| A Little Lost by etgilles | 21 days ago |
| OMG. Everytime I see "etgilles and jolofsson" in an iComp song update, I get so excited I practically fall out of my chair!! And once again, you two geniuses have managed to create a track that I #1) MUST DOWNLOAD IMMEDIATELY, #2) MUST place on my Favorites playlist! I adore, worship and love your collabs. Seriously. Congrats! |
|
| Vlad by jolofsson | 21 days ago |
| Hi J! Love this demo, but then I love most everything you do. This is excellent, though, and re: The drums - I feel they are big and bold and NOT overpowering at all. They lend to the strength of the song and balance sweetly with the softer, lovely lyrics. But that's just my observation. |

| boys with there toys by Lapskin | 21 days ago |
| Lappy, I swear you're gonna make my head explode. Once a month (and more if I can squeeze it into my schedule) I take time to head over here and comment on as much music as I can. But every night - at 9:02 p.m. exactly - I get an email alerting me to New Music Posted By My iComp Favorite Artists, and most all of them are YOU. For the love of GOD, I don't know how you do it (or how I'm supposed to listen to them all, cuz I want to , I do!)...Anyway, with that said, I randomly chose this one to listen to and comment on: Of course, I love it. The BPM breakdown is BRILLIANT, the beat is BIG and BOSS, and of course the "Boys With Their Toys" thing is right out of the PSB Handbook (which is AWESOMENESS). Kudos! Excellent! |
|
| Tear Your Playhouse Down by RubyDubidoux | 21 days ago |
| Kudos to you all, awesome job! Ruby, I agree with those above, you keep getting better and better. The simple, youth-like sound to your voice is unique and thoroughly lovely. Congrats! | |
| INTO MY HEART by SISTERS | 21 days ago |
 Fantastic! A lullaby for artists and your vocals, Anne, remind me of a cross between Melissa Etheridge & Heart. LOVE THIS! Kudos! |
|
| Trust Me by ShadowofNine | 21 days ago |
| As a child of the 80s and a student of the 90s, it gives me great pleasure to see the sounds merging, with a modern twist (usually vocally), to become what they are now calling everything from Pop to Electropop to EDM...Excellent job, as usual, 9. |

| Suh-weet, Omar! I love this. The tiny piano in the back is sweet and light, and I love it! Kudos to Jason for the lyrics and awesome vocals. AWESOMENESS. | |
| Heat of Pavement by olympus | 21 days ago |
P ~ Getting around to my monthly "sampling" on iComp, and - of course - I always head to my most favoritest people first...I like this. It doesn't have your signature "organic feel" like so much of your work does, but it's definitely straight up Trance. Re: The 4 on Production, I've noticed your final tracks are down a little volume-wise. Have you tried playing with Compression & Limiters on your Output or Master track? I've found that gives my tracks the necessary 'Ooomph!" it needs volume wise. Anyway, you're a stud. Excellent job. |
|
| Listen Up by ShadowofNine | 1 month ago |
| Another nugget of "odd" awesomeness! On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd give it a 9. ...Get it? A 9. A 9! Get it? Get it?? |

| Chrysochroa by ChrisComet1 | 7 months ago |
| First of all: DO NOT BE AFRAID OF WHAT YOU CALL "OUTSIDE OF MY ORIGINAL STYLE". Seriously, go where it takes you and that will ALWAYS be your style. ...and I like this. It's dark, eclectic fun. |
|
| Ecliptic (Dubstep Remix) by ChrisComet1 | 7 months ago |
| I agree with RT & M, it's unexpected thus interesting. And to expand on what RT was saying, aside from key line changes, I would fracture the main key line and only hint to it from beginning til, say, a breakdown, then reveal the whole thing and add another layer or two with octave changes. Excellent start, CC... |

| Thunderchunky by 21stCenturyExpress | 9 months ago |
| thanks so much Pharm. I love how you don't make it short and sweet and vague. you actually get specific in concise, comprehensive bursts. I like that. thanks again... ps: I'm sorry I made you sick. and I'm sorry my phazing is evil. I gotta work on that. |

| "Electrorockpopmusica" - trailer by 21stCenturyExpress | 9 months ago |
| Thanks Randolf - what's truly interesting is that on my comp, there's no video appearing! It's as if there is absolutely nothing there, and if I go to "edit", it's as if it were an audio file - except there is no audio file actually there. <sigh> Apparently, you and 54 others have viewed it, and you found it interesting so something, SOMEWHERE is working right! |
|
| Never Let Me Down Again by randolf | 9 months ago |
Ubercool interpretation. A hint of 60's lounge with just a nod towards Goth-light. Kudos! |

| Please by 21stCenturyExpress | 9 months ago |
| Luna: Bingo. RR: Thank you & yes, I feel the sentiment of the song is more relatable than most would feel comfortable admitting. |
|
| New Leaf by pharmakeus | 9 months ago |
| I am always fascinated by your vocals, Pharm, though the staggered tempo and warped guitars here seem to aggressively fight against them. Still, this eclectic venture into obstruction-less soundscapes deserves kudos to you and G. |
|
| Gonna Make You Happy by thenownows | 9 months ago |
Brilliant vocal arrangement, melody line - love it! |
|
| Who Is That Tambourine Man? by RubyDubidoux | 9 months ago |
| Oh, Ruby how I've missed your voice! What a fantastic gift to drop by and be greeted by this. It's straight-forward, stylized, and deliciously raw. Your harmonies send me straight to a different time - yet sound so fresh and like new! Very cool... |
|
| Nothing Else Matters by Vixen | 9 months ago |
Dramatic. Lush. Epic. Inventive...and I, personally, love the long orchestral opening. Kudos! |
|
| Good Enough Man-Demo by LunaBleu | 9 months ago |
I can't help but hear this as an old 78, played on a Victrola, bluegrass accompaniment etched in the background, with crackles and pops all throughout...Very atmospheric. |
|
| you wont find this down the sofa by Lapskin | 9 months ago |
| DnB, with your usual eclectic style stamped all over it. Edgy & warm at the same time. Nice work, Lappy! |

| Everlong (cover demo mix) by C_Man | 3 years ago |
| Amazing, really...Of course, Linda could mumble the telephone book and I'd be tickled. And, C-Man: awesome track beneath her. Another fave! PS: I love ya Linda! |
|
| BIG LOVE( Fleetwood Mac Cover) by RiGee | 3 years ago |
| Nice creation...Strong and driving, I likey! LOL - I am a big Fleetwood Mac fan, but for some reason my brain is drawing a blank on how this one goes!! I remember it (and that I liked it) but for the life of me, I can't hear it in my head!! Ugh!! 21 |
|
| Opportunities [Let's Make Lots of Money!] by randolf | 3 years ago |
with the exception of some very, very, very minor tonal issues, I absolutely love this reinterpretation. The original is one of my FAVORITE songs EVER and this version zooms right up next to it. The rap is exceptional in its meaning and I love how you almost mirror PSB's rap-speak style, yet bring a fresh & original feeling to it. I can't tell you how much I love this!! 21 |
|
| hell bent by Lapskin | 3 years ago |
Do you hear that...? That ringing...in my ears...Hee hee, I likes it, Lappy. And it's perfectly placed, towards the end. It's intriguing and lasts just long enuf...Great job! 21 |
|
| Morning song by Marino_Experiment | 3 years ago |
I really like this alot...it's electronic AND acoustic, and everyone knows I love a mashed-up genre! The bass guitar is sweet, along with the synth stabs...Loves it! 21 |
|
| Chimpy's Village by RyanField | 3 years ago |
Ryan, I'm laughing my a** off from your description!! -ahem- but seriously, I likey! Strays a little in places, but that's a minor thing. I'll pretend and ignore it... 21 |
|
| Standing Right There(2) by musika | 3 years ago |
I don't know how old u are (you sound young), but I absolutely love it when young talent impresses me and you just did...Watch the vocals, pitch & key and such (you know where I'm talking about), but the instrument work is top-notch and the song is a lovely one. Congrats! 21 |
|
| TTOTLOB theme by bonsushi | 3 years ago |
As a filmmaker, as well, I often dip into soundtrack work, too - and I know how much different it is. This piece is fluid and filled with subtle anticipation and strength. Short, but sweet...though I'd love to hear the Closing Credits theme. 21 |
|
| Four seasons in one day (cover) acoustic by Toni1 | 3 years ago |
Great song, great vid, great great great ...did I mention, I think this is great? 21 |
|
| CRAVING FOR YOU by Barretok | 3 years ago |
| Bernardo: We were just talking in Chat, so you know how much I like this one...But just so everyone here sees, the song kicks butt and the production quality is off the hook!! Joe (21) |
|
| Find The Core by MakenaMonk | 3 years ago |
Definately special, definately enjoyable. The vox are so diversified, and layered well...Djev, you made me happy with this song - and it's light & bouncy, too. Never cease to amaze, my friend. Joe |
|
| SEED BANK by DeadGiveaway | 3 years ago |
Arrested Development meets a Gorillaz-sound...I often hate when people say "Reminds me of...", but in this case I mean it in the most complimentary way. Excellent! 21 |
|
| Techno Rave by dagerman | 3 years ago |
 I like the general direction you're headed - keep in mind, the loops here are commonly used ones, so filter/tweak/FX them until they're more your own. Less familiarity will help create a unique sound that's all you. Don't be afraid to throw everything but the kitchen sink at them...Nice beginning! 21 |
|
| Into the Flow (Part II) Open Collab by Filmscorz | 3 years ago |
Masterful, as usual FS...Great underlying sense of urgency. 21 |
|
| Looking by quviq | 3 years ago |
I like the urgency in this one's construction. Definately a classical soundtrack...Nice job, q! 21 |

| Won't It Shine by Lightman | 3 years ago |
I love your vocal structuring; and I am slowly becoming a fan of your harmonies - keep it up! 21 |
|
| Close Your Eyes by Lightman | 3 years ago |
Simple, elegant...love the harmonies. Very good effort... 21 |
|
| 1967 {Rain Rain Go Away} by pharmakeus | 3 years ago |
| At first, the analog quality took me aback - but it just goes to show you, never judge a book before you've read it cover to cover. Kudos! 21 |
|
| Lippedy Spit by JD | 3 years ago |
jd, once again you show us exactly why you are a man of means & an amazing MC. Kudos to all involved, truly, for its a testament to collabs as a whole... 21 PS: Your (daughters) artwork is precious! |
|
| Hurt by jolofsson | 3 years ago |
| I am not a big fan when someone says "Reminds me of...", but in this case it is soooooo meant as a compliment: Erasure - only better. 'Nuff said... 21 |
|
| Sly Pop (Open Collab) by Waleed | 3 years ago |
| I can sooooo see where this song is headed. The synths ride each other well, are layered nicely...gives the entire piece an almost urgent feel. Any way I can get a beat-less instrument-pella of this. I'd love to play with it... 21 |
|
| Angelus by jolofsson | 3 years ago |
As usual, you don't disappoint. This is an amazing piece of work, from the hi-hats, to the beat (which grabs you from its start), to the strings and - not the least of it - an amazing ramp-up on the chorus. Favorite, favorite, favorite!! 21 |
|
| The Coffee's Cold by mfwmiles | 3 years ago |
| Great piano line, nice retro feel - of several different eras, at that. 21 |
|
| Hot as Hell by TheCurmudgeons | 3 years ago |
| I love the bass and how it leads you forward from the beginning. Great lyrics, tells a very visual story... 21 |
|
| Lost by Narananda | 3 years ago |
| Great soundscape; belongs to a Sci-Fi/Fantasy soundtrack... 21 |
|
| Rainbow Connection (cover) by Geechi3 | 3 years ago |
| I can't believe you covered this song!! When I was a kid, I used to listen to the vinyl record soundtrack "The Muppet Movie" (which it is from) over and over and over and over again (Yes, I was a dork)...I think you sounded wonderful, Linda, so break a leg on Tuesday (and if it already happened, CONGRATS!). Yer the best, Linda, don't ever doubt that... Yer friend and Sometimes-Collaborator, Joe |
|
| Sexline by 21stCenturyExpress | 3 years ago |
| Wow, that is so awesome that you both got it! I fretted about its "spiky" sound, I worried about the vocals and whether the dynamics would blow like a breeze above everyone's heads...I'm grateful the first two commentators actually felt the wind in their face. And then, of course, there are the lyrics. Wasn't sure if I could get away with a theme like the seduction of a virgin. Interesting territory for me here...So, far everyone likes it, so thanks! 21 |
|
| Instrumental.4 by carmus | 3 years ago |
| Very "Round The World"; from the drums to the blocks to the flutes, it held me. While the chant at the end is a nice coda - if anything, too short! 21 |
|
| Long Distance Call by tireiron | 3 years ago |
Yeah, the slide just makes it...and the harp. Nice vox & harmonica blend. Kudos! 21 |
|
| confession fin rate by Mikemilate66 | 3 years ago |
What a debut! Killer track, and your vocals are awesome...I'm favoriting it right now. 21 |

Fun and quietly chaotic...I like it! Joe (21) |
|
| Phobia by dirigent | 3 years ago |
haunting and deep...beautiful vocals. excellent production work! kudos! Joe (21) |
|
| Limbo by C_Man | 3 years ago |
A subtle and sweetly dreamy collab...Linda's voice is in it's usual mesmerizing and tantalizing form, blending nicely with the light beat and breezy chimes. The clipping kinda bugs me (what can I say? I'm a perfectionist), but not enough to dock ya a star under Production...Kudos! 21 |
|
| You May Want To by 21stCenturyExpress | 3 years ago |
| OMG, how totally sweet!! thanks, JC! 21 |
|
| Zombies by LiamWalds | 3 years ago |
Next to "Sweet" this has got to be your finest achievement, to date. From the arrangement to orchestration to the beat, you've got it covered and covered impeccably. I am speechless, except to say that I consider myself lucky -- and someday I will say "I knew you when..." (not that I know you, but at least I heard you first!!). 21 |
|
| Don't Mind Me by LiamWalds | 3 years ago |
There is such solemn power to so many of your songs, it's really incredible...This one (like most) is another all-time favorite. I think your vocal arrangement was right on. Keep 'em coming! 21 |
|
| Takeaway by LiamWalds | 3 years ago |
What can I say without sounding like a broken record?? AMAZING... 21 |
|
| Feel Better by LiamWalds | 3 years ago |
Wow. Once again you wow me with your talent. And you don't have to pretend anything -- YOU HAVE ALBUMS...and I'd buy every one. Excellent & amazing work, and man, your style/voice just keeps getting better and better. Your No. 1 fan, 21 |
|
| Borealis by ThatGuy6 | 3 years ago |
| very nice, simple keyboard...the loops are used competently. would love a backbeat of somekind, to really kick it to the next level. as if you were flying towards and thru the Borealis, itself. you know? | |
| Inn Haathon ki by shubhamagarwal | 3 years ago |
beautiful...awesome vocals. now, i understand this is a rough cut (as i heard you state in chat) but if the ending were faded out or somehow complete, it'd be perfect. 21 |
