unhiphop [ar 2] is electronica, with layers of chill and noodling synths, head-bobbing percussion, & glitch.

ripples has synths that remind me of a Vangelis soundtrack. It starts with calm synths, builds a nice momentum, then mellows out again.
That wraps up the coverage from the first Music Challenge.

While the Gittin’ is Good is surf rock, with the guitar thrown through a punkish distortion pedal.

I Like Hat is a catchy song, with beatboxing, synths, and fembot vocals reciting absurd lyrics.

Sinaloan Milk Snake Song is a cover of a Mountain Goats song, with a different feel entirely – it’s faster, with more instrumentation than the original.

Aquamarine is some nice, crunchy powerpop, from grubi, who I’ve featured a couple of times, including some hip-hop just a couple of days ago.
This is the very first song from the very first Metafilter Music Challenge, water.

Manifesto is geeky, intelligent rap. I like the rapper’s flow, the chorus, & the background music.

get the door soothes me, with a looped acoustic guitar, bells, and circuit bent background noises.
I’ve liked a couple of RobertFrost’s previous songs – bent+acoustic also used circuit bending to good effect.

Hopeful Hopeful uses a loop pedal to make a fugue, so that the guitar’s playing both in the foreground and background.
