| IN THE NIGHT SO BLUE by Barretok | 11 months ago |
| I like how this tune crawls in slowly... with the shakers and then that great horn part. Perfect production as always, with a great vocal and lyrics. That horn really makes the tune. Top work, Bernardo. |
|
| Sweet Jane (revisited) by jkane | 11 months ago |
 Came back for another listen to one of my all-time favorite icomp songs. Standin' on a corner, with their guitars in their hands.. jkane and dylan, they oughta form themselves a rock and roll band. And everyone who ever had a heart, they'd turn 'em up loud and listen. |

| Shenandoah (remixed) by Mystified | 11 months ago |
Stunning performance, Cat. This update takes something that was perfect and makes it even better. I really like the new Steinway sound. And of course your voice is magic. Pure magic. |
|
| Less than we need by PurePerversity | 11 months ago |
Nice, happy song. There is a lot going on here, and I think the rest of the comments capture the depth of this performance which might be lost on a casual listener. The dynamics, interplay of the vocals, layering and building of the piece make it all come together into something magnificent. It is clear you put your heart and soul into this one, PP. Great effort by all involved! |

| Vinterland by brnPetra | 11 months ago |
Fantastic. Petra, Dyl, Johan, you make a great combination. The guitar/bass/organ and keys/strings are a perfect foundation for the soulful, expressive voices. I hope your music finds many listeners, they will all certainly be pleased. |

| Try - Beyond(LIVE) by jack1972 | 11 months ago |
| Nice heavy sound. Great live recording, everything is in there. Bass sounds very good. Powerful, strong vocals. Nice work all around! |
|
| iCweekly Clowns by Nick_W | 11 months ago |
LOL - you capture the spirit of iCweekly in a fun-loving sense. I'm sure the guys will get a kick out of your work here. And... nice kazoo solo from freedsounds.com  |

| Running out of sand 0.2 by AdamStolterman | 11 months ago |
Gorgeous harmonies - has a nice CSNY, Joni Mitchell, Yes feel. Very well done - thanks for sharing. As you can tell from our runes, we're big fans of harmonies |
|
| Love Me Do by Tony2008 | 11 months ago |
A rockin' cover indeed. Nice vocals, and the heavy guitar sounds cool. |
|
| HAVE ME GENTLY by KCsGROOVE | 11 months ago |
| oOo and KC, you are great together. Nice tasty groove here with some nice licks and great vocals/lyrics. I hope you will do more collaborations! | |
| Glacial Age (Reprise) by Bob6stringer | 11 months ago |
| What an intriguing piece of music, Bob. Many listens required to take it all in. I like the references to Yes that others have commented on, with a hint of Blues, Folk, and even Electronica. You worked hard and covered all the bases - well done! | |
| long gone by that80sboy | 1 year ago |
Great tune, Mark. Great vocals, guitar, and the roland sounds great. Well done! And... Happy Birthday! |
|
| 15 Weeks (HTB) by becwil | 1 year ago |
| The picture sets the mood nicely. Rhythmic, hypnotic, mechanical, capricious. Toy soldiers on the march. Then the guitars creep in toward the end... just a little bit, like dipping a toe into the shallow end of Surak's pool. Careful Bec, I hear there is a scary monster in there, and it just might pull you in and turn you into a Kauai Headbanger! Great work, looking forward to the rest of the journey in the Hard to Bear collection. -- Alan |

| Muddy Water - trial mix #6, FINAL? for Bridge Creek CD by BridgeCreek | 1 year ago |
| Hee Hee - those who know Dave know that is a big back-handed British compliment to the one and only James Big-Beat Moore!!!! What is cool about Bridge Creek (in addition to the fact that the bass player can now retire forever from mixing) is that we have not 1 but basically 4 drummers: The incomparable James Moore from the United Kingdom, the fabulous and wise Tony Grant from Canada, the erudite Dean Thurston (emeritus, retired, gone to educate the next generation of musicians) and the phenomenal Scott Garvey (who you see behind the kit with us every night in our home town of Portland, Oregon). Thanks Dave for listening, and we appreciate your feedback (and your english wit!!) |
|
| I Meant Every Word by born2rock | 1 year ago |
| this is a great trip... hard to find a song that defies classification into a genre but this one sure does. Mark heard Abba, and I'm hearing Enya. And still a little bit of Velvet Underground. But in a fresh and original way. Hope you two do more songs together, this is very impressive. |
|
| Miss No Name by born2rock | 1 year ago |
Hi Born, welcome to icomp! Hey we have something in common right away: I hate mixing too. As for the tune: well, I dig it. Reminds me a bit of Lou Reed, Velvet Underground. I seem to be in a Lou Reed mood. I think the mix works: it has a lo-fi, no-name feel that fits the theme of the tune. This is stripped down, and it makes a point. What more can you ask for? |
|
| Daddy is Sad by lupiroz | 1 year ago |
Beautiful. Sad, emotional, brilliant. Has a feeling of Lou Reed, Jefferson Airplane, Pink Floyd, The Who. This is the real thing. |
|
| Happy 5th iComp Birthday Ballet by lupiroz | 1 year ago |
Well done Bea and Lupi - a great birthday present!!! |
|
| heartbeat away by that80sboy | 1 year ago |
VERY cool. I like how you take your time in getting the vocals in there. Had I not seen the song description, they might have been an even bigger surprise... Great vocal, classic feel, and well done on the lyrics. |

| Muddy Water - trial mix #6, FINAL? for Bridge Creek CD by BridgeCreek | 1 year ago |
| Well friends, when Tony, Dave, and Ed all say it's in the can, then its in the can. As the BC gang says, stick a fork in it. Thanks so much for all your advice, education, and support. I can safely say we couldn't have done it without you. Icomp is a blessing - many thanks, all. -- Alan |

My oh my... Bing this is a treasure. When you got your Tele, the world became a better place. Cheers from Oregon, Alan and BC |
|
| A Road Less Traveled by TheTiler | 1 year ago |
This is gorgeous. Elegant in its simplicity, and easy on the ears. Reminded me of something that we might have heard in the Haight-Asbury during the Summer of Love. Maybe that summer is back again - and none too soon. |
|
| Goldfish by barely_amy | 1 year ago |
nothing changes... same castle, different day, and the treasure's always made of plastic. round and round and round and round and... Well done Amy. I think Bill Murray could make a movie about this song! |
|
| What I Dont Need Now - trial mix #4 by BridgeCreek | 1 year ago |
| Thanks everyone. Tony good catch on the bass and guitars and snare/HiHat. I moved the bass to center, and panned the guitars a little to make the mix a little less right-heavy. I also EQed the bass a little bit so that the snare and HiHat now cut through better. I appreciate everyone providing feedback. A couple more mixes and I think we're have these tunes in the can. -- Alan |
|
| Muddy Water - Trial Mix #4 for Bridge Creek CD by BridgeCreek | 1 year ago |
| Thanks so much Tony, Pharm, Nlsn, Shadow. Tony, I'll lower that bass (never let the bass player mix ) I'll listen to all the levels and tweak some more. Your advice has been invaluable - feels like we're getting better each time. It takes me a long time and many mixes to get 'em right. It is great to have such patient, helpful music experts on this site to learn from. Have a great weekend! -- Alan |
|
| Sonic V (for collaboration) by Filmscorz | 1 year ago |
Classic, Jeff... classic. Will give this one, and the others a listen for sure. So nice to see you posting collabs. This is what makes icomp so special. You're the man! |

| the end of 2008 by particledots | 1 year ago |
| Wow. What a great musical canvas you have painted on here Bryn. I'm currently surrounded by happy playing kids and will be giving this a careful listen on headphones later over this long weekend. Thanks very much for providing a download button - I'm looking forward to it! Here's to the end of 08... and I'm off to listen to the beginning of 09 next. --- Alan |

| A Captain's Christmas by herrsolera | 1 year ago |
Ahhhh.... beautiful! Another masterpiece holiday medley from Dan, downloaded to my best of icomp Christmas playlist for tomorrow while we open gifts. I was hoping Santa would bring another Herrsolera holiday tune, and here it is! Well done my friend, and Happiest of Holidays to you! -- Alan |

| God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen by Supergroovsonic | 1 year ago |
Barry, wow - what a wonderful interpretation of this classic holiday tune. Just downloaded it to my all-time best icomp Christmas tunes playlist on my ipod. Will put you in this years top tunes, and we'll be listening to it in Oregon on Christmas day. Thanks for making the season extra special, and Happy Holidays! -- Alan |

| What I Dont Need Now #2 trial mix for CD, Needs David Vocals by BridgeCreek | 1 year ago |
| Thanks Dyl, FE. Very helpful, and much appreciated you stopped by. I'll be mixing new versions this week (in all the snow in Portland), will make sure all your feedback gets incorporated. Happy Holidays, Alan |
|
| What I Dont Need Now #2 trial mix for CD, Needs David Vocals by BridgeCreek | 1 year ago |
| Great feedback as always. Garni had some cool ideas on how get the drums and bass right in the mix. Main issue I'm seeing in this thread was the effects I put on the guitars - last version needed more EQ but I think I picked the wrong EQ. I have an idea on how to fix it: I'll have David come over, sing his backing vocals, and sit with me till his guitar sounds the way he wants it to sound. I'll post the updated track in a week or so. I have a feeling that in a couple more mixes I'll finally get it right. It takes a village to help me mix a tune Maybe I'll just need to go take a class and actually learn how to mix. (or better yet I think our next CD we have a line on a studio that will record us and mix us so I can be the little old bass player and song writer).MANY, MANY thanks for all the great comments. Irok all the best. Tony, you are the man and always will be. Henno, Pharm, 4arms, Jeff, have a happy holiday!!!!!! -- Alan |
|
| What I Dont Need Now - trial mix for CD, needs Davids backing vocals by BridgeCreek | 1 year ago |

| Muddy Water - first trial mix for CD, still needs Davids vocals by BridgeCreek | 1 year ago |
| Very, very helpful. Will get a new mix out incorporating all this insightful comments. Thanks so much Julian, Dave, Pharm, B. | |
| JUST LIKE CATS by Barretok | 1 year ago |
| Great rolling yowling, howling, alley-cat brawling feel on this tune. I like how it ebbs and flows. The intro is fabulous. The guitar solo in the middle will scare even the meanest cats away. Well done B! | |
| Muddy Water - first trial mix for CD, still needs Davids vocals by BridgeCreek | 1 year ago |
| Thanks Shadow and Feenix, your feedback is greatly appreciated. We have lots of snow dumping here in Portland, so we'll be adding the final backing vocals and mixing/mastering as soon as the roads clear (Oregonians don't do snow well Hope to have better versions of the tunes up in a couple days. Will be posting 1 more soon called What I Don't Need Now. Cheers, -- Alan |

|
| Trash Can Jam by Rocha_Malhada | 1 year ago |
| John and Harold this is mighty fine. The guitar is fantastic, and that Sears Gas Grill is right in tune (does it take a village to tune one of those???) Nicely done, guys. -- Alan |
|
| Mary-Lou - Deluxe Chance by wal4u | 2 years ago |
| Ya this is a nice groove. Dylan recommended this song to me and he said it well above. Smooth bass, sounds great. This reminds me a little of a bluesy, funky Steely Dan. Nicely done. | |

| Treat Me Right - old version Jan 13 2008 by BridgeCreek | 2 years ago |
| Julian, B, Feenixx, Laz: thanks a lot for the helpful feedback. We're going to take another shot at Treat Me Right mixing and final vocal work based on this feedback. Here is my "Punch list" so far, to finish the song: - Drop volume of backing vocals in chorus - Re-do or drop backing vocal in 2nd part of last verse - Get rid of the places where the lead vocal hisses and pops, or have Lisa re-record it. I'll be working on these and any other suggestions people have in the next few days. Then I'll pull down this version and re-post a new improved version. I appreciate these suggestions. Thanks a lot! -- Alan |

| I Had a Dream (DC18 Finale) by padowan_learner | 2 years ago |
Vibrant, energetic piece, with great production. I like the rhythm throughout, and especially toward the end. The piece has a mystical, and then the ending has a feel to me of east meets west. Wonderful music, thanks for sharing. |
|
| LONG NIGHT by Barretok | 2 years ago |
Haunting and powerful - great performance and production, Bernardo, well done. |
|
| Any Other Way - Studio Version, Oct 6 2007 by BridgeCreek | 2 years ago |
| Thank you so much Padowan, Shadow, and Bob6 - it is very rewarding as musicians to have thoughtful people give the music a careful listen. We are taking your comments to heart, and your timing is perfect to offer them because we're still figuring out how we want our "studio" sound to come across. I have been doing the mixing, and it's dangerous to let a bass player into the control room Your feedback has already given me a few ideas on where to go next, so many thanks to all of you. I hope we get some more listeners and helpful feedback along these lines. Thank you kindly, Alan & Bridge Creek |

|
| Fate Astray (English Version) by spootane | 2 years ago |
| Like the slight echo on the intro in the left channel - then cool how the tune kicks in. I could use a little more of the Musicman bass up in the mix (I just had to say that for Spootane ) Nice eastern flair to this song as 8Month said. Maybe a touch louder on that cool chorus - strange, and beautiful magic indeed. |
|
| Crisis Queen by andyfox | 2 years ago |
| Nice steady bet - like how the rhythm builds. I like how you mixed in the vocals - I have speakers spread out across my room and the effect of the vocals moving around the room is really cool. Good work, and good collaboration. | |
