rickyrob Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 (edited) The clip contains 10 No. clips of Rush songs, all 0.9 seconds long each. They are clipped together in a single length .wav file that is 9 seconds long. All you have to do is identify the 10 songs. Easy! Rules: Anyone can post their answers, BUT there MUST be an answer to ALL 10 clips. Anyone who posts within a single day (from 13:00 GMT each day) cannot post again within that particular day (i.e. only one guess per person per day). No one person can post their next guess until I answer their previous (this avoids people just submitting 100's of guesses. I will post replies to EVERY guess at about the same time each day (i.e. around 13:00 GMT). I reserve the right to 'miss days' and will say so the day before. Again I can't be in all the time. My reply will ONLY give HOW MANY are correct in any one particular guess. I will not give any indication of which ones are correct. All songs are from Rush STUDIO albums only, except Feedback. There MAY be more than one song from any one album and there may be more than one clip from any one song. The FIRST person to answer all 10 correct wins. Prize: R30 Boot from Birmingham, England, Sept 2004 (I attended that particular show). Its excellent quality, is the WHOLE show, over 3 CDs. Click on the link below and download the .wav file for the clips. (if this proves too easy, I'm shortening the clips next time ) Ricky's Clips #1 Edited March 20, 2008 by rickyrob
TheRocinanteKid Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 Wow this is hard, I have about 6-7 of them, the others I can't identify so I can't post... will take another look later.
Digital Man Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 Fine, I'll go first... 1 Afterimage 2 Resist 3 Far Cry 4 Xanadu 5 Second Nature 6 In The Mood 7 New World Man 8 Color of Right 9 Time & Motion 10 The Body Electric
Choose/the/light Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 1.Emotion Detector (knew it right away) 2.Vapor Trail? (this one KILLED ME! i knew it but couldn't find it-its something new anyway) 3.The Main Monkey Busines (i first thought it was Malnar, but then realized my mistake) 4. Xanadu? this one is hard 5.Second Nature 6.Cygnus X-1 7.The Enemy Within? 8.The Color of Right 9.Animate 10.Between the Wheels? this one killed me too
Territorial_Game Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 this is cool! 1. Emotion Detector (i think this is right) 2. Peaceable Kingdom (just a guess, this was hard) 3. The Main Monkey Business (this one was easy) 4. Xanadu (think that arpeggio is right, hard!) 5. Second Nature (easy one) 6. Cygnus X-1 (this one took a while) 7. New World Man (easy!) 8. The Color of Right (easy) 9. Animate (took a few tries) 10. Between The Wheels (easy)
rickyrob Posted March 20, 2008 Author Posted March 20, 2008 Some interesting answers... Bear in mind I won't be answering these until tomorrow. Any more go's for today?
TheRocinanteKid Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 (edited) Bah might as well give it a go for the day and just put random stuff in the places I have no idea on. 1. Afterimage 2. Faithless* 3. Far Cry 4. Xanadu 5. Second Nature* 6. Cygnus X-1, Book I: The Voyage 7. New World Man 8.The Color Of Right 9. Cut To The Chase* 10. Not Fade Away* Ones with * are complete guesses I had no idea about. One of them isn't very sensible but I was completely lost on it. Edited March 20, 2008 by TheRocinanteKid
Crush252 Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 oh, this is SWEET. but i'm gonna have to listen to it repeatedly and keep on listening to many different Rush songs in between. gonna be awhile.
Show Don't Tell Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 1. Emotion Detector 2. How It Is (totally guessing on this one) 3. The Main Monkey Business 4. Xanadu (distinct) 5. Second Nature (easy -- keys) 6. Cygnus X-1 (took a while) 7. New World Man ("old enough"!) 8. The Color Of Right (easy, again!) 9. Animate (easy one -- solo) 10. Between The Wheels (took some time -- I was about to say Marathon) Well, there's mine. BUT, I have a suggestion. We should work out a system of PM-ing Rob our answers, and he can post all the users' answers in one post at 13:00 GMT. Then, you know we can see who's right an wrong, and users will not be able to copy each other's answers! This may be quite a lot in Rob's post of the results. But, if the clip were just one, two, or maybe three songs in one file, it would be a bit more manageable.

But, if the clip were just one, two, or maybe three songs in one file, it would be a bit more manageable. Its like I said in the other thread, it always worked like this. Part of the fun was trying to get in there before anyone else. You don't have to post your answers. If you think you have all of them, thats when to post, but the difficulty arises when you get a lot of them right, then someone comes along and gets the key one before you. It could be argued that the person getting the 'difficult' one right deserves to win. PMing me crossed my mind, but for some reason I think the fun of it would go, and there is always the 'cheating' element of it. What if there was someone who I wanted to win, there would be no evidence that they got the songs right. Also, it is better if you don't follow up answers with comments like "this one is easy" etc. It oes give things away that others might not have a clue about. Edited March 21, 2008 by rickyrob
