type fast type fast type fast type fast type fast only had time for one listen, mine was TRACK FIVE as Alex figuered out. Guess who did the sample? (Well, there were two samples, one was Schoolly D, the other was _____?) (Alex, I haven't played my home game yet, although in my heart I think of every game as a home game, home being where the heart is.)
Only listened once.
Winners: --TRACK NINE: These wacky Eastern Europeans (interesting that they do tend to go for wacky, and they score big with me). The rhythm almost reminds me of "Cool Jerk." This is where Alex and I converge. --TRACK SEVEN: This is where Alex and I diverge. Great guitar-slinging, a slashing riff style that goes back to "Susie Q" and has been used recently by Franz Ferdinand and John Shanks (on Ashlee's "Boyfriend"). One of the few good examples of males singing well in this style, which I'd call post-Britney/post-Savage Garden. (Maybe it is even Darren Hayes.) --TRACK SIX: Is this what in your language you call the happy hardcore? Good car-shriek rhythm, lots of fun, though the "Died In Your Arms Tonight" bit makes me wish I were listening to "Died In Your Arms Tonight." --TRACK TEN: Not sure what all that weird sliding-up-and-down thing from the orchestra is for, but it's a very nice orchestral track that actually loses something when the skillful singing enters. --TRACK TWO: In a dead heat with TRACK ONE for may last win spot. What poptimists tend to be calling bosh, which seems to mean it's from the clompier end of Europop. Problem with these, and with this one, to some extent, is that way too often the melody isn't as melodic enough to carry the track. (A message to Celine haterz: she'd have sung this far better, found all the juice in the melody.) I prefer more standard Europop, by which I mean the line from "Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep" to Baltimora to Fun Fun to Aqua/Toy-Box/"Mambo No. 5," which is just brimming in tuneful hooks and melodies.
