FINAL of The Demos

[Sto]

Well, "Pick The Rare Flower" got 3 votes, whilst the 5 others got 1 each...and although we've only had 3 rounds, it's lasted ages, so each song is getting booted! Which makes this the final!

So please vote for your favourite out of:

Rinfy The Gypsy
Where Are The Lionhearts?

You can leave your votes on this post.

Now the question is, will we get more than 2 votes? Thanks to all the contributors

OK.

I'm voting for Where Are the Lionhearts as the winner here. I know the track as On the Rocks, and it's actually quite commercial. Some interesting lyrics, but the frequent lurches into high soprano are quite disconcerting. This is from the Pheonix demos which are the later ones I understand - you can tell by the fact that the song is well structured.

I do like the meandering Rinfy the Gypsy, which I know as Playing Canasta in Cold Rooms. I'm not at all sure the parts actually fit together, but it's quite adventurous. There's an early example here of a little Kate trademark, where she slips into a minor key for just one bar then goes straight back out again. Some good piano too. Musically it's better than Lionhearts, but it's not as good a song - if that makes sense.

Cheers Sto.

Cmon guys, help Sto out here!

Is this one going to be decided on 1 vote?!

[Adey]

Hmm so that's that then!

If it was your intention to compare album winner against album winner Sto, I'd give it a miss for a while until we've restored the membership.

LOL, thanks Adey! I will do my vote too, maybe in a week or so If Al' comes back (when is he due?) I s'pose he'll vote and we'll have a winner!

And I agree, I think the album .v. album is out of the question I'm afraid

I concur - and yes that makes perfect sense to me. Lionhearts is endearing as well as an early glimpse at her talent in raw form. Sorry Sto for being so long in responding.

So what's happening here? Is this just done? Are we never to know what the winner was, Sto!

[Sto]

Ah, sorry Zan!

Well I vote for "Where Are The Lionhearts?" too, it's an extremely subtle and beautiful piece of music with emotive lyrics which I'd love to hear a studio version of!But let's just work on the new album for now shall we...

Anyway, err yes Zan I guess that's it, it's lost a bit of momentum now though hasn't it? Someone should do a new game-y thing, I'm a bit too busy (final year...) to do something regular now, but maybe in the future?

Thanks for all the contributions over the year and a bit this was running Seems ages ago since we started it, doesn't it?...
