rickyrob Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 I am restarting the original "Name that Rush Tune", which sadly died a slow death a couple of years ago. The new game will have one or two slight differences. The clip will be posted at 13:00hrs GMT on Friday 21 March 2008. The clip contains 10 No. clips of Rush songs, all 0.9 seconds long each. They are clipped together in a single length .wav file that is 9 seconds long. All you have to do is identify the 10 songs. Easy! Rules: Anyone can post their answers, BUT there MUST be an answer to ALL 10 clips. Anyone who posts within a single day (from 13:00 GMT each day) cannot post again within that particular day (i.e. only one guess per person per day). I will post replies to EVERY guess at about the same time each day (i.e. around 13:00 GMT) My reply will ONLY give HOW MANY are correct in that particular guess. I will not give any indication of which ones are correct. All songs are from STUDIO albums only, except Feedback. There MAY be more than one song from any one album. The FIRST person to answer all 10 correct wins. Prize: R30 Boot from Birmingham, England, Sept 2004 (I attended that particular show). Its excellent quality, is the WHOLE show, over 3 CDs. Watch this space for the link to the clip. Download the .wav, listen to it and then get guessing...
Godeater2112 Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 Sounds like an awesome idea sir! I can't wait to hear!
TheRocinanteKid Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 Cool, can't wait to get this started. Dunno what your opinion on the matter is but to avoid copying maybe people should PM their answers to you...

Dunno what your opinion on the matter is but to avoid copying maybe people should PM their answers to you... It was done like this before. Remember, there is no way of knowing which answers are right. The only response I will give is something like "4/10", meaning you have got 4 correct, but you don't know which 4. It did work ok like this and avoids complication. There is that chance someone will come along at the very end and get 10/10, after everyone else has done all the donkey work, but thats the game.
rushbass Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 (edited) I like the idea of this game rickyrob... should be fun! I am glad that you made the clips a little longer (0.9 secs)... I made a clip with songs 0.8 seconds each and it can be hard to determine some of these... Well, since I am at it... How about a little "practice run" - since I already made a clip of 10ea Rush songs (0.8 seconds each)... here is the link... see if you can identify all 10! Post them, and I'll let you know if you're right Download the clip here: (size - a small 128kb) http://www.mediafire.com/?zeyr1jnmalm Edited March 19, 2008 by rushbass

Fine with me if it keeps the game simpler I can work with it.

TheRocinanteKid Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 This is what I made out of those ones; The Enemy Within Circumstances Alien Shore Natural Science Carve Away The Stone Cygnus X-1, Book I, The Voyage
rushbass Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 QUOTE (TheRocinanteKid @ Mar 18 2008, 04:35 PM) This is what I made out of those ones; The Enemy Within Circumstances (incorrect) Alien Shore Natural Science Carve Away The Stone (incorrect) Cygnus X-1, Book I, The Voyage Man, just being 0.8 second clips makes it hard, doesn't it? Some of them blend together... listen closely... Here are the correct guesses so far: 1. The Enemy Within 2. 3. Alien Shore 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Natural Science 9. Cygnus X-1 10. Good start! Now, let's fill in the blanks...
Lerxster Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 1. The Enemy Within 2. Circumstances 3. Alien Shore 4. Closer To The Heart 5. We Hold On 6. Mission 7. Workin Them Angles 8. Nat Science 9. Cygnus 10. Time & Motion I originally thought 1. was DEW. This is much harder than ones on the radio
rushbass Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 QUOTE (Alex @ Mar 18 2008, 08:20 PM) AH To fast for me. I prefer not to have seizures I agree... I think the 0.9 second clips will be a little better on the brain!
rushbass Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 (edited) QUOTE (Lerxster @ Mar 18 2008, 06:42 PM) 1. The Enemy Within 2. Circumstances (wrong) 3. Alien Shore 4. Closer To The Heart (wrong) 5. We Hold On 6. Mission (wrong) 7. Workin Them Angels (wrong) 8. Nat Science 9. Cygnus 10. Time & Motion Getting closer! Just need to concentrate on the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 7th clips! Seven is probably going to be the hardest... the way in blended in with the other clips... Correct Responses so far: 1. The Enemy Within 2. ? 3. Alien Shore 4. ? 5. We Hold On 6. ? 7. ? 8. Natural Science 9. Cygnus X-1 10. Time & Motion Fill in the blanks! Edited March 19, 2008 by rushbass

The Enemy Within 2. La Villa Strangiato 3. Alien Shore 4. V. Bacchus Plateau - The Fountain Of Lamneth 5. We Hold On 6. The Camera Eye 7. Anagram For Mongo 8. Natural Science 9. Cygnus X-1 10.

rickyrob Posted March 27, 2008 Author Posted March 27, 2008 Here's one just for fun: 12 songs... The first clip is 0.9 seconds, and each successive clip is reduced in length by 0.05 seconds, sown to just 0.35 seconds for the last clip. Clip - For Fun Only No limits on the amount of posts per day. Can't post another guess until I answer it.
