01.26.19 | NOBODY EXPECTS THE JAZZ INQUISITION |
bgillesp
01.26.19 | Ooh, fun round. Butch has the win in the bag but I think I can survive |
Storm In A Teacup
01.26.19 | Oh no |
MarsKid
01.26.19 | Papa wasn't sure if he wanted back in then casually struts into a placing. The universal scale of this lad. |
bgillesp
01.26.19 | Punny |
Papa Universe
01.26.19 | UP YOURS, UZ! |
Storm In A Teacup
01.26.19 | Well it was fun! Thanks for the good time! |
Papa Universe
01.26.19 | so no 3-word titles either? |
MarsKid
01.26.19 | Lots of twists and turns so far, but I think the people left here are the ones that have shown they can survive.
Zombie and Sint always bring the goods.
bg and Steak have consistency
butch comes waits in the background and comes in clutch
neek literally lived on the margins and then became a top threat
And now Papa has another shot. |
MarsKid
01.26.19 | And if I see a 3, we're in trouble. |
Papa Universe
01.26.19 | 3 |
MarsKid
01.26.19 | Papa (-100000000) is ELIMINATED |
Papa Universe
01.26.19 | oh so I am? then I guess you won't mind this:
|
Uzumaki
01.26.19 | Fantastic job, fellas. I'll be eagerly following along with the rest of the competition to see how it all plays out. |
MarsKid
01.26.19 | There always is a delete function...
But hey, kid, ya got style. I'll let you use it in the comments. Once we move on to your album, though? I'm bringing the jumper cables. |
Uzumaki
01.26.19 | @Papa: mwah. |
MarsKid
01.26.19 | I'm glad everyone has enjoyed the experience thus far, by the way. Deadline will be next Friday, so take the time you need! |
Storm In A Teacup
01.26.19 | 😭😭😭 |
Uzumaki
01.26.19 | I'll take a 3.75/5 any day for a genre I don't know squat about.
Thanks Mars. Can't wait to do this again. |
MarsKid
01.26.19 | I figured black metal could be a rough patch, but I was surprised how well most people handled it. I feel bad for kalk, but he shoulda known Rabbit Junk was never gonna fly a second time. |
MarsKid
01.26.19 | [okay I deleted the excessive 3's so that the page would be normal] |
bgillesp
01.26.19 | So three word titles and three word band names? Allowed or no? |
neekafat
01.26.19 | Fuck yessssssss comeback of the century, glad you dug it mars (: Ironically I listen to black metal probably the least out of everyone, but I do love me some melodic stuff and blackened death
And Jazz Fusion fuck yes all my years of listening to Chicago are gonna pay off
Also, can we rec the third track from an album if it otherwise has nothing to do with three? |
neekafat
01.26.19 | also you better not rate anything with a 3.... |
MarsKid
01.26.19 | I'll allow titles and band names. I figure if I didn't, that would be very restrictive to anyone unfamiliar with the genre. Everything else counts. |
bgillesp
01.26.19 | If I make it that far, I hope I get to a Blues round |
neekafat
01.26.19 | instrumental jazz fusion is kinda gonna be rough but it'd be easier than so many of the other genres |
SteakByrnes
01.26.19 | Oh fuck yea we still in it bois :]]
Also this round will be fun for me, I love instrumental jazz fusion so I can get you something noice hopefully |
neekafat
01.26.19 | Good thing I just jammed that Kasami Washington album (; |
neekafat
01.26.19 | a lot of jazzfusion I know has like slight vocal harmonies but there's no lyrics, they're just moaning along with the melodies, can that count as instrumental still? |
MarsKid
01.26.19 | Sorry my man, lips have got to be sealed. |
kalkwiese
01.26.19 | Yea, I know my picks were flawed, but that's really all I know about Black Metal *shrugs*
I'm surprised you didn't like the RJ track tbh, this track and the rest of that EP are regarded as some of their best material. And, yea, Alcest is certainly NOT villainous, lol. I'm glad you liked the openee though, that shit bangs m/ |
Storm In A Teacup
01.26.19 | I phoned in Black Metal cuz I though my three or four 1st place finishes would carry me through the shitty round. |
MarsKid
01.26.19 | You got cocky and you got got, my friend. Can't be caught sleeping. |
Storm In A Teacup
01.26.19 | I probably would not have even made a submission if it were a full length album lol that would have been torture |
Uzumaki
01.28.19 | And dormant this is... |
bgillesp
01.28.19 | Yeah this one is gonna take me a while. Gotta get real serious from here on out |
neekafat
01.28.19 | What you mean your lips have to be sealed? |
Uzumaki
01.28.19 | Looking forward to seeing everybody’s albums. |
MarsKid
01.28.19 | "What you mean your lips have to be sealed?"
The round specifically calls for absolutely no vocals of any kind. This includes the entire range of things like humming to sampled monologues. The vocal chords, regardless of how they're employed, cannot be used at this time. |
Uzumaki
01.28.19 | How’s the snow down by you, Mars? |
neekafat
01.28.19 | ah fuck me |
neekafat
01.28.19 | Sorry I misread that, I thought you were deliberately being ambiguous lol |
MarsKid
01.28.19 | We've only gotten two real instances of snowfall thus far, and each one was far from notable. Where are you from?
And I'm always up to answering questions to clear any confusion, it's no prob my man. |
neekafat
01.28.19 | < 3 |
Uzumaki
01.28.19 | I’m North of your border, right smack dab in the middle of this winter storm, AKA Sheboygan |
MarsKid
01.28.19 | Ah, a maple-leaf-suckin' Canadian. I got a feeling the weather up there is a smidgen cooler than it is down here haha |
Sinternet
01.28.19 | oh shit didn't see this, glad you liked it (i was contemplating switching twelve out for god alone or burnt year but decided not to mess with in the end), rip storm though
this should be a toughie regardless |
MarsKid
01.28.19 | Black metal caught a few people sleepwalking. It'll only get harder from here, gents, but I've got faith you all will deliver quality |
Uzumaki
01.28.19 | Since when did Wisconsin become part of Canada?!?!?! |
Uzumaki
01.28.19 | AND WHY HASN’T ANYONE TOLD ME YET?!?!?! |
butcherboy
01.29.19 | dibbing Coltrane's Compassion, and Miles Davis' Ghetto Walk.. |
neekafat
01.29.19 | Okay so get this, 14-minute long improvisational and instrumental jazz fusion closer, at one point by the end the singer sings "Woah, thank you people!" which i think is thematically a great way to end an all-instrumental jazz album imo but if that disqualifies me I'll nix it, I just can't think of a better way to end the album |
MarsKid
01.29.19 | If someone is using their vocal chords, it is out of the question. |
Papa Universe
01.29.19 | when's the deadline? |
MarsKid
01.29.19 | This coming Friday |
bgillesp
01.29.19 | I may throw this together on Friday on the bus ride to my track meet |
Papa Universe
01.29.19 | okay. before i rec you something i first have to find out what the hell that jazz fusion actually even is. |
Pheromone
01.29.19 | any competition needs fans - go butch m/ |
butcherboy
01.29.19 | pinky out! |
bgillesp
02.01.19 | Bump for a reminder to do this today |
Papa Universe
02.01.19 | nah i'm out. nothing to rec |
Uzumaki
02.01.19 | Wow. Just... wow. |
bgillesp
02.01.19 | Papi, just ask butcherboy to give you his leftovers then. That’ll be good enough for 2nd place |
MarsKid
02.01.19 | Hey y'all, I'm extending the deadline an extra day. The site crapped out for a long while there so I understand if things got disrupted in the interim. You've got until Saturday now gents.
Papa, if you drop out after redemption, I'd be pretty upset. |
bgillesp
02.01.19 | Track 1. Herbie Hancock- Rain Dance (9:19)
Track 2. Chon- Fluffy (2:59)
Track 2 and Heif. Mestis- Pura Vida (4:51)
Track 4. Plini- Flaneur (6:00)
Track 5. Miles Davis- John McLaughlin (4:27)
Track 6. Mahavishnu Orchestra- Vital Transformation (6:15)
Track 7. Niechec- Metanol (6:05)
Track 8. Snaggle- Snaggle #7 (8:19)
Total- 48:15
These times are the ones I got if I googled the track. For example, track 7 is 6:04 on Bandcamp but the time when I googled it was 6:05. I used googled times for all to stay consistent. Pretty proud of my recs this round |
Papa Universe
02.01.19 | wait a second, jazz fusion isn't just jazz. why's Miles Davis up there? or am I missing something |
bgillesp
02.01.19 | He had some fusion years |
bgillesp
02.01.19 | John McLaughlin was a fusion genius who worked with Mahavishnu Orchestra on the track that follows in my album. See what I did there? |
Uzumaki
02.01.19 | Hancock’s “Headhunters” is a fantastic album of jazz fusion. I honestly like it a tiny bit more than Davis’ “Bitches Brew”. |
Papa Universe
02.01.19 | i've no idea what i made, but here comes:
A. BADBADNOTGOOD - Speaking Gently
B. Kazumi Watanabe - Venetian
C. Eduardo Agni - Red
D. Gong - Master Builder
E. Soft Machine - Bundles
F. Isotope - Pipe Dream
G. Kamasi Washington - Truth
runtime: 42:40 |
SteakByrnes
02.01.19 | This has been a much tougher round than I expected. The runtime and the no vocals at all rule are fucking me over |
butcherboy
02.01.19 | I’ll submit mine tonight |
SteakByrnes
02.01.19 | Uni that's a lot of 3s... |
Papa Universe
02.01.19 | well, let's see your list, genius |
SteakByrnes
02.01.19 | It's not done yet :3 |
Papa Universe
02.01.19 | well, then list your list and then complain, ya ganglincunt |
SteakByrnes
02.01.19 | I will fuckin kiss you my friend |
Papa Universe
02.01.19 | I will kiss you harder. Come at me, you lovely twat draling! |
SteakByrnes
02.01.19 | *big smooch* |
neekafat
02.01.19 | "The runtime and the no vocals at all rule are fucking me over"
runtime ain't bad but yeah the vocals rule sucks |
Papa Universe
02.01.19 | shit, forgot about the 'no vocals' rule |
bgillesp
02.01.19 | Papi said screw the rules |
Papa Universe
02.01.19 | all corrected, but there is one tiny detail about my album to fuck with Marsie |
bgillesp
02.02.19 | What detail is that? |
Papa Universe
02.02.19 | you'll see |
MarsKid
02.02.19 | Last day to submit fellas. Missing five of seven. |
bgillesp
02.02.19 | If nobody else submits, is this the championship round? |
bgillesp
02.02.19 | I still wanna do a blues round but I don’t mind dropping some of the others now |
SteakByrnes
02.02.19 | Sorry this is so late, I did the best with what I could
1. Plini - Opening
2. Chon - Continue?
-. Mestis - Menta
4. Animals As Leaders - The Woven Web
5. Owane - Saturday Ends
6. Sithu Aye - The Noticing
7. Polyphia - Crush
This was the hardest round because of the restrictions and rules |
bgillesp
02.02.19 | Nice one Steak. I went half of mine down your vibe but then flowed it into more 70s fusion |
bgillesp
02.02.19 | Actually I sorta ebbed and flowed between 70s and 10s, but I think it works |
Uzumaki
02.02.19 | I’ll gladly take someone’s spot if they drop because of inactivity. |
SteakByrnes
02.02.19 | Yea I thought ours would be somewhat similar bg lol |
MarsKid
02.02.19 | I might keep this open for the whole weekend just to be sure everyone gets in. |
butcherboy
02.02.19 | mine is coming in an hour.. sorry, busy times.. who else is left.. |
butcherboy
02.02.19 | alright, here we go:
John Coltrane - Compassion
Tony Williams - Vashkar
Alphonze Mouzon - Macrobian
Donald Byrd - Emperor
Archie Shepp - Blues for Brother George Jackson
Alice Coltrane - Journey in Satchidananda
Pharoah Sanders - You've Got to Have Freedom |
bgillesp
02.03.19 | Clearly the winning lineup if there are no broken rules |
butcherboy
02.03.19 | you never know, gilly.. i've only placed in the top three in genres I don't listen to.. maybe because I let go of what I think is good, and just go for pure instinct.. |
neekafat
02.03.19 | I'll do my best to get this in tonight Mars, love you |
MarsKid
02.03.19 | Take Sunday if need be. Was a rough/busy week for everyone it seems, me included. No worries. |
neekafat
02.03.19 | 1. Shô! - “Just a Begining Part 1”
2. Christian Scott - “Videotape”
-. Kamasi Washington - “The Invincible Youth”
4. GoGoPenguin - “Return to Text”
5. Mathias Eick - “Girlfriend”
6. Miles Davis - “Miles Runs the Voodoo Down”
7. Chicago - “Aire”
The 1st track is only found on bandcamp, I figured it'd be easiest for you to make it first so that it wouldn't interrupt the flow if you decided to put the rest onto Spotify, but it also makes a hell of an opener imo |
neekafat
02.03.19 | WAIT FUCK |
neekafat
02.03.19 | Okay changed it to best suit the number that shall not be named rule but I have no idea how I could've followed it more given my limited knowledge of the genre so I tried my best |
bgillesp
02.03.19 | 2 is a great track neek |
neekafat
02.03.19 | Just discovered it for this it's so good |
bgillesp
02.03.19 | bump to be a good sport to the holdouts |
MarsKid
02.04.19 | Missing Sinternet still. Zombie said due to personal circumstances he may not make it this round, so if he is unable then it is expected. |
Sinternet
02.04.19 | oh uhh ill try and try and get something done in the next 24 hours if thats fine. had an extremely busy week |
MarsKid
02.04.19 | Hell, I've been lenient. if nobody's complaining then I have no qualms trying to make sure everyone gets in. I know it's contradictory to not stand by my deadlines, but inactivity deaths are a buzzkill. Don't want to see more of those. |
Sinternet
02.04.19 | ok think i've got the closest to what I can do with the insane requirement haha
brand x - smacks of euphoric hysteria
herbie hancock - vein melter
miles davis - sanctuary
jeff beck - scatterbrain
niechec - niespokojny relaks
sun ra - door of the cosmos
buckethead - super human |
bgillesp
02.04.19 | Craaaaaaap. I made an 8 track album. Is it too late for me to take one out Mars? |
bgillesp
02.04.19 | I remember thinking my clever way to avoid track 3 was gonna be going 1,2,4,5,6,7,8. But then I forgot I didn’t need 8 tracks |
bgillesp
02.04.19 | Dang it. It shouldn’t screw with the flow too much to take out Vital Transformation, so do that if you’ll allow the last minute change. |
neekafat
02.05.19 | I spent 2 hours on this before realizing I forgot the #3 rule so mine only half follows it now |
SteakByrnes
02.05.19 | Lmao what a good round |
neekafat
02.05.19 | Yeah bye guys I guess |
Uzumaki
02.05.19 | Can’t wait to read the results when Mars judges y’all. |
bgillesp
02.05.19 | Literally went days without anyone letting me know I forgot a rule. Hmph :( |
neekafat
02.05.19 | I don't check everyones recs bgill I'm sorryyyyy |
bgillesp
02.05.19 | I was mostly kidding :) |
neekafat
02.05.19 | So was I... mostly (; |
butcherboy
02.05.19 | wait, I also posted 8.. what a dummy.. Mars, just ignore the opening track, please and thank you.. |
MarsKid
02.05.19 | Gonna check with Zombie, then I'll start organizing things. Apologies, this round may take some time, but the game will endure! |
ZombieToyDuck
02.05.19 | well it looks like no judgment has been passed maybe I'm not too late?
1. Billy Cobham- Stratus [Spectrum] 9:50
2. Flying Lotus- Tesla [You're Dead!] 1:54
-. The Mackrosoft- First Bite [Snakerrhythms] 4:56
4. Return to Forever- The Romantic Warrior [The Romantic Warrior] 10:52
5. Santana- Waiting [Santana] 4:04
6. John Scofield- Chank [A Go Go] 6:47
7. Herbie Hancock- Sly [Head Hunters] 10:21
Total : 48:44 |
MarsKid
02.05.19 | Judging will officially begin then! Hopefully going to wrap this up by the weekend. |
MarsKid
02.05.19 | If it helps to tide you over, I'll have you know the next round is gonna be a fun one! |
neekafat
02.05.19 | If I have time to change my recs to better fit the rules until then can I? If you haven't listened to mine yet by then I mean? |
MarsKid
02.05.19 | Get it in quick bucko |
neekafat
02.05.19 | any idea about how much we might get knocked down for not following the #3 rule? |
neekafat
02.05.19 | 1. Shô! - “Just a Begining Part 1” [2:56]
2. Christian Scott - “Videotape” [4:40]
-. Kamasi Washington - “The Invincible Youth” [9:54] (this is one of those shitty ones where Spotify says it's 9:53 and 9:54 depending on the page but on the playlist one it's 9:54)
4. GoGoPenguin - “Window” [5:21]
5. Mathias Eick - “Girlfriend” [5:14] (YouTube version)
6. Miles Davis - “Miles Runs the Voodoo Down” [14:01]
7. Chicago - “Aire” [6:27]
|
bgillesp
02.06.19 | Okay, take out the Mahavishnu Track from mine so it grits the rules then Mars. Thanks. |
MarsKid
02.06.19 | Consider yourselves locked in starting now. |
bgillesp
02.06.19 | Thanks but I didn’t put that 3 in. You did, so no counting off right? |
MarsKid
02.06.19 | Fuck. Gotta disqualify myself now boys |
bgillesp
02.06.19 | Haha, thanks |
neekafat
02.06.19 | I'll take over as judge (: |
Uzumaki
02.06.19 | Thanks for playing, Mars, and stick around.... |
neekafat
02.06.19 | lmaoooooooo |
Papa Universe
02.09.19 | So how's the progress? |
MarsKid
02.09.19 | 4 down y'all. Liking what I'm hearing so far. Having weird sound issues with my laptop so progress got stalled a bit. |
Storm In A Teacup
02.09.19 | I would have won. You are all playing for second place. =) |
MarsKid
02.10.19 | Your bm album wasn't a laptop problem, I think the whole thing was an audio issue from the get-go ; ) |
Storm In A Teacup
02.10.19 | what the fuck is a laptop problem? |
Storm In A Teacup
02.10.19 | oh and if papa can bludgeon and jizz his way back into this so can i |
Storm In A Teacup
02.10.19 | all my victories earned me a bye week, that's all this is... |
Uzumaki
02.10.19 | Sit down, Storm and wait your damn turn. |
MarsKid
02.10.19 | And just as I said things were going well, someone just killed any chance they had of winning...
The theme was broken. |
Uzumaki
02.10.19 | Oooooooooh......
Pins and needles! |
MarsKid
02.10.19 | Wait, someone ELSE did it too! Well fuck me, this makes for a close decision then. |
Sinternet
02.10.19 | oh shit yeah one of m,y tracks has vocals oh well
it was enormously hard to find anything that fit the criteria on short notice unfortunately |
Storm In A Teacup
02.10.19 | RIP SIN |
Sinternet
02.10.19 | in my defence, i will point out that some of the choices made are not really jazz fusion at all |
Storm In A Teacup
02.10.19 | That could be said every round lol |
Storm In A Teacup
02.10.19 | I loved how post harcore dominated the prog round |
Sinternet
02.10.19 | haha true |
Sinternet
02.10.19 | fuck you mars me and storm are gonna make our own round as the undeniable best competitors |
MarsKid
02.10.19 | I'll post results later today. Sit tight. Hope you all have been playing a lot of games lately. |
bgillesp
02.10.19 | Noooooo. Pls don’t give us nintendocore for the next genre. |
kalkwiese
02.10.19 | It's gonna be classical |
MarsKid
02.10.19 | Not quite...
