Liking this round most by far; the injustice here is that I can't vote for all five. Several sound like one genre while having a touch of another. E.g., first track is straight-up funk but feels African, somehow, something loping in its motion. Second is powerful Dance-Oriented-Rock but with tinkle melody stuff in the background that reminds me of Crime Mob (a scrappy crunk group, not art school like these people). Third track starts like debutante country but gets boshier and boshier as it continues and things go worse for the heroine. Reminds me of that Stones song ("Flight 505"), where Mick is feeling restless so he books a flight to anywhere and ends up in the middle of the sea. Track Four is a good little lounge bossa nova, track five is powerful and grimey and I'm with it.

Ha! Funny you should say African, for the first.

Lucky I'm not voting in this b/c I'd have no idea how to interpret knowing/not knowing some of these.

- One of them is by someone I seem to be alone in being sceptical about, and which I only recognised b/c someone quoted a lyric of it to me yesterday. I had never heard it though and would not have recognised the singer.

- One of them I know b/c I was sent a beardo disco album the other week with a cover/re-edit of it on it, inc credits of the original. This may not even be the original actually, it may be another cover/remix of it! But I know the song.

- One of them is by a singer I recognised instantly, but a song I don't know.

- One of them has a very uh idiosyncratic title, and a recognisable singer - I was intending to track it down when it was released but never got round to it. I can work it out but had never heard it before.

- And the other one is mine, and I prefer it to all the others :)

Obviously those aren't in order!

OR ARE THEY!

(They're not.)
