• a music quiz/challenge

    From Ogg@21:4/106.21 to All on Monday, April 06, 2020 07:55:00

    I put together an audio quiz for ALL:


    https://kolico.ca/fidonet/echos/memories/
    name%20that%20artist%20and%20cd.mp3

    The short url = https://tinyurl.com/y3jxndbw


    It is a mashup of 7 intros of tunes, the 8th being a reprise of the 1st
    sample. Total time, 3 minutes.


    I tried to select "distinctive" opening riffs and cutoff the sample right before the vocal starts. Lyrics would make the quiz way too easy and too tempting to cheat with google.

    Can you name the Artist, and the specific recording? All tunes are from
    the same recording.

    re: 1, ..but it sounds great when loud and in full stereo.
    re: 2, ..is the title track
    re: 3, ..the album is all original songs
    re: 4, ..this one is probably the one that got the album on radar.
    re: 5, ..this one is probably the most obscure
    re: 6, ..the little "pop" at 2:17 is a nice musical touch, eh?
    re: 7, ..not sure if this was in a movie, but the 5/4 3/4 time mix is brilliant.
    re: 8, ..this is a repeat of 1.


    In short I suck at this game :)

    I liked your feedback! That deserves a few clues, shortly.

    When I happened to be listing to the cd a few weeks ago, I thought that it was amazing that it sounded just as fresh and timely when the album was
    first released. I felt the need to share that. Then, it developed into
    the form of a quiz for select tunes.

    For those who are just hopping onto this thread, I should mention that the initial file is recorded with at least 320kbps stereo at 7MB in size.

    Here is a reminder of the link for that file for convenience (all one
    line, but it will wrap here):

    https://kolico.ca/fidonet/echos/memories/
    name%20that%20artist%20and%20cd.mp3

    The short url = https://tinyurl.com/y3jxndbw

    I produced a couple of smaller versions too:

    128 kbps, 2.9MB - https://tinyurl.com/y2d7jj27
    64 kbps, 1.5MB - https://tinyurl.com/y6zzutez

    Some clues:

    [1] recording released, 1995
    [2] Bonnie Raitt sings background vocals for sample track 5
    [3] artist is still alive and recording today.
    [4] male artist

    More later.

    I think it's "Walking On Country Roads" by Noah J. Tith

    I need more time to play BBSing at the moment... life seems even crazier
    right now with covid-19 etc. sigh.
