Lossy->loss conversion ruins music, please do not do it.

We need a new song to obsess over!

My vote: New World by The Strawbs.

It always feels like an epic adventure. My favourite song is the 9-minute uncensored cut of KLF’s “(America) What Time Is Love”. It always feels like an epic adventure.

The most awesome track I found to play on it was 'That's Not Really Funny' by EELS. You're speed goes from about 2Mph straight to around 70Mph, erratically. Awesome, and terrifying. I have to agree with Saflo- I still don't really get how you score points or whatever. You have to build up lines of the blocks and then... well... to the help section of the website I go!

Or maybe they did, I've not tested it yet (not at home now). Not that it's a great pain to have to take the controller out every time I play, but still. Other than that, it seems awesome. I'll get back to playing Audiosurf then! Played for some 15 hours when it was released, but then haven't really touched it at all. Not that 15 hours of awesome gameplay is bad for a $10 game.
