10th frame. Tensions were running high. The spectators in the gallery let out a tense sigh, exhaling clouds of cigarette smoke in the process. This was gonna be close. Two contenders left - The Bearded Man and Gus "Stretch" McGinly, South Africa's premier bowling champ. So far, the "X's" vomited across the score card had shown that neither of these two players were backing down. Nothing but strikes for either player up until now, so it was all going to come down to the 10th frame. The Bearded Man went first. Strike. Strike. 9 pins. Damn. Damn damn damn. Next was Gus. Strike. Strike. STRIKE. BUT WAIT! "You crossed the line!! Mark it zero!!" "What?" "You know! You know! You crossed the line! Mark! It! Zero!!" And with that, The Bearded Man won the championship. Winning isn't always glamorous folks, and neither is doing the right thing. But winning is winning. And The Bearded Man knows how to win.

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Just excellent electronic pop anthem on The Bearded Man. Magnificent deep basslines, uplifting grooves, magical relaxing breakdown and excellent climax with great trumpet riffs that support the feel good piano chords. With organic flavour in this top track has vintage nostalgic elements to it that simply awake memories from the past and give you some form of reassurance for the future. #PureGold Love it[/content]
