Pop Open Group H: DEATH

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Oh Death, where is thy tick? Five tracks from beyond the veil, available to you in a bijou 20Mb Sendspace download (http://www.sendspace.com/file/rjhg2y) or streamed over at Freaky Trigger: http://freakytrigger.co.uk/ft/2007/07/pop-open-week-4/ (make sure you play each track individually - the default seems to be track 5)

As ever, you can vote for your two favourites, but only out of the tracks you didn't already know. Reveals on Thursday, and voting closes at 12 noon (UK time) next Monday.

[Poll #1014583]

Eagle-eyed players might notice that this group was originally announced as having six players, one of whom was me. I have pulled out, because I think there's a player short in Violence, so I will fill that gap instead. Just as well for me, as I'd not have won against this lot.

Thanks to this week's players: kill_yr_idols, mackromackro, mippy, poptasticuk and stevem78.

And of course...what would YOU have entered?

Track One was a great start until the babyish second vocal kicked in, and I went right off it.

Track Two I know because one of my favourite bands covered it, and I sought out the original. It might have been one of my two, as it's pretty funny in a goofy way. 577kbs!!!!

Track Three is brilliant. I can't decide whether it's more like the calculated eurosynth of Kraftwerk or a Harold Faltermeyer soundtracked love scene from a dodgy mid-eighties action film.

Track Four was just too Alvin and the Chipmunks for me. I understand the appeal, but I'd rather be listening to Del Shannon's Runaway if you're going to start with that intro.

Track Five's spooky style really grabbed me too. It's familiar, but I can't put my finger on artist or song title and I think if I did hear it before the chanting wasn't against a gorgeous Wally Scott-esque orchestration.
