Eh, not a great match up for me. Went with Electrolene as there just didn't seem a whole lot going on in Gas. Maybe I'm just being basic but I don't really get that minimalist shit Confused

Gas, I guess... but it's a damn weird choice for a singles tournament.

I actually liked both these very unique and unusual entries quite a bit. After hearing Gas first, I was looking forward to voting for it. But then Electrelane won me over with the great vocal arrangements. Good stuff all 'round.

I feel like I'm being asked which nut I want kicked, but actually just got kicked in both. hehe... ok it's not that bad, but I would not choose to listen to either of these tracks. The vocal arrangement seems a bit amateur (like not a bad thing, just I expected better). As for GAS, while I respect the textures, if they could just do that but for like 3 minutes every time, I'd be more interested. I know that's the whole point, but damn... I want my 14 minutes back (I mean I almost got lost in it... so I'm sure it's me and I guess I could've skipped it at 3 minutes knowing that that's just how GAS/that style of music rolls).

Nice matchup! Love both these albums. Almost nominated me some Electrelane myself. One of the better indie rock bands from the 2000s!

Yeah Gas ist gut as always, but I don't know how this works as a stand-alone track, and Electrelane was always a solid if not all that interesting component of the post-punk new wave in the 00s, song is pretty good regardless... tough one, not too enthused either way

Odd matchup. The Gas track is intriguing enough that I kinda want to check that whole album. As CGD said, not sure if it really works as a standalone track. Not particularly thrilled by the other song.

Electrelane was interesting enough to beat Gas.
