PP2017 Round 4 Match 4 *Hugh 9- Osgood 6*

[never/ever]

A

Pekka Pohjola - The Madness Subsides




B

Sisa – Maria Lluna

[algroth]

Damn, this match is really good. I've enjoyed what little nova cançó I've heard and Sisa's track is not an exception to this. It feels more substantial than A as a track too, yet there's something about A that really prickles my ears - the tone of the electric piano in it is just wonderful. I have to give it to A though already this is looking like a far better round overall than the last one.

I do like the electric piano on A, but unfortunately the guitar takes back whatever good feelings I have toward it.

Not sure how proggy B is, and without understanding the lyric it gets a bit repetitive, but it's the more engaging of the two for sure.

[Osgood]

A is fine and evocative and even in its simplicity (it's basically built on a repetitive chord progression) manages to generate a nice atmosphere and listening pleasure. B is a great and extremely charming pìece, and while its proggyness may be debatable, I have no doubt about its beauty.

[Jumper K]

Man this is hard. A has pastoral flights of limited fancy and imagination. Duller than a village pond clagged up with silt and frogspawn.
B is the bastard son of Donovan and some Balkan Cat Stevens tribute band.

[Hightea]

A its a bit better than B although both are nice tunes

[Hugh]

I like B a fair bit but I like A a fair bit more.

[kath]

i love this match-up. both tracks are lovely on the ears. thanks to both pickers.

[Nancy]

A was equal parts intriguing and annoying.

B was Better....

[joels344]

Great songs and interesting selections here. However, I believe A is far too lovely to vote against and I plan to explore more from Pekka Pohjola. A for me.

[never/ever]

Got the remastered Mathematician-album which is really fine. The goatlike vocal in B was cute...
