October 12, 20168 yr Author 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. 18 // Fljotavik 15 // Taahino 13 // Ultraviolenceland 12 // Avalonia 11 // Mulgracia 10 // Hushkanukia 09 // Altyr Muunilinst 08 // Ashton 07 // Terra Avium 06 // Cadelicia 05 // Pupok 04 // Quintessa 03 // Aelandor 02 // Triangledonia 01 // Dobago Poor Seyetana & Cor Lupus just missing out on my points :( http://i.imgur.com/WWvQfHO.png http://i.imgur.com/US8fbAZ.png http://i.imgur.com/U4r4SsF.png http://i.imgur.com/YW5Zcbe.png http://i.imgur.com/TVlwDuY.png 01 189 Terra Avium // Lights & Motion - The Spectacular Quiet 02 177 Avalonia // Thomas Bergersen - Empire Of Angels 03 158 Taahino // BanYa - Beethoven Virus (Nightcore) 04 133 Fljótavík // Underworld - And I Will Kiss (feat.

October 12, 20168 yr this is a DISASTRO not that i expected any less - my 18th is currently not in the top 10 so i hope that changes!
October 12, 20168 yr 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
October 12, 20168 yr Author 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) http://i.imgur.com/WWvQfHO.png http://i.imgur.com/US8fbAZ.png http://i.imgur.com/U4r4SsF.png http://i.imgur.com/YW5Zcbe.png http://i.imgur.com/TVlwDuY.png 01 191 Terra Avium // Lights & Motion - The Spectacular Quiet 02 184 Avalonia // Thomas Bergersen - Empire Of Angels 03 170 Taahino // BanYa - Beethoven Virus (Nightcore) 04 151 Fljótavík // Underworld - And I Will Kiss (feat.

Taahino outpace both of them and are now just 14 points behind in 3rd. We are unmoved at #5, with the top 4 all pulling ahead. > Ramrynia get a big boost from Suedeonia, and now escape the bottom 2, leaving poor brave Thelonia as the last country on single figures. :'(

October 12, 20168 yr Author 27/39 / Syndare 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. 018 | Fljótavík // Underworld - And I Will Kiss (feat.

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 Edited October 12, 20168 yr by dandy*
October 12, 20168 yr 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.
October 12, 20168 yr Author 28/39 / Medhelnia http://i.imgur.com/LT3bBNy.png 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. 18 ` 01. Kluminican Republic // Hans Zimmer and John Powell - Oogway Ascends 15 ` 36.
