First of all, it was really hard to pick four out of the 15+ applications I recieved. Everything was great and I liked every album you guys recommended! After listening, listening again, re-listening and checking it out again the other day with a fresh mind, I finally completed my mission to pick four albums.
You all have to know I picked it because of the music, not because of how friendly someone is, how long the description is, how many you recommended me, how bad you want this invitation or on the fact how much you visit this blog; It's all about the music! The same for my posts; I only post albums because I love them, not because they are popular or anticipated. Ah well, that's another story!
You also have to understand that I have to congrats four people, but on the other side I also have to disappoint all the others. Please don't be mad; it's a contest, no charity-event :)
So, thanks again to all of you for the effort, I really appreciate it! And my apologies again for disappointing many of you. I will give more invitations away every month and you all will be in the back of my mind ;)
Enough talking, time for the winners!
Random order:
Name: Newton Pham
Album: Shinsight Trio - Shallow Nights, Blurry Moon
Reason: He recommended this group consisting of Insight, Shin-Ski and DJ Ryou. I already knew Insight and Shin-Ski, but never knew about this amazing group! GREAT productions by Shin-Ski, great lyrics by Insight and great cuts by DJ Ryou. I immediately loved this album, hell of a recommendation; congrats!
Name: Riekele Scholte
Album: Various Artists - Beautiful Field
Reason: Really nice mellow/soulful stuff from Japan. Jazzy instrumentals with lots of piano, great to listen to! Love it, thanks and congrats!
Name: Bino03
Album: Dream Warriors - The Master Plan
Reason: I have to admit, I listen more new-skool than old-skool, but this sh*t is amazing! Pharcyde/ATCQ-ish music, think that explains it! Never heard of these guys, shame on me for that. Thanks for the recommendations and congrats for being in the "Fantastic Four".
Name: Jason Leenaarts
Album: Nightmares On Wax - In A Space Outta Sound
Reason: Great instrumental stuff, hip hop with a jazzy/mellow flavour, love it! Listened to it today on my way to work and couldn't turn it off; very great record!

Congrats to the four winners and sorry to all the others. I appreciate the effort though :) Hopefully we can stay in touch and share some music every now and then, also when you can't win something ;)
The four winning albums will be up soon,
Heaps.
