5 pts - @Snap ;;;;;;; I like the driving beat of the drums (particularly the snare sample) and how the track takes its time to build up.
3 pts - @stratman3142 ;;;;;;; Great intro leading up to the main theme. Boss-level solo to carry the track.
1 pt - @BahHumbug Totally chill; I love the melodies + the effect you're using on the guitar (sounds like it's being doubled by an analogue synth?)
3pts @Springywheel just a cool vibe and a good resolution towards the end
1pt @fretmeister a bit of a Crazy Horse vibe going on here, but with better bass playing ace stuff
5pts @fretmeister ;
3pts @Springywheel ;
1pts @Habanero ;
5 Points to @Habanero Loved it. Funny, has a relatable story (I like that in lyrics) and I love Curry to the point where the work should always have a capital letter. Hail Curry! Humour should be in more songs.
3 points: @MagicPigDetective Really close between this and 1st place. It does need vocals (get it done man - none of us on here are Pavarotti) but the feel, the grindy tight sloppiness is just ace. Loved the solo near the end - a proper thick and chewy approach that has more life than any widdle fest. I want to hear this again when it has some vox. Of if you like, if you write them I'll try and sing them for you if you aren't put off by my singing.
1 point: @Snap Quite unusual. A bit like Vangelis had dirty shenanigans with Nine Inch Nails for the early part of the tune. 2nd part of the intro when the drums turned up was excellent. I went back to the beginning to hear it again before listening to the rest.

@fretmeister ; I'll see what I can do about a vocal........
5 points : @Snap : Slow build, pulsing bass leading to aggressive drums. Dark and menacing. Would suit an epic sci-fi film.
3 points : @Springywheel : Spacey. A floating feel with inventive drums that avoid an obvious groove.
1 point : @BahHumbug : A laidback chilled out style. Nice and sparse. Creates a good understated atmosphere.
5 points: @Springywheel , cos I like that sort of thing
3 points: @fretmeister , well written, and kudos for vocal-ing
1 point: @stratman3142, very well put together and played. A bit of humour too
