| NEANDERTHAL by musickofall | 2 years ago |
| I really like this. | |
| A Man Who's Drinking by MakenaMonk | 2 years ago |
| I really enjoyed this. I recently wrote a song called "Alcoholics Anthem" along the same lines... I can relate with this piece a lot- So thank you. ~RR |
|
| Chantey for a destitute buccaneer by PurePerversity | 2 years ago |
| I much enjoyed this ditty. I'm always impressed with your quality... always spot on. Looking forward to this EP. | |
| Less than we need by PurePerversity | 3 years ago |
 I always love the stuff that comes out of this song factory, amazing production and I love how everything flows... what else can I say? Great RR |
|
| The Miracle Of Love by etgilles | 3 years ago |
| A truly beautiful song throughout it's entirety. | |
| My Headstream by ponkey | 3 years ago |
I really love this track- and I was halfway through before I read the description. I feel very RichardRinger when I do music too. Interesting note to the listener: Ponkey says: "Earth Splits Open What's that? Birds come flying out" I say: "The Earth opened up it's mouth, And we came out" Very interesting messages in this song... that's what I love about art- music in general, it can intersect and sometimes separate artists can drift around similar styles and then just naturally center around the same strong statement. Beautiful how it works really. Love it, fly high as always. ~RR |
|
| Collisions by DanielLambert | 3 years ago |
| Reminds me a lot of Demon Days D-sides... I think your album art works great with it... quite a marriage. |
|
| Seventh Son by ClayPotts | 3 years ago |
| This wasn't what I was expecting when I clicked on it and it said the genre was "dance"... boy was I surprised (completely pleasantly). I love this genre... and I love that people are still making it... Thanks for this man. |
|
| In the Night... They Dance by Audiogasm | 3 years ago |
| total atmosphere... I can see futuristic unmanned factories...aye maybe not so futuristic... I liked the mood you create here. |
|
| doo wah too by j0j0 | 3 years ago |
| Interesting lyrics...excellent flow. | |
| Jana Found A Trumpet by zallaz | 3 years ago |
| I agree total nonsense done right. A simplicity to this track that I love... like over the rainbow or wonderful world... thanks for this. | |
| IN THE HOUR OF NOTHING by Barretok | 3 years ago |
| Barre, yours is an acquired taste... one which I have acquired over a couple years... and am better for it. You always take the listener to that dank little seedy underworld... once you learn to appreciate the cracks in the ceiling as masterpieces all unto themselves... you get it. | |
| A Whole New Mind by Storkaas | 3 years ago |
| Usually tracks done digitally don't strike a certain chord with me so to speak... but this was different... just the right amount of mood I guess... | |
| HD: Hard Boiled Jane by ponkey | 3 years ago |
| I love that carnivalesque intro...and then throughout. Very upbeat... and yes that outro guitar is great... partner that with the vocals (I do dig the vocals)... well I guess the whole package is quite attractive really, not sure why I had to mention each aspect individually... very well done. | |
| final frontier by birdsonic | 3 years ago |
| Sounds like someone gave you some good advice. It seems like pain doesn't ever really go away... it just sort of fades a bit, but that doesn't mean there wont be a scar... but when you turn it into a song... that song can always be played, and just as loud as it needs to be. | |
| Having Seen by longinous | 3 years ago |
| haha quite alright champ! I like the way the guitar in this one kind of dances around all drunk but in control. True lyrics. Nice stuff man, I miss hanging out. | |
| VoiceLive Harmony Test by lummie | 3 years ago |
| Actually I really do think that is awesome... perfect harmonization... technology is getting scary... |
|
| There I Am (part one) by RichardRinger | 3 years ago |
| My new Keyboard has a note bender, so I was getting some use out of that for the droning sound. As for the "harmonica", that was a key run through two filters recorded live through "seagulls" in my ten track. | |
| A Pair Of Brown Eyes by Dyl | 3 years ago |
| Why didn't I open my ears to this 18 days ago? This is so full and rich. | |
| sailing by nlsn | 3 years ago |
| Quite laid back, very enjoyable. Nautical seems to be catching on, if it ever went out. Really like the picking. RR |
|
| To California and to New York by RichardRinger | 3 years ago |
| It's just a combination of many things that's led me to take a temporary leave of absence from icompositions... I'm sure I'll be back sometime- just not for a while. | |
| Loyalty by HayleyDeakin | 3 years ago |
| You wouldn't know it to look at me (or listen to me) but I really like stuff like this- much enjoyed welcome back Hayley RR |
|
| The End of Sickness and Death by Justin_Case | 3 years ago |
| Love that cough halfway in- you know the one- I get you SICK=COUGH gone in a gong totally gone. "Men have called me mad; but the question is not yet settled, whether madness is or is not the loftiest intelligence -- whether much that is glorious -- whether all that is profound -- does not spring from disease of thought -- from moods of mind exalted at the expense of the general intellect" <------Edgar Allan Poe I through that in because this sir is very mad, maybe a bit to the abrasive side but is the disease of thought something that would be cured and then in a perfect world where all good souls ARE-- would it exist? Intersquimishly existent perhaps? hahahahaHAHA I dont know now I'm just playing clown words- but yes I want to hear number two when it's done- for sure fun easy easy Richard |
|
| I'm Still Here by AudioIrony | 3 years ago |
| what a dream team aye? Neat subtlety's you have going on here- all glitch pop and goodness... love that thing that sounds like a choir... I'm still here <- neat repetition RR |
|
| Envelopes and Ink (nobody writes me anymore) by pete | 3 years ago |
| I relaxed to this this evening, and am very glad you did it... thanks for the unwind easy Easy RR |
|
| NIGHT by Barretok | 3 years ago |
| Wow is this full! Love that distant sound you always seem to hit, like your in the other room of a smokey bar or something... | |
| Tenerlo Todo by vegetal | 3 years ago |
hmmmm, I don't speak Spanish so I cant understand what your singing but I like the way it's sung a lot, edgy and I like it. |
|
| Inn Haathon ki by shubhamagarwal | 3 years ago |
| interesting composition, full of background, this is why I like this site, I would have never found music like this otherwise! well done. |
|
| Prisoner John by RichardRinger | 3 years ago |
| okay I had Mike slightly bring up the vocals, thanks for your feedback. | |
| D.A.R.E. - Gorillaz cover by eurostrike | 3 years ago |
Wow, I love Gorillaz, and I was apprehensive when you said you're taking a string take on it...but man did you do it right! Love it! |
|
| Song To The Siren by etgilles | 3 years ago |
| Wow, this caught me off guard this morning, I know both you guys are stellar but I think you both reached new heights with this one...I am absolutely in love with how this song develops... | |
| Tara's Theme (solo violin), "Crushed" soundtrack by innerlife | 3 years ago |
Very sad look inside her soul, I love how music can always tell you the most about a character in film...very well done. I always wanted to learn violin...this is why. |
|
| Rhyme and Reason (live) by PurePerversity | 3 years ago |
Love how you use your instruments out of the norm, the whole thing put together is really smashing, I think you guys are ready for your tour. |
|
| Dust by KnqulearShift | 3 years ago |
off the wall stuff man, you definitely have your own universe, it's a fun visit  |
|
| train wreck by birdsonic | 3 years ago |
| Wow, you really need to release an album, I really like this stuff and know tons of other people who would like it too. | |
| A Place in The Choir by pete | 3 years ago |
I really enjoyed this Pete. Had a very sea chanteyesque feel to it. |
|
| flying lessons by lizzyduquette | 3 years ago |
This was really really neat Lizzy. You do amazing work. |
|
| the man who slept for one hundred years by lizzyduquette | 3 years ago |
Wow, this was very much enjoyed! I especially liked your ideas with the title rope reversal, and the beard growing- very clever and unique! |
|
| Live It Made (work in progress) by signorina_oscurata | 3 years ago |
Wow you're really talented. I really love the direction and your voice in this, it's very much a character voice, quite nice! |
|
| Grave Digger by martyrprojekt | 3 years ago |
| Yeah, this is metal. You do a service to your craft. |
|
| Miskatonic U Quartet by padowan_learner | 3 years ago |
| wow...how wonderfully strange. Felt like it should be played in some weird out there indie film...most likely right after some college student has fallen out the window and everyones looking down at him, and then students just walking around campus....anyway thats the little film that played through my head. I liked. | |
| Lessons in Health (live in the lounge) by PurePerversity | 4 years ago |
| Very interesting setup! Well played....I thought I was the only one who had a melodica! | |
| 13. Running Girl by THE_SISCOM_GURU | 4 years ago |
| Has a very creepy portishead feel to it. I like that guitar that comes in and out, and the way the bass moves, if that makes any sense! Well done. | |
| MYOT: the hungriest shark by ponkey | 4 years ago |
Very full, very full. Loved the clever wordplay, it was altogether reminiscent of "The Coral" to me. Very much enjoyed on this Tuesday morning, thanks guys! |
|
| Traveling with Bernie (always a trip) by pete | 4 years ago |
Interesting to hear Barretok in such a poppy piece! I enjoyed it! Especially when those horns came in. Very well done both Pete and Barre. |
|
| Hallelujah by the_goat | 4 years ago |
| I like this a lot. Heavy contradictions and contrasts in songs are always interesting. I really like music like this, leaves a the whole taste of desolation in your mouth. Well done. | |
| CINDERELLA'S MURDER by Barretok | 4 years ago |
| Good use of the Joker, once again! I really like the instrumental breakdown. | |
| Daydream by Homebrand | 4 years ago |
| This was a great way to start the morning. I daydream to much... | |
| Fires in Glendale by Kresling | 4 years ago |
Bobsixstringer told me to check you out, described you as having a intelligent approach, I completely understand where he's coming from now. |
|
| King 1 by froth_huntings | 4 years ago |
| The only part I don't like is that the volume maxes out occasionally, but trust me mine does that a lot to. I really liked the whole feel of this. The background yelling, and the guitar effects especially, good one! | |
| Time is No One by froth_huntings | 4 years ago |
| lo-fi and I like it. Reminds me of the very beginning of "Antennas To Heaven" a "Godspeed You! Black Emperor" song. As for not remembering the lyrics, I can definitively relate. | |
| Regents Park by sonic_magpie | 4 years ago |
| Very sad, Piano reminds me of some Patrick Wolf, I very much like Patrick Wolf. Very nice production all together, I love what Stevel added. Quite nice. | |
| comeback by Narananda | 4 years ago |
| Yes I enjoyed the percussion in general as well. and the "Whoahaha" sound, quite out of the ordinary. | |
| scream and let it all out by Lapskin | 4 years ago |
| Ah, the man who produces more music than God. Strong base track. Reminds me of a NIN song that was used on "Man of Fire", a fine movie. So instantly when I heard this song I wanted to be buying guns, like in the scene of the movie, was that what you intended? Enjoyed it Lap, keep on keeping on. | |
| Study in Silver and Grey by soulima | 4 years ago |
| This was a very relaxing piece. I agree with feenixx, I would describe this as painting, its a very pretty picture, naturalistic in a way, thanks for the listen. | |
| At War's End by Balok | 4 years ago |
| Post-apocliptic is always a good vice for scenery. Yes I can see the scene, quite bleak, one of my favorite lines from a song says "Was it worth all that war just to win?" This piece says that with instruments, very well done. | |
| Black Promises by MakenaMonk | 4 years ago |
| So honed, lovely through and through. I really enjoyed this one. | |
| Cousin Jerry by RichardRinger | 4 years ago |
| Aye yes, I saw plenty of that to. I walked literally everywhere. It took a long time...and it was cold. | |
| OTM: new blues by ponkey | 4 years ago |
| Yes Ponkey, I have missed you. I really enjoy the structure of this song, the structure combined with the lyrics, the lyrics are killer in subject matter and flow, and easy for me to relate to. Well done sir. | |
| #5 Old Dirty Rocks (The Balloon) by AlvisFreeman | 4 years ago |
| I understand the importance of continuing a musical story. Heard this one on ICR today, enjoyed the quirky feel of it so much I had to look it up, sweet work. | |
| The Ground below us Remix by longinous | 4 years ago |
Great remix guys, glad to see such talents in of kilter collision, very enjoyable. |
|
| Dictionary by longinous | 4 years ago |
I like the tame of the vocals,and the clang of dishes in the back, was that intentional, or was Lee Ann being inconsiderate? haha. I also like it where it picks up there in the middle. Very well done. |
|
| Fafnir by the_goat | 4 years ago |
I really like the piano in this. You can always tell when its a real piano, it just has that perfect reverb and feel to it. Long musical journeys like this are right up my ally, so I really enjoyed this. |
|
| Fickle Matter by longinous | 4 years ago |
This is the first time I think I've heard this song. I really like the way its played, the guitar is quite different in a very unique way from your other selections. |
|
| A Thousand Ways by UncletupeloFan | 4 years ago |
Very interesting how one did the guitar and the other vocals, could have sworn it all came from the same brain. You play well off each others ideas. |
|
| Save Yourself by jipes | 4 years ago |
I saw the title and was really wondering if it was a cover of Tarkio, lo and behold it was! Didn't know anyone else knew this song, very well delivered. I got into Tarkio because I loved the Decemberists, Tarkio's "Save Yourself" is one of my all time favorite songs. |
|
| Rubber Ducky Escaping from the Bath by PurePerversity | 4 years ago |
Incredibly full, great production, really REALLY glad I found this one! I Favorited....and I hardly ever do that. Go ahead check...see, I never favorite, what did you think I would lie? |
|
| God's Love [fiddle & voice] by WhiteRaven | 4 years ago |
| Amazingly good lyrics, I can relate. | |
| OTM: no reason why by ponkey | 4 years ago |
I really enjoyed the lyric on this one. |
|
| outside by birdsonic | 4 years ago |
| A rare happening indeed! Enjoyed it. | |
| Without A Warning (Graziella's song) by Dyl | 4 years ago |
| Everything in this sounds great. Terrific story, beautifully told. I really enjoy the ending with the guitar. You really honored your grandmother with this song, truly. | |
| ...and then there was merchandising (Oxjam) by ponkey | 4 years ago |
| How in the world do you make me want to laugh in the beginning and middle, and then feel so incredibly sad at the ending? What is that?! I'll tell you what it is. It's good stuff. | |
| Let It Float by the_goat | 4 years ago |
This is a very good listen, it gives me an "end of the movie" feeling, which I naturally associate with a "beginning of the album" placement. I think this would make a great opening for the Oxjam record, kind of like the intro song. |
|
| Leviathan by Rusticalia | 4 years ago |
Yes I can clearly see the Sufjan reference. Similar picking, similar lyric content. Now all you need is a choir of soft singing females saying "Leviathan" over and over again...very good song. Glad we had a chat so I could discover and enjoy your music. |
|
| MYOT: my second wife by ponkey | 4 years ago |
| Not to mention one is rewarded on repeated listens! The best music is always like that. | |
| MYOT: my second wife by ponkey | 4 years ago |
Quite the interesting lyric...your welcome for the inspiration, and thank you for the sequel, I think they go together like peas and carrots! |
|
| Outerbody Innerspace (Otherworld Version) by Homebrand | 4 years ago |
I was waiting for the umbadaheys unbadahos...and they didn't come. I really like what you do with your vocals here. I listened to an album a while back, by one of my favorite artists. They had just been signed to a major record label recently and this was there first out on it. I was tortured when I listened to this CD, because even though it was..."Good" I knew the artist, so I knew they were holding back in the vocals. They were tamed. Thats what I like about your vocals. I never feel like you hold back. Stay untamed. |
|
| REALITY OF MIND by Barretok | 4 years ago |
| I can feel the spirit, it exists in the way the words are arranged in the voice box, not so much how they are written. Quite nice. | |
| NO CURE by itiswotitis | 4 years ago |
It's been a while since I tuned in mejo. You sound meaner. I like it. I can see this in a fight scene. I would describe it as "tufty" instead of "Fluffy". ~RR |
|
| Hava Nagila by dersu | 4 years ago |
| Just wanted to let you know, I've been listening and enjoying. | |
| Peccantem by pigeonfilter | 4 years ago |
This was delicious. Creepy, and the vocals really sounded miles deep. Great production. ~RR |

| the reason for leaving by frautschi | 4 years ago |
Mich, today I saw you've commented on some of my songs, so I decided to give you a listen. This is "the greatness". I am deeply impressed. This is the kind of music thats right up my ally and I can get into. Your comments mean more now that I know what kind of caliber music you're making. A splendid job done by all. ~RR |
|
| SMAF: she bit my nose off by ponkey | 4 years ago |
| hmmmmm thought that title sounded a tad familiar. You did it justice. | |
| I Break Twice by nadiestar | 4 years ago |
| I have a Bass...but I hardly ever play it. Thanks for sharing this. | |
| 55 Bottles of Blue Beer by nadiestar | 4 years ago |
| I really love the background voices. The harmonica sounds perfect. Ending made me laugh...hard. | |
| Dance by Reuben | 4 years ago |
| Dance genre is a tricky one. It's not really my preferred genre but it seems you really have a handle on it. I've heard professional dance tracks that sounded much less full than this. Congratulations, this is a success. | |
| I'm Free (Chinese Whispers 1) by ChineseWhispers | 4 years ago |
wow is this good! I especially am into the bass, it really seems to stand out to me. about halfway through though, I got a splinter stuck in my eye, so I was concentrating on that for about a minute, but the music was still there, and somehow... it fit. |
|
| A Theory of Distraction by Justin_Case | 4 years ago |
| I do enjoy it when the choir enters, and the bells start to speed up. I could differently see this put to the ballet dancer. It must have been some experience to see your art flow with another's. I really like the slow ending with the keys and the creeping of that string, she must have been out of breath by then! | |
| Fade to Black by EvilFactman | 4 years ago |
| "When it comes to life I don' have the knack" love that line, I can totally relate with this. |
|
| And I Don't Know by borris | 4 years ago |
| amazing production, shiny through and through, ow that's bright, but it hurts so good if you know what I mean. | |
| wonderful world by ponkey | 4 years ago |
| This was an amazing way to start my day. Better than Wheaties. | |
| The Greatest Gift (If You Get My Drift) by Dyl | 4 years ago |
This is very full and might I say "fat and sassy"? I don't know why but that was ingrained in my mind from note one. glad to see these lyrics born so long ago, finally finding a home in such capable musicians hands. ~RR |
|
| Memories by Homebrand | 4 years ago |
I'm glad to hear more of you Magnus. This does certainly take the listener to a different place. It took me somewhere, to some memories, and I enjoyed it. ~RR |
|
| I'm Going to Shangra-La by mfwmiles | 4 years ago |
| I really liked the lyrics in this. You know I did a song a while back that was also from the perspective of Vincent Van Gough, so this theme really appealed to me. You and I had two very different takes. I also really liked your voice in this, I felt it was a sure fit. This was a very enjoyable performance. |
|
| Hurt (Johnny Cash cover) by NinaGiampaolo | 4 years ago |
love the subtle back beat, amazing voice, out of the ordinary, incredible this was in one take. |
|
| I am by brnPetra | 4 years ago |
There are those clean little shiny voices that make it to the final five in American idol and shows like the such, voices I like to call: boring. And THEN there are voices like this, you know the kind you can't wait to hear again in a new song, that form a character like Neal Young, Colin Meloy, Damon Albarn, Ponkey, and artists of the such. To top off this amazing little voice you have, you go ahead and put it behind some mellow acoustic and keys, which I'm of course, in the mood for. Sorry, at this point I'm rambling, But I'm just so glad I found this. ~RR |
|
| No More Crying by Saltydog | 4 years ago |
| The production of this track intrigued me to no end. I to have a trusty old Fender acoustic. | |
| 1996 by Mystery | 4 years ago |
| interesting. Has a flow. I dont think the clap really belongs but what do I know. |
