First off... I think rule 1 should be scrapped, there are far too many good songs that would lose out if that rule was enforced, especially when 'Other' music is concerned . A long song/big file notice would probably be enough warning if needed.

King Apparatus - Stupid

This is ok, I'm a bit into ska so that helps. I've always imagined this style to be called City-Ska (that's just my own genre name which makes sense to me), just because of the minor chords rather than the 'happy' major chord stuff.

The guitar/guitar and guitar/keyboard interplay in the intro and 'solo' is pretty cool, but I dont like how it ends. I can't find much else to say about it... It wasn't bad, but it just didn't move me much.

====================================

I recommend:

Cynic - Sentiment

I have no idea what style to call this, their other stuff is technical death metal, but this song is so different, almost as if it's music from some alien race. There are still slight metal elements, but not the brutal, angry, or agressive stuff.
It was released in 1993 and is still probably one of the most futuristic songs I've ever heard.

no link, but it should be easy enough to find on those programs you use, I use IRC, Undernet has plenty of places to get it, just try any metal channels... then theres kazaa, soulseek and all those, which probably would have it too.
