October 12, 20168 yr Author Very nearly done with preparation - so just pushing this back v slightly again to 8:45. Will definitely start then! ;o
October 12, 20168 yr Not sureeeeeeee Hoping this finishes lowish. Why? Because it needs to finish lower than my main entry :lol:
October 12, 20168 yr Oh fantastic, shall look forward to these! I almost went with this, not sure how it would have done: zmq53N8v7Co I really like the melody and then the intentional conflict between the beats and the piano lines.
October 12, 20168 yr Author We're off! I'll do one post every 3 minutes (approximately) so we'll get through this in about 2 hours. Hope people post a bit so I'm not talking to myself but I'll continue at that pace regardless :o ~ 1/39 / Avalonia http://i.imgur.com/US8fbAZ.png Avalonia, early voters as they usually are, are up first. They sent Norwegian composer Thomas Bergersen with his orchestral epic 'Empire Of Angels' from his 2014 album 'Sun'. Bergersen is behind Avalonia's biggest hit to date in the main contest - 4th placed 'Children Of The Sun' (feat. Merethe Soltvedt) (BJSC 82) - and also came 12th in BJSC 76 as part of Two Steps From Hell with another instrumental, 'Miracles', then representing Terra Avium. We'll see as the night unfolds if Bergersen can provide Avalonia great success for a second time ~ 18/ Pupok // César Dávila-Irizarry and Charlie Clouser - American Horror Story Theme 15/ Quintessa // Yoko Shimomura - Hikari (Kingdom Orchestra Instrumental Version) 13/ Taahino // BanYa - Beethoven Virus (Nightcore) 12/ Ultraviolenceland // Ennio Morricone - The Good, The Bad And The Ugly 11/ Kluminican Republic // Hans Zimmer and John Powell - Oogway Ascends 10/ Hushkanukia // David Brockett - The Last Stand 09/ Terra Avium // Lights & Motion - The Spectacular Quiet 08/ Federal Republic of Ashton // Ludovico Einaudi - Le Onde 07/ Cadelicia // ZUN - U.N.

October 12, 20168 yr Author 2/39 / Mulgracia http://i.imgur.com/x6scV04.png Mulgracia have sent Swiss DJ and NoCopyrightSounds signee Glude with his second original song (it looks like) 'Breathe'. Glude's first upload to his SoundCloud was a remix of 'Yellow' by Coldplay.

October 12, 20168 yr Ooh excellent! :wub: Thanks so much James for lifting me off 0 in such a way *.* Medal position :heart:
October 12, 20168 yr Author 3/39 / FSR Rontvia http://i.imgur.com/3RtQiXN.png FSR Rontvia's entry is the most obscure of them all, being a song Rich had to upload to the Internet himself! It's 'Chase The Sun' by German (?) DJ duo (?) Sonority, originating from a sampler CD of long-defunct website Peoplesound. Little other information is known about it, apart from the fact it's currently yet to get any points. 18 Points: Cadelicia // ZUN - U.N. Owen Was Her? 15 Points: Alteria // Teenage Fanclub - Is This Music? 13 Points: Federal Republic of Ashton // Ludovico Einaudi - Le Onde 12 Points: Suedeonia // Blancmange - Sad Day 11 Points: Séyetana // Ken Arai - Next To You 10 Points: South Danaelanda // Steve Hill and Technikal – Technique 9 Points: Mulgracia // Glude - Breathe 8 Points: Taahino // BanYa - Beethoven Virus (Nightcore) 7 Points: Skall // Fatima Yamaha - What's A Girl To Do 6 Points: Medhelnia // Mark Knight – Yebisah 5 Points: Niceland // Arpadys - Monkey Star 4 Points: Flynnonda // Melvv – Reflection 3 Points: Fljótavík // Underworld - And I Will Kiss (feat.

More big points to Suedeonia move them up to fourth, and 15 points to Alteria puts them right back in the top 10, completing the top 5. > Federal Republic of Ashton also return to the top 10 at #6. Quintessa, Persephonia and Ultraviolenceland are out of the top 10 (although at least we got a couple more points). > Séyetana, Mulgracia, Skall, Medhelnia and Niceland are off the mark.
October 12, 20168 yr Thanks Grant! Going to be on and off for a little bit, still at Uni now and I'm leaving pretty soon but I'll try to keep up on my phone (data allowing) on my way back. #hype
October 12, 20168 yr Thanks James and Grant :wub: Edit: and Rich too :wub: Edited October 12, 20168 yr by HarryEzra
October 12, 20168 yr Cheers for the point Rich! *.* (Hooray at my countryball making an appearance so early by the way!)
October 12, 20168 yr Author 4/39 / Taahino http://i.imgur.com/U4r4SsF.png Following the entire 42 minutes of Vivaldi's 'The Four Seasons' not quite being deemed appropriate for this contest :') Taahino switched to a more digestible 3-minute classical-flavoured track with a bit of a twist ~ it's a nightcore (ask Iz) version of 'Beethoven Virus', created by South Korean group BanYa for the 'Pump It Up' video game series. (I've never heard of it either). As the title suggests it's based on the work of Beethoven, specifically his Piano Sonata No. 8 in C minor, Op. 13 (definitely knew that without Wikipedia). And as if the ongoing Bulgarian takeover of BJSC 89 wasn't enough, the violin player on this is Diana Boncheva, another Bulgarian. Anyway, it's a bit of a bonkers entry but it's paying off so far as it is currently winning, let's see how badly Taahino shoot themselves in the foot... (hopefully very badly, because of subjecting me to Comic Sans) 18 to Aelandor 15 to Pupok 13 to Avalonia 12 to Alteria 11 to Ultraviolenceland 10 to Dobago 09 to Lomaja 08 to Hushkanukia 07 to Jadakissnia 06 to Niceland 05 to Cor Lupus 04 to Terra Avium 03 to Altyr Muunilinst 02 to Federal Republic of Ashton 01 to Deandria http://66.media.tumblr.com/0a958bd8c9f5907fb56d7b928e502321/tumblr_mkjtfrMqAP1s1vm9po1_500.png http://66.media.tumblr.com/98c308db88f5a5561f06149c916ce465/tumblr_na79hwjquC1tjs7tko1_1280.jpg ty oh look rainbow font this was taahino btw http://i.imgur.com/WXqftOG.png http://i.imgur.com/zI1ZsWc.png http://i.imgur.com/U4r4SsF.png http://i.imgur.com/036vi2b.png http://i.imgur.com/X0tsKnk.png 01 41 Pupok // César Dávila-Irizarry and Charlie Clouser - American Horror Story Theme 02 33 Alteria // Teenage Fanclub - Is This Music? 03 27 Taahino // BanYa - Beethoven Virus (Nightcore) 04 25 Cadelicia // ZUN - U.N.
