My contribution to the 500k BMW Summer Solstice Contest.There are 4 old tunes that I have released before. The rest are new/unreleased. I thought the released tunes fit the idea of the contest so well. Otherwise I would have tried to have only unreleased ones.

My 5 cents for the contest :) Old stuff mostly. Made in Buzz 1.2, so please be prepared for unexpected noise bursts, buggy machines behavior (like TapMan delay clicks) on newer Buzz builds. Sorry, I’m still using this fossil :D

The 500k BMW Summer Solstice Contest zip album :)  3 older songs remixed and polished and 3 new songs. Didn’t have very much time but well, I’m quite happy. This album has a REAL BUZZ COLOR :D

  • Great tunes. Welcome to the resource!
  • Yeah! Thanks Eracilon Thanks for the special page Shytan. 
    PS : The 'Check out the OGG/MP3 version' link doesnt work atm.
  • It works actually. Please clean the browser’s cache. 
  • Oh yeah! Works great now (I like how it opens after clicking on the link). Thanks Shytan!!

    Five submissions — not bad for a start. Thank you, everyone! Voting will be added shortly (today with all the luck). 
  • That's cool!! The 5 albums all together are less than 1 mb!!! 
    About vote, wouldn't it be interesting to add a 'technical' vote for the technical interest of the bmw  in addition of the 'artistical' note ? Well if it's not too much work.
    Thanks for the work Shytan, you're the King
    Thanks to the buzzers's involved.
    I will comment all the albums very soon as tomorrow my older daughter get married
    Seems next contest will be "samples only". I think there will be a lot more buzzers involved...


  • Its amazing how little space all the albums take! I've commented on some already and will comment the rest later. Thanks!

    We got our final participant almost missing the deadline! No submissions are accepted for the current contest, but we have voting now. It’s quite primitive  — one can either vote or not vote. 

    To make things worse, I forgot to block the ability to vote for more than one submission. But hey, it’ supposed to be fair play, isn’t it?! Only registered users are allowed, of course.
  • Interesting first contest here at buzztunes. Hope to see more soon. Thx admin for making it available here.
  • I just copy and paste myself :
    ""It was a great contest, really. Not very much people but I agree that an album was a bit much. Anyway the result is excellent and created in many different ways. All these bmw show the buzz power and it’s incredible versatility. "
  • PS : thanks you and see you next one!
  • Well, as I see it, the voting should last till the end of this week, then we shall name the contest winner and… move on to the next contest
  • Thanks for setting up this contest page! The way everything's laid out is really superb. This made it easy for me to listen to everything at work, while I was away from buzz.
  • Thanks szaszhareen! See you next contest
