Been a while since I heard this. I like this one. Steve always likes to leave my voice naked which always makes me cringe! Insecurities aside though I think it works in this its adds to the vulnerability to the song. Steve is a clever boy!

Feel The Beat by ClaireSimone 1 year ago

This is brilliant! You sing with such soul!
Love it.
You don't need this building up at all. Def. doesn't need a dance beat behind it, it's perfect the way it is!

I've gotta say I had nothing to do with this. I sang it line by line and followed Lu. It sounds really great! He's done a fantastic job.

Between Glass by AshleyBeanHead 1 year ago
5

Ok this is what I see... the fly is running out of time, it's not buzzing as loudly as it was...it's flickering it's wings but hasn't got much energy left.
You're frantically running around the room trying to get something to break the glass to set it free before you can it runs out of oxygen. THEN... it falls on it's back and it's dead. Looking at the dead fly you realise it was you all along and you are trapped in your own delusional nightmare. All the events that brought you to this room flash before your eyes. What did you do ? How did you get here? You set off towards the door, you're running but you can't reach the door handle to open it. As you run faster the wallpaper peels, pictures fall from the walls. Brick by brick the room falls away and what's left are the blinding rays of the summer sun reflecting from the sunflower heads of which you're running amongst. It's beautiful. You slow down to admire the view...You look to the sky, clouds slowly cover the sun, it's getting darker and suddenly you're back in the room. You blink a few times to regain focus and there you are, downtown in a rundown motel room, sitting on the edge of a ripped chair. You're distracted by a sound...buzzing? You look up and on the window is the fly. You slowly raise your hand and SPLAT!

This is also great. More my thing. Lovely weaving vocals. The whistle is a nice touch (loved winds of change)
Don't be sad - age is nothing. You've got nothing to worry about.

Achin To Be (Replacements) by Dylan 1 year ago
Hi Dylan great thing to come back to!
This is ace.. not Karaoke at all.
You've blossomed whilst I've been away and you were brilliant before!

You Make Me Want To Fly by zallaz 1 year ago
5

This is great. Lovely mood to this one! Nice piano.
Oh God just fallen in love. The vocals are orgasmic (can I say that on here?) Waiting with baited breath for the next harmonic "you make me want to fly" - Oh there it is!
Great jobs, so simple and yet so lovely.
Umbrella Song by zallaz 1 year ago

Great production... love your vocals you should use your own vocals more often!!!
Another great job!
Emily by rhonie 1 year ago

I have to agree - totally ready for the radio!
If ever I was going to believe a singer/narrator it's Rhonie....WOW!
Rhonie - your vocals are so seductive ( I would) and complemented by Dylan who is, as you know awesome! I like the positioning of the bvs too..
The guitars are great, what am I talking about, everything is great!
A very good collab!
Honestly Kev, you've got a great ability to conceptualize the perfect pop / rock tune!
Love the guitar in the left...very cool to copy the tune.
One question.....why did it fade? Why oh Why??????
Amanda
Great job all round! Couldn't have picked a better tune to come back to!

Casino Royale (JAMES BOND THEME) by amandachapman 1 year ago
Hi Everyone.
So sorry that I've been away! Just to update you, this wasn't the right kind of music for the new style James Bond. Having seen it. I totally agree. Thought I might revamp it a bit..
DRIVE! by FractalGarden 2 years ago
5

Firstly, let me say Congratulations fella's, this is really great! But you know that right?
I think its really perfect the way it is. I think vocals would be distracting... but then again maybe if Dave did them....
I love the chapters/segments, they flow and compliment each other perfectly. The synth is lovely but when the piano comes in you forget the pads and think WOW that's beautiful and then they come back and you're like " yeah man". As for the guitar. You know you rock don't you Jay? You really can make those guitars sing... Awesome and full of soul.
You all got this so right. It must feel wonderful to achieve what you set out to.
I really think this tune could go on and on, it could play into infinity and never get boring. Beautiful ending though. smiley

Atmospheric and wonderful! Powerful and emotional.

I think this is brilliant, it covers all the bases. Good for snowboarding, driving, crying, cleaning, plotting revenge, screaming, contemplation... I think its a real winner.
A great collaboration.

Trails In The Sky featuring Rhonie by zallaz 2 years ago

Another great colab indeed, you two really do make a great team.
I love Rhonda's voice, its got an ethereal quality to it and you know what I think of you Kev.
I'd like to hear something else..another instrument somewhere? Not sure what thought.
I like the sound that you both generate, its got a definite style to it.

Love Belongs to Us by Didier 2 years ago

Bloody Hell!!! This is fantantic, amazing, inspiring, unimaginable.
This has taken my breath away. An epic declaration. Super strings, vocals, guitar. Just brilliant!
The production is brilliant; its full.
This must have come from somewhere deeper... The other half of "US" is a very lucky half.

Be Undone by btransue 2 years ago

There's nothing crude about that guitar work. Its lovely. It's really lovely.
This is my favourite of your tunes... no surprise there though. It reminds me of David Bowie.
It funny really that we English singers take on an American accent and you sound like Mr B. LOL.. Love it though.
I also think the harmonies are nice too. Got to be honest i like it the way it is. Raw like Bob Dylan.

"Aaargh!! .... Good Lord!"
That was me jumping out of my seat as the resounding bass boom scared the living daylights out of me!! LOL!!

Love the flute. All of it actually.
I wouldn't say it was weird. Its very tunefull for a jazz piece. The production is ace. I'd like to hear a bit of pian, a few stabs every now and then maybe..

the journey out by j0j0 2 years ago

This is really very nice. Its ticks all the boxes; Toe-tapper. cry maker, significant ender, the song that makes you feel better when all is lost.
A complete contradiction of optimism and all things lost.

I also love the harmonica tickling.

Going Bowle-ing by pete 2 years ago
5

I think you're brave doing this knowing what a genius David Bowles is. And yet its a winner.
A more poppy, world music inspired piece, rather than the grand majesty of Bowles' work. I think it would benefit from some vocals, but what do I know??? I like the mixing pot of styles and genres - I particularly like the congas and bass.

The Fire in His Eye (ft DaveM) by Ignoramus 2 years ago

Moving beyond words. WOW!
Devestating and hard to listen to knowing the background.
As a song this is wonderful; the main riff is heart breaking, the guitar is sorrowful and strong.
As usual Dave gives me goosebumps.

2S2S5S-2-Lonely Otsu by DavidBowles 2 years ago
5

Its not a genre of music I am used to so I'm not one to critique - being an inadequate musician, well not even that.

But I just can't find any fault with this. The production is amazing, on all of the chapters in this story.
I'm starting to like the clpas a lot.

I would definitely pay to watch a performance of this, although the show can't be nearly as amazing as I imagine it.

2S2S5S-3-He is My Son by DavidBowles 2 years ago
5

Overwhelmed, your talent is awesome and this collection of works is by the far the most superior project on iComp.
The structure is free flowing and yet there's a surprise hidden around every corner.

I am completely seduced by its beauty.

2S2S5S-6-Water Sphere by DavidBowles 2 years ago

Whoa! This is totally inspirational. I think its amazing you took the time to give us the background too.
This is so lush and full. I can feel the drive and passion in this.

Its great!

Why is this piece so humbling? I feel like the spec in the universe that I am right now.

miss you more by amandachapman 2 years ago
Again Thankyou everyone for your well wishes, the same back out to everyone feeling this too...

It is intentional for the song to have an optimism about it; a celebration of his life if you were. So although the sentiment and the chords are melancholic no need for the song to be obvious.

Golden Girls (TV THEME COVER) by amandachapman 3 years ago
Cheers Guys! Gotta admit Diversion, did this cause I liked your Baywatch cover so much... Gonna do as many TV themes as I can! Just cause I enjoyed this so much. I did do all the backing music just wish I could really play the guitar (three chords on the acoustic don't count)! And....No I haven't got the dvd collection thank you very much!!! Though I have probably watched every episode in my lifetime! I'll try 'Different Strokes' if you like!! Amanda (P.S. too much gigging is making my voice a little rough round the edges at the mo!)

Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying by awaef 3 years ago

I was drawn to this by the title. Like the fizzy pop sound at the beginning. Infact I like this a lot. At times though, it feels like you've just chucked everything you've got at it. Some nice soft jazzy vocals would really compliment this tune. just one thing.... What happens if the sun catches you crying?
