October 12, 20168 yr Wow, things have suddenly gotten good, much appreciated mdh! Feels very surreal and amazing to be knocking on the door of the top 10 with this entry. And I can't call it at all for the winner although any of the tracks in contention would be an awesome winner, this contest is delivering in all of the best ways.
October 12, 20168 yr Thank you Syndare and too Medhiania :wub: (Mdh I know your country name aint spelt right here but thank you :wub:) Edited October 12, 20168 yr by HarryEzra
October 12, 20168 yr Author 29/39 / Aeroche http://i.imgur.com/CLAEtnR.png Aeroche have taken the opportunity to self-recycle Irish producer Richard D. James aka AFX (also aka Aphex Twin, under which name he came 4th in BJSC 60 with his all-time classic 'Windowlicker' - would never get past the veto these days!!), this time with a much more obscure cut, 'PWSteal.Ldpinch.D' from the 2005 'Analord 08' EP. Indecipherable song titles are a bit of an institution for RDJ. Unfortunately this one isn't catching on as well as 'Windowlicker', currently down in 34th. 18 Medhelnia // Mark Knight - Yebisah 15 Fljótavík // Underworld - And I Will Kiss (feat.

Eep.
October 12, 20168 yr Thanks Aeroche :wub: Thought I'd get points from you - a 4th 18 is insane, though!! Hope I can stay in the top 10 for the forseeable future (all the way til the end ;o)
October 12, 20168 yr Author 30/39 / Alteria http://i.imgur.com/zI1ZsWc.png Alteria, for the first time ever, have participated in two different BJSC events in a single calendar year, after only appearing once in each of the last 3 years. Here they've selected Scottish rock band Teenage Fanclub - perhaps the second most Alteria-y artist possible, I can only assume Suede did not have any suitably instrumental tracks - with 'Is This Music?' from their seminal 1991 third studio album 'Bandwagonesque'. It's doing rather groovily for them for a change, currently in the top 15. Howdy, disco citizen. Here's my votes for the Instrumental UP - 18 - Eric Johnson 15 - Ken Arai 13 - Eats Everything 12 - Lights & Motion 11 - Dance with the Dead 10 - Blancmange 9 - Lone 8 - Jake Chudnow 7 - Glude 6 - Fatima Yamaha 5 - Mark Knight 4 - Lets Be Friends 3 - Sonority 2 - BanYa 1 - Ludovico Einaudi http://i.imgur.com/WWvQfHO.png http://i.imgur.com/US8fbAZ.png http://i.imgur.com/YW5Zcbe.png http://i.imgur.com/U4r4SsF.png http://i.imgur.com/TVlwDuY.png 01 203 Terra Avium // Lights & Motion - The Spectacular Quiet 02 190 Avalonia // Thomas Bergersen - Empire Of Angels 03 184 Fljótavík // Underworld - And I Will Kiss (feat.

A bit of a shame it has a 33% deduction coming its way. > Twelve to Terra Avium and nothing to Avalonia means Terra Avium can breathe again for now as their lead is back to 13 points, while they also become the first country past 200 points. Fljótavík stay 3rd, caught very slightly by Taahino. Persephonia close the gap to the top 4 a bit, picking up another 8 points. Our spinoff points record (178) looks in reaching distance - get out the earmuffs if that happens because this crowd is going bananas ;o xx > Aelandor fall out of the top 10. > Leapfrogging them are another dark horse, Séyetana, who pick up fellow Japanophile nation Alteria's 15 and cross the 100 point mark.
October 12, 20168 yr Author 31/39 / Federal Republic of Ashton http://i.imgur.com/abBqHVJ.png BJSC veterans Federal Republic of Ashton (or is it just Ashton again now??) sent in 'Le Onde', a rather gorgeous piano track from the 1996 album of the same name by Italian contemporary classical artist Ludovico Einaudi who is best known for the track 'I Giorni', a UK top 40 hit courtesy of a Radio 1 campaign and also well-known for usage in adverts and the such. Einaudi is also already a BJSC big hitter, finishing 5th in BJSC 59 with the Starkey remix of 'Experience' representing Fljótavík. He's doing well again here, having been consistently top 10 and currently sixth.

Nothing to Taahino sees them fall behind slightly in 4th. Nothing to Persephonia either, but we remain comfortably 5th. > Aelandor return to the top 10 once again in tenth place. Poor brave Medhelnia dip back out.
October 12, 20168 yr I'm destined for #11, I can tell. :lol: Not if I beat you to it. (yes Brett! that has to be everything for me now though)
October 12, 20168 yr Suedehead! :wub: Oh my god at it being a possible top 5! Don't let me down final few voters! edit: And Mr Furlong too! :o It reminded me of happier times. The time we invited loads of foreigners to this country and everybody had a good time. A time when we celebrated so many of the things that were good about Britain. A time when we celebrated a Somalian refugee winning two races. A time when we celebrated a mixed race woman being far too good at far too many events. I want that country back :(
October 12, 20168 yr OH MY thankyou Lomaja! Totally unexpected! You're welcome! I really enjoyed your track, it reminds me of some of the music I used to listen to when I was younger.
October 12, 20168 yr Author 32/39 / Skall http://i.imgur.com/JvOHcqh.png Skall sent Dutch DJ Bas Bron under his 'female' alter ego Fatima Yamaha with 'What's A Girl To Do', from his/her 2004 EP 'A Girl Between Two Worlds'. Bron is slightly better known under his other pseudonym Bastian, with 2 UK top 100 hits. Fatima Yamaha had been in line to be a possible Persephonian BJSC entry with his/her more recent track 'Love Invaders'.
