Mornats Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I still need to listen and cast my vote but I'm playing at a mini music fest this weekend so it'll be a few days. Can't wait to listen to them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad3353 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Don't rush me; I'll get there before the guillotine comes down (I hope...). That'll be 10 voters, which is about average. I'd discount the 'thousands' of members, anyway, in the same fashion that I discount the hundreds of ads in the Marketplace flagged as 'On hold' since Noah built his ark..! Stats are worthless, as we well know. If all of the participants vote, that good going, I reckon (and some may not, for various reasons... ).

lowdown Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 I will be listening tomorrow, so another three votes from me. After all, I don't fancy leaving my head in a wicker basket. I have been legless a few times in the distant past, but headless ? That's a whole new ball game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll be too high. The rate your track is going you will be heads, hands and feet above all of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mornats Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Some beautiful pieces in this month's collection. Toughest choice yet, my shortlist wasn't short by any stretch of the imagination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 I've yet to vote, but I will be. It's hard to choose just 3 from this lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonBassAlpha Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I haven't followed this competition for long, does anyone know what is the greatest number of entries in a month? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 [quote name='MoonBassAlpha' timestamp='1472567101' post='3122175']...what is the greatest number of entries in a month? [/quote] Three times, 15 entries, in 2013, 2015 and early this year. Lowest was 4, July 2014 (holidays..?). Normally between 10-12, with a slight dip in the summer period. Overall healthy, I'd say, with a fairly consistent following of regulars, with the exception of one month where a very fine bass was on offer as a prize, and the voting was quite massive in comparison. An inquiry as to how to better promote the subject found that promotion was considered rather too invasive; folks participate (by offering an entry or by voting...) or not, and it's counter-productive to even [i]try [/i]to raise more interest or awareness. Those that [i]do [/i]participate find it great fun, in general, and that's the main thing. Does that quell your curiosity..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonBassAlpha Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Comprehensive and informative, as always! Thanks Douglas. MBA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the boy Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Voted..... Mr Lurksalot has ruined my life. I can't stop singing his song and although I would probably chuck a brick at him if I met him he still deserved a vote. I can't say I liked them all, however, they were all well put together. Excellent piece by mr lowdown also, well done to all and hopefully I'll put an entry in next month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lurksalot Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 This month has shown a fantastic insight to the inspiration drawn from the picture , from massive inclusivity in a social sense, isolation in a personal sense and some superb contemplative overviews , it has produced the whole gamut ,from fun and frivolous to serious soundtracks and a few in between , quality absolute.
