blimey, another very strong match-up.
i love the italian psychedelic soundtracks that morricone made, and this selection is no exception. sublime.
i'm wondering whether B is a bonafide pick as 'el' would seem to disqualify it. having said that, it's not only the best song of the round, but also the cup. perhaps the best song in preludin cup history. just perfect.
B

I've got A on the same compilation as the awesome 'Neurotic Reaction'. It's pretty groovy.
The vocal in B is really fucking pissing me off.

Urgh, A is a very unpleasant thing, isn't it? The drums are decent, if unspectacular, but it's very farty, and that guitar tone is the least pleasant thing I've heard since that chorus harmony in the last round. Fuck me, this doesn't half go on, what a turd of a track. Christ, what an aimless, pointless, repetitive lump of damp cardboard. Worst track I've heard this cup so far.
And B is pushing it close. Could've been a nice drum break there if it went somewhere. Piss-poor, sounds like a bunch of stoned students pissing about with some bits of tape from an abandoned recording session. I guess at least it's short, and it has some pointless electronic squiggle at the end.
Worst tie of the cup so far, but B takes it.

Both good, but in a limited way.
A is pretty much just a groove, but it's a rather awesome one. It's probably a touch longer than it needs to be, but stops before it gets too dreary. That organ wash near the end helps.
B has got some great elements, and is nice and short for good measure. But yeah, the vocal's a bit annoying, and it's ultimately (haven't used this word for a while) a bit of a pastiche without much personality of its own.

When i saw this match i felt sure i would vote for B, but after playing both my vote is going to A. While i like it, B is just a bit too slight, with not enough Lee Fields for my liking. A is clearly moody groove music, but is killer at what it tries to be.

A is so up my street that it's knocked on my door with a bunch of suitcases. One of my favourites of his. Love the contrast between the super tight drumming ( which is a thing of wonder in itself) and bass and the wigged out instrumentation over the top. Perfect.
Liked B a lot, especially the breathy female vocals. A very nice track..
But this has to be A

Can't go against my Eye-talian fratello, plus the movie was pretty cool - A

A most excellent match for yours truly. A could improve if it featured a bit of interplay between the guitar and the organ as I was kinda expecting, but anyway the sounds were gorgeous all along. B could have spared that electronic noise at the end that breaks a bit the pleasant atmosphere that was achieved. Very close.
I'll give it to

I've heard the Wendy Rene version of Tearz in a Wu-Tang track, and this one isn't terribly different from that one.
The Morricone is interesting as I don't think I've ever heard him ride a groove for so long.
I dunno. I think B gets this one - there's just a bit more good stuff to grab on to.

I've listened to A two or three times but I'm not getting it. The best thing about it is that it's better than B

There's a cool 'bionic' sound at 2:17 in B. That is the highlight.
