Sounds of Travel - The Tournament of Sound - SEMIS

Celtic (4 votes) was the top vote getter to get into the semifinals along with Swedish, Viking and Arabic, who had a 3 way tie for 2nd (3 votes).

Choose your TOP TWO tracks for the finals round!!

Easy choices for me! Swedish Disco Jam and the track that started it all (from the first demo!), Arabic Ensemble.

I thought it would be a conflict of interest if I voted in the first tourney, but I'll cheat and vote in the second.

Arabic and Celtic are the easy choices for me. Being lucky enough to be the first person Greg showed to Sounds Demos to, I remember thinking these would be the pitch perfect bookends to a powerful first album - and they are the easy choices here.

Swedish & Arabic! Let's goooooo!

I missed this dog gone it! Would have voted CELTIC and ARABIC! My two favorites from TGOE.

Swedish and Arabic are very well deserved wins and their languages are just mesmerizing to listen to! Ho-ho!

Yep - interesting that Celtic won the first round but only got a single vote here.

This round definitely didn’t have the fireworks that Round 1 had (before Bridge takes credit for that lemme say I preferred
Round 2)

Onto the finals!

Yeah, I legitimately wonder if Celtic was in the top 3 for a lot of folks (like me) but hardly anyone’s true favorite.

Thanks for doing this, Eric. This is fun!

Yeah definitely, wanted to shake things up a bit.

That actually makes sense. Though I am no fan of the jam my two choices were Arabic and Viking War. I miss the old days where Greg and the band would don Viking outfits and war on stage. Was fun and added a musical theater element to their performances.

DANG IT - I somehow missed all this (saw the announcement in the mailer). I would have MADE SURE Celtic (with Kip Shelling's iconic banjo licks) would have made the finals I dont think it beats Arabic but I woulda made it close. The lack of Shelling in the finals on Sounds final round SUCKS lol
