NickD Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 That was tough voting... I had to make a list just to keep track. I could have easily picked a further 3 too, there's some great stuff there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilbo Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I used to love a gatefold sleeve, even better if it was triple etc. The artwork enhanced the experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 A real bumper crop having a lot of difficulty choosing between 3 or 4 definite outstanders. They're all good though, well done to all concerned! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skol303 Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 [quote name='the boy' timestamp='1456230081' post='2986795'] Gatefold...... I haven't heard that for years. [/quote] I love a good gatefold! Was sorting out my old record collection recently... bliss. Although I'd forgotten some of the dilemmas involved: sort by album title or artist name; sub-divide into genres; separate singles from LPs? Etc. You don't get such opportunities for anal retention with MP3s, that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I've been working my way through the tracks & it's gonna be hard to choose just 3! Superb stuff all round. Many of the best albums I had were in gatefold covers. I remember when I bought Marillion's Script for a Jester's Tear on vinyl & when I got home, I found that the person in Woolies had put 2 copies of the record in (they must t have thought it was a double album). Swapped the 2nd copy without the cover for Love but The Cult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykesbass Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Oi you lot, sort it out, I'm not halfway through and already got four definites. Can I have some back from when I didn't cast three votes please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Just listened to them all, this is very difficult! I won't go on about who I'm voting for but just wanted to say, Bilbo, ‘Motion Capture’ is ace! I loved the groove from the start and the lead playing along with the trumpet sound is perfect on top! Very impressive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykesbass Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 So, a shortlist of seven - I hate you lot this month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cato Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Three votes is not enough. I could have flipped a coin for two of my choices and happily gone with completely different tracks. Impressive stuff right across the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, 9 votes cast on here, 121 cast on the EU referendum. Is it worth moving the competition to Off Topic on Eurochat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the boy Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Voted.... I actually fell asleep listening to one of the songs that got my vote. What does that say for the rest of them. Only joking I've been up all night working and I must admit I dozed off whilst having a listen. I voted for the song as it was my favourite so no bad reflection. Very hard choice. Every song this month had merit but unfortunately we must make a choice so I voted for my top three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
