SCORPIOFF BEAT POLL: TRACKS AND VOTING INSIDE!

The standard might actually be a little too high here. So far, there are seven on my shortlist. I'm gonna have to marinate on this one a little longer. Outstanding work, people.
 
Between 3, 8, and 9 for me.





And I might just have to give it to Can for covering one song with samples from another. Awesome concept!

On second listen, that one's the clear winner for me. Amazing flip, right down to the drum programming. I've made breaks imitate other breaks before, but completely reworking a song to make it imitate another song? Incredible.
 
I like the grinding bad vibes of "Scrapio."





I've always thought that "Scorpio"--with that massed, piercing high end--was just an exceedingly harsh, mean record. It's got that great groove, but also a really grating, Bernard Herrmann Psycho quality. That's one of the things I love about it. "Scrapio" has that same kind of nastiness, but gets it on its own, with a sound that doesn't lean too much on the sonics of the original. I like concepts and flow and everything as much as the next two guys, but there's also something to be said for sheer relentlessness.





Nice work, whoever you are.
 
Wow you guys are sick, hard to vote on this. 6,7,8,9 are some of my favorites. Glad I bowed out of this one, I don't understand how some of the flips were done.
 
After I voted, i was surprised to see that people are sleeping on "Last Week Of October". It's a shame. If I could vote again I would go for this underdog for sure.
 
again, i couldn't find the time to do this. bummer.





i think scrapio could have gone somewhere interesting, but sort of stayed in just one place. pretty much like rounds.





i liked call me hank's breezy / ez vibe a lot.





slow down scorpio was probably the best chopping / use of the sample, but didn't do it for me completely.





not voting yet, i think.





great work, everybody!
 
Decided to vote for #1 over #8, but was hard to choose between both of them. Some great beats put out there all around. Would by both on vinyl in a second.
 
wow, banging tracks all around, heads got busy, seems like a few bailed out this time around though, guess 10 joints is good too haha, gotta run through these on propper speakers before placing vote..





btw, somebody should drop mr dennis coffey a link, im sure he would appreciate the work done here on his classic funk track..

Stella work yet again. I seem to gravitate towards the ones that stray away from the chopped up concept, I think partially because I don't really like the og track all that much, but there's some great work in there none the less. The Can track deserves some kind of special prize for originality.
 
Mr. Coffey is not the worlds friendliest. Not for nothing, but I'd be wary of bringing this to his attention.
 
Holy shit..... Fire flame all around. I, too, will have to marinate a while on these. So much goodness up there. Incredible work dudes..
 
Listened to these a lot in the last few days.





I am proud to say I am the first, but I am the sure not the last, to vote for Score Peon.


I was going back and forth between 4 of (what turned out to be) the five most popular (by votes cast).





Then I finally got around to listening to the last one.





All are great.
 
I was going to say I like a short into, verse, bridge, verse outro.


But the one I voted for does not really fit that structure.
 
Some cool really stuff. Thanks to everyone! I need to listen again (and again) the next couple of days before I can decide.
