| Emma by crissew | 1 year ago |
| It's been quite a while since I've heard something unique and mesmerizing on Icomp...this is it. Vocals and back-up processed vocals added the hook to the song. Weird, quirky and yet haunting. Production was great...I loved it. | |
| [LiesToChildren] Horizon by Eidolonia | 1 year ago |
| Interesting. Reminds me of the Moody Blues, Pink Floyd on heavy metal storytelling albums. I liked it. | |
| Saturated ++ by RAVENS | 1 year ago |
| Long time since I've listened to you. I'm the one who has been missing a real treat. Love the song and as usual your voice has a haunting middle eastern ring to it. Love it. | |
| My MUSE (LikeMinds = Guitar55 & SoulSurvivor) by LikeMinds | 1 year ago |
| This was nice and well done. Congrats to all of you. | |
| Stems and Seeds (with me singing it) by pinkjimiphoton | 1 year ago |
| Blues do seem to be the genre that fits you best. Nice. | |
| It hurts me too (regular version) by pinkjimiphoton | 1 year ago |
| Vocals sound really good in G...keep it up...good guitar. |
|
| Always And Forever (final remix??) by pinkjimiphoton | 1 year ago |
| Key of A is easy for guitarist (as is E and G), but your vocals might be better sung in C or D as they are so soft and low, that the distinctiveness of what you are singing sometimes get lost. Like the song and your vocals are fine...just too low and soft. | |
| I Cant Resist by Fredriksen | 1 year ago |
| Good sound and production. | |
| Funky T Break by Fredriksen | 1 year ago |
| Bass and an B-3 organ would complete the sound. It would be easy to add vocals to this. Good job. | |
| 95 bpm by Fredriksen | 1 year ago |
| A little Traffic, Steve Winwood and Santana mixture. Nice. I think I like this the best of what I've heard from you so far. | |
| My Lucky Lamb by Fredriksen | 1 year ago |
| Nice guitar riffs. | |
| 123456 by Fredriksen | 1 year ago |
| Liked the lead. If you could remix and add a short crunch as a rhythmic bass add in, it would take it up a notch and a half. Really nice playing. | |
| Little-Red-Corvette by grathy | 1 year ago |
| I liked it...was different from some of your other songs, but it was great. | |
| QUIETLEY FLOATING BY by geoffuk | 1 year ago |
| Great sounding track...well played and mixed. Love the slow gituar sustains and doubling. | |
| I'll Be Seeing You by Vixen | 1 year ago |
| Vixen....grew up with this style (parents were professional musicians during the big band era) and so I've had a chance to hear a lot of tunes done poorly. This one was really tasteful and the vocals were divine. Some of you're other tunes are very good as well. I'll try and try and drop comments on them as well. Igor...really nice production. |
|
| The Tyrants by crissew | 1 year ago |
| Once again...very good. Production was excellent and the collab was a good one. | |
| True Love by crissew | 1 year ago |
| Very good. You're on my favorite page. | |
| Montana Highway (Final) by crissew | 1 year ago |
| Another vocal monstrosity...really something else. | |
| Scars Remain- R&B version by crissew | 1 year ago |
| Another great production and vocals are top notch...why rap when you have a great set of pipes. Rap is wasted on you and your future lies with melodic vocals... | |
| Runnin On Empty by crissew | 1 year ago |
| This is very good...really good. Strong vocals and engineering of song. The vocals carry the day. | |
| Could It Be I'm Falling In Love SS Reunion by morgan102 | 1 year ago |
| Good voice and sung with a real fervor. Good job. | |
| The Closer I get 2 U by hiphopmoses | 1 year ago |
| This is good...don't knock your voices...they're fine...both of you. Brings back old memories to an old coot. Thanks, Kent |
|
| WHAT ABOUT ME? by SISTERS | 1 year ago |
| Another very good song. You've got soul. The lyrics are great although I offer a small suggestion that you might consider keeping it in the first person in the line "it's you we have to please" to "it's you I've got to please." Once again, strong vocals. Are there really two of you or are you doubling your own vocals? As Jim Carrey would say...smokin' Kent |
|
| COUGAR LOVE by SISTERS | 1 year ago |
| Great recording. Professional production and very catchy melodic arrangement. The vocals were definitively top 40 (yeah...you can sing) and they image invoked by your voice is a sultry young pop star. In other words...this was really good...maybe the top ten I've heard on i-comp over the past 6 years. Kent |
|
| Won't Wait Another Eon by GaryLester | 1 year ago |
| Production and vocals were professional quality. The sound is different from what we normally hear. I like it. But the vocals are quite good. | |
| You Turned My Head Around by SCJohnson59 | 1 year ago |
| Really nice. First time to hear you...won't be the last. | |
| PART OF THIS WORLD by KCsGROOVE | 1 year ago |
| A sound reminiscent of "Mike& the Mechanics" or "Genesis." I liked it. An 80's sound... | |
| China Girl by Vixen | 1 year ago |
| Interesting instrumentation from the bells to the harmonica. Nice. | |
| I'll Always Be Your Fool (with Rosalinda) by Naaji | 1 year ago |
| Soft, laid back jazz diddy...nice! | |
| DOWNTOWN PEOPLE (w.ZamZam ) by Barretok | 1 year ago |
| Nice groove and just enough outside "bang-a-rama" to keep it interesting |
|
| LAID BACK FUNKY BLUES by geoffuk | 1 year ago |
 First time for me to comment in over a year. Your song was the reason. Good arrangement with instrumentation and production. Did you use two guitar takes or use a processor to do the dual lead licks. Really nice. Scooter |
|
| My Darkest Hour by grathy | 2 years ago |
| Poetry is nice...good content and the background music is a very nice fit. | |
| Entwined by Naaji | 3 years ago |
| Ramonaji: Vocals were too far back in the mix...good vocals, but hard to hear. Suggest you sing w/out any effects on a track. Copy the performance to a second and if necessary a third track...then add some effect to one track while keeping at least on track minimal with little or no processing. GB has a "clarity" effect for vocals on the podcast side that would press your vocals through the mix. Tweak and keep all three or delete one, but keep playing with some reverb and compression...not necessarily on the same track...until the vocals break through. Understand, I'm not a mixing expert, but it has worked for me and your voice is way too good to be hidden within the mix. Liked the song lunatrick. You two are a nice combination. |
|
| Baby, Don't Cry by born2rock | 3 years ago |
| Good lyrics and the vocals and harmonies are nice. Only constructive comment would be for the backing musical bed to be a little more prominent in the mix...especially the lead guitar part. Good job. |
|
| Why? by borris | 3 years ago |
| Love the idea to create the melodic line. Production on this puppy is first class (I mean commercial) and the vocals remind me a little of a late 1960-early 70's group called the Association. Really good stuff. | |
| It Don't Mean A Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing) by grathy | 3 years ago |
| That's my girl...back in the genre that you really light up. My mother (who is 97 and played piano and sang professionally in the big band era) currently lives in a nursing home and she got to hear you as I took her to the online computer in her wing. After determining that she couldn't hear it on the computer speakers (little hard of hearing), I slipped on some Bose headphones and cranked it up. She tapped her toes and moved her feet (all from the wheelchair) and whooped it up big time. Then I had to take her to the piano in her wing where she played for nearly and hour getting all the other ladies all fired up. I've downloaded this song now and may do the same for some of your other period pieces. Thanks for making momma's day...and mine. |
|
| Pretzel Logic by ClayPotts | 3 years ago |
| Listened to What would happen if we kiss "LittleHooligan." Loved your vocals, but this musical track/genre is more my style...R&B/Blues. You did a great job backing vocals. ClayPotts...great job, both vocally, instruments and the production. You two can make a career out of this. |
|
| Stop War - Plague by dirigent | 3 years ago |
| I've written two manuscripts (fiction novels) that I'll be pitching this next fall at a writer's conference. I'm doing soundtracks to cover the story lines. I consider you exceptionally talented in this arena and your music is inspiring me to uncover the stories in the same manner that you have. Excellent...moody, but excellent. |
|
| Aint Enough, "The Video" by alanatomic | 3 years ago |
| Loved the audio and now the video...another download. You're killin' me. | |
| Can You Stop The Rain by morgan102 | 3 years ago |
| Unbelievable voice and the melodic track and backing vocals are top notch. I'm no spring chicken and this takes me back to my Motown youth. | |
| The Breakthrough (Guitar Version) by music_man | 3 years ago |
| I think this is the first time I listened to you...and if this song is an indicator, it won't be the last. Great job on the entire production. You can play guitar, but the important qualities of this mix is that you blended it wonderfully. Great job. |
|
| Good Thang by n2groove | 3 years ago |
| R&B and Blues are a large part of where I've come from and this is a great mix. The lyrics hit the spot...the real "thang." You've got some real pipes and the guitar work is awesome. | |
| wanna go for a ride by Lapskin | 3 years ago |
| Was it easy mixing and constructing in Ableton Live? I've still got the four version and have not upgraded and was just curious. The song sounded goo and the mix was a good one. Just curious. |
|
| Take Me Down to the Dungeon by Naaji | 3 years ago |
| This one was different (hence the alternative genre!). The beat and bass lines followed your vocals well and added a presence...while a herd of elephants cavorted in the background? Did you use multiple vocal tracks? It sounded like it. Good production techniques and everything was mixed well. Gotta figure where to play this. Not bad, but it takes several plays to latch on to the driving beat and lyrics...elephants? |
|
| How (Studio version) by Dyl | 3 years ago |
| Good vocals, nice arrangement and engineering. really liked the space created by the scarcity of instruments. | |
| Let it go (David Wilcox) by ScottCarmichael | 3 years ago |
| You talent level is among the best on icomp and is truly commercial in nature. Your faith is important to you and I appreciate that you're willing to let the rest of us on this musical network share it with you. God Bless... |
|
| Eighty Four by Waleed | 3 years ago |
| The musical rhythmic pulses add to the special nature of this piece. I like doing the same thing and find this more than interesting. | |
| Dreams' Fake Ambitions by Waleed | 3 years ago |
| aesthetically pleasing interlude... nice and relaxing. If you extend it out, it might have a few more formats where it could be used. | |
| White Sand by lewisgreenbaba | 3 years ago |
| While I loved atomic cows (and I'm still chucking over what you pulled off), I liked this better than the other pieces I've listened to as it was totally rhythmic... and oh yeah, I really like jazz with a touch os salsa. Really good stuff. | |
| AC Rhythm by lewisgreenbaba | 3 years ago |
| This did have funk and soul. Organ and brass sections carried it well. Brass could have been louder and more stabs in the mix. | |
| Train Of Life by lewisgreenbaba | 3 years ago |
| Do you like little jazz "diddies" cause this certainly qualifies as one. The quality of the guitar recording picked up about a third of the way through the song. What did you do? Whatever it was, keep it. | |
| Atomicows by lewisgreenbaba | 3 years ago |
| This is so different and so cool. It's a moooving experience. Great guitar work and the bass is driving the rhythm...love the "moo's" and the art cover is.... well, moooving. You need a song titled "Eat Mor Chickin" Sorry if I'm having fun with this song, but I love it. |
|
| Where Would I be? by RAVENS | 3 years ago |
| One last time...great layered vocals and the harmonies were tremendous. Sounds a lot like Sade and you are commercial...if that's what you want. Production was top notch and the mix... magnificent. |
|
| Whatcha Say? by RAVENS | 3 years ago |
| OK, OK, OK... You two are really good in this collab and both deserve kudos. Barretok, the musical tracks were tasty and in sync with the sexy and rich vocals of Raven (or Dani?) You also were great with the spoken response to her steamy and suggestive vocals..(the lyrics didn't hurt either. Raven, this is my second listen to you on icomp and you have an excellent set of pipes...and know just how to apply them. Phrasing was tremendous. |
|
| Hush Hush by RAVENS | 3 years ago |
| First time to tune you in... it won't be my last. After having read a few of the comments made by others, I would concur that it is operatic in a manner, but the melodic arrangement allowed the mood you expressed vocally to really stand out. I'll listen to some other tunes of yours to see if your vocals are as dramatic and intense. It was good...really good. | |
| Trapped (an Overture) by RolandOfGilead | 3 years ago |
| To both of you... Weird and Wonderful in the same breath. | |
| Still Alive. Song for iComp by RolandOfGilead | 3 years ago |
| Creative use of synth stabs and the other occasional instrument intros. | |
| Tonsil Trot (Just added my vocals on this grat tune by PlusUltra) by RolandOfGilead | 3 years ago |
| Great bass and yes, the vocals do need to be hotter. | |
| My Angel (Found the Devil in Me) by jkane | 3 years ago |
| Minimalist, but rich with space around the few rhythmic beats. Love the vocal harmonies. | |
| MudBug Boogie by Scorp | 3 years ago |
Big Texas Sound is right. This really rocks... |
|
| No Escape From Amy (My Vocal Debut!) by PiranhaLake | 3 years ago |
| Great vocals. You've got this genre down pat and I'm glad that you do. Surf's up dude. | |
| Slip Stream by PiranhaLake | 3 years ago |
| A Blast from the past.. .unfortunately this was my era (Yeah I'm old). Enjoyed it and unashamd to admit it. | |
| Abre Alas by Aruera | 3 years ago |
| The jazz progression you use is interesting and the pieces work together. Need to flesh out where you want to take it. It has potential if you'll flesh it out. | |
| The Track Of Time (finished) by feenixx | 3 years ago |
| Always looking for those who push the envelope and this piece does that. Once again, many of your pieces fit a film/TV documentary or a multi style presentation format. Enjoyed the constantly shifting sonic palette. | |
| 4th: Bare by DavidBowles | 3 years ago |
| Lyrics were meaningful and the simplicity of the presentation added to it's effectiveness. | |
| Cover-Jumpin' Jack Flash by DavidBowles | 3 years ago |
| Electric, eclectic and divergent...great new adaptation. Loved it. |
|
| Pulp-4-Solomon Kane Wields the Voodoo Staff by DavidBowles | 3 years ago |
| Film/TV score material and very good. It does fit the setting you spoke of. It also fits some of teh scenes from Mel Gibson's Apocalypse as well as other lush jungle or mideast settings. Nice. | |
| Ravaged II by Figurochi | 3 years ago |
| Listened to the first Ravaged before I listened to this one. The acoustic build up to begin made this song better in my opinion and the extra instrumentation to compliment the beginning was nice as well. Liked the drums midway through the pice and the harmonic guitars (and the hammering lead as well. |
|
| Ravaged by Figurochi | 3 years ago |
| Great guitar playing and yes I can picture the destruction. | |
| Trembled Chaser by Rune by RiGee | 3 years ago |
| Really driving sound. Aggressive, yet melodic. Best application would be in film or as a TV track. Good job guys.. | |
| Harp 'N Soul by RubyDubidoux | 3 years ago |
| Ruby...this is good and don't sweat the loops at all. Really enjoyed it. | |
| Tight Jeans by RubyDubidoux | 3 years ago |
| OK, OK... Ruby, Ruby, Ruby... you really can write lyrics. That was amazing... and the steam generated by the vocals was smoking hot. Mick, the musical tracks were well done and the production of the entire piece made it seem as if you were at a club in New Orleans. If you ever remix, add a little crowd noise in the background and it'll fit it to a tee. | |
| Awkward Love by Naaji | 3 years ago |
| This is dance beat, but not a typical dance rhythm (drone...over and over and over a pulsating beat. The talking vocal is cool and I liked this. | |
| Soul Stealer (W/ BorisLuxx) by Naaji | 3 years ago |
| This is...well, let's just say great. | |
| Platinum Sky (w/ BorisLuxx) by Naaji | 3 years ago |
| The two of you have a thing...a musical thing. Again great production | |
| Cigarette at the Metro Station (avec BorisLuxx) by Naaji | 3 years ago |
| Production was nice as was the arrangement. Just enough variation throughout so that it didn't become a drone beat. As usual, your vocals were the crowning touch. | |
| Me Vuelvo Loco (A Two-Year Celebration) by herrsolera | 3 years ago |
| Listened to “Comienzo” first and then took the e-train over to this piece. I like both version. Only comment would be to make the entry of the vocals at the beginning as if you were recording at the end. Soft is OK, but it sounded as if the singer was standing in the bathroom and the mic was in the hallway...really distant and faint. It is a good piece and you two work well together and I like the Spanish vocals. | |
| Overdrive -10- "The Gunslinger" by Surak | 3 years ago |
| You were right, I like this and your guitar reminds me a lot of our guitar player. Good stuff. Appreciate the e-mail. | |
| The Hunt (UF) by becwil | 3 years ago |
| Thematic and primal in nature...this would make a great soundtrack to a documentary...it sets a mood that is haunting, yet driving. | |
| Ave Maria by dirigent | 3 years ago |
| Haunting...Heavenly...Heartfelt | |
| The King Of The Faeries (instrument audition) by feenixx | 3 years ago |
| Loved the sparseness and open air quality of only three instruments...and oh yes, the instruments you created sounded great. | |
| Enceladus Encounter by feenixx | 3 years ago |
| Eclectic...and a little of the Space Odyssey and very interesting. | |
| Forward/Avanti by annamaria | 3 years ago |
| Different...with a mood that lifts and inspires...I like it. | |
| Ar Wezenn Avalou by AMBRADUNA | 3 years ago |
| This is very good...a musical blending of Celtic and mid-eastern with a touch of hip hop...love it. | |
| Green Ship On The Blue Sea by AMBRADUNA | 3 years ago |
| This is well done and you've got a gift...keep sharing with the rest of us. | |
| I Want to be Like Jesus (for dancing) by Naaji | 3 years ago |
| I am a Christian and write basically tunes that come from him (instrumental or lyrical), but I find this delightful and you are really gifted. This tune works. | |
| I Love Your Moves! (this time with music uploaded!) by Naaji | 3 years ago |
| Great collab as usual... | |
| Ca Va Bien by Naaji | 3 years ago |
| OK...OK...I'm a fan...especially with yosL. | |
| Bach & African Ghost Drum by RiGee | 3 years ago |
| Something old...something new...something timeless and something that grew. I really appreciated what you did and think it is a great piece. |
|
| Longing... by grathy | 3 years ago |
| Grathy...you know I like your work, but didn't know that you had the instrumental side to what you do as well. Yosi, I'm gonna tune you in. I really liked the piece...soft soul with a groove. | |
| Black 777 -06 - The Price You Pay by Surak | 3 years ago |
| Production level on this one was good. Did you double the vocals with effects (especially delay) because it tended to make your vocals slurred just enough that they were hard to follow (I'm am old man who doesn't listen to a lot of metal...just like the guitar work) on certain phrases in the beginning. Understand that metal is not necessarily my forte, but this is another well produced piece. Congrats... |
|
| Madman Comments 10 "April Showers" by Surak | 3 years ago |
| Caught you featured on the cover page of i-comp and decided to listen to several of your songs (Unplugged Randy Rhodes Dee; Second to Last Reload Garageband; Band 2nd to last and #4 Bad Wolf 2.5 for a few). All these pieces demonstrated your skill with the guitar and you have capabilities that are varied and loaded with talent. This particular piece was the first one that I listened to that provided a major label recording studio quality to it however. The mood was a fixture that you wove a texture throughout the piece while the mixing levels and the riffs you hammered down fit the song to a tee. Don't get me wrong, the others were good...but this one was exceptional. I'll listen to some other works you've produced and keep up the good work |
|
| Glamorous Sky (Mika Nakashima cover) by Figurochi | 3 years ago |
| Constructive comment if I may. Play it in a lower key where you're not bouncing your vocal s of the top of your range and kess guitar and more effects vocally. It's a good song, but sounds like a "one take special" on one channel when it comes to mixing and producing. I like your style and just want your best sound coming out. |
|
| Europa (Santana cover) by Figurochi | 3 years ago |
| You enjoyed playing it and I enjoyed listening to it. | |
| Going South by Figurochi | 3 years ago |
| Reminiscent of the 1970's "Sunshine of Your Love" intro and then it breaks down into a blues riff and the back into the same bass/guitar riff. Work on some lyrics as this has a hook to it with the bass/guitar thing. | |
| Sledgehammer by farfor44 | 3 years ago |
| Another good production and you played the "funkmeister" role pretty well. Enjoyed the guitar break and slide back tot he groove. | |
| This Could Last All Night by farfor44 | 3 years ago |
Good rocking tune...well produced. |
|
| Heaven in your eyes by farfor44 | 3 years ago |
I enjoyed the melodic style (dark David "Bowieish"  and the vocal arrangement was reminiscent of a late 1970's Kinks meet Traffic sound. The lyric repetition of "I believe it" fit the melody but the rest of the lyrics didn't tell me much of a story. Sorry about that...just wanted to let you know that I really liked the arrangement...just got lost in the lyrics. |
|
| Take Me Tonight (w/lyrics) by RubyDubidoux | 3 years ago |
| Because my parents were both professional musicians (1930's through mid 70's) and I grew up listening to a wide variety of musical styles, this was a style of song that I really liked. Wonderfully done. PS...I love the Latin style. |
|
| Goofy Is On A Groove by guitar55 | 3 years ago |
| A soulful blend of Jazz and a rock lead guitar. Mellow and Masterful... | |
