 Great, fun tune. Are these all live instruments... drums sound to right on, or just a damn good drummer. Who's singing? you? Very good. |
|
| ••• SUMMERTIME ••• by RiGee | 6 years ago |
Great Rendition. Had me fooled about the reality of the instrument. I'll take note of the pedal. Solid timing and clear production. Tasty piece... |

| Bedsitter Lovers/Turn of a Key by Candorwien | 6 years ago |
 I think a better mix with the vocal would definetly make this song a better listen. Otherwise I do love the guitar tone, it's different from your others, which shows your integrity is found within that ever searching quest for self expression (an artist), however I do not get the same intense feeling from this song as Maggie's Cafe or Shout of Hatred. This is a gut judgement, nothing else. Technically I appreciate the "prechorus" and the outro of the song. The chorus break part is my favorite in the song (by the turn of a friendly key?). Take care and keep up the quest, I'll be listening. |
|
| Shout of Hatred (remix) by Candorwien | 6 years ago |
| Candorwien, I don't know man. I love your voice, so please use it. This remix does your original no justice. Just like Neumuzik, I loved this song from the start, but this remix sounds so uneven in the mixing and I'm not a fan of the new vocal. I do however like the lead at the break and the outro ambiance ringing out, pretty killer. Take care and it's been a while, good luck with future stuff. | |
| Fernvale by Nolan | 7 years ago |
Very good job. I'm sure the song would sound 10X better with a live band. Great use of the loops, as above, they are right, one of the best sounding rock/pop songs using loops only, another master at that is SlimGirlFat. Very good singing and harmonizing. As far as the song goes, it's not really my thing, but i respect the mastery of production and vocal ideas. |

| Fades Away by toots | 7 years ago |
I'm probably not one who should mention this, as I'm no better with vocals, but they sound fairly out of tune hear and there, at least one of you, like they're warping. I don't know, give me a few more listens, the imperfection could really grow on me. The song is very good and the mix is fairly solid, like the build toward the end (break lead). You guys are still good musicians if nothing else. Buy the way, Buddy Holly, Rolling Stones, The Doors, Greatful Dead, Joy Division, and countless others; Fade(s) Away is fine. |

| Descent by 7smiles7 | 7 years ago |
| This is really good, but was it really done on GB? | |
| Everlasting Care by NailInTheEye | 7 years ago |
Still love this song. The mix sounds a little better, not much. |
|
| 1_How_it_Is1 by roadshine | 7 years ago |
Great song, love the recording. Sounds like it was recorded live at a hole in the wall. Love your voice, a bit of Neil Young I think. The guitar tone and effect is perfect for the song. Just a solid song. The lead guitar part could be a little more lively and dirty I think. I will put this on favorites. Are those live drums? Love it. |
|
| Unobtainable Remedy by Nolan | 7 years ago |
This song is beautiful. The melody is great. I think it could be a lot better with some guitar, maybe bass, and interludes of drums, backing vocal. The recording is not so good though, it's kind of muddy and fuzzy, as that might work on analog, it doesn't on digital. Still on it's own, it's a very good cocept and song on it's own. The performance needs a bit more confidence (tightening?), even if your playing the vulnerable card. These are just opinions, as the song is strong enough to exist without them, will rate higher if things change. Lyrics are good. |
|
| Cheese Sandwiches by Digital | 7 years ago |
Interesting, although i think the primus thing doesn't fly to well without live musicians. All the instruments sound too dry, and it gets really monotonous. You need to fill space here and there and take it on different travels. The end thing with the flanged out funk guitar line thing is very cool though. I like the concept, it just needs a lot of work. |
|
| sort of tunnel by takuro yonezawa | 7 years ago |
| Sounds like Reason or Abelton. You can't auto pan like this in GB, or can you. The sounds don't sound like GB at all. | |
| Nothing Of It by Nolan | 7 years ago |
Simple, straight-forward, full of heart, and yes I hear the Neil Finn reference. Beautiful melody. I would probably eq one of the guitar tracks on either side differently and pluck the bass string of the guitar if you don't have a bass to add some backing rhythm and harmony. Love the ending harmony. Great piece Nolan. |
|
| Let it go by Ken Pinkstaff | 7 years ago |
Not just liked it, really liked it. Except the mix (eq) was screwing with my ears. Your voice is really good and unique. I would take out some of the treble or high mids in the cymbals. It's a very good song, and has lots of energy. You have a Axl Rose kind of quality to your voice at times. Pretty cool. Looking forward to more and will put up on the favorites. If you did this on your own, much appreciation for your talents and hard work. Please fix the mix though. P.S. I assume the drums are real ones, how did you record this song? What was your tracking process? Peace. |
|
| When She Walked In (Original version) by DaveM | 7 years ago |
| Very good Generic? that's interesting. | |
| Pulsating Love by Ayhan | 7 years ago |
Enjoyed it as a whole, and the repitition works well with the shifting soft synth in the background, kind of a moody organic thing meeting face to face with a cold and detached world (cash register, type writer, dot matrix printer?). like the upright bass breakdown and would like to hear that come in sooner in the composition. Very good use of odd sounds in a rhythmic pattern. I realized I just rated your other two songs, and loved them. Know wonder I thought there was familiar thread here. I'm just really digging your stuff, keep it up. |
|
| Park Fountain by Fugitive | 7 years ago |
 Reminds me of Scorn in the very beginning, but it just looses me after the first 3 seconds. I like the backward effect a lot however after the vocal deliveries. Sloppy performance, but it has personality at points. The digital stepper somehow works with the song, but I wouldn't mind hearing another effect, like some horns or something. I like the vocal melody on the verse a bit, kind of like "Cracker" -esqe. Peace. |
|
| Soul of the City by Fugitive | 7 years ago |
It's a pity the production is terrible and the musicianship is either bad or okay, because the song has a ton of promise. I would suggest rehearsing the song and maybe taking it on the stage, if you can find a third person (drummer hopefully). Really good idea, the end is much appreciated, except for the quick drop off. I know your having fun, but the performance should be captured at its best if you intend to have people pass this song around and take it as a real peice of music. Dig the vocal personality. Peace. |
|
| Sinful by Ayhan | 7 years ago |
Another outstanding production. Love the part at a third way through that sounds like a marching band inside a subway tunnel, the reverb is heavy. Great stuff again. Loved it. But I like Venom a little better as an overall composition. The "tool" (Adam ?) scratching thing near the 2/3 mark is a nice surprise (sounds a bit like a frog slurping mud up a straw). The end with the voice over is well done, and there are some effects toward the end that help the song build into the release really well. Love it. Will be waiting for more. |
|
| Venom by Ayhan | 7 years ago |
This was done in GB, impressive. Sound quality and mix are superbly done. The effects your using don't really sound like GB, more like Reason or other 24/32 bit processors and have a unique sound. Are you using real instruments and effecting them, or maybe a keyboard like a triton, or virus. If this was done on GB alone, which I don't think, it would be the best sound quality and mix effects (production) I've heard using GB. Otherwise the song/composition is outstanding. I love it. |
|
| Left blue by Sverker | 7 years ago |
Love your voice, reminds me of one of my faves, Greg Lake. Piano overdub is tastefully excellent. The song is just beautiful, period. So well executed. This one might just have knocked out one of my top tens. The production in the beginning is a little sketchy, as you can hear the real instrument (guitar) come in, sonically that is. I don't care for the marraca at the start. Otherwise, just beautiful singing and playing. Great job. Drums sound great, but a little overdone, now that I listened again. And I know this is done in traditional approach, but I would have liked to hear something that would of knocked me on my rear end when i least expect it. Okay that's it. Peace. |
|
| Rude Boy by cvJoint | 7 years ago |
"Rude boy" was actually once a derogatory term used in the late 60's Jamaica for the criminal unemployed and ganstas. It took on several different meanings overtime and is now used to associate a look "snazzy ska dresser" or 2tone with fans of the music. For a full on description on the history of the word and associations please visit: www.rootsworld.com/rw/feature/rudeboy.html Good song by the way, pretty true to roots Reggae. Although the slang is more associated with Ska. Song has a bit of Massive Attack going on. Peace. |
|
| nothing remix by myopic | 7 years ago |
This is a better production. This is maybe a model you might want to use for "Glows" but this song seems to have less reverb and instruments fighting for space, although the vocals sound more coherent overall. But this song as a whole doesn't grab me the way "Glow" does. It's good, but doesn't stand out in any way for me, as far as melody, uniqueness, character of approach, and intensity in playing. I know it's hard to get worked up by yourself, but I feel your work can use a little more energy (and that has nothing to do with speed of playing or anything like that), to capture that "Special Performance" that would boost your songs into another stratosphere. (Do you know any producers?). Good effort, keep it up. |
|
| Mondays by pseudoemissio | 7 years ago |
Dig it, kind of Amorphis like. The opening organ is kind of generic and would probably get rid of that or switch it to another instrument. Tight musicianship and good (Scandanavian?) melodies in their. Like the bass tone. Lyrics would be good, if this song is expounded on, as it's a little short for the genre. Strong first showing though, good job. |
|
| Last in Class by alachua | 7 years ago |
Good song. Can use better production. Little muddled in the mix (cluttered). Don't care for the lyrics too much. Like the vocal delivery, but I have a feeling you can do it better. Good first attempt though. |
|
| You're Not The Man I Thought I Knew by Aaron Hill | 7 years ago |
This song is good. Reminds me a bit of some King's X/Galactic Cowboys. The lyrics are a bit spinal tap in a flip of the coin way and little too goofey and facetious for me (the ones I can make out) when weighed against the title and music. Well anyway, Like the performance a lot and the recording sounds solid. Good job. |
|
| another jesus movie by xjudson | 7 years ago |
| I don't know why more people don't rate your songs. Maybe your titles scare them off. Still dig this one, and put it on favorites. Later. | |
| Got To Get Away by spinner | 7 years ago |
| Spinner, I went back and listened to Hands off the wheel and remembered listening and rating that track. If you can use that as a model to base your production off of, that would probably help you a lot, besides it's still a great song. | |
| Got To Get Away by spinner | 7 years ago |
It's all about the verse. You got a pop on your plosives. Maybe your too close to the mic or you don't have a screen, don't know your situation. The production can use beefing up, actually I'm hearing a ton of distortion (wind/vibration) on this track and it's very disturbing. The chorus dies because you need to up the tempo and find a drum track that will pump it up and find a suitable progression that will back the voice. This track has potential, but you have to do some changes and try to mix and master it better. The end with the Ah's is invititing and I dig it, same with piano. Good job for second song though. |
|
| Automatik by gmuir | 7 years ago |
Like it. Constructive Criticism: Make it longer. Has much promise. |
|
| The Feeling by hsirebbig | 7 years ago |
Man, you must be a Depeche Mode fan. This one is better than Spoons. But still sounds dated, but I like it. The Way is still your best work. Keep it up. |
|
| Spoons by hsirebbig | 7 years ago |
Reminds me a lot of early Depeche Mode. Pretty good, but dated. That could be your goal though. Also sounds like something off the Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack. |
|
| The Way by hsirebbig | 7 years ago |
| There are plenty people on this site that would lend vocals if you don't want to sing, just an after thought. I really like this one and would like to see it become something more. Peace. | |
| The Way by hsirebbig | 7 years ago |
The melody is really good, and if you can use real instruments to play this and get rid of the drums you have and find something more suitable for the mood of the song, it would be a much better song. Vocals would really help this. In fact the song is so melodic I heard Lyrcial melody right away. Good job, but I would try to add a little more. I know you said you did this out of boredom, but sometimes great art comes from Boredom rather than motivation, and eventually turns to inspiration. I would really like to hear you expound on the idea, using real guitar and bass, and a voice. |
|
| The Art Snot Hop by slackart | 7 years ago |
That mouthed loop is great. Love this one. The echo on the huge kettle drum (floor tom) is awesome. Peace. |
|
| Rabbit Moon by Uber Knacht | 7 years ago |
| Thanks vorr and cjg0001. "After the Goldrush" that's Neil Young, right? I'm very glad it affected you in the way it did, as if any of my pieces I consider art, this is it. Never heard of Porcupine Tree, but now I will, thanks for the tip CJG. Hasta. | |
| En Veloci Te by Uber Knacht | 7 years ago |
| The title is a play on words; more specifically, what people know as Spanglish. I have a lot of Latino Co-workers and Friends and we joke about the half @ss mixture of both languages coming together. So this title really means nothing but the Spanglish version of "In Velocity" which means to me, running at the speed of life, but with a sense of humor to help you get by. Thanks everyone for your comments. If Candorwien or SlimGirlFat can elaborate on the bass comment and the "horn" break that would be cool, as I'm very slow and don't exactly know what you mean. Thanks guys. | |
| The Self Made Man by Uber Knacht | 7 years ago |
| Thanks BeanBand, my goal is to do exactly what you said, make something that connects, even if out of tune here and there. I'm a fairly poor musician, but I can honestly say that I try my best, and value heart and expression above technicality, although that would be nice to possess as well. Thank you again for your input, it's appreciated. By the way I heard Neil Young say on radio he rarely tunes his guitar on stage and even during recordings, he adjusts to the sound he has when he's all pumped up. That's inspirational. | |
| Sunday Afternoon Slide by slackart | 7 years ago |
Slackart, for somebody who's just using loops you sure keep it interesting, and somehow unique. I like your mix, it's raw, but in a good and tasty way. The arrangement keeps me in the game, good stuff. |
|
| The Self Made Man by Uber Knacht | 7 years ago |
| Thanks for the comments vorr. The drum intro was just an experiment, and I'll consider replacing it, as I respect your opinion. I'm not the greatest guitarist, so sorry if it sounds a little stiff, it's probably because I'm a bass player and I like to keep things in a tight groove by nature. Peace. | |
| Inside by Chirpa5150 | 7 years ago |
Really good stuff. Tight playing. You got a hell of a voice, and the performance was fueled which is nice to hear on this site. Great job. But fix that ending. And you might want to eq the bass a little less muddy. |
|
| PostMan by mhillman159 | 7 years ago |
That piano sounds great, one of those 6 string ones I presume. Guitar playing is nice. The drums are perhaps a bit monotonous, maybe instead of drums try using strings or some kind of fretless bass instrument (cello?), I think it would help the piece a bit more. Or if you use drums try to use something that's in time with what you're playing, as I'm not the most technical musician, but that beat sounds a bit off from the meter and tempo you're playing in. I'm using the same beat in a song of mine (loop), so it's very familiar. |
|
| Shnazzy by Neumuzik | 7 years ago |
| Changing key is fine if it works for the song. | |
| Asperges Me (GarageBand version) by ANZ | 7 years ago |
| Man, I have to stop recording on GB, and get myself Pro tools. You just can't get the fatness in 16/44.1. This belongs on Pro-tools compositions. It's a very cinematic piece and done very well, but not from GB, rather put on GB. I can't rate it. | |
| I'm not the Walrus, are you? by Xevious | 7 years ago |
| Isn't this the progression from "Dear Prudence"? Lose the extreme pan, it makes the song very wimpy, and just doesn't work with your recording. | |
| Mars Attack by copterboy | 7 years ago |
Electronic Deep Purple, that's all I can think of. The comic book movie "Heavy Metal" comes to mind while listening. Interesting. The mix is pretty solid. |
|
| The World Below by jp0186 | 7 years ago |
This song has plenty promise and underneath the technical flaws is a gem. The mix is terrible, bass panned and to muddy (bass), the drums sound the best, the acoustic sounds good, but the lead guitar is way to high in the mix and the way you eq it makes it sound worse. You're vocals are way too muddy and sloppy, although I know your probably going for an effect close to that, you still need to clean it up a bit. Overall the way it's mixed and the eq of the instruments ruin it for me. I will happily rate this one over with a higher rating if you ever get to it. You also need to tighen up the playing at points, as it gets a little too loose and off time. Really good song though, Reminds me a bit of John Frusciante new stuff. |
|
| paika legend by jblend | 7 years ago |
| I liked the synth stuff, but the voice over kind of cheapens it, and the rhythm section, thumping techno thing ultimately destroyed the song for me. I'm not going to rate this, because without the voice and the percussion I would have rated it somewhere around a four or five. I would suggest doing it strictly ambient, no pulse, just arhythmic. | |
| I want you to know (redo) by Conor | 7 years ago |
See, this is much better. Recording and production are much better. The verse parts with the slacker rhythm and happy go lucky guitar swagger is so catchy, but the middle break down part last for too long and it strikes me as filler, although it has a few good moments. Overall the song is much better and easier to listen to, good work. The end, that pops out of nowhere is cool, and reminds me of some kinda of juxtposition arrangement Fugazi would use. and the reprise part at the end that comes back is very cool and does a lot for the song as a whole but gets cut off, which is not good. The opening drum part kind of works, but I can hear something that's not rhythmic, like a guitar feedback growing or sustained keys. Yeah, vocals would be cool and would help that middle part become more interesting. Much improvement, keep it up. |
|
| Angel's Garden Surrounding My Darkness by Kei Yz | 7 years ago |
First thing, get rid of kid voices, and loose the anthem guitar. Otherwise this song kicks butt. Drums remind me of Janes, Sympathy for the devil, or Panic in Detroit. I would just rather hear you scream ubiquitous remarks into a mic, with delay or auto pan. The guitar overring at the end is cool. Are you taking the melody from Guns of Brixton at the end, as there was rendition of it on Sandinista that involved a kid singing it. I like the song alot minus the things I've mentioned above, seems like everybody and there mother is using kids to do voice overs, and it's getting old. |
|
| Randomosity by hartimos | 7 years ago |
Overall sound is a little thin, but the composition is very good. I wonder if you would pan things a little wider and double guitars, would it open it up, as it sounded a little claustophobic on my headphones. The drums are great and I take it there live, or just a damn good loop section. |
|
| Worried Man-v3 by toots | 7 years ago |
Okay i can rate this. Great vocals. Well, if you're using all GB instruments internally, and your using an internal mic, this is just like what the song might sound like. Don't know the traditional version, but it's a great song, and kept me tuned in. |
|
| Pleasant Day by toots | 7 years ago |
| We're getting close to reaching my goal of having a three year old drinking a beer while singing Louis Armstrong covers. | |
| improv by einoo | 7 years ago |
This was a very happy cloud 9 type o song, and I liked it for that. The performance was really interesting, except in some spots it gotta a little shaky. The sound of the organ itself is good. The production was good, except I was hearing distortion around the higher parts. The end was not good however. Sounded like you ran out of gas. I would like to hear something like this fully developed. Not just an improve. Good luck. |
|
| Airwaves by inkubus4511 | 7 years ago |
I think this piece is quite killer. The background commentary reminds me of stuff off "Snivelization" from Orbital. And you're quite inventive. i have to disagree with Kodenzbogen. This track offers a lot for anybody that is into the feel. It's probably better to listen to while driving by the Manhattan skyline or late at night on a lit up parkway (freeway), or whatever. It reminds me of a stiff drink and humble attitude and traveling on the NYC transit. Thanks for the track, I loved it. |
|
| Rabbit Moon by Uber Knacht | 7 years ago |
| Thanks Captain. I don't know if I can pull this song off again without losing the original energy to capture the synching process. It's on my list, but honestly, I'm afraid it would be terribly difficult to capture the magic again. I'm actually quite happy with the "off version", but that's just me I guess. I am going to upload a new version, that I think the vocals are done better. Your comments along with Hartimos, make me think one of these months I'll break down and give it a try. Thanks for the critique. | |
| Maggies' Cafe by Candorwien | 7 years ago |
| In a league of your own man. Get this stuff to other musicians and start a band. You have a song writing savy not many have on this sight, and you need to get that out there. It's genuine to, and that makes it much more likeable. One thing I did notice after a third listen. You have to adjust the vocal at the three quarter mark to come down in volume, then at the very end (outro), you need to pull the vocals up. Are you trained in music, because you play the piano and guitar, and sing so well. Just a natural would not be surprising though. Peace. | |
| sicken by xjudson | 7 years ago |
Reminds me of something off Geza X's "Damn you kids" very manic and agressive in the lyric. Liked it, but not loved it, although creative and short. |
|
| absolute night by xjudson | 7 years ago |
I really loved the vocals and backing. The music was pretty much a blank canvas for me. The magic is in the vocals. Has anyone ever told you, your voice is close to Peter Gabriels and at times, Sully from Godsmack. It's a nice combo. Although I think more Gabriel, and that's a very cool thing. |
|
| Ghost of Summer by xjudson | 7 years ago |
I'm noticing a pattern. Straight bass, cut snare and hat in middle, and then drop everything except vocal. Then the reprise. It's a formula that works, but it runs through a lot of your work. I really like your voice, but the music I didn't care for as much this time. The lyrics were good. |
|
| another jesus movie by xjudson | 7 years ago |
I take it your a bass player. You have a lot of great ideas, and your voice is perfect for the themes and genre. I love the break part with the huge reverb on the snare. The commentary about Anderson was so unexpected, it really made a difference. This one was kick a@# as well, good job. |
|
| call me satan by xjudson | 7 years ago |
This song deserves a little more diversity, as noted above. Besides that, I love your voice (effected). The bass line and drum beat fit very nicely and makes for an original formula. I might listen to this again, and think maybe it doesn't need much change, as I feel you're not going for much dynamic on this one, just an atmoshpere. Loved it altogether. Will listen to your others. Lyrics sound interesting, although I can't make out everything. Banjo part is a nice little melody line. |
|
| A homecoming by Sverker | 7 years ago |
| My bad. I did not rate this song a 1.5 everybody. My apologies to Sverker. I think I rated it a 3.5 or that's what I thought it deserved. It needs work, but it's still much better than a 1.5. | |
| Rabbit Moon by Uber Knacht | 7 years ago |
| Thanks ericf. I think there's a common thread of thought running around, just like you said: Crapped out loops. although there's really good stuff on this sight, you just have to talk to the right people and keep your eyes open. Are you in relation to Eric A by any chance, just kidding. Take care. | |
| Maggies' Cafe by Candorwien | 7 years ago |
This is just astonishing. Okay, I'll stop wrting songs now. It's beatiful, clever, so well executed, and sung. Harmonies are amazing, you have nothing to worry about on the singing front. The vocals do get out of the mix towards the end, but i forgive that. Your brain works in such a way that is so pleasant to my ears, if that makes sense. This is my favorite song, okay tied with Shout of Hatred, but $#@$. You outdid yourself hear. I'm a true Candorwien supporter. Every instrument and voice is near flawless. Do not touch this track, except for adjusting vocal when needed. I've heard that there are only a handful of artists who can produce their own work, and you're one of them. ************************************************************************* That's how many it really deserves |
|
| Starfish [GB Remix] by vaporman | 7 years ago |
| This is my favorite of your songs. The production still got me though. The loud Clavels? loop is cool, but i would like to hear that replaced by another tone or instrument. Fix the production and you have me completely sold, as it reminds me at times of something off of THrack at times. I will not rate this one. I think it can be a lot better with production work. | |
| BedO2 by vaporman | 7 years ago |
I think you did justice to tape looping. The guitar playing is good, and I do think it hits upon Fripp, but yeah, Gilmore. I really dig this piece because it's not like much ambient stuff I listen to, the closest I can hear is some Dark Side, and maybe Deadman from Young's soundtrack to the movie. I do like the guitar, but in all honesty, i might lose it and replace it with something less obvious, at least I think that's how it would sound best. The end is beautiful and my favorite part. I can hear violin instead of guitar, that would be interesting. A distorted violin put through a envolope. I don't know. Anyway I really like it and hope to hear more like this one. Production is a little muddy, so... a 4 on that one. |
|
| Hands Off The Wheel by spinner | 7 years ago |
| Listened again. You should put this one up on Rock/pop even if it deserves the alternative to get more listens. It's a great song. I can't believe (or maybe I can, I've used somethings that were $2 and got good results), that you recorded the vocal on a clip mic of a camcorder. Great vocals. Love the melody. Would like to hear something else, don't rush. Sounds like you took your time, so I would keep that formula. Peace. | |
| Amy by internate | 7 years ago |
I like the sentiment, but the intro loop has been heard by everyone so much, so i wouldn't use that. The drums don't seem to fit. I would either go with none or more slowed down, or maybe effected in some way, just a more mellow tempo. Production is decent, but can use some more Bass to thicken it up and maybe pan things a bit differently, don't be afraid to experiment with sound placement. Good luck. |
|
| Spaceboy by ericf | 7 years ago |
Liked the beginning, than the late middle part lost me with that Steve Stevens sounding three part melody lead. The song over all can be a lot better, timing issues need to be resolved. Reminds me of a Danish metal band at times without chugging guitars called The Gathering, and Moonspell possibly. |
|
| Outward Upward by ericf | 7 years ago |
You'll have yourself a new fan if you drop out the middle Derrik Shenahan (Dream Theater) lead on synth, it's too chincy sounding and dated. Otherwise i love what you had going on and it reminded me of Public image Limited (beginning only). The beginning sucked me right in and put my brain into spin cycle, just like every good experiment should do. If you can come up with a new sounding lead or effects I would love this song and rate it a 5 straight up. Good luck. |
|
| Hands Off The Wheel by spinner | 7 years ago |
Pretty damn good for a non-musician. Is that your voice? It's very good, and moved me quite a bit. Kind of reminds me a bit of Bernard Sumner from New Order, sweet and melodic. I sense a bit of the Beatles that your talking about. You seem like a natural arranger and producer. I think this is extremely good for a first. Congrats. |
|
| Freak Beneath by Delusions Of Grandeur | 7 years ago |
Same comments from other song. Liked this one better, good party anthem. Like your voice, but it treads a little to close to Rob Zombie sometimes. Your performance and energy and production (arrangement/mix) are really exceptional for this music. Best of luck to you. |
|
| No Chance by Delusions Of Grandeur | 7 years ago |
Recording and performance are very good. Lot's of energy and seemed to capture the magic of what your going for. Kind of reminds me of Judas Priest meets White Zombie. Don't really care for guitar tone and opening riff, otherwise the song is strong for the genre. |
|
| Taurus by johnong | 7 years ago |
| I liked the vocals so much, I would rather hear the vocals on their own, or it would be interesting just to hear them along with one accompanying instrument, which would not distract so much or be less obvious, like a single string section, tabla, or acoustic guitar or Cello. I would rate it higher if it didn't have the techno background. Singer has much talent. | |
| Billy Bob's Lament (copyright 2004) by kencow | 7 years ago |
| I understand the humor, but this song deserves better lyrics, as it's quite good, and i find them degrading to what could be of this composition. Unless you want your work to be a joke, but I don't think so, judging the lament of the music. The vocal melody is really good, but the song as a whole needs more changes. A good first stab, will rate higher, if the changes were made. | |
| The Continents Song by ssstebbe | 7 years ago |
| It's a neat song for kids to learn on, but one thing. The lyrics are kind of muddled and need to be pronounced better, so the kids can hear them better (so they can learn). The song itself is well produced, only need to fix the lyrics. Sounds like it was recorded on tape, is that so? | |
| A homecoming by Sverker | 7 years ago |
| I agree with a lot of things that have been said already. I would like to add that you should fatten the backing vocal with more takes, and pan wide, and effect the vocal and eq differently from the lead. At times, very little intervals, it reminds me of Jeff Buckley, the music and melody. It is a solid and unique song and would like to hear a better version with the vocals loud and clear enough to hear the lyrics. I'm thinking it's about faith, the poster, title, and description really doesn't give anything away now, does it? (Sarcasm) | |
| Storm's Eye by PsycoSemaj | 7 years ago |
| You are young, and it's your first song, and there is a lot of depth here for someone of your age-- Wait... are you pulling a fast one on us... You're really 64. I knew it. No seriously, this song has lots of potential with a better mix, effects and production. Also get rid of mic rumble, I know it's supposed to be thunder, but at least loose some bass and find something a little more suitable for the job. Keep it up. Now I'm just waiting for the first three year old to compose Bethoven's Song in D# while drinking a beer. Now that will make me think twice about having kids. | |
| Believe Me! by kijana | 7 years ago |
| The production is weak, but the music and vocals remind me of old roots style, like Junior Murvin. Kind of thru me for a loop in the beginning, but then I got the style you were going for. | |
| Drip Drop by AtommikBoy | 7 years ago |
| This deserves respect. Kind of reminds me of a modern day Kraftwerk. The seperation on the tracks is outstanding, did you use something else besides GB? sounds close to 24 bit fatness and resolution, or you just have a great set of montiors and a equally great set of ears. Production is pretty top notch for GB. Great job, although the end went to quick for me, think it needs a better outro. i take that back, it sounds 16 bit, but on steroids. I think you're just a natural with mixing and using effects... | |
| Classic by inkubus4511 | 7 years ago |
| Listened again, and liked it better the second time around. The piano playing is good and loose in feel, but deserves better playing and I know you can do it. There is an emotion that comes in and out like huge dark waves, and the outro is really good, but fades too fast. I would rate this higher if done over, just the things i've mentioned. | |
| Ravi's Raga by inkubus4511 | 7 years ago |
| Culturally this piece is quite moving and speaks volumes about the way experimental music is adapting and changing. The mix is outstanding, and production exceptional for GB. The song itself is just damn good. I don't think I would want to hear a hip hop version of this, as that is getting to be trendy now, the whole Harlem-Bronx-India thing. All though trends are not a terrible thing, when individuals stand their ground and come from a place of subconscience spontineity. | |
| Why I Oughta!(EXPLICIT) by vorr | 7 years ago |
| This is a good cross section of the neuroses and disassociation we are experiencing in the modern age of man across the country. That's why I dig it. Art is always challenging and offending, and that is key. Kind of reminds me of Mr. Bungle at times. Cheers to staying up late and mutating our brains to see what comes about, in this case a great piece of social documentation from the new millenium. | |
| 00 Heaven by vorr | 7 years ago |
| The interesting thing about this vorr is that everything sounds out of key, but it works in a way, and seems after several listens it would only get better. The mix is great as usual, and I'm starting to realize you have a distinct sound to your mixes and end production, which is a good sign. Hey man, what happened to the end. You gotta fix that. | |
| Caterpillars & Alligators by vorr | 7 years ago |
| Brilliant stuff man. | |
| Rabbit Moon by Uber Knacht | 7 years ago |
| Vaporman, thank you for your comments and time. I will get back to the vocals and try my best to find some harmonies and do a reprise, as that is a good piece of advice. I really do appreciate your in depth review and now would like to give you 10 stars for you handle. | |
| Everything U Want by ryo | 7 years ago |
| This is just a great cover even if it's a cover. I usually hate covers. But this deserves attention. This is done sooooo much better than "here comes the sun", and you have a great voice. Harmonizing is tops. | |
| 3am Jam by themactech | 7 years ago |
| Ah? | |
| Here Comes The Sun by RicP | 7 years ago |
| This mix is terrible. And the song isn't played that well (okay, guitar playing is a better than I can do) . I guess it must be the power of doing a Beatle's (Harrison) song. The vocals are decent, but for a song that's so hummable and easily sung, I don't know man. I usually don't rate 1 or 2's but where's the justice in the amounts of listens, besides being a very well known cover? Do something about the drumming and bass playing at least... and the mix... This is an oppinion and fact mixed. You can figure which is which. | |
| Caterpillars & Alligators by vorr | 7 years ago |
| Hey vor, drop me a email @ exogenouscreatures@yahoo.com and we can talk from there about putting some stuff together. Later on. |

| Shout of Hatred by Candorwien | 7 years ago |
| Just one more time. This song... ah, I won't get started. Candorwien, if you go folk, that would not surprise me, and besides I like folk. I'll be listening. | |
| Disillussionmentitus by Blacklilyorchard | 7 years ago |
| Great song. The bass just gets me all wrong at certain parts. Otherwise it would have been a 5 star. It could use a little more diversity. Switch up the groove for a few measures maybe. | |
| Caterpillars & Alligators by vorr | 7 years ago |
| All your stuff deserves it's own download as a album on it's own. | |
| Cancerous Growth by vorr | 7 years ago |
| There's a fine thread of personality to your songs, and that is a good thing. I'm digging all. | |
| Tootsie roll by vorr | 7 years ago |
| Oh man, this is brillliant. Cheeky as hell. But the composition is great. Not so much creepy as just outright surreal intelligent humor. A great piece of pop music done on it's own terms. | |
| Waiting for Someday by vorr | 7 years ago |
| This is original and very visceral. That's why I like it. It's a download in my book. Looking to hear more. | |
| Rabbit Moon by Uber Knacht | 7 years ago |
| Inkubus, if you see whacky little green men while listening to this I am not responsible. lol. Thanks again. | |
| Bye Bye Blues (600 SongFlutes) by ssstebbe | 7 years ago |
| I like this, and I like the feeling. I like what you do with the kids, very admirable. It actually reminds me of something that might of come off Sandinista (The Clash) without the political content, just the social thing still intact with little ones united. I'm glad to know there are teachers out there that do stuff like this. | |
| Anyone_Else by studioarts | 7 years ago |
| Dear Prudence. That's what I hear in the opening Chord progression. You have a great voice and emotion and sustainability of character. Please get rid of that rhythm section or redo it, it destroys the song for me. Voice and Piano is just fine and classier. I'm being as honest as possible. You already had me from the start with just two instruments and your lyrics. I'm at least asking you to redo this with just those two things and send me a copy, it would be listened to much. I do want to hear more from you. I like your style all in all. | |
