Mystic ForestAn interesting idea to combine black metal and classical music in an overt manner, but I don't think it really works too well here.

Zimmer's HoleNever let it be said that I can't appreciate good fun music. Some of this is, but in general terms I'm not a fan.

Kilfenora Fiddle Ceili BandJust not particularly interesting, as Irish folk goes.
6.
SkindredOne hell of a find. The melodies are still in my head days later, and I don't think they'll leave in a hurry.

Amr DiabAh, the memories. One of my favourite Arabic pop voices, hands down.
5.
Tom JonesSome of his more recent music is quite catchy, but over an album he nearly puts me to sleep.
4.
SwashbuckleRather bland thrashy-sounding stuff, with a pirate theme that would be more obvious if the vocals were better.
3.
AtmosphereTalented underground hip-hop, that's for sure.

Into EternityI used to rather enjoy this band, but I think my tastes have moved on.
