“A number on a page” by Aral Balkan (@aral) is a heart wrenching piano ballad. Amazing vocal harmonies. Bit of a Bowie vibe in parts? Beautiful piece. Vote code UFOP
“Maudit” by Faustine (@faustivache) & Juliette is definitely another #Fedivision song! I used a translator to read the lyrics. It did not help me understand what the song is about. That doesn’t matter! The music is fire and I like it!! I’m confused, but I like it. Vote code WCFA
“This Fragile Atmosphere” by Lonnon Foster (@lonnon) begins with a finger snap in the mic which becomes the main driver for the layers of synths that follow it, drive it, push it, relentlessly, until your tapping your foot and bobbing your head. Excellent ideas. Excellent track. Vote code NBLT
“Mare” by Schall und Stille (@stephan) featuring MyLoFy (@MyLoFy) and Tobias Stutz. I like this one. The instruments complement each other nicely and the vocals fit really well. MyLoFy does a great job on the guitar solo, and Tobias brings the cello in beautifully. The lyrics speak about unspoken connections. Great track. Vote code RAIL
“goodBeginnings” by frigginGlorious (@frigginglorious) is a love song recalling the first meeting and celebrating the relationship. #Fedivision delivers such a wide variety of music to us. There’s a real space rock vibe on this one. I enjoyed it. Vote code SHED
For some reason “Nobody Else Will” by skye gaenseblum (@skye) instantly transported me to some mystical underground cavern in a Zelda style adventure on a SNES. I’m not sure why…
It’s a really lovely piece. Vote code TASS
“Shoot Away Pain” by Jämezytee (@Jamezytee) delivers the rhymes in this epic hip-hop track. Heavy lyrics speak to the problem of gun violence and its ties to mental health, lobby groups, and modern media. Important messages in a banger track. Vote code PRNY
“Threaded Invasion” by The1goit (@the1goit) is an instrumental piece with a great rhythm and driving melody.
“…I decided to theme this track after Threads "federating" and the instances trying to fight back against the data-grabbing, all seeing eyes of Facebook…” ~ The1goit
I think the impression of a digital battlefield has been successfully delivered. Great track! Vote code TBSC
“Light Beam” by Earl20 (@jdufour) is an instrumental synth with a kickin’ beat and some wicked harmonies. Really easy to bop along to. Very nice. Vote code NEUT
“Versio” by Cobalt (@cobalt) is a really cool pop song, synths layered with piano and a wicked drum track will make you want to dance. It opens with just three piano notes before fading in this fast melody and thumping synth bass. The lyrics are fire.
“Mauver than a Joopleberry” by Fennifith Media Transmitter @defaultmediatransmitter) and James Fenn (@fennifith)] is a synth instrumental with a nice spacey feel. Really interesting changes and drum sections. I like it. Vote code BKTH
Reviewing #Fedivision is daunting, an endeavour that’s taking days, but it’s really satisfying to listen carefully to each song and write something about it.
