Dynamite Battle Round 1

[paul-pgss]

Vote the track off which you like the least!

[RobB]

I can't remember 'This Time, John' either so that'll do.

[paul-pgss]

For me it's Mary Bell. I always skip that track.

[ruth1998]

Almost all the songs are so dark or have something in them to give me a creepy chill down my spine, but almost a smile has no climax at all. kinda blah.

[sound world]

All so dark...and I think you can't take any of them away.So no vote here.Actually I'd have voted off the Dynamite S/T mix but it's already gone.

[lori glory]

none. but i had to chose one to see the results.

i chose "down desire avenue",
because of the "-ear-scratching-singing-style of Stina" during the song.

i love you Stina, i love your voice.

[aermancer]

Almost a Smile.. it just meanders around, like Ruth said there is no climax.

[blue]

'Almost a Smile' is my favourite track on the album. I find it intense and strangely joyful, I love the way it's a sort of ..... it's funny because two people here have said it has no crescendo, whereas I think of it as a continuous crescendo sort of resonating for the whole length of the song. Kind of like the way Ravel's 'Bolero' does. But I'm not technically minded about music at all.

I'd vote off 'Down Desire Avenue'. Not that it's a bad song or anything, it's just never particularly made a big impact on me for some reason.

[sound world]

...but 'Down Desire Avenue' has that amazing bit of impassioned string-writing in the middle where suddenly the pent-up sexual anger,rage and darkness of the rest finds a brief outlet...!

[paul-pgss]

Mary Bell has three votes. Therefore it has to go.
