| Locomotive Breath by Vixen | 1 month ago |
 This is one of those songs that was done so perfectly the first time it was recorded (which is ironic because Ian Anderson just glued it together overnight in the studio thinking it would just be a guitar-rock filler single, until he heard the piano intro...). It's really hard to make a good cover, almost everybody who has tried has failed, but you have succeeded. I love your voice as well, it's got this really versatile post-punk/early goth twinge to it that could be very profitable in today's market if you tweak it right. |

| Nice. I'm glad to hear you're back on the dance wagon, and even gladder (lol) to hear it done so well. Rare feat around here. | |

| This has some serious class. Nice work...just too bad I don't have any barbiturates on hand to fully appreciate the video part. | |

| glory by Lapskin | 2 years ago |
haha a productive day, meaning one in which you write 10 songs instead of only 4?  Nice work as usual...congratulations on finding a use for a whistle, that's very original. |

| Drown, Damn You (Bubbles mix) (error) by Sydiot | 2 years ago |
If you play this loud enough you can awaken the ghosts of KMFDM. Love the title by the way, it's quite funny  Good work! |
|
| Bleak- by BlingBeatz | 2 years ago |
| Put some effects on those instruments and this would be a pretty tight track. It sounds kind of lifeless and flat at the moment, play with some phasers, delays and eq's to get the most out of your instruments. | |
| Shine a Light by SteveScott | 2 years ago |
| Nice one! Has a really cool 70's vibe. The lyrics match the music, which is the mark of a really good songwriter. This track is about a distortion pedal and a soulful scream away from being a huge hit for a band like Collective Soul or Altar Bridge. | |
| Anti-Gravity by zachb | 2 years ago |
| Fun I can def relate to fear of flying, it's something that's been a problem for me my entire life. |
|
| Prone To Disaster by RichardClairemont | 2 years ago |
| ^^^ Well Sisters, it's really a matter of EQ...a female vocal will occupy the mid-high range of a track (as will most male vocals come to think of it) so it's better to just produce around that mark and let the voice (whenever it comes lol) fill the space. If you listen to just about anything that's on the radio right now as an instrumental track, you'll notice that the space in the mix where the vocal frequency would be is generally left vacant, that way it doesn't sound like an instrumental with a vocal thrown on top of it, but it's more of a cohesive and full package, it sounds like all of the parts of the track are happening at the same time. | |
| turn it off by chaggy | 2 years ago |
| Great voice. You remind me of the singer from Live with a splash of pop RNB influence. Nice one all around. | |
| HOW WOULD I KNOW by SISTERS | 2 years ago |
| This is one of the very few tracks on here that use acoustic instruments and vocals and has a decent production quality. Even without that though, this would still be a stellar piece of music. Brilliant work! | |
| welcome to the church organ by Lapskin | 2 years ago |
| Nice one, but some EQ or compression on those high notes might help kill some of the modulation...Anyway, excellent feeling with this, I've always loved the sound of the church organ and you've used it very well and effectively. | |
| Dualling by VampireCowboy | 2 years ago |
| Lol cute! | |
| [Nightmare] 10 Remembrance by darkhatred | 2 years ago |
| Effective...there's definitely no way anybody could miss the grief in this one. | |
| Keep the wheels on turning by MacMaxDJ | 2 years ago |
| Sounds very stock...as if it's almost like a template, "Trance Song #1"...The vocals don't match the track in the least bit...not sure if it's something you sang yourself or if it's a vocal loop or whatever, but something a bit more breathy and less "soul sister"ish would be an improvement. Throw some more personal touches on it and you'll probably surprise yourself with how much better the end product can be. Seems like you've got a knack for the genre, so don't be afraid to experiment and improve! | |

|
| Obama Kind of Love by tinaeclark | 2 years ago |
| Nice work. Next week it will be required curriculum in pre-school music classes lol Aside from the incredibly cheesey factor, it is an excellent production, for that I give you much respect! | |
| Dull reality by KitRumble | 2 years ago |
| Has a cool 80's vibe to it...production quality is pretty low though, try some high-mid EQ or stick an exciter on it to give it some more life. Intersting lyrics too by the way. | |
| love's by djericdesign | 2 years ago |
| Nice work! Could use a little low-mid enhancement though. Very very catchy. Throw in a nice punchy kick drum and a sidechained bassline and this could really work on the dancefloor. | |
| Love As Good As THIS by Naaji | 2 years ago |
| Nice. Vocals have a vintage vinyl quality to them that really works well. Your singing style here pretty much hits the nail on the head...loungey, breathy, and precise. Well done. | |
| It's Raining Now by telo12 | 2 years ago |
| Super wena la pista poh, bien profunda y sentimental...muy buena cancion para pararte un momento y pensar tranquilo. Gracias por subir! | |
| feel the water by calebrity | 2 years ago |
| Nice. Vocals are bit pitchy in places though and they don't really sound like they belong the track...it's like the track is in one zone and the vocals are in another...Maybe some compression will help paste them down a bit better. I really get the water idea though, it comes through very nicely in the music. Well done. | |
| ElectroniKa (Revised) by damris | 2 years ago |
| Hey now this is more like it! The pads and synths provide some good atmosphere and the drums drive it along, giving some action to your picture. Try monkeying around with some effects and stuff on the drums too if you really want to have some fun Nice nice nice |

| Lamentablamente hay muchos Chilenos que tienen que vivir asi, pero no se nota la tristeza en las caras en parque ohiggins en fiestas patrias jajaja Los Chilenos tienen una gran voluntad que les ha sostenido por mucho y k les llevara a un futuro mejor en donde esta cancion no se cantaria en ningun lado del pais. | |

| Promise Me (Open Collab) by IcePack | 2 years ago |
| Nice beat! | |
| Pea Tea by Iconoclast | 2 years ago |
| Very nice. The octavia you used in the middle for the melody has a great sound. That's a difficult instrument to use correctly but you've pulled it off. Good work!! The only criticism I would offer is a little high end EQ on the octavia and some EQ/effects on the drumloop at the end. Also, try to use an electronic drum kit, the studio sound of the drums kind of clashes with the electronic feel of the song. |
|
| ElectroniKa by damris | 2 years ago |
| Apparently I'm going to have to "feel the beat" here because the track doesn't have one, which is a shame because some rhythm would really make this track sparkle! | |
| OLD Fashion Strings by telo12 | 2 years ago |
| Nice work!! A couple of little notes though: Try bringing up the attack on the staccato notes, it will give them more punch. Also, the strings sound a bit flat, use some EQ to give them some personality. An excellent composition!! | |
| Sajana by imadesentana | 2 years ago |
| Unique sound but it's a bit out of tune don't you think, especially the bells at the end. Maybe it's the panning...good playing though, very creative. | |
| Smooth El Ectro by Bapta | 2 years ago |
| Not a bad idea, but try putting some effects and stuff on it. The track has a nice melody but it's really flat. Give it some texture and bring it to life. | |
| Leather (Tori Amos cover) by Geechi3 | 2 years ago |
| Always been a fan of this track and almost all of the cover versions of I've heard of it go way overboard with its implied sexuality, but you kept the track simple and avoided the temptation to turn it into a softcore moan fest and it sounds great. Glad to see you're still in the game! | |
| One breath by hugenot | 2 years ago |
| Your playing is pretty good but I would recommend some voice lessons or something because your singing isn't exactly on key. There's an effect you can use for vocals in Logic that will kind of pitch it around to where it sounds better. Also the vocals sound a bit sloppily produced and don't really sound like they're part of the song...it sounds like you recorded the music then recorded the voice over it which is probably how you did it but it makes the production sound low quality. I'd recommend you play with some compression and try to make it sound more like one piece instead of the vocal track sore thumbing out loud over everything else. | |
| Distance by judugrovee | 3 years ago |
| Nice work! I can hear alot of good production in the drum patterns you selected and everything mixes down nicely. A big danger you've avoided is the temptation to work around a specific idea to the point that it's almost offensive to the listener because it removes the ability to make the song personally relevant. You've produced a very thoughtful and complete production that leaves many paths for exploration open to the listener. My only criticism would be to sidechain the pads and re-eq the leads, some of them are too loud and it makes the production really muddy. The drums kind of disappear underneath it all for a while. From a creative perspective though, this is a work of genius! Work out some of the technical bugs and it'll be amazing. | |
| White Flag (cover) by Geechi3 | 3 years ago |
| So this is what you've been up to huh? Nice. You really brought out the lyrics without over-doing it, which is the curse of 99% of all cover songs. Brilliant. | |

| To Seduce by Naaji | 3 years ago |

|
| Crash by Lapskin | 3 years ago |
| This gets a nice big loud Ric Flair style WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Vintage stuff and hot!!!!!!! | |
| Danger Zone by MacMaxDJ | 3 years ago |
Wow, great work! I was expecting this to be total garbage to tell you the truth, but I was happily surprised! The chords in the middle stick out like a sore thumb though, could do with some phaser treatment  Sounds like a techy collab between Paul Van Dyk, Chicane, Simon Patterson, and Underworld. Very good sound! |
|
| public by Lapskin | 3 years ago |
| Reminds me of bop along cassedy being molested and violently beaten. Same kind of well...boppy sense with some techy *** beats to boot. Very creative...colorful and dark at the same time...who else but lapskin |

| untitled by jamesxsrecords | 3 years ago |
| What an ear-ache...what exactly are you trying to accomplish with this? I don't get it... | |
| Living in New York by Pagani | 3 years ago |
| Nice and beaty. Like the vocal samples too. Throw some EQ on the finished product to bring out the highs though, it'll make it sound more professional. Pop some more effects onto that bassy analog too, it could use a good coat of something. Good work! | |

| Run From Nanica ('Marin's Tune' by Filmscorz with Vocals) by wakegirlsarah | 4 years ago |
| My goodness what story. To be honest, this song kind of sounds like the sensitive female version of the "Shaft" theme with a latin twist. I think every man has met a Nanica somewhere along the line...crazy truth. | |
| MoogBoog by Schmange | 4 years ago |
The guitar sounds great, but I was hoping u were gonna let the moog take a solo  LOL don't worry, it's just me |
|
| In a manner of Hardtek by oaragues | 4 years ago |
| Great job of sampling and it sounds great when the beat comes full circle. This is probably the only time anyone will ever hear me say this, but I'm not sure the 4x4 beat works throughout the entire song. Maybe flip it up a bit with a dnb style loop or something and use the 4x4 kick as an accent, sparingly. Love the reversal at the end, by the way. |

| Soft Mule kick by Lapskin | 4 years ago |
| This reminds me of that old Nike commercial where the players are making rhythm by dribbling the ball and their shoes are squeaking on the floor. I think the synth bit sounds a little flat, maybe tweak it up a little bit with some reverb and chorus. As usual, you never cease to amaze me with how creative you can get and just seem to pull these really cool ideas right out of thin air. Let's have 500 more! |

| IT'S JUST MY HEAD TALKING..... by Bampot | 4 years ago |
| This is a nice funky break for anyone who's been knee deep in trance for the last 9 months I love that late night trumpet in there, and the beat is just stirring to the ***. Tons of atomosphere. This is definitely a summer anthem. Excellent work. |
|
| OASIS by itiswotitis | 5 years ago |

|
| Don't Know Why... by Geechi3 | 5 years ago |
| I knew there was SOMETHING I liked about you (besides the superficially obvious hehe) I officially dub thee an Indigo Girl |
|
| Lament Of Separation by Everine | 5 years ago |
| Man, my Stella really got her groove back I like the spoken part the best, not to say that your singing isn't up to it's usual greatness, it certainly is, but it was a nice unexpected twist in the path. I think you got the right flavors of all the genres you referenced, but personally I think this track would be most at home as a Superman Lovers-style deep/spacey/dub kind of track. Maybe you'll grace with a remix? |
|
| Reddington Avenue (Intro) by Everine | 5 years ago |
| One word: CLASS!! Love how you sampled "Night On Disco Mountain" from Saturday Night Fever, great choice. The guitar has flavors of "Crosses" by Jose Gonzales (if you haven't heard that song, check it out, and some of the remixes) It means alot to me to be an inspiration, especially to someone as talented as you. I could seriously hear this one being a Radio 1 dance anthem. I love the piano too. Amazing work as usual, and by the way Gwen, msg me cuz I have something important I need to talk to you about |
|
| So BIG! (Underground Hubby) by itiswotitis | 5 years ago |

| By the way, Granz's icon flashes in time with the drums when they first come in. Cool little effect, great planning guys! lol |
|
| SEXY SONG FOR A SEXY GIRL (In rock & latin swing) by Barretok | 5 years ago |
| This is a really good track, which is why I'm so iritated that the production quality is so low...will someone please explain to me why most of the rock/blues/alternative/blahwhateverthehellitis songs on here sound like they were recorded by an 80's boom box on the other side of a huge room? As far as the song itself goes, I think it's really cool. Has a nice swing to it, had me moving in a way I'm not used to. Kudos for making a song in this genre that feels fun and new instead of played out and yawnful. Nice work man. |
|
| Can't Handle It by Geechi3 | 5 years ago |
| I'm into the atomosphere this track presents right from the start. It really puts you into a different time...in my limited years I'm not quite sure exactly what time that is, but the vibe is very nice, hits it right on the head. Linda, you got your mojo back. Your voice floats over the track like smoke through a dimly lit jazz joint. Your vocal adds alot to the overall atomosphere of the song and the introspective lyrics feel right in place with the tone of the music. The pair of you have done an excellent job! You guys should collaborate on a more regular basis, seems you understand each other very well musically and it comes off crystal clear in the songs. |
|
| Robbie Sara Style by Lapskin | 5 years ago |
| Nice to see you're on Ableton. The Sytrus really sold me on Fruity Loops (Actually there was no selling involved lol) Anyway, This ain't really in my vein, bro...lot of ambient dubby sounds...I do have to say though that this is your best sounding track so far as far as production goes. Sounds very professional. Did you do the singing yourself? If so, good on ya! |
|
| Hollywood Bungalow by Kill_Bot | 5 years ago |
| Nice and dreamy...excellent work. I'm not sure I'd classify this as "vintage" electronica, feels like alot of the newer prog/disco/house songs that were floating around Ibiza last summer. I think you nailed the dynamic right at the intersection of those 3 genres. Love it, keep up the good work! | |
| Weekend Has Come (Pulstated) (With Commercial Permission!) by Pulstate | 5 years ago |
Too bad you had to drill down the bitrate...Great song choice. Nice job. I'm sad to hear no more originals  I was really getting into them. |
|
| itiswotitis (the underground hubby) D&B ala OA by ORANGEAUDIO | 5 years ago |
| Simply amazing beats...how intelligent Love it. Bass is awesome, is it 808 or 303? Great atomosphere. The effects you have on the piano are really nice. For the most part it has a nice simple feel to it, which I think would make it a good choice for being the last song on a record. |
|
| Bunnies by Everine | 5 years ago |
| Nice melodies, sounds very Celtic...ancient Irish even. Brought a smile to my face right when I needed one...it's always you! lol |
|
| Underneath the Moon preview... by aznsoljah | 5 years ago |
| Great work. All the elements are in place for a wonderful track. Try switching the beat up a little bit. Love the pads you used. Let me know when the final version is ready! | |
| LOVE BOMB!!! by itiswotitis | 5 years ago |
| Ok, this one goes just a little further to the psychadelic side than I think I'm allowed to go. Listened with headphones...spooky!! Vocals are certainly something interesting...a bit more screamy than usual. What happened to that nice 'scarlifting' quality it used to have? Sounds like you were really pulling your throat muscles, but the melodies are nice. As far as the production goes, I think this is one of your best, Orange. I was pulled into this strange hazy place from the start of the song and it kept me there all throughout. There's alot of excellent atomosphere that is too often overlooked in collaborations, as there's usually a rush to get things done, the small stuff gets thrown under the bus, but not this time. Everything about the instruments is wonderful. Good to see the pair of you working together again, looking forward to next time. |
|
| Give Me Tonight by bimmzy | 5 years ago |
| Excellent work. One of the better dance tracks I've heard on this site in recent memory. Did you do the vocals yourself? I love the simplicity in the voice. Great synth runs. | |
| Push the 300 by Lapskin | 5 years ago |
| Interesting...Google this: K_Tizer.mp3 I very vaguely remember a track very similar to this one by a member of the Kosmic Free Music Foundation from way back when. It was called "Hypnotizer" and it had alot of elements of this gabber type of stuff. Has kind of a middle eastern flare to it. As for this one, I'm just amazed. I'd forgotten that this style of music could be good. As a matter of fact I found a link to that song. Please note this music is public domain and was never intended to be sold for profit and was meant to be free in accordance with the beliefs of the Kosmic Free Music Foundation: http://kosmic.darkscape.net/archives/1998/mp3/k_tizer.mp3 |

| Collaboration- X in Da Club by DavidBowles | 5 years ago |
| Nice bassline and beats, but other than that I'm really not feeling it. Sounds very generic, I'd like to have heard each artist make more an imprint. Time for a remix maybe? I know you guys have it in ya! |
|
| Lalluby For Sean by Everine | 5 years ago |

| Orange Techno Lounge - class A stuff by ORANGEAUDIO | 5 years ago |
| This track is hot enough to melt the icecaps. Way to cause global warming, OA! You were right, I knew I'd like this one. Alot more pressure than I'm used to hearing from you. Everybody has a more energetic side to them and yours sounds great. |
|
| The Funky House Dance by archie7777 | 5 years ago |

| The Hidden Agenda by Everine | 5 years ago |
| Didn't you were such a 9 to 5 type of gal, Gwen. A bit too traditional (I think is the right word) for my general taste, but there are a few things about it that sparkle. Good accents on the 32's and the drums are fantastic. Dy-No-Mite! |
|
| Joseph {Chillout Dub Mix} by Everine | 5 years ago |
