| Rain On Me by theVirtuals | 1 day ago |
| Wow, what a logistical challenge! Great song and production i am partic liking the bass playing. great groove Apologies if you have already answered this before...but how is it done? do you just send mp3s of your parts to the overall producer (which while quick and easy means you loose some "tweakability" in the production stage). OR Is there a more sophisticated way of transferring members tracks back and forth? thanks Martin |

| Tie Your Mother Down - Queen Cover by jasonbogen | 4 days ago |
| As a Queen fan you always approach covers with trepidation but you do an excellent job on this. You should get in touch with them as their current lead singer is no bette than yourself! Great stuff (very faithful to the original too) |
|
| Nosferatu (Boogey Man Boogey) by Abstractvision | 5 days ago |
| Some amazing sounds a layering of textures going on here I wish i knew how the electronic users on this site generate some of these sounds I like the slight tongue in cheek approach with the traditional "spooky" sounds and lyrics Excellent stuff |
|
| I'm Ready (fats Domino cover) by farfor44 | 5 days ago |
| This is great energetic fun and superbly performed Call mean old rocker too, but i agree with Bob6stringer the guitar sounds very restrained. Get it up there in the mix!! (I guess us guitarists do have a one track mind!) Yeah, its odd but the solo towards the end does sound a bit like a harmonica. Deliberate? really enjoyed |
|
| Everytime I Try to Get Close to You by pharmakeus | 10 days ago |
| Lovely stuff Big reverb drenched blues guitar....my favourite Very understated the way good blues should be with the accompaniment sitting perfectly beneath the lead. Great |
|
| the colour of the sun by birdsonic | 21 days ago |
| Agree with feenix above. Nice minimalist feel to it (although the artist will prob say there are loads of tracks going on !) Like the way the vocal lines overlap Creative drums and percussion here. For me the track is a bit bass shy, but i guess that is the style of music Great tune |
|
| Song Writing For Idiots by calummorris1993 | 21 days ago |
| Great song title (caught my attention anyway!) God sound all round really Constructive criticism - The vocals sounds somewhat buried in the mix and need to be fuller/more prominent. (not necessarily louder, but they sound a little "thin" - compressor or eq tweaks maybe I really like the guitar playing here and the humour in the lyrics Good tune |
|
| Push Your Head Towards The Air (Cover) by David Ross | 1 month ago |
| i really like the acoustic guitar sound you have got here really crisp the strings arriving now sound great too need to revisit my editors albums as do not really recognise this great work |
|
| Cars - Gary Numan Cover Version by GaryHunter | 1 month ago |
| yeah, agree with the above. very true to the original, but has your own touch with the vocals. good work part of me wonders if this would work as a guitar based tune hmmm |
|
| Babe I'm Gonna Leave You (Led Zeppelin cover) by LaFayette | 1 month ago |
| I love the opening section of this with the electric guitars panning around and complementing the the acoustic perfectly. But I agree with Henno, for me the rocky parts need a bit more punch and the drums sound a bit flimsy. Great idea, great song and great interpretation. |
|
| Ovalado by Zippex | 2 months ago |
| Yes, great work, very well performed and recorded Listening for a second time now Martin |
|
| Verona by MattFrance | 3 months ago |
| Straight out of the box i am hearing a great, clean easy voice and some lovely guitar playing. What better subject could there be for music/poetry than the "what could of been" song? Love it Be interested to know how you get that warm soft vocal sound in gb Does your page list equipment? (will look when the song is finished) Hey, for some reason your voice reminds of Marillion and Fish, esp when you sing in the higher register Great song |
|
| (open for collab) Song with no name. by KnqulearShift | 3 months ago |
| Funky Makes me think of a kind of semi spoken vocal like the Fun Lovin Criminals with a killer chorus to boot V nice. |
|
| Your Best Life Now by shwtmrocks | 3 months ago |
| I am liking this a lot 2nd listen now Obvious musical comparison warning...reminds me a lot of Beck Great, unusual sounds and overall package Inspiring to hear that this quality can come from GB Love the slight distotion on the vocals, be interested to know how this was achieved Cheers Martin |
|
| Together by BlendWellMusic | 4 months ago |
| Umbrella la la la Nice groove and piano. They mix really well But the Rhianna reference is just a bit too overpowering for me Lovely musical outro and abrupt ending |
|
| Dear Penis (Rodney Carrington cover) by ecvMatt | 4 months ago |
| Ha ha Excellent Never heard of this before. Made me chuckle I'm sure half of us icompers can empathise with the special relationship we have with our "Old Fella/JohnThomas/MightySword/Weener etc etc Now get back to work! |
|
| Blues Journey by grathy | 4 months ago |
| Like this, very chilled Has a kind of playful feel to it as well with the piano towards the end Perfect for a summer Sunday evening |
|
| Motor Maniac by Henno | 4 months ago |
| Found you in the criminally overlooked category Glad i did Great song Agree with Jdwyer re the volume (it also seems a little "thin" to me but that just might be my cheap headphones (ie not a lot of bottom end) For some reason the overall sound remnds me of early Cult Like the bridge/breakdown before the final verse, builds tension nicely |
|
| Romeo and Juliet by craigcarmean | 4 months ago |
| Hey, this just popped up on the random track area of the home page and i was curious I really like what you have done here. You have taken it far enough away from the original to put your own stamp on it Great vocal performance and no attempts to do over the top twiddly diddly (for want of a better term) on the guitar Bravo |
|
| Sentimental Guitar by Danny2006 | 5 months ago |
| lovely stuff at first i thought it was going to be too country for me but the dual guitar did it for me congratulations M |
|
| Whatcha Say? by RAVENS | 5 months ago |
| My God! Cold showers all around !! sexy, mellow and cool |
|
| Dreams by Dave M | 5 months ago |
| NO NO...DON'T MAKE ME DOUBT GB BY POSTING QUALITY STUFF LIKE THIS FROM LOGIC AS MENTIONED, VOCALS SOUND SUPERB DO YOU USE A CONDENSER MIC? (CONSIDERING MAKING THE UPGRADE....CASH VERSUS QUALITY INCREASE. GREAT SONG AND GUITAR PLAYING ALSO M |
|
| Bite Me by guitar55 | 5 months ago |
| Groovy I really like the crisp drumming, very sharp and trebly with a lovely snare sound. great production and guitar tone also. |
|
| blaati by SyllitBang | 5 months ago |
| Hats off to you for one of the best artist names on icompositions (i hope you say it in an unusually loud and forceful way whenever anyone asks what you are called!!) These are great big dirty sounds and beats, but agree with the others, it feels like an ominous build up that is going to kick off into a big tune, but then doesn't |
|
| Maybe next time(cover) by artvandalay | 5 months ago |
| why is nobody rating this song? every time i edit my favourites i listen again to this great guitar playing and love it bravo |
|
| To Fly Together by MusicLeft | 5 months ago |
| really nice , hard aggressive plucking on the strings beautifully laid back i am currently giving my 10 month old son his bedtime bottle and it seems to be soothing him so thanks for that (the blues education begins early !!) |
|
| Jasmine by RedthruNthru | 6 months ago |
| Liking this The guitar player has got a lovely touch and the female vocals are really solid reminds me of the style of Ritchie Blackmore's latest incarnation (Blackmore's Night) Good stuff |
|
| Madeleine Stowe by BossHook | 6 months ago |
| The business Makes most of us look and sound like floundering children incoherently banging on triangles in our music lessons at primary school ie, i liked it Martin |
|
| Bittersweet Symphony by MartinDunn | 6 months ago |
| Hey, thanks for the comments. MV did all the hard work on on this Just listening to it again this morning and the effect i put on the vocals sounds very artificial so i am going to repost it with that effect removed. please give it a listen again Thanks again |
|
| Gravity by the24factorsofseandonovan | 7 months ago |
| Nice work I love the chiming guitars that runs through this tune Nice vocal work and overall production also Song builds very nicely to a huge sound towards the end Bravo |
|
| My Baby by AndrewRamsey | 7 months ago |
| Did you think that you could hide from us Andrew? who is this Ramsey character? Think it needs some dynamics and to build a little as the song progresses Maybe a beat coming in or some more instrumentation For a first attempt this is pretty good What tempo and chords/key is it? Might be fun to try and add some bits and pieces from this end |
|
| Ordinary Boring Life by Lavalamp | 8 months ago |
| Yeah , really enjoyed Great first effort Sound is really punchy and in your face Reminds me of the student/grungy music i used to listen to all the time in the early 90's (a great time for alternative rock) The instrumentation reminds me off The Cure (again, not a bad thing) Welcome aboard |
|
| Maybe This Will Be The Day by Tedguitar | 8 months ago |
| lovely tune simple, melodic and really well put together only negative from me is my dislike of la la la la la in songs great stuff |
|
| Mystery by craighalkett | 8 months ago |
| Found this in the undiscovered section on the music page I really like the singers natural, easy sounding voice and the guitar sound is nice and crisp and sharp That keyboard/strings sound is a bit dated and grating though (maybe it could come in later or be a bit quieter in the mix) Just my opinion, i hope you take it in the right manner. Always feel the "this is nice" comments are more or less pointless Constructive criticism and all that Wow, it fades out a bit fast |
|
| CubiSpherical by MickD | 8 months ago |
| Agree with the previous comment I love he feel of this. Reminds me of something by Sting There is a excellent overall sound, but the song does not develop enough for me to justify it's length. There is a section about 2/3rds of the way through when the drums drop out and the clarinet? riff continues alone. Personally i would fade out at that point as when the groove comes back in we return to the same pattern Production and execution are superb and i hope you take my comments in the right spirit (I always fond it more useful to get some serious feedback than people saying "that is nice"  Cheers Martin |
|
| The thrill is gone by w1av | 10 months ago |
| Some lovely playing going on here but...does it really work as an instrumental? Not sure Must be some good blues singers who are willing to collaborate Put it out there, you've certainly got a good sound going on (plus the song has lots of gaps for your nice soloing (to fit around the vocals) Good stuff Martin |
|
| Black & White by BlendWellMusic | 10 months ago |
| Nice track. Hypnotic and atmospheric Good beats and sounds in the mix Feels kind of short yet at the same time it also feels that the melody needs to develop and go somewhere musically to turn it into a really great track |
|
| I Got Stung (re-mix 1996) by VinceVance1 | 10 months ago |
| Very pro sounding Catchy and fun Reminded me of a tune from Rocky Horror show Be interested to know how this was recorded as very well done (says "other" at the top) |
|
| American Monsters by MellowSun | 11 months ago |
| Gooch&Co!! I see you are uploading tunes at the same time as me ! Odd I see you are defying convention and have the drums panned hard right Great vocals Joe Must try and get you down to south London someday to sing some tunes with me Catchy tune with a great idea behind the lyrics I am finding that panned snare a bit brittle sounding and prominent and cannot here the kick drum (maybe due to headphone listening) Another great mellowsun tune |
|
| Dreams by rmathusz | 11 months ago |
| Nice tune great repeating piano melody and drums add nice bit of drama, (as do the strings towards the end) Is it me or are there a couple of "off" note son the vocals? (I may be hearing things) I will be sure to check out your other work. Good stuff |
|
| stepside by markitect | 11 months ago |
| Some cool sounds here and a nice groove, but someohow you can tell that it is made from loops which gives it a bit of a sterile feel maybe it needs some real instruments and the sort of slight flaws in playing that come with that to bring some more of a natural feel |
|
| VIVID by normanlevene | 11 months ago |
| My God this is good a little 80s sounding maybe, with that big perfect production and even the Stevie Wonder esque harmonica solo! There is a lot going on here and the mixing is excellent why is this not in this weeks top ten (i've never understood how that thing works anyway) great stuff |
|
| Stars fall (collab) by fromano | 12 months ago |
| My God, I had to scroll down the page for about 10 minutes to be able to leave a comment Fromano, i get the impression that you are one of the world's good guys. You undersell your incredible ability with your comments You have taken this song to a whole new level Pro quality for sure (reminds me of mary Black for some reason) Thanks also for being very positive and sharing your experience with newbies such as myself This must be in the top 5 of songs i have heard on this site...period Cheers Martin |
|
| Yngwie's Pants (original 2004) by xnery | 1 year ago |
| Oh yeah, enjoyed this, but beef up them drums you need that massive 1986 booming drum reverb sound to get hair metal really going |
|
| Yngwie's Pants (original 2004) by xnery | 1 year ago |
| i hope you, like Ymgwie are squeezed into leather trousers at every opportunity ! |
|
| The Serengeti by FrankAxtell | 1 year ago |
| yes, i am gonna be the first to say it "very Satriani esque" sounds a bit like banana mango or whatever that tune was a few years back similar to his "blue dream" era great playing, but maybe lacking a little in melody and direction but as you say it is a jam |
|
| Formula Found by Mooty | 1 year ago |
| you're right it's a little cheesy but my feet are tapping away and i am bouncing my 12 week old son along to the beat...good stuff ! |
|
| Funk da Funk by Sloparts | 1 year ago |
| Seems a littel bit more ambient and laid back than funk Dirty it up with some funky low end |
|
| Shine on you crazy Ibanez by artvandalay | 1 year ago |
| Just to add to the praise above This is blinding I love the fact that although you are following a pretty recognisable backing, you make the playing totally your own rather than copying something note for note. The guitar really sings in your hands sir |
|
| October (U2 Cover) by ckrohm | 1 year ago |
| Great Piano sound Not heard this song for ages. sounds great. good vocals For me the drumsticksare too prominent but hey it's not my song really enjoyed it. |
|
| Long way home by apb | 1 year ago |
| Great fun Seems like there is more to the song though As though it is half finished or something As pinkFreued said it does have that 80s sound going on Drums, sound a little thin/hollow to me although the playing/programming is superb Enjoyed this one Nice to see gb users who love the software and have a sense of humour also |
|
| Porcelain dolls by apb | 1 year ago |
| Yeaah, i like this Got a nice full orchestration and sound Does it need lyrics? (it says unfinished on the info,,,is that what he means? i dunno Sounds pretty good as an instrumental |
|
| Man's Own Steel Sword (MOSS) by ElectricDust | 1 year ago |
| bizarre song title (bst) doesn't sound rough to me. sounds gritty and excellent you ask what could make it better.... some length! thing was over too quick, could be developed as has the basis of a great tune |
|
| Lockdown by MKVX | 1 year ago |
| Although not my usual style of music, i really liked this For my tastes that 4/4 kick drum could do with having a bit more bass umph! as it sounds a little thin You're right the keys do sound a bit repetitive, i was just about to stop it when those Faithless styles big keyboards come in at about the half way stage. They sound superb. the song really picks up then Good stuff |
|
| When the sky sends gifts by MusicLeft | 1 year ago |
| very mellow | |
| Yesterday by shavingronaldscar | 1 year ago |
| Very odd A picture of a blackbird A reference to "yesterday" A tune that bears no resemblance A mis credit giving the most covered song in history to Lennon when it was written by McCartney Odd |
|
| Presence Known by Hyadis | 1 year ago |
| some nice sounds but the production sound really muddy to me and it is hard to distinguish differnt instruments and melodies. the distorted guitar is too loud in the mix outro is pretty cool |
|
| The New Wave by Asgard | 1 year ago |
| saw this track in the undiscovered file as get sick of listening to the same "top ten" al the time previous review is a little harsh but the track does seem like a load of unconnected loops randomly thrown together, but as you say it is your first song. try to have a song first and then add the loops as you need them |
|
| Sorrow by eddyhate | 1 year ago |
| I agree with Eidolonia the distorted guitar is too prominent in the mix. Also it's nice to see some constructive comments rather than the usual"yeah thats good, i like it" which most people on icomp seem to write. I would add that the drums sound a little lightweight and maybe could use some eq and or reverb tweaking (or doubling or additional percusion) to give them a bit more umph! Enjoyed it |
|
| Clown Shoes by SomethingforNothing | 1 year ago |
| Like this, it's quirky Partic like the whispered backing vocal. Sounds a little sinister which is good in a darkly comic tune about clown suicide Good fun stuff Nice change from all the ambient electronica on here tonight |
|
| Guitar Video - Sleepwalk by Zombre | 1 year ago |
| enjoyed it nice crisp, biting tone might sound weird but i was mesmerised by your right hand technique! it barely moves you have really nailed keeping movements to the minimum which all players seem to do great stuff |

|
| Slowly by TessCrazy | 1 year ago |
| Wll, you've got some great commenst here, so i will not repeat them Suffice to say. Nice stuff Simplicity itself with lovely singing |
|
| Open Your Mind by TessCrazy | 1 year ago |
| I like the melody and vocals on this one What happened to the bass and drums? Feels like it could do with some rhythm tracks to drive it along Vocals and backing are great Cheers |
|
| LIGHTS OF THE CITY by jibes | 1 year ago |
| Again, lovely crisp easy sound guess it shows that if you have talent, a good song and a voice you do not need to spend hours overdubbing |
|
| Watching by joolsoakland | 1 year ago |
| you can't beat a good Dm to hit the melancholy nerve, Nice stuff Great sound reminded me of Fish era Marillion for some reason Personally, i would have liked to see it develop into a bigger song with more instruments coming in, but i guess you wanted to keep it mellow. Enjoyed |
|
| I Live by monospark | 1 year ago |
| Really like this (heard it first on icomp radio Not my usual style of music, but has got something about it Takes me back to my night club days, plus its got a bit of an 80s vocal sound (Japan? Depeche Mode? Beloved?) Nice one |
|
| Maybe next time(cover) by artvandalay | 1 year ago |
| This is f ing fantastic So many guitarists (including myself) stick too tightly to tab You absolutely make this your own Straight into the favourites Great stuff |
|
| Look Over [Seles-Ramzar Guitar's riffs] by archie7777 | 1 year ago |
| Wow The amount of cool collaboration going on on this site is phenomenol This track is a "straight to favourites" Bit abrupt on the ending ! I wonder if someone could tell me what the collab process is? Love to get involved |
