| Tear Your Playhouse Down by RubyDubidoux | 25 days ago |
| I take my hat off to you guys, great cover .. I remember (and love) this song from Paul Youngs' debut album No Parlez, with the Fabulously Wealthy Tarts doing BV's (must dig that out), never knew it was an Elton John song. I also respectfully applaud your ability to keep pumping out the tunes .. I cant seem to find the time to breath these days. The Planet Terror Strat is sounding mighty fine .. would loved to have heard a little more of Maco's wonderful bass playing in the mix, Im becoming a bit of a bass hound these days ... Elaine, another fine vocal. |

| Seeing Is Believing by artneuro | 25 days ago |
| Very different vibe from you here .. angry too ! I felt like this about an exbandmate too, my anger was nothing in comparison to my wifes though. Therapy ? Nah .. write a song and get it off your chest ! Nice one. Dave |

| Lock The Door by AlanStarkie | 25 days ago |
| I really admire the way you've structured the instrumentation and the music, really top sound and feel. The backing vocals are excellent and really add to the song. The guitar playing is great. My only criticism would be the distinction between verse/chorus ... the keys/strings are a little too much going from chorus to verse, would give more defintion to have the strings drop out a little for the start of the verse and build again for the chorus, I like a chorus to pop, but thats just my (probably) cliche'd feeling. You write great songs and make pro recordings, Im a fan. Dave |

| Fanfare For The Common Man by artneuro | 25 days ago |
| A guy I know did an insane cover of this to go on an ELP covers CD .. the Copland Estate refused permission at the last minute, thereby wasting 2 weeks of his time. Great job on this, tough to play but you did it ... there are definitely touches of Zappa in your lead playing, maybe Im imagining it. Is this the Terror strat in all it's glory, teamed up with the Ricky bass ? If so, they're sounding great. Dave |

| Heavier than a tonne of bricks .. Champion !! | |
| Sign of Love by Baboon | 2 months ago |
| Excellent track ... would like to hear those vocals higher in the mix. This sounds like the Longlines .. in that it doesnt sound like anyone else, you're definitely getting a cohesive "sound" to your music. Great job. | |

| Another Brick in the Wall by PunkFloyd | 3 months ago |
Love this one ... totally authentic, sounds like classic late 70's punk, the guitarist has some serious punk chops. We need a youtube video of a performance for all your long distance fans  |
|
| The Greatest Love of All by pharmakeus | 3 months ago |
| I was curious ... Pharmakeus doing THIS song ... Big Cojonas ! But I take my hat off to you ... outstanding folk version. She was simply an amazing talent, sadly she now serves as a great example to our kids .. don't waste your life and throw it all away on drugs. |
|
| On a Sunny Day by pharmakeus | 3 months ago |
| Chris .. next to Dave Grohl, you're the busiest man in rock. Big sound, kind of like Neil Young when he straps on the Les Paul and turns up to 11. Im digging the vibe here. |
|
| WONDERING by KCsGROOVE | 3 months ago |
| Cool song, I like the vibe, the guitar makes this motor, but I really like the close out guitar part, almost Genesis like. Dave |
|
| Walk on by by DaveM | 3 months ago |
| @KCsGROOVE .. Thanks, appreciate the comments. @zincshed .. Thanks .. at least it seems like thats a good thing, look forward to your feedback. I have sorted the problem out on the other song too. @RedthruNthru .. Thank you, you have all that is required to give a critique I agree about the closing verse/chorus, it's not the final guitar and it's not properly placed in the mix yet.@Mosaica .. thanks, is a great singer. @pharmakeus & @artneuro .. Thanks guys |
|
| Seven Deadly Sins by DaveM | 3 months ago |
| @KCsGROOVE .. Re Bass drum I agree, will try some bass to, thanks for the feedback. @RedthruNthru .. Thanks, Hannah does have a lovely voice. @RubyDubidoux .. Thank you for the feedback, as per PM, I think it's the shortness of the song. More thinking required. @artneuro .. my fault (sort of) the page had a problem on it, and stopped playing and downloading etc, so I deleted and reloaded .. cut required, thanks I hadn't spotted that. @James.moore .. Cheers buddy, I'll send a version to you to have a blast with tonight. To those that have stopped to just listen, I thank you, but please feel free to give me feedback. Dave |

| Energy Efficient Man by ClayPotts | 3 months ago |
| Awesome guitar .. I really Love the slide / pedal steel in particular, but the whole song is really fabulous, original, catchy, brilliantly played and a great vocal. The whole song motors along nicely with a natural swing. Dave |
|
| popsicle toes (Michael Franks) by ScottCarmichael | 3 months ago |
| Marvellous .. Some expensive chords in there Cool guitar and piano playing, very original, yet familiar enough to make it an easy listen. Loved it. Dave |
|
| WHO BE THE REEFER MAN? by wal4u | 3 months ago |
| The Landreths ride into town and kick the doors down .... Brilliant on so many levels ... originality, lyrically, vocally and of course Jrs playing. I love it. Dave |
|
| Blue Bayou by pharmakeus | 3 months ago |
| Loving your guitar work on this .. I love the slide playing and volume swells, almost got a pedal steel feel to it. I really enjoyed your version of the song too. | |
| Red Neck Jesus by wal4u | 3 months ago |
| Fabulous song and performance. I love your laid back easy vocal style, you pull it off with consumate ease .. so great to have a new Wal4u song to listen to .. Funkier gets a lot of listens on my ipod. Hope the kayak and river are treating you well. | |
| Make Up My Mind by gsharp | 3 months ago |
| ... Shades of John Mayer, but with abetter vocal than he could muster, could just do with a few tastey Mayer'ish licks from a Strat on there. | |
| Make Up My Mind by gsharp | 3 months ago |
| Ohhh there it is .. the velvet voice I've been missing, so good to hear you singing again Greg. I'm loving the song, understated elegance .. nice transition from verse to chorus and back, really enjoy the build of the instruments and the use of slide work in the background. Perfect percussion and cracking bass. Love it, wish I'd written it. Dave |
|
| The Dugong Hunt [2012] by pharmakeus | 3 months ago |
| I really like this song, it has a haunting feel to me .. the differences in feel between the 2 distinct sections are fabulous. Guitars are great, and some fabulous bass playing, my only gripe is I want this in a really high quality recording, more bass and bigger drums. Really enjoyed it. | |
| Walk Don't Run by artneuro | 3 months ago |
| WIPEOUT !!! Fabulous .. really crisp sounding guitars .. and great to hear the Ricky is officialy in action |
|
| Seven Deadly Sins (Original Demo) by DaveM | 3 months ago |
| @pete .. Thanks man @pharmakeus and @Yankman30 .. Thanks guys, Zep and Whitesnake have always been a big part of my musical heritage, I think it really shines through on this one though. @gsharp .. Greg great to see you come back now and then .. if only you'd leave us some musical scraps to feast upon too |

| Dejah Thoris, The Queen of Mars (Guitar Pop Mix) by artneuro | 4 months ago |
| Just caught this on youtube .. I think this is a great song, possibly one of your best, unusually very "straight" for you Art(musically), no zappa'esq curve balls, though "love is outside sprouting like mushrooms" is far from being a bland pop lyric. It would be interesting (to me at least) to hear this with a bit less lead guitar on it, cause I think it distracts from what I think is a great vocal. | |
| I NEVER MET MY GRANDPA by jibes | 4 months ago |
| Heart felt song .. perfectly delivered. | |
| Seven Deadly Sins (Original Demo) by DaveM | 4 months ago |
| @MartinDunn .. You're right ! ... I've been trying to place that myself, good spot. As I'm playing this with a capo at the 2nd fret I didn't spot it was those chords on the turn around, oh bugger ! Thanks for the comment. Dave | |

| Welcome Back To The Real World by mick66 | 4 months ago |
| Hey Mick ... Nice track. Great guitar work, love the chorus, kind of reminds me of Tom Petty / Pretenders ... Really enjoyed it, welcome back indeed |
|
| Money For Nothing (Dire Straits Cover) by Alien8ed | 4 months ago |
| Fabulous version .... Brilliant back track to sing to, great playing, that must have taken quite some effort, Great job on the vocal, really enjoyed it. Thanks. Dave | |
| New Flags by RubyDubidoux | 4 months ago |
| Very catchy, love the vibe, nice melody on the vocal, love the guitar break ... I'm going to be humming this one later Enjoyed this one. |
|
| Deep In Her Father's Arms by sammydix | 4 months ago |
| Beautiful song. The backing vocals give this a real lift, they're gorgeous. Love the gospel feel .. and the drums coming in towards the end are fabulous. An unpredictable and enjoyable ride, thanks. Dave |
|
| Where Do We Stand by ScottCarmichael | 4 months ago |
| Just so good .. what a solo to finish with. | |
| Seven Deadly Sins (Original Demo) by DaveM | 4 months ago |
| @ShadowofNine .. thanks very much, as a bit of a blues stomper it's probably pretty close to anything from the Zeppelin, Whitesnake, Bad Co back catalogue, though with a touch of country thrown in for good measure. I hope I can find the time to get some more tunes finished off .. lack of time and the lure of my bed keep me away from my studio at the moment |
|
| Seven Deadly Sins (Original Demo) by DaveM | 4 months ago |
| @Baboon .. Thanks, appreciate it, I'm hearing a progression to a rocky ending with huge sounding drums and wailing guitars |
|
| Seven Deadly Sins (Original Demo) by DaveM | 4 months ago |
| @RedthruNthru .. thanks, that's very sweet of you to say so. It's an unusual position to write for someone else, though Hannah's voice is quite similar to mine. Once we have Sunday out of the way I will ask her over to record a vocal and introduce you all to her @JD .. So good to see you're here again too. Once I'd finished it, I was surprised it was only 2m43s long, I considered making it longer, but I felt it was done, nothing much more to say without it being convoluted and a little (more) contrived. The good news is I'm definitely getting back into the music (yah!) Thank you all for stopping by, listening and commenting, VERY much appreciated. Dave |

| UNIVERSAL SONG w Astronomusic & 24 Soloists by SISTERS | 4 months ago |
| Fabulous job .. what a task this must have been to pull it all together. Some great performances in there, but I particularly enjoyed the 1st violin and the classical guitar breaks. Quite hypnotic .. really enjoyed it. Dave | |
| Seven Deadly Sins (Original Demo) by DaveM | 4 months ago |
| @TvRicky .. Thanks for your comments, I was reading the lyrics as I'd only just written them .. could you hear the pages turning ?LOL. | |
| Ruckus by TheTiler | 4 months ago |
| I saw Tommy Emmanuel a few weeks back, some of your playing reminds me of his style, which he based on Chet Atkins. As ever, a great recording and tune with sublime playing .. make sure you don't damage those precious fingers on those sharp tiles ! | |
| Happy New Years Boogie Blues by TheTiler | 4 months ago |
| Top quality picking and song. A real toe tapper, a delightful listen. | |
| FAST JIVE by KCsGROOVE | 4 months ago |
| Cool vibe with that great bass line grooving it's way through the song. You always get a great classic Strat sound going, I love the lift the chorus gives the song. Nice job KC | |
| The Blind King by Neumuzik | 4 months ago |
| Im with KC, there's a good vibe here .. reminds me of a film sound track but I can't place it. The ending sounds like it should be the intro to the next song. | |
| Dirty Valentine by artneuro | 4 months ago |
| I like this .. in your face from the start. Drums and bass drive the song, but the guitar in the verses is inspired. I'm loving the Artneuro take on "pretty girls" .. can't beleive it needed a University Study to unearth that little gem of knowledge though, I think most blokes could have told them that Guitar sounds great ... how's she playing ? |
|
| Seven Deadly Sins (Original Demo) by DaveM | 4 months ago |
| Thank you all very much for your kind comments. @Ignoramus .. Thanks Jay, hope you're still giving the guitars a good workout. @jkane .. John, you're right, too many yeahs ... I quickly recorded and mixed this to give the demo to Hannah (the singer)without really listening .. it's irritating! @Neumuzik .. Thanks nice to see another old icomper still here. KC, Art, Kw8 .. thanks, I appreciate your comments. @Matt Granz .. thanks, Hannah's a great singer though .. I'll get a version recorded and stick it on icomps .. and thanks for the offer, you never know... |

| Sounds like you've moved to live in the Mississippi delta, this is in the true spirit of the blues .. authentic stuff Chris .. I enjoyed this very much. |
|
| St Francis Wood by Matt Granz | 6 months ago |
| Short but sweet .... psychedelic rock vibe with a bit of punk thrown in for good measure. Love the guitar tones, very raw. Superb vocal from Frank. I love it ! |

| Wonderful stuff, great writing and a super vocal. | |
| Are You Asleep? by AlanStarkie | 9 months ago |
Great stuff. Love this one. Vocal deserves to be a bit more prominent with a little less reverb. Really like the guitar sounds you're getting down. |
|
| Believe (demo) by AlanStarkie | 9 months ago |
Another fine song. |
|
| Time Was... by jobu | 9 months ago |
| Agreed ... well worth putting more into it, as a one take demo its better than most polished songs on icomps. I hear this as a Mellencamp song, with a full band. D |

| Willamina by NorthPoint | 10 months ago |
| Sounds like a fine slice of Americana folk rock. I really like it. | |
| THE ROMP by bigdaddycee | 10 months ago |
A fabulous track. Great composititon with some wonderful choices re instrumentation and sounds. I love Dans guitar playing, precise, imaginative and flowing but not a blizzard of notes, a truely great player, very soulful. A great blend of light and dark moments on the track. The only minor point I would make is the snare/rim sounds a little too compressed and flat for the song. Picky I know. |

| You dont play the drums on this ? Thats like Jimmy Page using guitar loops. Slappa da baaaeeeessss ! Are you doing the holding music for the telephones ? |
|
| Three Wives by artneuro | 10 months ago |
| What I found amusing/appalling was that there he was, in Pakistan, under the noses of the security forces, living a quiet comfortable, safe life with 3 of his wives, kids and a stash of porn ... meanwhile the world around him burned .. a fire he started. Thanks Art for asking me to do this, it was a real blast to do. Btw .. Art has converted me into a Cold Chisel fan .. I'm now an honary Bogan, I'm growing a mullet and waiting for delivery of my Swans shirt. Make mine a Toohey's |

| It's Okay It's Peachy by artneuro | 1 year ago |
| This one flys at the chorus, the BV's are excellent, they really lift the song. This really reminds me of The Icicle Works and Teardrop Explodes. Love the guitar break ... great job guys. PS .. Love the art work .. it's peachy, I wonder if she knows anything about the offside rule ? (one for the Brits) |

| Crazy In Love by TheTiler | 1 year ago |
| Great job, super backing vocals, I love the guitar playing on this one. | |
| Don't Stand A Chance by TheTiler | 1 year ago |
A beautiful song. It's the first time I've heard you sing, you have a great voice, just a little stilted in the delivery of some of the lines, and of course the guitar playing is without equal. It has all the feel of an Art Garfunkel song, some harmonies sprinkled in here and there would be the icing on the cake. Love it. Dave |
|
| Free Jazz by artneuro | 1 year ago |
| Meanwhile at a mid afternoon puppet show in Sydney the immortal words could be heard ... "Artneuro on bass .. he wrote this" As a person who doesn't really understand jazz and certainly can't play it .. this sounds like Jazz to me, which is the highest compliment I'm qualified to give I'm impressed with your playing, for me, jazz has always been the music you go on to play when rock and blues becomes just too easy and dull to play. |
|
| Paris, Texas Theme by artneuro | 1 year ago |

| When Heaven Comes Down by Mark_Cheetah | 1 year ago |
| Fabulous .. I was big fan of Dokken back in the day, saw them in support to AC/DC (I think), Goerge Lynch was/is a great player. You've really done this justice, guitars and vocals are excellent. Not easy to get a rock track to sound this good. Kudo to you, great collab. Taking requests ? .. Alone Again ! Dave |
