That was the tricky part - it makes it sooo much more confusion with the BPM changes and no gaps

Yeah it's pretty hard to even tell when it actually shifts to a new song because it's so chaotic. It'll really take a bit of time before I'm able to figure this one out.

Hmmmmmmmm...

I have a question - where multiple versions of a song are involved, are you after the precise version, or will you accept the most well-known artist for the song?

the_ditz · Post by **the_ditz** » 19 Jun 2009, 18:18

If the song has different versions, we need the actual version used here. You should find that they have notable differences in the synth sounds and orchestration. Put this way - I haven't used any songs that have two identical versions (e.g. Pagal vs. Pagyaru).

Also, i'll give you all a hint - each hook lasts either 2 beats, 4 beats or 8 beats, and there is a pattern to the duration.

I know this round is mega-difficult, so if you guys need extra time let me know how long you need - I can make the deadline tomorrow or Tuesday...

EDIT: I've just realised that Hook 16 has a very, very similar version by a different artist, so I will accept either artist name for this one, even though the hooks do sound notably different when heard normally.

Yes - it seemed the final round scared almost everyone away, so I'll post the results I have when I get home from work

I answered some of these ones, but I never had the motivation to finish for some reason. I think there's no way I'd ever beat DJ Mike TJG to be honest anyway, as he's completely amazing at this challenge!

Tiger · Post by **Tiger** » 23 Jun 2009, 18:26

Sorry I didn't get my answers sent in; I got a few of them correct and would've actually been second (I got seven of the hooks correct), but I just completely lost focus and didn't actually send in what I guesses I had...

The only ones I actually knew were Ace Of Spades and Heroes Tonight. The rest I couldn't tell were they began nor were they ended LOL. None of those are super favs of mine, so no skin off my bones. Congrats to DJ Mike TJG - 153 points

Heh, it was a lot of fun trying to track down the ones I hadn't heard much before. I actually own Eurobeat Disney 2 but I've never listened to it (it came as part of a job lot a while back) so I would have never gotten that one without the album hint.

I think the best part is that this has re-introduced me to some songs I haven't had on my iPod in a very long while, so it basically acts as a Hidden Gem search!
