POLYLEMMA WINS HAPPY NEW YEARS AWARD 2011

In the most fierce voting mobilisation campaign ever, Joe Hertenstein's band with Thomas Heberer, Pascal Niggenkemper and Joachim Badenhorst achieved with "Polylemma" the first place in the HAPPY NEW EARS AWARD 2011, in a daily changing neck-against-neck race against Scoolptures with "White Sickness" in a more than honorable second place.  More than 1629 votes were cast.

The top-5 is as follows :

1. Joe Hertenstein - Polylemma  : 675 (41%) 
2. Scoolptures - White Sickness : 579 (35%) 
3. Duplant, Chagas &  Sait - Late Winter, Early Spring : 76 (4%) 
4. Peter Evans Quintet - Ghosts :  64 (3%) 
5. Foton Quartet - Zomo Hall  : 46 (2%)

It must be clear that the after a couple of days, Scoolptures and Hertenstein were so much ahead of the other bands, that it became pointless to vote on the other bands.

Joe Hertenstein, Thomas Heberer, Joachim Badenhorst & Pascal Niggenkemper - Polylemma

A more than deserved second place goes to Scoolptures - White Sickness

We wish both bands, and all the other contenders, all the best and hope they will continue with offering us highly innovative listening experiences. Congratulations to all and hopefully it has helped and will help to get some wider attention new audiences.

The five winners also reflect the current international nature of modern music, with no less than Germany, France, Belgium, Italy, Poland, Canada, and the US represented.

Congratulations to all!
