Suitably eerie, sombre and contemporary  |
|
| It's all right with me by Mosaica | 6 days ago |
| Thanks everyone, and especially @pharmakeus for repeated visits! It's also nice to read that for some people these old classics are in fact new. I find I'm also learning a lot about music & songs I didn't know about when I discover the cover versions here! | |
| Sunken Eyes by RMulholland | 6 days ago |
| I really like this one, it's melodic and metallic! Lots of interesting sounds, quite industrial too, but it sweeps along nicely. | |
| Why ? by PaulWilkins | 6 days ago |
| How tragic indeed. This is moving and beautiful. | |
| A Touch of Steam by padowan_learner | 6 days ago |
| Well, just love this!! Really "old industrial" and atmospheric. Your theatre troupe are lucky to have you |
|
| Boss Bossa by Xolv | 6 days ago |
| Wonderfully sonorous and relaxed! Cool vibe and lovely instrumentation. | |
| Arcos de la Frontera by KennethLavrsen | 6 days ago |
| I love Spanish music (I used to flamenco dance as a hobby) and Spain! This is gentle but rhythmic with that stateliness that Spanish music can have. | |
| Hallelujah (Cover) by Deebeesea | 6 days ago |
| This is very nice indeed. Delicate, lace-like music, and the vocal skims the notes beautifully and gracefully and has real emotion too. | |
| Time To Come Home by Beatle128 | 6 days ago |
| The sound of the Mersey for sure! A really enjoyable and upbeat listen - authentic vocal and really nice percussion too. | |
| Seeing Is Believing by artneuro | 6 days ago |
| Powerful and intense, we can feel your frustration and anger, yet this is still catchy and melodic. Really like the guitar solo too. | |
| Dance of Insanity by KennethLavrsen | 15 days ago |
| Nice one! Rich, rumbling, Russian-vibe rave!! | |
| The Road Home by pharmakeus | 15 days ago |
| I really like reggae and this is very good - love the sax solo, the xylophone and the 'wah wah' guitar. Plus expressive singing on a meaningful lyric. | |
| tokyo longing by Stockholm | 15 days ago |
| I just had to play this one, as not long back from a visit to Tokyo! Nice eastern inflections in an uptempo and beaty base. | |
| Mi Ritmo Con Jazz by RetroTrend | 15 days ago |
| Oh yeah! This is hot and catchy! | |
| Quintus Elementum (the fifth element) by A1K3M1 | 15 days ago |
| Definitely aetherial! I don't often listen to this sort of genre but this piece, for me, is a very engaging soundscape that completely held my attention from start to finish. A wide spectrum of pitch, rich textures, and with rhythmic changes that pull you up short. | |
| Pretty Polly - from The Beggars Opera by ihussain | 15 days ago |
| Lovely!! |
|
| Let Me Fly by toveco | 15 days ago |
| Congratulations all - a fine & catchy song on a worthy topic. I see it was written in 1989 - has the destruction of the world's forests slowed down?? | |
| Flute Trance by ScottHorwath | 15 days ago |
| Exotic and haunting. Sounds like a lot of work went into this from what you say about the production. | |
| A Moment of Peace by LaFayette | 15 days ago |
 This is smooooth!! Lovely, tuneful & relaxing but with an beaty rhythm that carries you along with it. |
|
| Uptown Underground by madego | 15 days ago |
| Very professional sounding all round. | |
| A Mother's Prayer by Deebeesea | 15 days ago |
| This is very touching, and sounds like it comes from the heart. It must be hard work being a mother, and this is a charming tribute. | |
| Aroró Serembé by dirigent | 26 days ago |
| Warm and comforting, soothing and lilting with its texture of soft percussion and soulful voices. Lovely. | |
| Tu Non Mi Conosci (You Don't Know Me) by carlajpatterson | 29 days ago |
| Such good news!! This is a dramatic piece indeed - I like the lyrics too, and the instrumentation of the music track is lovely. Some nice tone in your vocal notes, and I'm aware that you must still be making progress towards your former voice. If you can "open up" more for, and therefore relax into, the higher notes I'm sure the richness will come through that I hear in the lower register. This is truly a breakthrough for you Carla, I'm delighted to hear this, and yes, our duet now seems within reach! |
|
| My Baby Baby by Beatle128 | 1 month ago |
| Sweet nostalgic sound! Is this an original composition? Fab if so! The girls' voices really blend well - it's collabs like this where it's hard to imagine that they weren't all together in the recording studio! Lovely sax soloing. | |
| I'm Here in Paris by LaFayette | 1 month ago |
| Warm and inviting. Clever use of the pan & echos on the vocals. Lovely piano riffs, cascading drums, and the vibraphone passages. Lovely work you two. | |
| I'M GETTING FUNKY by KCsGROOVE | 1 month ago |
| Cool! Sounds like you had some funky fun coming up with this one! Pure energy and no let-up in that twisting and turning guitar. Love the artwork too |
|
| Tear Your Playhouse Down by RubyDubidoux | 1 month ago |
| I love this song and I love this rendition! Fantastic guitar intro, and crystal clear vocals that turn suitably gutsy in places I thought it was written by Anne Peebles?? @brewchugger - Yes, Paul Young had a hit with his cover version in the 1980's |
|
| Buddha's Approval by RetroTrend | 1 month ago |
| Wow, a real fusion sound of funky jazz and Eastern beats. I am sure the Buddha doth approve! | |
| La Sagrada Familia (cover) by thsantac | 1 month ago |
| I'm afraid I am ignorant of the original, and having visited La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona last November this was a "must hear" for me. I am not disappointed! This sounds like it was quite an undertaking and it's a real quality production - the intensity is really "prog rock". Congratulations all round. | |
| Goodnite by Mosaica | 1 month ago |
| Thanks to all of you for your kind and positive comments I'm going to a Melody Gardot concert in a couple of weeks time and really looking forward to hearing her perform this one live! |
|
| Lay Down Lord (new) by jibes | 1 month ago |
| This is a good 'un! (But I see the original is now deleted so can't compare!) Warm and inspirational - well done both. | |
| Helle by KennethLavrsen | 1 month ago |
| How sad. This is a lovely tribute, it has dignity, expression and tenderness. | |
| Hallelujah - cover by ihussain | 1 month ago |
| An absolute delight! I love the drum beats and chorus towards the end. | |
| Salty Dog Blues by ManfromTexas | 1 month ago |
| This is just too cool!! What a rich texture of sounds and vox here - nostalgic but so bright and cheery! |
|
| For Milt J. by Telemetry | 1 month ago |
| I love the vibraphone. As you say, this is very impressionistic but is kept together by that underpinning brass riff. I'd like to hear a longer resonance at the end though - it kinda gets chopped off! | |
| 10 out of 10 by wayne1voice | 1 month ago |
| Wow - great vox!! Love this, bright & uptempo, and well mixed. | |
| Happy Birthday (Original) Edited by genie1978 | 1 month ago |
| This is really good, really soulful. Clear & edgy vocal with nice harmonies over a soft and flowing piano melody. Lovely!! | |
| The Political Science of Nursery Rhymes by pharmakeus | 1 month ago |
| Surreal! Creative stuff (like the Schrodingers cat and the 'anorexic brat' lines and love the sax solos. |
|
| rrrEgret by Xolv | 1 month ago |
| Happy Happy Happy!! Love the beats in this. | |
| Locomotive Breath by Vixen | 1 month ago |
| Goodness, this is epic! I love Jethro Tull and this was a joy to listen to. Well done all, lots of hard work in here by the sounds of it. | |
| COME TO ME by SISTERS | 1 month ago |
A creative collaboration indeed - the bright edginess of the guitar contrasts with the silkiness of your vocals. Some of the harmonies create tension which reflects the feeling of the lyrics very well. |
|
| It's Gone by RichardJohn | 1 month ago |
| This is really nice - its simplicity has a freshness and intimacy to it that is very attractive & engaging. | |
| Wait For Me (Anahita) by robomusic | 1 month ago |
Is this an original (i.e. iComp) song? It's really good! Excellent vocals too. Thanks for the download |
|
| Don't Look any Further w/Angeebabee by morgan102 | 1 month ago |
| Nice to hear this song again. A luscious rendition, and your 2 voices blend very well indeed. | |
| Fragments by Mike_Lynn | 1 month ago |
Another winner from you Mike, and I love RichardJohn's voice, I think I've heard him on your songs before. |
|

| Oh Honey (The Audreys) by Tony2008 | 1 month ago |
| Wow! Superb guitar and vox - heady stuff! | |
| Dream East by chinesemusic | 1 month ago |
| A crystal clear recording, lovely smooth vocal and charming piano accompaniment. I reckon this will keep growing on me as I listen to it more. Congratulations on a good song. | |
| the cat the rat and Lovell the dog [A-] by woofer3 | 2 months ago |
| Interesting background to this! A lively and engaging piece, bright and clear instrumentation - enjoyed. | |
| MORNING SUNRISE by SISTERS | 2 months ago |
How nice to resurrect an old analogue recording, and one as lush as this. Beautiful lyric and soft engaging lead vocal, with fine-blended harmonies. |
|
| For You by mrsmith | 2 months ago |
| 1980's vibe here. I like the FX on your vocal, and the whole piece develops into a really powerful sound. | |
| When You Look At Me That Way by DiandAl | 2 months ago |
| Sultry, sleezy, smoochy, late night seedy, smokey-bar jazzy blues!! Great!!! | |
| Don't Rain on my Parade by ihussain | 2 months ago |
| Very nice - bright and uplifting, who could rain on this?! Love the variety of sounds and tones in this. | |
| THE MONKEY KING by Lagusaya2 | 2 months ago |
I enjoyed listening to this - I liked the kettle drums early on (a bit reminiscent of "Also sprach Zarathrusta"  and the change of pace and timbre 2/3 way through with the oriental part. Sorry to hear you have been unsuccesful but it's good to at least try. |
|
| I Wouldn't Want To Be Like You (cover) by thsantac | 2 months ago |
| I don't know the original, but I sure like this. What a fabulous instrumental music base, love the guitar solo half way through. The vocal has just the right FX and sits well in the mix. | |
| Quintet (Movement One) by soulima | 2 months ago |
| Bright and cheerful, this bounds along like young lambs or a stream eddying round the stones in its path. | |
| Cruise Control by Dawgs4Kats | 2 months ago |
| Nice beaty rhythm here. I like the horns and the growling guitar - quite a melting pot of sounds. | |
| Occasionally by imadesentana | 2 months ago |
| I don't know the original (but will go off to find it!) but this is a really solid and compelling listen. Strong & powerful vocal, well accompanied by the spare but taut percussion line. | |
| A Love Mission by Darkmuse | 2 months ago |
Hey, great song! Love the rich instrumentation - strings, horns, rhythm etc. Smooth vocal too. |
|
| California Dreamin' [Cover+Sax] by archie7777 | 2 months ago |
| Missed this when it came out. Really nice rendition, especially the guitar pickin'. | |
| Everybody's Talkin' At Me (cover) by TomDevine | 2 months ago |
| Goodness, this version makes it a very different song - great idea, and it has a lovely flow. No indication that it's outside your comfort zone! Well executed. | |
| A Day Like Any Other by RichardJohn | 2 months ago |
| I really like your voice - it's gentle and expressive, and the mix is well-balanced. Really nice bell tones in the instrumentation, and beautifully picked strings. | |
| Oh Sinner Man - vocal version by ihussain | 2 months ago |
| I'm only familiar with the Nina Simone version so this is refreshing - not to say educative - to hear a more authentic version. (I'm also gonna search out the "demented banjo" versions too though!!) | |
| YOU TELL LIES by SISTERS | 2 months ago |
| Warm and inviting tones and harmonies on a bed of cool, spikey & hip sounds. Original. | |
| La vie en rose (Piaf version) by Mosaica | 2 months ago |
| Thank you all for listening in and the positive reception and comments - it is always daunting covering a song by such a great singer and a classic song. @LaFayette - Merci beaucoup for your compliment about my French! @sprkymrt - Edith Piaf did an English version as well, so it might have been that one you heard but Wikipedia shows many people have covered it over the years including Brenda Lee from that era. |
|
| "A Cutie" by abzwork | 2 months ago |
| Very nice - chilled out jazzy with contemporary sounds. | |
| People Get Ready by SweetRosebud | 2 months ago |
| Super job! Expressive and soulful. | |
| Save Me From Mylsef by alessiakaylee | 2 months ago |
Great song! Makes impact in its simplicity, super singing and guitar. |
|
| Retaliation (headphone mix only) by theSonsofBeatrice | 2 months ago |
| Nice! Love that bass line You don't tell us anything about yourself or your playing - is this your own composition? |
|
| Jammin' with Carlos by LaFayette | 2 months ago |
| Just flows along but with a kick. Excellent Santana sound. | |
| Allegretto (for Flute and Two Harps) by soulima | 2 months ago |
| Elegant and charming. A lovely combination of instruments. | |
| What They Tell You by Beatle128 | 2 months ago |
| This indeed has the spirit. I like the buzzy sounds, and really love that intro (sounds a bit like a hurdy gurdy but I'm sure it's not?!) | |
| Give Me Back My Shoes by mikebms | 2 months ago |
| Raw, thrashing and vibrant. Would have liked a suitably-frenzied finish rather than a fade-out - perhaps signifying you'd got the shoes thrown at you from the window! LOL. | |
| Midinettes by Rocambole | 2 months ago |
| Mais oui, tres Francais! A bit of a "Hot Club" vibe too, but modernised with those zylophone/glock run. In fact this is quite a journey with all those different instruments soloing and coming to the fore! Gorgeous piano solo halfway through. | |
| Soft Drink by archjerry | 2 months ago |
| Definitely smooth and juicy! Love the piano rolls and tinkles and those drums... Lush. | |
| Abandoned by ShadowofNine | 2 months ago |
| So you didn't abandon us either?! So glad, this is a lovely composition. What a silky smooth seductive vocal, and a rich melodic instrumental with lots of interest. | |
| Historia de la silla by macoconuts | 2 months ago |
| I like the simple pared-down production on this. Clear and expressive vocal line, nice bright guitar, and an enjoyable listen. | |
| consolation interlude by ScottHorwath | 2 months ago |
| Warm, inviting and very consoling indeed. | |
| Tiptoeing Camels of Arabia by PleiadianAgenda | 2 months ago |
| Exotic, colourful and vibrant, an exciting ride. | |
| Oh, soldier, soldier, won't you marry me? by ihussain | 2 months ago |
| I love how you are resurrecting these classics and breathing new life into them - very nostalgic for me. | |
| Piano Scramble [piano, piano, trombone, tuba, congas] by davidsmith99 | 2 months ago |
An artist only has to mention "congas" and I'm there! This is a great contemporary piece, but the piano also has an old-fashioned sound that I can hear this being accompanying music for a chase in an old silent b&w film - "The Artist" missed out on you!! |
|
| Beam of Light by Balok | 2 months ago |
What a lovely piece. Pretty piano line which adds graceful dynamics to the stately flow of the strings and wind instrument lines. Love that staccato rhythmic section in the first half too. |
|
| Life's Sweet Melody by PaulWilkins | 2 months ago |
| Sweet melody indeed. Full of flowing movement in many layers and lush sounds. | |
| Suddenly It's You by Alien8ed | 2 months ago |
| Pulsating indeed with a 1980's vibe to it. Really like this, well mixed and the artwork is good too. | |
| Grooved Lanes Ahead by brassgospelguy | 2 months ago |
| Vibrant and energetic. Love that brass sound, feels kind of 1960's in feel but then contemporised with the 'clubby' electro-rhythms. Sort of 'electro-swing' genre maybe? Thanks for the dl. | |
| Walk With Me by ihussain | 2 months ago |
Delightful. I love the staccato pulses, and the lovely melody on top. It does feel like it could be a filmscore to a dream sequence, perhaps those bells help give that feeling. It's funny where the muse decides to take you..but..I adore thumping tabla percussion so looking forward to that one when it happens!! |
|
| Millers Blues by bingsolex | 2 months ago |
| Smokin' hot! Vibrant and full of verve - love it! | |
| How to make a song by JCLeonard | 2 months ago |
| Tee hee hee!! I really liked this! Fun |
|
| How Blue Was My Valley by IantoFullpelt | 2 months ago |
Being of Welsh descent, and having read the original book (How Green Was My Valley) I had to come and listen to this! I sympathise with the lyric, and enjoyed the tune and the guitar. You also have a good voice and the whole thing is well mixed (though I think you could have had a longer fade out). Well done. |
|
| Pieces Of My Mind by Mike_Lynn | 2 months ago |
I really like this song, and it's nice to hear another version. A good sound balance between the music and the vox, and I like the tinkling piano that comes through. The lightness of the tune is given an 'edge' by those heavy guitars - works well, and the improvisation from the keyboard at the end is really good. |
|
| Cry me a river by Mosaica | 2 months ago |
| @KennethLavrsen Thank you so much for your comment, and I'm so flattered to hear what your colleague said! Best regards |
|
| Blue Swan by grathy | 3 months ago |
| What a lovely song - congratulations on your composition Mary. Atmospheric in the scat, spoken lyrics and that lush music accompaniment. | |
| Ocean in a duet by JCLeonard | 3 months ago |
| Aha, the duet version! Well, it is such a good song it deserves duets, trios and quartets! | |
| Titan by Mosaica | 3 months ago |
| Thanks for calling in - I appreciate the listens and comments. @AcetyleneJukebox and @Davidlyons8 - thanks for the Massive Attack reference as indeed that band & Portishead were the vibe I was trying to achieve @mikebms - thanks for the reference to The Cowboy Junkies who I've now checked out! |
|
| Ode to Billy Joe by Vixen | 3 months ago |
This is a real high quality cover. Vicki - your voice is just superb on this one, really strong and expressive, reaching those low notes with perfect ease. The instrumentation sounds authentic to the genre and is layered to give depth. Bravo both. |
|
| Spiritual by AcetyleneJukebox | 3 months ago |
| Goodness, this is quite a ride from mellow into contemporary jam, aided by the electro guitar. Some nice twisted cadences and fluid licks in there, and I love the jingly-jangy percussion at the end. | |
| La Marquise (Ballade) by LaFayette | 3 months ago |
| Very nice listen, and I like how it builds into a definite beat. Is this the flower-poisoning story? | |
