  6. I've just remembered that the winning song by Archive was the replacement for Trigger Happy by Morcheeba which appeared on the original voting list until Jade pointed out that it had already been entered to Volume II.
  7. Well done, Addy. It's very pleasing to see Archive win a song contest even if it wasn't me who entered them this time. Thanks Jester for hosting and doing a great job with the results. I just crept into the top 10 at the end so I'm happier now than I was earlier. Thanks to all those who gave points to The Aloof.
  8. Thanks for the 10 points Julian, my best score so far. With the Archive entrant still to vote, this could still be very close.
  9. Fantastic song choice, Brer.
