| LOVE HURTS (cover) by SISTERS | 9 months ago |
| This is one of my all-time favourite songs, and this version is terrific. I'd probably have preferred the overly loud strings to disappear (they just broke the mood for me), but otherwise a top rendition. Nice one Bob and Big Sis! Cheers from Oz, Neil |

| [quote="pharmakeus"]Super boogie. Sly and a bit funky Excellent ensemble sound! I like it!!!!  ------------------------ Concentrate on tightening up the band, imho, esp. the bass and guitar riffing. Also the lyrics have nothing surprising or sexy in them? ----------------------- I only take the silly risk of offering this advice because I like the sound and imagine from your blurb that you are looking for a record contract and want to be famous. Thanks for having a listen and leaving a comment - I do appreciate constructive crits. I'm not sure you read my blurb too well though - "sexy" "looking for a record contract and want to be famous" are pretty unlikely. Like you, I had a serious musical time in Sydney - more like the first part of the 70s - so you can gather I'm no spring chicken At this stage of my life, this is all about having fun and learning new skills (like singing and playing guitar) rather than anything else.I don't post much here at iComp, but I'll try to be sure I post our band version when it happens. Cheers from the Far South Coast! Neil |

| Thanks Cees!! Good to see a familiar face over here Neil |

| Decade's End by jkane | 1 year ago |
| Love the richness of the synths, and like the way you think melodically. Cool post John. Neil |

| Premier Cygne by toveco | 1 year ago |
| I watched an early release version of the new US film "Black Swan" last night - about a production of Swan Lake - and this immediately brought me back to the music in the movie. The movie was quite scary (I can't recommend it) but your music here is beautiful. You use the instruments very well to produce a wonderful listening experience. Cheers from Australia, Neil |

| I Love Reality TV by Curran_P | 1 year ago |
I haven't heard your stuff before - this sounds great! A touch of the 80s - yes, The Buggles - with a great vocal and very sad subject matter  Cool post! Neil |
|
| MEN IN SUITS by KCsGROOVE | 1 year ago |
| Sounding very good Cees. So iComp is where you hang out then I've been AWOL from iComp for nearly a year, but came back on receiving your comment on Amsterdam.The horns stand out for me on this (what are you using Andy?), but all the tracks sound fantastic - classy recording too. Cheers from Oz, Neil |

| Constellation of the winter by Tadashi | 1 year ago |
| Beautiful post Tadashi-san! Happy New Year from Australia! Neil |
|
| CRYING RAIN by Lagusaya2 | 1 year ago |
| Stan, thanks for visiting my new song - I've been away from iComp for quite a while. I like your voice a lot, and the acoustic instruments too. Harmonies (and indeed the song itself) are terrific. Not sure about the heavy electrics, but that's just me. I have a grand-daughter, Aja, around Arwen's age - aren't grand-kids such a joy! Cheers from Australia. Neil |

| She Loves You (Beatle Cover) by Lavalamp | 2 years ago |
| Never been one of my fav Beatle tunes Dave - maybe if they'd done it at this speed I might have warmed to it. Cool rendition. Sorry I've missed a lot of your stuff lately - I just ran out of listening puff I'm afraid. Neil |
|
| Can't Buy Me Love by dirigent | 2 years ago |
| Nicht schlecht Herr Specht! Love it Andreas! Alles gute, Neil |
|
| Terra Sine Aqua by dirigent | 2 years ago |
| Beautiful, amazing, wonderful music Andreas. The production is stellar! There's a good chance I'll be passing through München in July/August - I'll keep an eye out for you im Marienplatz Herzliche Grüsse aus Australien! Neil |
|
| **** CANCER by Trilobite2 | 3 years ago |
| Wonderful tune/lyrics/performance. I think we can all relate to the subject matter in one way or another. I'd love to hear it with better production though - sounds like its been recorded way too loud, to the point where it just all melts together. Maybe that was your plan? Just my observation. A really good song regardless. Neil |
|
| BLUTO & OLIVE OYL by SISTERS | 3 years ago |
| Soooooooo Zappa! Just keep taking the tablets. Neil |
|
| Freezer Brain by TEXASFEEL | 4 years ago |
 Nice bass John, you should break it out more often. Love the fx on the vocals too. I've got to get over here to iComp more often. Thanks for the headsup. Neil |
|
| Waves by particledots | 5 years ago |
| Very beautiful Bryn, Sarah and Mysti. "Initial Ione vocals recorded acapella over Skype" - um, amazing! This just has such a fine groove, and the production is as good as it gets. Love the bass. Peace, Neil |
|
| LOUISE & THE LOTTERY by SISTERS | 5 years ago |
A little MJ support for you here at iComp ladies. Another excellent track - Wal, if these were loops then I'd definitely want some. SISTERS are out to conquer the world - boy, is this place in for some treats! Neil |
|
| Cowboy waltz by Tadashi | 5 years ago |
Tadashi, I hadn't heard this before, but saw it on the "Random Songs" list on the Music page. An excellent keyboard piece - there is so much joy in your rhythms. Love the way you do drums my friend. Neil |
|
| Nashville Nights by Jiguma | 5 years ago |
| Thanks for the comment Dylan - appreciate your visits! Hasn't everyone? Neil |
|
| requiem of sorrow by nemo66 | 5 years ago |
Nice panning and well put together Nemo - wirklich gut glaube ich! You could have definitely taken this further with drums, but I kind of like it as it is - very creative use of loops - you seem to have excellent control of them. Neil |
|
| Coastal Daze by Jiguma | 5 years ago |
| Dylan, she had the baby (Aja) 6 weeks ago - it only gets better Neil |
|
| My Baby Just Cares For Me by Dyl | 5 years ago |
Great vocal on this. Instruments well played and recorded (and sound good) - probably like more bass, but life is not perfect : ) Neil |
|
| Who Are We by Baboon | 5 years ago |
John Lennon meets Genesis? Nice song guys - really enjoyed the vox style/s, and the solo ripped. Thanks for posting this, Neil |
|
| Different Finger (Costello cover) by Dyl | 5 years ago |
Dylan, listening on laptop speakers and it still sounds good! Will listen more seriously later. Nice recording and excellent sounds on your instruments. Thanks, Neil |
|
| Northern Road by Jiguma | 5 years ago |
| Thanks for stopping by for a listen guys. This one will be due for some tweaking shortly, so will take your comments into account. Cheers, Neil |

| Doing The Eggshell Walk by Jiguma | 5 years ago |
| ddball - greetings from Pambula Beach! Good to see a Sydneysider here. Thanks for the listen and comment. Neil |
|
| Doing The Eggshell Walk by Jiguma | 5 years ago |
| jdwyer05 - couldn't agree more with your comment re colabs. I've done maybe 10 in the past 12 months, and every time something new happens that makes it worth while. One thing I really miss about working on my own is the way band members (for better or worse) bounce off each other at rehearsals, recording and gigs in real life. Colabs are certainly a way of getting closer to that, but it's not the same as being in the same room. Neil (I must look up ecnicholsIC) |
|
| Doing The Eggshell Walk by Jiguma | 5 years ago |
| TeddyC - Thanks! Although this was written last year, I am really disappointed that the lyrics are just as appropriate now as they were then (except the numbers are higher!). The balance between vox and guitars is a battle I continue to wage - my latest recordings have had the vox far too high, and maybe I overcompensated on this remix. Cheers, Neil |
|
| Doing The Eggshell Walk by Jiguma | 5 years ago |
| Ignoramus - thanks for the heads up on the rating game here at iComp. Always a little difficult when you get active on a new site to learn the rules and methods used to get exposure. Thanks also for your positive comments on Eggshell. Neil |
|
| Doing The Eggshell Walk by Jiguma | 5 years ago |
| 4arms and jkane - thanks for your comments and the repost of your comments. Fran has been one of my guitar heroes for some time, so I was thrilled that he could play on this. The original sounded good to my ears, but I really wasn't prepared for where Fran would take this. Cheers, Neil |

| The Delight Song of Tsoai-Talee (take two) by Didier | 5 years ago |
| Didier - this is a nice JL tribute. You do it very well! I must listen to some of your other songs. Merci Didier! Neil |
|
| Schweigen des Himmels by Didier | 5 years ago |
Echt gut Didier! I was given your name as someone worth listening to by 4arms, and I am not disappointed here. Ich spreche nur ein bischel deutsch aber ich verstehe viel. The words are well chosen, the production ganz cool. Danke sehr! Merci beaucoups! Thanks! Neil |
|
| Everything U Want by ryo | 5 years ago |
| Nice work ryo - you do the Beatles well. Seems like you must ahve done some pretty serious study of their sound. Neil |
|
| Something About the Way by 4arms | 5 years ago |
| Brent - no problems from this end with your voice - sounds good to me. You have a nice way with a lyric and the change of time is a neat trick. One thing I've discovered since I started writing, recording and singing just over a year ago is that there are all sorts of voices out there doing all sorts of interesting things. I'd love to sound like Jack Bruce, but it's unlikely to happen, so I just keep sounding like me. I see no problems with you sounding like you. I'm off to listen to more of your stuff. Neil |
|
| La-di-dah (remix) by stevel | 5 years ago |
| Thanks for the kind words Steve - I'm always happy to add bass whenever you want it. This is one of my favourites of yours - love the Kinks sound. Neil |
|
| The tSUNAMIS-Ghost Riders by PiranhaLake | 5 years ago |
| Always loved Ghostriders! Great sound you get on this - not only the guitar, but the strings/choir/synth as well. Neil |
|
| Up The Down Bound Escalator by iG-STUDiO | 5 years ago |
Pretty hard to go wrong when you team up with Tadashi! However it's clear that this is more than Tadshi's great guitars. This is very cool and very likeable - excellent post!! Neil |
|
| Careful Of The Undertow by Jiguma | 5 years ago |
| What a nice welcome at iComp! Thanks for the comments and interest everyone - I'll get to some of your music as time permits! Neil |
|
| The Reason We Are Here by renecalvoband | 5 years ago |
Rene, this sounds very cool here also! Neil |
|
| Bleed (cover) by ledebutant | 5 years ago |
Now that's some seriously good guitar work and some perfect vocalising Lisa. You sure know how to pick 'em! This is one seriously pro piece of work - congratulations! Neil |
