W/M - I'm listening at the moment (3rd listening) and trying to do the competition.  It needs a few spins, but it is growing on me more and more!   ;)   BTW the ink's black this time!   ;D

Hey Val, it's wonderful news that you already have the CD! :o  .....Have a great time listening!  ;)

I have no idea what to expect with the competition, but I'll see how difficult it is! ::)

I have now listened to Guy's album many times.  At first I was a bit disappointed, but after the third spin I was hooked!  It is really a beautiful album, but I need to listen to it as a whole - each track seems to flow naturally into the next.  The band are wonderful and I love John's fiddle.   I haven't a favourite track at the moment, because I like them all.   I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!   :)

You have yours already???  Lucky you!   I haven't even received the email yet.    :'(

strange, neither have i....i ordered in the morning of the first day... ???
Title: Re: Natural selection competition now on line
Post by: Love Expresso on March 28, 2010, 12:14:17 PM
I ordered early, too. But, hey, we all know Guy is a kind of artist man and not so much organized I would presume... Remember all the little agreeable inaccuracies (don't want to offend him, but when he says "...starts next week" you can be sure it starts at least in three weeks, or all his announcements about Live downloads, web cams, and so on) Rollergirl, Mrs. President, please do not throw me into jail for this... ::)

But also we have to remember this: His working pensum in the last few weeks must have been really immense: I think Mark leaves a lot of work for him when it  comes to rehearsals and set lists, that's why he is the Musical Director, also he produced and mixed  NS and John Illsley's album, answering queries every day, revamping the site, doing artwork and stuff for his new album and ABOVE ALL, they do rehearsals, let's hope in a great and powerful way! So he is a really busy man and therefore I can get over not being handled in the exact incoming orders...

However, my Inamorata was Number 402 ;D, so I think my "Natural Selection" will at least be among the first hundred CD's...

Oh, I wasn't complaining.  I'm just eager to have that baby in my hands.

Natural Selection No. 124 arrived yesterday! :D
Had a first listen. Some tracks are really good, but have only little time this weekend. Will give it a more detailed try tomorrow.

The Presidential copy (#3) has arrived.

"Falling tide" stands out at the moment, but I have only listened twice yet.
I like his singing much better than on Inamorata!
Trying to get to grips with the competition, there will be a lot of guessing!!!
Title: Re: Natural selection competition now on line
Post by: Love Expresso on April 08, 2010, 10:47:09 AM
Wow, Number 3!

Gratulations for that!

The question is now, who's got number 1 and 2? Maybe Mark and Guy's wife (or vice-versa.. :lol). In that (unlikely) case you would be in a very good company it seems??

I'd say 1) his mum 2) his wife (or vice-versa), 3) The President  ;D

Plus he did name the album after me Nat (ural Selection) what can I say? It pays to be President of a fan club that doesn't exist!  :lol  ;D

ever thought of proposing it nat?(ural selection) i mean the fanclub/site thing...look at slavi, she managed it..
Title: Re: Natural selection competition now on line
Post by: Rollergirl on April 08, 2010, 01:32:52 PM
No, I haven't thought about it. What does a fan club do anyway, that isn't done by the man himself or this forum? I do like to call myself "The President" though!  ;D

So, how are you all doing with this? I had some spare time yesterday (home alone ALL day with a flu of some sort while my family was celebrating Midsummer) and had a real go at the competition. Glad that I nailed 2 that have been bugging me for some time (well, at least I think I did). Still 3 or 4 blanks though. I will have to resort to let luck decide for me.

If I win (which I won't), I'll sell the thing on e-bay and give money to charity (somebody mentioned that on GF forum, I thought it was a brilliant idea.)

The deadline is now extended to the 26th July. I don't care, I am not going to change my entry again. This is doing my head in (and I love it  ;D)

Post by: Rollergirl on August 08, 2010, 10:00:01 PM
The answers have been published. How did we all do? I had 20 right, not so bad I guess.
Title: Re: Natural selection competition now on line
Post by: superval99 on August 09, 2010, 05:17:00 PM
I had 19!   :)

Yeah! I am leading!  ;D

No I am not, I recounted and I also have 19 right! There are 2 that I changed at the last minute which were right! grrr. Doesn't change anything though, 21 right wouldn't have been a winning score, so no regrets!
