5pts @stratman3142 - deffo had that floyd vibe
3pts @bezzer - love it...
So, um, 5 points for @stratman3142
if allowed ... 3 points for @poopot too cos it’s a great instrumental track until my last minute warble fucked it.
5 points for @stratman3142 - Nailed the Floyd vibe whilst maintaining the the melody of song (which is quite good when Bryan Ferry isn't singing it)
1 point @Bezzer - Nice work production wise, guitars and drums sounded right for that style but I wasn't grabbed by the vocals, do more classic rock!
Well done again guys, very tough and a shame that the winner did not enter, can one of you tag him in the OP so he votes on the entries?
5 points @Bezzer - seriously, what on earth was that?! That was slightly unexpected coming out of the speakers!! I'm guessing that's not how the original sounded!! Really well done and great fun, sort of Meshuggah meets Korn with some shred in the background. Great stuff!! (edit: it did actually make me laugh when it started!!)
3 points @stratman3142 - lovely arrangement and great tasteful playing and yes, very Floydy.
1 point @poopot - also very well done as per the other two, they just floated my boat a bit more. Great arrangement and really good vocals.
