    a bit underwhelming final if I'm honest, so I will skip voting.

    Shane, thank you very much for organising the game, good fun!

    Depends if trance is your thing I guess. 2 of the most influencial trance tracks of the 90.

    I'd echo your second comment, fantastic tournament Shane.

    Thanks Shane, great fun, brilliantly done. Was surprised to see some of my 20+ year old noms do so well! :D

    Discovered one or two new gems and finally learned the names of a few classics :pac:
