (but instead it's a mere 24 minutes which is nothing really xo) The whole playlist is 1 hour 50 minutes which is a lot for 18 songs but pretty comparable to the length of a typical BJSC semi. I guess it's not surprising a theme like this would attract some very long entries. |

More familiar names than I was expecting, and glad to see the 60's in there. I was within a whisker of going for an unexpected 60's experimental track but I thought it would have been poo-poohed for being too short at 3 minutes

Regarding the likes of PSBs being entered so often - how do people feel about that?
We always said that we'd try not to limit things too much, and this particular track is a b-side so it's hardly the cheapest song in the list, but do people get fed up of the same acts or do you not mind? |

I don’t mind at all. If the song’s good and it fits the theme I’ll vote for it.
We could miss really good discoveries if we start shutting artists out - and for some of the themes (not this one so much) it’s been hard enough to not repeat artists as it is. |

I don't really mind, I just find it kind of amusing, especially for this particular theme.

Same, my reply was a bit of a joke, I don't mind A-ha, Depeche or PSB entered as far it's not hit singles
especially if it's random album tracks or b-sides like here |

QUOTE(awardinary @ Feb 5 2024, 10:59 AM) Spotify playlist; Thank you! All playlists there now. I should note that the streaming version of Autechre is longer than the video version, and there doesn't seem to be any edit available so depends if you want the full long song experience I guess x (I mean why would you not given we have 44 minutes taken up by two entries  )
