May 13, 201015 yr I've got Endless Art. I wonder if it includes the song of that name by A House :o Or perhaps it's a CD of Art Garfunkel songs :huh:
May 13, 201015 yr Mine appears to have no total and all the titles and artists left in. Fortunately I'm only familiar with 2 of the artists
May 13, 201015 yr The Journey is turning out to be good. Lots of soulful tracks from various eras. Looking forward to writing a review but as there are only 15 tracks I don't think I'll manage 500 words but I'll give it a go.
May 13, 201015 yr I've got Running From Main Street but my WinZip is saying Track 14 is corrupted. :cry: So I can't extract that one track from the file. :drama: I do however have all other tracks uploaded successfully and will give these a good few listens over the next couple of weeks before posting my verdict/review. ^_^
May 13, 201015 yr I'm downloading as I type... I have received 'Now That's What I Call Tunes!' which I eagerly await hearing. The title makes me think that it has the potential to be awful or brilliant but unlikely to be anywhere between.
May 13, 201015 yr Title: Black Flowers. Upon hearing the title I was expecting a metal compilation or something dark, what other kind of genre would have a title like that? "Welcome to my salon, the theatre of blood and goths" ... the opening line of a twenty five track album, and thus confirming my thoughts that this would be a sinister 80 minutes or so. A somewhat disturbing short monologue opens the album. At this point I'm starting to think this collection of songs might not be suited to a Eurovision enthusiast. A sort of disjointed grimey (if that's the word) rap song follows. Not my kind of thing at all unfortunately. A Joy Division-esque song next which is decent followed by a complete change of style - A jazzy, but gloomy showtune kind of number. Quite liked this one, sassy vocals. A very creepy 39 second interlude then which I loved - really want to know who this is :lol: . Sounds like something from The Others! A very loud metal song follows sung by, I think, a female... Rather good I thought - I’m quite partial to some metal music. Reminds me of Auf Der Maur. The seventh track reminded me of Duran Duran bizarrely haha! I seem to recall it from when I was much younger, think it might have been a song my mother used to play on the record player... Not sure who it is though. Rather like it! A decent track followed, not much I can say about it really, apart from that I loved the backing vocals. Track 9 was a sort of soft punk offering which reminded me of Babylon Zoo slightly. More disturbing nightmare-inducing rock for track 10 before a rather beautiful rendition of Gloomy Sunday - I recognise the vocals instantly, so I’m sure it‘s someone I know already, but I can’t put my finger on who it is. Track 12 is by far my favourite so far, kind of New Romantic, but with a rock element. Wasn’t so keen on track 13, kind of like a toned down Happy Mondays. Track 14 is another one of those short interludes - once again I loved it! Quite possibly the most unbearable thing I've listened to followed - lots of grunting over a raucous guitar and drum noise. Maybe it’s that drummer from The Muppets?! A calmer song next, kind of OMD like. Quite liked it, but the saxophone spoilt it a bit. Never been keen on that instrument. XTC’s Dear God follows, really like this one! For a second I thought The Goodies’ Funky Gibbon had been included as the opening line to track 18 was almost identical. Another rocky tune, not one that particularly stood out to me apart from the very start of the song. Track 19 was great, but very hard to describe, had like 1920’s elements mixed with rap? Siouxsie and the Banshees who I rather like next with Peek-a-boo. Track 21 was like a comedy horror song, interesting but not a song I’d necessarily listen to out of choice. A similar but less comical song followed. Track 23 I also loved (apart from the “Hey ho A raping I shall go“ verse :lol: ) , maybe it’s the same artist who did the two interlude tracks. Track 24 could easily pass for the token metal entry in the Norwegian national final for Eurovision. Wasn’t a fan of it I’m afraid. The compilation ended on a high note though with some music that often gets used to advertise these big American drama’s like 24 or Grey’s Anatomy. I think it’s called In A House - In A Heartbeat, or something similar. A piece of music I love anyway. Overall then, it was a fairly strong album - certainly would be highly enjoyable for a metal/rock music enthusiast. There were a few songs I loved and am really keen to find out who they are by. Namely tracks 5, 6, 7, 11, 12, 14, 16 & 23. I’m sure whoever made this will be delighted someone with a taste like mine found at least 8 tracks on this album to be great. Not sure who made this as I don't know for sure who entered, my guess would be Severin, but whoever it was, thank you very much :D
May 13, 201015 yr I'm downloading as I type... I have received 'Now That's What I Call Tunes!' which I eagerly await hearing. The title makes me think that it has the potential to be awful or brilliant but unlikely to be anywhere between. I've made a CD for one of these before beginning with 'Now That's What I Call'....
May 13, 201015 yr The Journey is turning out to be good. Lots of soulful tracks from various eras. Looking forward to writing a review but as there are only 15 tracks I don't think I'll manage 500 words but I'll give it a go. This very post only contains more than 30 words (i don't know if you include I's, a's, to's, etc though), i'm sure it'll be not hard! If you like, say, 5 tracks enough - write a half of review by reviewing them! :kink: I'm still having Track 11 missing because i forgot to re-download the file :drama: Shall do it on tomorrow!
May 13, 201015 yr Without fail, Ghosty is always the first to post a review! :D I like to do things as soon as possible :D
May 13, 201015 yr I've got Running From Main Street but my WinZip is saying Track 14 is corrupted. :cry: So I can't extract that one track from the file. :drama: I do however have all other tracks uploaded successfully and will give these a good few listens over the next couple of weeks before posting my verdict/review. ^_^ I've had this with track 5 on 'Spirits and Tall Tales' :(
May 13, 201015 yr I've made a CD for one of these before beginning with 'Now That's What I Call'.... Awful it is then. :D I'm busy converting it, it appears to be in virtually the only format that I cannot put on my ipod! :lol:
May 13, 201015 yr Oh my sweet jesus lord, after track 8 on my cd i was beginning to lose all hope, then track 9 was pretty darned good and i know/adore/worship track 10. Track 10 on this actually made the long list of songs for my cd :heehee:
May 13, 201015 yr I've had this with track 5 on 'Spirits and Tall Tales' :( I don't understand how that can happen. I hope my album downloaded ok for the poster who received it. Worse still, I tried to delete the folder WinZip created so I could try again and I got another error saying the folder can't be deleted because it's in use. Have I downloaded a virus? :w00t: :drama:
May 13, 201015 yr Quite a bunch of us who messed up with downloading/were victims of mediafire's unperfect service! :o
May 13, 201015 yr On the plus side, the playlist being in wma files should mean that it's not filled with dodgy quality mp3s (I'm far too anal for that, I'd have to reburn and adjust the volumes!) It's taking ages to convert though and I really want to listen now...
May 13, 201015 yr Quick question, anyone know a decent bit of free software for converting wma's into mp3's or m4a's?? Track 4 is one of my faves thus far and i can't put it on my iPod :(
May 13, 201015 yr Quite a bunch of us who messed up with downloading/were victims of mediafire's unperfect service! :o Hmm, I used Mega Upload. I've always used that for uploading big files over 60mb in size.
