Easily A. B is unlistenable.

Re: PC21- Round 1 Match 5
Dang, them Germans sure know how to find a bunch of variation out of a scant few chords! A has some dull spots, but it finds some interesting corners, considering. One riff for nine minutes? Great work if you can get it.
But B is just so deliciously over-the-top. This is what this cup should be about. You can overdo it and be totally heady about it, or you can just have fun with the absurdity of it all. B has a ton of fun.
I need to look into their stuff a bit more.

Re: PC21- Round 1 Match 5
Gotta go for B.
It's the kind of music my friends fear will greet them when I say 'you can come along if you like, I absolutely love them, but you might find it all a bit...odd'.
Which is a shame, because the other contender is a very strong track in its own right.

Re: PC21- Round 1 Match 5
This is the toughest match up for me
I adore La Düsseldorf and thesis an incredible track taken from their seminally robust album
An absolute corker!!!
It oozes and drips atmosphere. What the word 'ethereal' was designed for.
Far out man!
I remember buying this album off an ex-girlfriend a long long long time ago. Thanks Lesley.
Beggars Opera (note NO apostrophe) are great fun and this is no exception taken from their first album.
It's good but not that good to beat La Düsseldorf.

Re: PC21- Round 1 Match 5
this is one of those occasions when i agree word-for-word with c.
well, except for the having-an-ex-girlfriend-named-lesley part.

A - Lovely Krautrock prog.
B- too disjointed and not into the singer. Otherwise okay. By the end I sort of loved the wackiness of the whole track. Still I think its the drummer who bothers me.

Re: PC21- Round 1 Match 5
I always enjoy the La Dusseldorf tracks I've heard in the competition and this is no exception. It builds and shuffles along nicely utilizing it's simple melody to full effect. The vocals are probably the weak link and it probably didn't even need them.
The Beggar's Opera is relentless and gallops along with busy showboating organ and drums but little in the way of a memorable melody. Enjoyable enough but not something I could ever listen to as much as the La Dusseldorf track.

Man, like 2 diametrically opposed ends of the spectrum. Both enjoyable their way. A is an old fave, but B is a new find, so i will reward this, cheers.

Re: PC21- Round 1 Match 5
Ah, Beggars Opera's debut, soundtrack of my tender youth.
A band led by hammond organ and bass galloping through (as my classically trained mum told me back in the day) German operetta composer Franz von Suppé's overtures at breakneck speed (they also do Light Cavalry on the same album)... and the singer going whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa YEAAAH... YEAAAAAH !!
Ludicorus as hell, but I can't help still loving it dearly after all these years.
Very underwhelmed by the Germans' endless riffing, on the other hand.

No apostrophe Ray.
Tut, tut
It's an interesting one actually.
The band were called Beggars Opera. The only place that Beggar's Opera appears is on the front cover of Act One...!
Everywhere else including subsequent albums it is Beggars Opera.
I recall asking them about this when I saw them at the Dagenham Roundhouse back in 1970 and they said it was some smart arse in the management who thought the band were illiterate and didn't understand the importance of the possessive case and decided it should go in!

You appear to have spelled Opera wrong C. Its should read A.R.S.E.
