“M.P. says:

That youtube video of the Duloks does not convince me: isn’t she too young to have played Gauntlet?”

she won’t forgive me for saying this, but she’s older than she looks ……put it this way , she was born in the seventies………

The score or the track? Man, that’s just confusing, that is.

I find Kieron’s right about music [ho ho ho ho ho] about 68% of the time. But I’m trying to work out some sort of algorithm. I’ll say this though, 7/10 is BRILLIANT.

I like the album :) I don’t get these philistines who say the music “isn’t good”, bah, what do they know.

Anyway, the doyouinverts rock. Nice on linking to them :) You really, really need to get the lyrics for it to make sense, I really don’t care for pitch-perfectness for that to work, and simply be fun songs they do.

“complete with intro and one-line-precis of every track which scream of some of the better Ste-Curran-isms ”

Hey, I wrote those :(

(they were totally Curran-isms though).

my woman is an occasional listener to the show who finds it reasonably amusing, actually. But hey, I do know what you mean. Apart from I’ve never heard of Eve TV.

I rewrote this about 10 times, but the long and short of it is OLL is up there with Eve TV as one of the things you could tell a woman you enjoy (and then painfully explain or demonstrate) to put them off you forever.

Surely kg has expressed his taste in music in the sunday papers.

It’s a great CD except for the last 4 tracks which are rather dismal. Sorry.

It’s ‘Playered’ by COPY, actually?

And I’m usually loath to rain on anyone’s parade, but with a breezy review and an echo chamber at Amazon I think it has to be said – I’m sitting here shellshocked, with my mouth hanging open in utter disgust at every one of the examples linked. 7/10 was looking like an exception – it was pretty okay until it hit what I think they think is a bridge and I killed the media player Sparta-style. I’m glad these people are having fun making music and inspiring feelings of community in drunken college students, I wish them the best of luck, but I don’t want any of those waveforms near my ears ever again. Praise for a few of the tracks has me halfheartedly hunting for samples (chiptune artists who hide their work, welcome to the new millennium of demoscene), but just having been associated with this they’ll have to reach a similar level to ‘Visitors from Dreams’ if they ever want to monetise me.

Note to self: Listen to Gillen about games, at least when you can tell what he’s saying. Never listen to Gillen about music.
