| Good Times by fromano | 8 days ago |
| Fulvio- I cannot express enough how great this is! It has some classic Ray Davies style performance in there but with joy and less irony... really a nice thing. I'm with @Dyl and @wal4u - thanks for sharing the love!!! |

| Fanfare For The Common Man by artneuro | 27 days ago |
| I LOVE THIS ART!!!! LOVE IT!!!! Someone's been listening to Yes recently huh? Then energy of Tempus Fugit influence there!  |

| What Went Wrong by Dyl | 1 month ago |
| I think this is awesome. Love it! Reminds me a lot of Mark and David Knopfler to be honest. And that ain't bad! |
|
| Seeing Is Believing by artneuro | 1 month ago |
| I can tell you that I found this really, really entertaining and catchy. Reminds me of Andrian Belew... and I don't really know why. But it does... Excellent mix too. |

| Beauty Like a Bullet (Winter mix) by chuckesleeze | 2 months ago |
| Thoroughly enjoyed! Enjoyed! One little nitpick: Vocals are pretty high in the mix in the end though. Getting some distortion. Minor quibble. |
|
| Champion of the World by RayLaVeau | 2 months ago |
| LOVE IT!!!!!! Excellent work gentlemen! |
|
| Lights of Eternity by Baboon | 2 months ago |
| Wow! Floored! The soaring guitar in the beginning had me hooked from the get go! Wish the vocals were a little more dominant in the mix to add some more depth, but a minor quibble (what can I say, I tend to quibble). Love the harmony vox and I really like Jay's keys in this one too. Often times I think Jay's magic is forgotten because Babs and Matt are so awesome, but I can say that Jay's touch here is the secret ingredient to make a great tune even greater! And the lyrics are incredible also! Love it! |
|
| Sign of Love by Baboon | 2 months ago |
| The Longlines are back with a great tune (as usual). Excellent production on this one. Still would love more snap to the drums (and of course, a little more bass! ) but overall production is great.Babs' vocals really shine on this. You rock Babs! Matt and Jay, as usual you guys totally kick butt! Thanks for a making a hell of a tune!!! |

| Seven Deadly Sins (Original Demo) by DaveM | 4 months ago |
| Very, very nice! I agree with TvRicky on the delivery ad with John on holding back on a few of the yeahs... I can definitely see this going electric, although I'd hate to see that beautifully short and crisp acoustic solo disappear and become something overly long "Free Bird" type... You know, your skills on guitar tend to be overlooked (and you really kill on that thing!) because of your incredible voice, but I love the way they work together on this one a lot. And speaking of said song, this is definitely a classic Southern Rock tune a lá Lynyrd Skynyrd and the ever incredible Allman Brothers Band, but I like how concise you made it. There is something to be said of having a great song clock in at under 4 mins these days! But the best part of all is the fact that it's all you and voice is, as always incredible!!! I want that solo disc man! |

| REQUIEM FOR OTIS by SISTERS | 7 months ago |
| Love it. If there is one crit is that the harmony vocals have a little to much echo on them. You have such a wonderful voice that sometimes an effect can diminish their beauty. But that is purely subjective. |
|
| Ain't No Sunshine (Acoustic Blues Cover) by IbanezDude321 | 11 months ago |

| 21st CENTURY LOVE by SISTERS | 11 months ago |
| I can't add anything more than to say how much I enjoyed this. Mix could add a little bass to it though (my longstanding pet peeve with most mixes...) Bravo! Julian |

| when the mist has rolled away by ScottCarmichael | 1 year ago |
| I know this hymn very well from my church-going days and I echo your sentiments on it. So many hymns are that way. Fortunately, there are artist's like you who can transform the banal into the majestic. |

| Mercy by ScottCarmichael | 1 year ago |
| I keep coming back to this song time and time again. So glad I downloaded this tune. I NEVER tire of this one. Just one of the best songs I've heard in years! And three years after i first commented on it, I'm back to once again tell you just how much I love this song and just how moving it is to me. Thanks Scott. This is one of the best gifts you've ever given us. Besides your awesome talent of course. |
|
| the clap (Steve Howe) by ScottCarmichael | 1 year ago |
| Good to see you back here. Always loved this Steve Howe tune. That entire album is probably their strongest one. You did the tune justice. Only thing missing is the applause at the end. But I can see that would be more like a standing ovation if we were to see you do this live. |

| i don't care by that80sboy | 1 year ago |
| Love it! Just one thing: NEEDS MORE BASS! As always, I can't get enough of your contagious gems! |
|
| Black cat by Tadashi | 1 year ago |
| いつものように、あなたの素晴らしい演奏や汎用性が驚異的です。低音がここで甘いものの一つです。奇数のタイミングで、これらの素晴らしいリズムをプログラムするためにあなたの能力もすごいですね。今すぐギターであなたの演奏は何も崇高な短いです。 がある場合は、この記録については1つの障害はそれに値するように聞こえるようにいっぱいになっていないということです。 脇にいるから、私はこれを愛してる！ 優秀な作品正！ ---- As usual, your amazing playing and versatility is astounding. The bass is one of the sweetest things on here. Your ability to program these amazing rhythms in odd-timing is also incredible. Now your playing on the guitar is nothing short of sublime. If there is one fault about this recording is that it isn't as full sounding as it deserves. aside from that, I am loving this! Excellent work Tadashi! |
|
| Great Escape by MonikaEvans | 1 year ago |
| As always, a great fantastic performance. The piano is lovely, and is truly complementary to your voice. Not sure how much a rap interlude would really work, but I think a great solo in there would be great also. Kudos on a job well done! |
|
| Fifty Dollars by TheTiler | 1 year ago |
| BEAUTIFUL! From the first note to the last. And I love your fine Johnny Cash-like vocal performance! Glad to hear you (as always) and stretching out too. That;s why you're an artist! |
|
| I'm Soft by Matt Granz | 1 year ago |

| Free Jazz by artneuro | 1 year ago |
| Interesting stuff here. I tend to think it's a little on the overkill side with the levels of all the instruments, but I actually love the bass and your guitar work here a lot! Good experiment! |

| Ac 3 Just before the Light by MusicLeft | 1 year ago |
| Lovely Anto! Like Lenny said, some Crosby Still and Nash in there, but I also hearing references to Jimmy Page a la "Stairway to Heaven" in there also. And frankly, it doesn't matter, because your touch is lovely and as usual it is an awesome piece! Bravissimo! |
|
| The Monster Is Behind You by artneuro | 1 year ago |
| Great stuff Art. And I'm not just saying that either! I really mean it. Great stuff. Reminiscent of Bowie's 90s experimental stuff, but with more success! |
|
| Paris, Texas Theme by artneuro | 1 year ago |

|
| 2Funk or Not 2Funk? by artist08 | 1 year ago |
| Tim is getting into the purpley nastiness! Sounds like Camille is in the house! I really like the mix a lot. The clarity is nice. It's actually a lot clearer than a certain short purpled one's unreleased then officially released album that you and I know too well. The funky rhythm guitar sounds just like Controversy-era rhythm guitar. That tele must be channelling Him today. If you think you funky, lemme see you dance! |
|
| Iconoclast by LaFayette | 1 year ago |
| Been a while since I've been on just to listen to music. Whenever I come back to your music, it always feels like I'm back home. I really love the song structure with this one. Love playing I always love! Merci! |
|
| Mother and Child demo by schubertiad | 1 year ago |
| This is lovely. It has a similar feel to Tears for Fears' "I Believe" the way the vocals are done during the verses. Your vocals are as always wonderful, as is your music. You say it's a demo, but I think it's done. The sparse arrangement is perfect. I can't see any more instruments being in this one and still keeping the intimacy in tact. |
|
| Ramayana-16: Vibhishana's Choice by DavidBowles | 1 year ago |
| Bravo David! Love the ways you used those midi-loops with the Asian instrumentation. I used some of these loops myself and I love them-- but I much prefer yours! |

| Happy despite it all by Ignoramus | 1 year ago |
| WOW! Glad to be hearing some new work from you. This is very good. I especially love the clarity of this! The mix in this also very very good- and that subtle bass is SWEET! Love the way you made those drum loops sound totally fresh by the way! Great job and great to hear from you friend! |

| Strychnine_Re-Mastered by RayLaVeau | 1 year ago |
| You know my tastes.. I think the lead is a little low, but since this is a groove song it doesn't bother me one iota. The bass on this is superb! The drums are a little muffled compared to the clarity of everything else, but it isn't too distracting as to detract from the rest of the excellent mix. Kudos to you sir! |

|
| State of War by Sabine | 1 year ago |
| Geechi turned me on to you. This is REALLY impressive. I need to hear more! Reminiscent of a cross between Dido and at some points, Portishead-- but still very very unique. Love it. |
|
| Never Let You Down by jkane | 1 year ago |
| Splendid! Great great great tune John! I wish the drums were a little crisper in the mix, but I am really impressed with this one. Love the guitar in the right channel complimenting the sublime piano. But what I really love is John's performance. Love this tender performance! Is that a photo of you,sir? |

| Aww yeahhhh! This is da shiznit!!! Straight out of MPLS circa Controversy and 1999. Great GREAT vocals and arrangements. That bass is outstanding. That subtle and not overwhelming funky rhythm guitar with the wah wah pedal is a nice touch. Missed ya bro! Glad to hear you again! |

|
| Medieval fantasy by MusicLeft | 2 years ago |
| So when is the album coming out? Serious. You have dropped three amazing tracks recently. Your skills are just amazing and they keep on getting better! Bravo! |
|
| Circumspection by MusicLeft | 2 years ago |
| Di nuovo, alcuni tagli vero sbalorditivi qui. L'unica cosa sorprendente è che il vostro valore come bassista wasn' t visualizzata più prominente nella miscela. Lo penso, come Bass2X sono bassisti impressionanti ed ho una tal abilità per stabilire una scanalatura venduta che potete prendergli per assegnato. Fortunatamente per quelli di noi con molto talento, amiamo ed apprezziamo che cosa fate. Ora sopra alla vostra chitarra favolosa… una parola: favoloso! Siete padrone del raffinato e non lo eccedete mai. S plendido! _______________________________________ Again, some truly mind boggling chops here. The only surprising thing is that your prowess as a bassist wasn't more prominently displayed in the mix. I think you, like Bass2X are awesome bassists and have such a knack for laying down such a sold groove that you may take it for granted. Fortunately for those of us with far less talent, we love and appreciate what you do. Now on to your fabulous guitar... one word: fabulous! You are master of the tasteful and you never overdo it. Splendid! |

| Quando vado via by MusicLeft | 2 years ago |
| Anto, voi e il jacoust hanno colpito l'oro! Ciò è molto rievocativa (in un buon senso anche!) della musica brillante di Astor Piazzola che Al DiMeola ha fatto con il mondo Sinfonia II. E l'album che anche brillante e sottovalutato ha fatto con Leonid Acoutin. _______________________________________ Anto, you and jacoust have struck gold! This is very reminiscent (in a good way too!) of the brilliant music of Astor Piazzola that Al DiMeola did with World Sinfonia II. And also the brilliant and underrated album he did with Leonid Acoutin. |

| The Neglected Factor by 8MonthMalfunction | 2 years ago |
| Good track! Definitely reminds me of Alice in Chains. Great arrangements and the mix is excellent! |
|
| The Benefit Riddle (Something Missing) by 8MonthMalfunction | 2 years ago |
| Very impressive tune. All artists did a great job here. Great lyrics! Bass2x's trumpet is awesome-- but then again, it tends to always be-- I tend to actually prefer his trumpet, although I do admire his talents on bass almost the same. Good guitar solo. Not overtone. Tasteful. And the bass level is good too! Thoroughly enjoyed. |
