 Love the atmosphere on this one, but it seems a little glitchy in places, perhaps due to upload errors? Over all, very good! =M= |

No words...One million stars to Ziti! |

I love this! Great job! |

| From the Ashes -02- From The Ashes by Surak | 8 months ago |
Incredible tone! I really dig this one. |

| Good God by RBFmedia | 8 months ago |
 Not sure why this is in the Gospel/Religious category, but you get 4 stars for creativity. |

| Project XYZ Version 1.0 by RBFmedia | 8 months ago |
| Since this is what I presume to be a demo, I'll reserve final judgment for the final product, but my criticisms for this is that it seems rather disconnected and aimless. You've got basically a couple of different heavily distorted guitars, playing what seems like unrelated riffs, with no identifiable tempo and no payoff. Maybe with vocals, bass and drums, it will be a winner. |

| Accretion by Shred | 1 year ago |
Another amazing production, Shred! My only criticism would be that the bass and drums need to be brought up more--they seem too much into the background. Otherwise, top notch! =M= |
|
| Suspiria by Shred | 1 year ago |
Best production work yet, Shred! I think the dramatic suits you. =M= |

| Closing Doors by DaneLetourneau | 1 year ago |
Well, I think it's your tightest performance for sure, but I don't want to knock your other work, which is fantastic. Definitely a talent that I've overlooked here on iComp. I love the arangements--the light-but-effective approach shows how much I tend to over-think my own compositions. Are you playing all intstruments? =M= |

| Rectum Infection by AspersionDetergent | 1 year ago |
Seriously...I can't stop laughing at this....!!!!!! This is the greatest thing I've heard in a very long time. |

| From the Archive #1 by guitarlesson | 1 year ago |
Cool! Very King's X-y--could have sworn that was Ty Tabor playing! =M= |

| Star Trek Original Theme by commandz | 2 years ago |
Dang it! I was going to do something with the Star Trek theme, and you beat me to it! Ah well. Good Job! |
|
| Warbird by RayLaVeau | 2 years ago |
That...was...AWESOME! =M= |

| Mars Attack! by Macgawd by Macgawd | 2 years ago |
| Jobu, Thanks for the kind words. I had a lot of fun writing this for the contest, and that's reward enough for me. As for the instruments, yes--I play all instruments except for the drums, which are provided by Beta Monkey Music. =M= |

| Mars Attacks! Contest by DigiPal by DigiPal | 2 years ago |
Cool! Love the 'Ack Ack' of the Martians from "Mars Attacks" at the end! Two thumbs up! Michael |
|
| Here Comes the Sand Part 1 by BrodyliciousLaboratories | 2 years ago |
 Is this recorded on a Casio keyboard? Sounds like something I heard on a Nintendo video game back in '88. |
|
| Edge of Reason by ziti | 2 years ago |
Absolutely, spectacularly awesome. You make me want to sell my guitar. Seriously. Michael |
|
| Killing Time (final) by ciheins | 2 years ago |
Excellent use of loops! Very emotional, but I am a bit distracted by the beat--might sound better without, or with something less distracting--a shaker, perhaps? Dunno, but I love it! Michael |
|
| Rubina by bm1275 | 2 years ago |
A very good cover of what is perhaps one of my favorite Satriani songs. I especially like your tone--pretty much dead on. Excellent work! Michael |
|
| EINARUS's Rampancy by ziti | 2 years ago |
Just...Awesome. I can only dream that my songs had this kind of aural clarity and spaciousness--what's your secret? Michael |
|
| Message In Blood by RichieEastside | 2 years ago |
Well, I'm not much of a fan of electronica, but this is an excellent offering--good as anything I've heard from the genre. Good work!Michael |
|
| Bry dig inte! by spett | 2 years ago |
That scared the sh*t out of me! I though Satan was standing behind me whispering sweet nothings into my ears....good job! Michael |
|
| KILL MY T.V. by Jericho7 | 2 years ago |
| While I definitely like the song, I hesitate to give a rating, because it was recorded in a professional studio. I thought that iComp was dedicated to people who record at home using Apple's GarageBand or similar programs, not to professionally recorded, mixed and mastered music. Still, the song is great! Michael |
|
| My Disease by Jericho7 | 2 years ago |
Awesome! Could be a little bit clearer, but over all, a great drivin' rock song. Keep em' coming. Michael |
|
| Friday Night by smurf | 2 years ago |
Great song--good guitar work. Also like the vocals, but they need to be a little more out front--they sound a little "muddy" to me. Otherwise, great composition! Michael |
|
| Dark Place by dvergar | 2 years ago |
As good, or better than anything I've heard on the radio these days, for certain. You've got a great voice, and your production is top notch, though I like my songs a bit more rockin'! You're definitely going on my favorites, though. Great work! Michael |

| Little Bean by Macgawd | 2 years ago |
| Thanks for the comments, Bob6s! I had been tinkering with the chord progression for some time, but when I saw the ultrasounds of my unborn child for the first time, the melody came to me as I saw him "swimming" around, and I tried to capture that feeling--not sure if I was successful. Believe it or not, the bassline was done using an acoustic guitar! I had no bass at the time, and I didn't like the results of plinking out a MIDI bass, or of using GB to tune down a standard guitar 2 octaves ( I did that on my rendition of "Apache!", and it sounds like crap). I plugged in my acoustic, boosted the bass, and plucked it as hard as I could without breaking the strings. I was pleasantly surprised at the good results. I plan on purchasing an inexpensive preamp for recording my acoustic in the future--thanks for everyone who gave comments/advice! Macgawd |

| TORTURE by cyberian | 2 years ago |
| I was going to list cyberian as a favorite--until I heard this. Not because I voted for Bush (twice), and not because you don't like Bush. It's because of the attitude that anyone who DOES likes W is an ignorant fascist. I guess the only good president is one who does absolutely nothing for 8 years, like Clinton. Macgawd |

| Papa Dont Preach by PeteFalck | 2 years ago |
....Why?  Seriously--you should have sung the lyrics, too! |
|
| The Girl From My Head by Diavoletto | 2 years ago |
Good concept, great rock n roll song! |
|
| Somewhere East by guitarlesson | 2 years ago |
Yanni!? I don't think so. If I had to guess an influence, it would definitely be Satriani. In that regard, this song is excellent--definitely going to go in my favorites pile! Great job! |
|
| Apache! by Macgawd | 2 years ago |
| Matt, Man, I wish I had a big Marshall stack! Actually, it's played through a little 30w Legend tube amp, with an old Zoom 9002 multi-effects processor. Michael |
|
| Apache! by Macgawd | 2 years ago |
| Yeah, the original was instrumental as well. I was inspired to cover this after seeing a cheesy video from the 80's by a Norwegian band called the Seebach Band--they did a 20-minute synth-filled rendition, and the video just makes you go wtf! Michael |
|
| Kooped by j0sh27 | 2 years ago |
I'm not worthy!!!! Seriously, this is excellent. Has a very Satriani-Eric Johnsonesque feel. You amaze me. My stuff sucks in comparison. |
|
| The Grass And The Well by Diavoletto | 2 years ago |
Man...I feel like such a hack after listening to such a great guitar song... Excellent work, my friend! |
|
| SUMMER FUNK! by doddster73 | 2 years ago |
Awesome! I can really hear this as a soundtrack for a movie or something. Excellent concept--I was groovin' the whole time! |
