That's a pretty lacklustre Mayfield choice. It doesn't kick nearly enough ass to beat Fela.

Re: 70s Cup Round 1 Match 16
It doesn't have to kick ass for me, but Fela is up and running immediately, while Curtis still hasn't taken off after two minutes. Hate to vote against Mayfield, but Fela clinches it. B

Oh, it's the right on, politically correct tie. I've never been too keen on Fela Kuti, one for the armchair revolutionaries among us.

A is pretty tight, but there's something more joyous about the Fela Kuti track, which sounds both complex and easygoing.

At least here, Fela made a more interesting sound

Re: 70s Cup Round 1 Match 16
Curtis, again, is bland and doesn't hold my attention.
Fela. Well, I have heard better by the man but this track has its moments.
Oddly, for me, the track does go on a bit without going anywhere.
I wasn't keen on either tracks to be honest but I have already abstained twice in this round.
A third 'abstention' would be rude.
What the hell

Re: 70s Cup Round 1 Match 16
Oof tough.
Fact is I can play that Curtis song over and over. For me that's not the best Fela pick...not quite dynamic as some of his other stuff.

Then it follows that ∀ k ∈ K: K ∈ U ⇒ k ∉ D

Re: 70s Cup Round 1 Match 16
Don't think I've enjoyed a round in the BCb cup as much as this first one for a long time, and this may be the toughest tie yet for me.
The way Billy Jack sustains this tight, claustrophobic mood really is quite something. Perhaps it slightly lacks that transcendent quality his best stuff has, but still great stuff. The Fela Kuti track takes its time getting going, too long probably, but once it does it's as immersive as anything, a total trip.
It's a B

A, meh.
B is brilliant. I really should check out more Fela Kuti than I have already because this is pure class.

Re: 70s Cup Round 1 Match 16
Again not really clasic Curtis but it builds nicely. Fela Kuti never really did it for me, and this overly long track is exactly the kind of reason why.

How many other Curtis tracks are we going to get? 11 by my reckoning.

Re: 70s Cup Round 1 Match 16
A suffers from Curtis-fatigue. The Fela Kuti track feels much fresher just now. Yes, it’s a blast. I’am about to listen to it again.

This completes the first-round voting from the Further Spanish jury. Things could get better!
