25/39 / Kluminican Republic

http://i.imgur.com/Vtz1qpz.png

 

Providing the shortest song in the contest at just over 2 minutes, Kluminican Republic opted for 'Oogway Ascends' from the soundtrack to 'Kung Fu Panda' (yes), by the legendary German composer Hans Zimmer (of actual UK top 40 hit 'Spider Pig' fame) and English composer John Powell. The opening track in the running order, it's presently in the upper bottom half of the scoreboard.

Wow I wasn't expecting it to do this well, makes my doubting earlier in the thread seem a tad silly.

 

Thank you to Klumzee, Chez and Burbe in particular for your excellent taste! :D

26/39 / Suedeonia

http://i.imgur.com/BRbe7zN.png

 

Suedeonia provided another retro song for this spinoff, English synthpop band Blancmange with 'Sad Day'. Two versions of the song exist - the one entered here is from a various artists compilation, 'Some Bizzare (sic) Album', but a re-recorded version featured on their 1982 debut studio album 'Happy Families'. It's another entry that seemed to peak early, being in the top 10 near the beginning but now in the bottom 10.

 

The Suedeonian people have voted. Unfortunately, the winning song proved to be so popular that it broke the telephone voting system. Therefore, we will never know just how many votes it would have won. The also-rans finished in this order.

 

12 ~ Taahino // BanYa - Beethoven Virus (Nightcore)

11 ~ Dobago // Eric Johnson - Cliffs Of Dover

10 ~ Republic of Adonia // Lone - Backtail Was Heavy

9 ~ Aeroche // AFX - PWSteal.Ldpinch.D

8 ~ Ethanola // Frank T.R.A.X. - Nebuchan (O.R.G.A.N. Mix)

7 ~ Avalonia // Thomas Bergersen - Empire Of Angels

6 ~ Séyetana // Ken Arai - Next To You

5 ~ Kluminican Republic // Hans Zimmer and John Powell - Oogway Ascends

4 ~ Skall // Fatima Yamaha - What's A Girl To Do

3 ~ Ultraviolenceland // Ennio Morricone - The Good, The Bad And The Ugly

2 ~ Terra Avium // Lights & Motion - The Spectacular Quiet

1 ~ FSR Rontvia // Sonority - Chase The Sun

 

That leaves the top three. In third place,

 

13 ~ Alteria // Teenage Fanclub - Is This Music? The Suedeonian people still appreciate some vintage stuff from the Fannies.

 

The runner-up was

 

15 ~ Ramrynia // Johan Liljedahl and Calle Rasmusson - The Grey People We fully expect the Daily Express to stop sending the three copies their paper sells in our country.

 

And the runaway winner,...

 

18 ~ Fljótavík // Underworld - And I Will Kiss (feat. Evelyn Glennie and The Pandemonium Drummers)

> Ramrynia get a big boost from Suedeonia, and now escape the bottom 2, leaving poor brave Thelonia as the last country on single figures. :'(

http://i.imgur.com/j57IgPu.png

 

Our much appreciated veto panel member and Spotify playlist curator (of the 3 songs from this contest that are even on Spotify), Syndare entered American group Beat Connection with 'Theme From Yours Truly' from their 2010 debut album 'Surf Noir'. Beat Connection previously represented ourselves in BJSC 34, sadly DNQing with 'In The Water' (from the same album). Syndare's offering is doing half decently, though in the lower half of the scoreboard. Maybe it's the cheeky vocal samples.

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

Thank you Syndare :wub: Not giving up hope on that top 10 just yet, although I'd be happy with anything within the top 20 - I get that my track is quite the acquired taste.

Right after Syndare is our other veto panel member Medhelnia. They've sent 'Yebisah' by English DJ Mark Knight who I'm told is LEGENDARY, and his history seems to back it up - he's apparently the second highest selling artist ever on Beatport, and has been nominated for a Grammy. Nonetheless, I'd never heard of him before. 'Yebisah' has been struggling to crack the top 10 but has never been too far outside, currently 13th. I wonder if it'd have done better or worse if they sent the full 8+ minute version.

a lot of votes for the usual suspects, but I really loved Klum and Iz's tracks, which breaks my usual routine of giving Dan maximum points. Cadelicia, Danaelanda, and Dobago all predictably get points thooooo

> The drama at the top end of the scoreboard calms a bit with the top 2 and Fljótavík not getting any points. Taahino pull slightly back ahead in 3rd, while 12 more points to Persephonia see us starting to pull ahead in 5th - the crowd approves.

> Deandria complete a top 10 that are now all over the 100 point mark.

> The eleventh placed song also crosses 100 - it's Dobago, who seem to have dark horsed their way up and haven't been mentioned much in these highlight reels! Thelonia get another handful of points but are still on single figures.
