07.16.19 | Voting ends Friday. Gives you plenty of time to jam again! | e210013
07.16.19 | Ok, let's go to next phase. Let's go to know what are the next four albums that will survive. Good luck to everyone. | Jethro42
07.16.19 | My choices are clear, save the one concerning my entry. | bgillesp
07.16.19 | I can vote for 4, 5, and 8 with confidence right away. I need to try Pulsar again and compare it to Wallenstein before I decide there | TwigTW
07.16.19 | These are interesting match ups. Only one of them seems obvious to me. Looking forward to spinning them all again. | Divaman
07.16.19 | I have some idea which album I prefer in some of these contests. I'm still not sure which is my favorite of our eight remaining contestants, though. | TwigTW
07.16.19 | Coming back to it now, after a short rest, the Mercury Tree sounds even better than before. It continues to grow on me. | wham49
07.17.19 | 2,3,5,7 | bgillesp
07.17.19 | Maybe I ought to give The Mercury Tree another go, but Unreal City is my favorite of the year right now so it would have to grow a lot on me | Zig
07.17.19 | 2, 4, 5, 7. | TheNotrap
07.17.19 | 1, 3, 5

Hi SitarHero, just to clarify, did you listen to all six of those albums, 3 through 8? | Papa Universe
07.17.19 | Wallenstein - Mother Universe
withholding my vote
Wobbler - From Silence to Somewhere
Evership - II | Papa Universe
07.17.19 | Wobbler for me is the absolute winner of this entire tourney. | Jethro42
07.17.19 | indeed | Divaman
07.17.19 | Relistening to all eight of the contestants. Pretty much know who I want in three of the four contests, but I'll hold off on voting until I figure out the fourth. | Friday13th

07.18.19 | Evership or Tako...I'm about to toss a coin. | Friday13th
07.18.19 | I don't get why Trettioariga isn't more highly rated here. Sure, hard to beat Wobbler, but 3.2? It's much better than that. | Jethro42
07.18.19 | Most of these are still better than I thought. I've just bumped Mother Universe up to a 4, so i'm also in conflict between it and Halloween, atm. | e210013
07.18.19 | The matchups between 1 and 2 and 5 and 6 are easy to me because they've my two favourite albums of this year, "Halloween" and "From Silence To Somewhere". Of the matches 3 and 4 and 7 and 8 I prefer "La Crudelta Di Aprile" and "Evership II" because they're more in my favourite style of prog.
So, 2, 4, 5 and 7.
Yeah, I think we have an absolute winner of this entire tourney. | bgillesp
07.18.19 | Unreal City is the best in this whole year! Don’t let it lose guys :( | Friday13th
07.18.19 | Wallenstein: NoTrap, bgillesp, Papa, Sharktooth
Pulsar: wham, Zig, Casavir, Friday, e21
Mercury Tree: wham, Notrap, Casavir, Friday, SitarHero
Unreal City: bgillesp, Zig, e21
Wobbler: bgillesp, wham, Zig, Notrap, Sharktooth, Papa, Friday, SitarHero, e21
Trettioariga: Casavir
Evership: wham, Zig, Papa, e21
Tako: bgillesp, Sharktooth, Casavir, Friday | Friday13th
07.18.19 | To clarify, I'm letting anyone vote as long as they heard the pair! In other words, you can vote for 5 as long as you heard both 5 and 6. | Jethro42
07.18.19 | @bgillesp,
Glad that you appreciate La Crudelta di Aprile that much. I invite you to try their second album Il Paese Del Tramonto which is more mature, more harmonious. Guitarist is more confident, and their new bassman is really tight and more constant. I realized too late that it's a better album. That's why i didn't choose that one. | e210013
07.18.19 | Maybe. I need to check it too bro. Once I was very close to rate it with 4.5, I'm very curious about it, really. | Friday13th
07.18.19 | I agree with Jethro, the second Unreal City is slightly better. Btw, did you get to hear Mercury Tree's Spidermilk, Jethro? Weird album, right :D | Jethro42
07.18.19 | Cheers e21 and Friday. And yes, i've listened to Spidermilk. Permutations is more compact, more energetic. Spidermilk is sometimes subtle, sometimes extrovert in the same song. Need to revisit, but Permutations is hard to beat.
i have to go now, see you my friends! | Divaman
07.18.19 | My votes go to Pulsar, Unreal City, Wobbler and Evership.
The last one was the hardest. In the end, I felt that Evership nudged Tako out on the basis of "The Serious Room." The albums were roughly equal, but that's the standout track of the two. | Friday13th
07.19.19 | Wallenstein: NoTrap, bgillesp, Papa, Sharktooth

07.19.19 | 2, 4 , 5 , 8 | TwigTW
07.19.19 | The second match-up is a hard one. They are both great albums, but so different in sound. It's hard for me to compare them. Unreal City is beautiful, but Mercury Tree is so interesting. One is for the heart, and the other for the head. The Mercury Tree is the biggest grower for me in this competition. I like it more with every listen, so for that reason it gets my vote ...I vote for 2, 3, 5, 7.

07.19.19 | 2, 4, 5, 7 | Jethro42
07.19.19 | i was unable to choose between Mother Universe and Halloween. The former has grown on me during this elimination round, and most of the songs are great. My only gripe is when they go to the jam rock territory, but don't get me wrong, it's one of my favourite of the tourney. Halloween is an album I know since at least a decade, and i like its trippy, dreamy atmosphere, and in the future, I see me revisit it more than Mother Universe. Just as maybe... | Friday13th

Mercury Tree and Unreal City are neck and neck! | e210013
07.19.19 | It seems we have three winners and a problem. | Divaman
07.19.19 | Friday and Jethro might have to resolve it with a water balloon fight! | Jethro42
07.19.19 | Lmao
How much do I owe you Intruder ...? | Friday13th
07.19.19 | lol do they even have water balloons in the frozen wonderland of Canada? ;] | Divaman
07.19.19 | Jethro might be using ice balloons, a distinct advantage. | Jethro42
07.19.19 | Hahaha, I don't live in the north pole, American man! We're more neighbours than you think. i'm from Québec...South West. We're going through a heat wave, as you probably do... Where are you from, hot-water-balloon-bursting-out guy...? =p
LOL Diva, the Long Island music guy! Hot hot hot!!! | Divaman
07.19.19 | Heh heh | Friday13th
07.20.19 | jk Jethro, I'm in the midwest right around the middle of the US. I've never been to Quebec by my folks told me it was nice this time of year for their vacation. | Divaman
07.20.19 | I have, but not for many years. I'll be heading up in that direction tonight, but I'll only be going as far as Saugerties, NY. | Jethro42
07.20.19 | jk of course, Friday :) We are not so much neighbours, finally. Winter is rough up here. We can't practice water balloons' activity all the year long, so it's not fair! Lol
| Jethro42
07.20.19 | You lived in Québec, Diva? | TheIntruder
07.20.19 | "How much do I owe you Intruder ...?"
A fortune, lol | Divaman
07.20.19 | No, Jethro, I'm just saying I visited there a long time ago. When I was a much younger man, my friend, my brother and I took a road trip to various baseball stadiums. One of our stops was Olympic Stadium, to see the Montreal Expos. | TwigTW
07.20.19 | It's already 80 degrees here, and the sun's only just started to rise. I wouldn't complain if a couple of ice-cold water balloons were thrown my way...
It looks like the races are pretty much run, except for Mercury Tree/Unreal City. That one's going down to the wire. They are both great albums. It's too bad only one can win.
| Sabrutin
07.20.19 | We are all suffering the heat despite living in other sides of the world. Great news! | Friday13th
07.20.19 | I sent messages to those still missing. I'll give them till the end of today, and if we at least get a tie breaker by the end, I'll call it. | Jethro42
07.20.19 | @Divaman, nice project! The Montreal Expos had their glory days, but unfortunately, the team moved to Washington in 2004 I think. As for the Olympic Stadium, it's one of the most expensive amphitheatres on the planet. It's finished to being paid since couple of years. The total bill exceeds 2 billion dollards (or 4 billions, not sure) net.
@intruder, your help is priceless :) | MrSirLordGentleman
07.20.19 | I'll go with 2, 4 and 5. Won't vote on the last match since I haven't checked Evership yet | tmthycnnlly
07.20.19 | Having caught up on what we have here my votes are 2,3,5, and 7 | Friday13th

07.20.19 | Still 8-8 Mercury Tree v. Unreal City LOL | Jethro42
07.20.19 | Oh....No...This I can't belieeeeeve
Oh...Mary...They're asking us to leave | Papa Universe
07.21.19 | Unreal City | Friday13th
07.21.19 | Calling it!
Pulsar 13:4
Unreal City 9:8
Wobbler 17:1
Evership 10:5 | Divaman
07.21.19 | Razor thin margin there in that second contest. | TwigTW
07.21.19 | Wow, that was a close one, a great race from two great albums... Meanwhile, poor Krigssang. Trettioariga Kriget is a wonderful album. I really enjoy it, but could anyone go up against Wobbler and win? I guess we'll find out in the next rounds. | Jethro42
07.21.19 | @Friday
It saddens me you're not among the semi-finalists. The Mercury Tree would amply deserve it. Thanks for showing us these guys. | Friday13th
07.21.19 | @Jethro Don't worry, I'm not too bummed. I knew the Mercury Tree didn't have much chance against something like Wobbler or Pulsar anyways. I'm just glad most liked it and got to hear something different. I got to meet the guys from Mercury Tree when they played a show close by and we chatted about King Crimson, Rush and microtones. It was great haha
Likewise glad to get to know those two Unreal City albums! | Jethro42
07.21.19 | There's nothing like talking about music with musicians. Nice they took some time to share with you...I'm impressed :o
To show you how determinant a vote can be, I was close to vote against my entry. If I did, you would be to my place by now. As for your elimination, I see you have a pretty good attitude!...And glad you came to dig Unreal City, bro! | e210013
07.22.19 | My comment is a bit late but is a must to me.
First, I'm glad this was the most emotional and most interesting journey till now. Second, and as happened with Jethro, I must salute the attitude of our friend and organizer of these tourneys Friday due to his attitude. He demonstrated that he is a true sports man. My compliments. I'll take off my hat to him. Besides, the album he choses is a great album indeed. It's a pity, but only one them could move on. |
