Covert Ops: Junk Deluxe Competition WINNERS!

Any given 5 seconds of his submission had more interesting stuff going on than 99% of the utter steaming hot piles of dog shit that is posted here on a daily basis.
Whew! Look at me! Makin' friends all OVER the place! *hugs*
Edit: And b0unce was pounced on because he was being his usual Nancy Boy happy self. Don't defend him. He could have easily have said what he said in some sort of neutral way without coming across like the complete douchbag that he his. Then again, would we really have it any other way?
I know, I know. Pot. Kettle. Black.

Having a music competition is always going to result in a difference of opinion regarding the winner, as musical preference is such a subjective thing. In this case it was the CovOps who set the boundries, and as such ultimately reserved the right to judge based upon their own preference.
As far as I'm concerned I thoroughly enjoyed entering and actually got a lot of insight out of it. I now recon I could safely ditch every 3rd party plugin in my vst folder and it would probably benefiet my composition, Live's plugs can cover any base I need. I've been going round the house with my zoom H2 collecting sounds, as some of the ones in the comp have a quality to them that I'd forgotten existed, that little lighter gas sample has a quality that puts any synthesised noise I've ever made to shame.
It's really made me realise how set in my ways I've become, I've been feeling really stagnant and falling into behaviour patterns, relying on more and more plugs and presets to try and find inspiration, they just distract from the real task.
That said, I had this idea of having another little contest just using Operator, a "weirdest noise from one C1 and one midi clip" contest, I think it'd be pretty funny.
