I don't know if they've listed it yet, but here is the list for most of the acts there:

A A# Bb B C C# Db D D# Eb E F F# Gb G G#

In the case of entries such as Ravi Shankar, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Cheb Khaled, the number of tones may be a bit larger though ;-)

springlike makes me laugh. there's also autumnal and wintry.

(And I am of course talking completely bullshit, now that I see cutty's post, but.... ) :-)

Is there any reason you're hating on Ab, Geir, since you did both variations on all the other sharp/minors?
[insert hilarious joke about muscular music]
