Re: PP2017 Round 4 Match 4
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.

Re: PP2017 Round 4 Match 4
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.

Re: PP2017 Round 4 Match 4
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.

Man this is hard. A has pastoral flights of limited fancy and imagination. Duller than a village pond clagged up with silt and frogspawn.

A was equal parts intriguing and annoying.

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.

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