maybe put some sidechain compression on the guitars so they can cut through a little better? Thanks, as soon as I know what that means, I'll give it a go ;) This song is also very familiar to me, like something that was in heavy rotation on 90s alt rock stations played in the same block as Barenake...

Some brief words on this fight Watching Owls : Well you certainly spurned the optional challenge. The instrumentation is atmospheric especially for the first 1.30 - the organ, the gentle strumming, the Gilmourish slide guitar touches. The way the tension starts building at 2.00 is really nice with t...

Well with Paco Del Stinko tying 2nd and only one vote behind, I hope the mix up with mp3 links didn't effect his tally

Calling Mods
I think the mp3 links for Paco Del Stinko and Lichen Throat songs have got switched around in the listing

Struggled with a song for a week before abandoning it and starting again at the weekend.
I wouldn't really call it dance music but you might jump around to it if you felt the inclination.

Material Change the pannacotta army I don’t need bias opinions I don’t need fake promises Let’s think about the future There’s so much more than this I wanna get moving, not wait I don’t wanna leave it too late I wanna turn over a new page I wanna material change I don’t want to hear the secrets Yo...

Disappointing head count - I thought this title would inspire some more entries :( Brown Word and the Big Whine : This has a sort of Joan Jett “I Love RocknRoll” vibe but lacks the raunch and drive. I’d like the guitar to have more impact - it seems muffled/subdued with an over-application of reverb...

I see that Lichen Throat posted lyrics but is MIA for the fight - is it an admin oversight?

*Edit* - okay, I just saw the pre-fight thread so ignore above

Thanks. It’s not why I do this but a little bit of recognition is still a nice thing.

The army will be assaulting your lugholes once again with a barrage of guitar sounds

Cast A Shadow the pannacotta army Look down from the heavens And everything looks small When there’s no perspective You’re not afraid to fall Climb the mountain To cast a shadow wide Across the water To the other side Your eyes refuse to open To witness what is real Without your limitations There’s...

Not done any reviewing for a while...probably with good reason :oops: Brown Word and the Big Whine : Not the most melodic of vocal lines but the song is okay. It could really do with more dynamics in the arrangement though. The acoustic has a bit of a harsh tone and is probably too loud in the mix. ...

Like Turned To Love the pannacotta army We felt the pain but ignored it It left our hearts unrewarded Like turned to love before we knew it We shut our eyes that was stupid Were we so scared To lose our heads for a while? Like turned to love an then it dissolved We watched the fires taking hold And...

I'm in again for this one.
I had a guitar solo and then remembered the optional challenge so doubled it up with a synth.

Can a solo be a solo if it's more than one instrument though?

Possum Sauce : This kind of reminds me of some of Tim's entries (The Pannacotta Army) which is maybe why I feel more critical of the less clean mix than I think I usually would be. It might actually be a case of me sounding like Mike (aka Possum Sauce). We've been posting and listening to songs on ...

Not That You Even Tried The Pannacotta Army It was always going to end like this Not that you even tried On the surface everything was good But the cracks were all inside Now the light’s gone All I have is darkness We were always gonna crash and burn The signs were there to read It was inevitable a...

Not That I Even Tried, but the Bunny Hop was just not for me.
However, I have pulled my finger out for this title.

I’ve come to the realisation that I can’t write a song titled bunny hop that would appeal to anyone other than a 3 year old so I’ve decided I’m sitting this out.

Welcome back! I thought I sent a response. I'll try again. If you don't see one soon check your spam folder maybe?

Got it now, cheers

Well I wrote lyrics and played guitar…I’m a strummer

Not been here for a while but hope to be showing up more often now. I’ve recently switched from PC to Mac and this is my first composition on the new DAW.

PS - I didn’t get the usual email acknowledgment from Fightmaster. Have these stopped?

All Time Best The Pannacotta Army You shake up my bones Rattle me from head to toe Stimulate my zones Making all my juices flow Baby when you’re near me I can’t sit still When you’re on the floor Hips swinging to the beat What am I hesitating for? I need to get up on my feet Baby when I see you I f...

or, in the second phrase of the verse, used some chords that that chord leads into.

F#7 > Bmin....
what's more natural than that?
