| Green Eyes by PowerMatt | 24 days ago |
| You really pull off the SUGARCOATED CONCRETE VOCALS bro! ...with a mean guitar solo that sounds like you've been touring for years. That Mick Ronson stuff you put way, way, way back in the left channel is fully 'rock/n/rollin' all the way home'. Nice mix. | |
| Be Thou My Vision by ddball | 1 month ago |
| Very 'human' sounding. Your 'struggle to sing' vocal style is cool. Nice! -borris |

| A Supreme Christmas by PowerMatt | 2 months ago |
| Never heard this one... Great idea and quite nice job pulling it all off. Sarah, your vocs are HOT! Nice job on the mix Mastermatt. Sounds extra groovy with the volume perched way up on top of a skyscraper too. | |

| RMG - I do smack down pretty hard when I play, but then again, the piano is a percussion instrument. Thanks everyone for the swell comments. cjacks for borris |

| Feelin' Alright (Traffic Cover) by Baboon | 4 months ago |
Baboon—whippin' crazy good vocals man. Took me back. Seriously sounds like early Steve Marriott (who by the way is my all time, all time, all time favorite singer of all time). The rest is a trip! Excellent arrangement, cool vocal parts, and superior overall sound. Dang, your voice...nice. Everyone really threw some righteous stuff into this one. Best collaboration I've heard in a long time. |

| Cartoon Betty v1 by Steve_Scott | 5 months ago |
| Hot song. Way cool intro. Haha. Yeah, I think I like this one the best. Nice backing vocs—great ending. |
|
| The Power of Grace by mkinnon | 6 months ago |
Nice composition. You really throw in some wild right hand stuff. I pictured a person thinking about all the things she/he had to do for the day. The middle part is cool too - gives the song a break that feels kind of mixed up and confused. That's what I pictured anyway. borris |
|
| Pighead by Neumuzik | 6 months ago |
| Radical! Foot tapping, head bopping, plus bongos? The cathedral break is trippy - I really like that part. -borrissssssssssssssssssss |
|
| Arctic Summer (Tundra Mix) by BorisLuxx | 6 months ago |
Sweet kick sound. I like your choices of various, changing Icepop synth sounds. Fun stuff going on - it kept my attention. My foot is still moving. Help! Hip stuff. -borris |
|
| Frankenstein [Cover +] by tonestones | 6 months ago |
Wild idea ...swinging Frank. Ha! 5 stars because all the categories were nailed. The part just before the drum solo is gnarly. So is the part right after. Really punctuates. I'd love to hear what you'd do with 'Bodhisattva'. Oh yeah. -borris |
|
| Something (Beatles Cover) by tonestones | 6 months ago |
| After just listening to your version of 'Revolution', I was ready for a anything here. But you've stuck to the original closely enough to make a real nice, mellow sounding cover. The vocals are excellent and the rest (not sure about the organ) is sweet. Interesting staccato adjustments on some of the lead guitar parts. -borris |
|
| Revolution (Beatles Cover) by tonestones | 6 months ago |
Very interesting take on this song. I'm with some of the others regarding horns, but the horn parts here are creatively written and, although a little large in the mix, seem worth including. I really like the string parts and the panned percussion. Extremely different from any other cover of Revolution I've ever heard...nice. -borris |

| What the heck?! Sheepers guys, this kicks all kinda stuff around the block and back over the fence, then up on the roof and freakin' down the chimney into the living room through the stereo and out in a big way right into my brain. Get my meaning? Absolutely GREAT! -missing in action |

| Sheepers, I felt like holding up my lighter and yelling "YEEAHHH!", but all I could find were some matches in my back pocket, so I just lit the whole pack up and held it up in the air, waiving it back and forth. I forgot to yell though ...until my freakin' hand hair caught on fire! Then I remembered real fast. Good scorchin' tune men. borris |

| Too Tan Car Moon by FishCow | 7 months ago |

Kind of a back alley in the late afternoon feel. At least that's what I got, and I dug it. Interesting production, great vocals, mighty fine guitar. borr |

| Earth Strikes Back by Neumuzik | 9 months ago |
| Listened to this off of an old mono Mac Tower speaker and it comes across nicely. I dig what you do with the different bass parts, especially the more dominant one. I also really like the quick fadeout. I'm big on fadeouts, but usually opt for long ones. I don't think I've ever even tried a short, quick one. Cool effect. Yeah, I get a sort of subtle, action scene feeling from this. Not too overbearing - just right. I think you would have a lot of fun, and do a great job with, soundtracks. For some reason, I have the impression that you've done a fair amount of video. ?? Do you use YOUR music much for backgrounds on any of them? I think, with your vast collection of compositions, you'd have a lot to choose from. By the way, where can we see video that you've done? -borris/cjacks |
|
| And Your Bird Can Sing by PowerMatt | 9 months ago |
Fully RIGHTEOUSLY executed men. Tambourine sounds absolutely prophetic (can a tambourine sound prophetic?). Seriously - really nice job and a lot of fun to listen to. Is that break/drum fill thing in the real song? I'm gonna have to check. I like it. It's always a joy to hear a Beatles cover here at iComp, and this one is so well done that it's a double j. more ...more ....more ...more ....more ...more!  |

| High Voltage Squid Helmet by FishCow | 9 months ago |
| Been stuck in a foreign prison. Just got back to THE SHED and this is the first thing I listened too. Good thing too, because I needed something nice to sort of ease me back into normal life. Thanks. I think I used a similar ending on my collab w/ Michael Bradley. |
|
| Why? by borris | 9 months ago |
| I just listened to this again and the recording sounds like ___________! I guess that could be good or really bad. Hmmmmm. Sounds pretty fuzzzed up and phazed out. Kind of a distortasound thing going on. ç'mon borris! Sheeeepers. | |
| With A Little Help From My Friends (Beatles Cover) by Beatle128 | 9 months ago |
Sweet job on this! 5 STARS for sure * * * * * And, yeah, you do sound a tad like the Ringmaster (if he sang a little bit better). Man, you really did a great copy/cover here. TheGranz (PowerMatt) and I did a couple of Beatles covers. It's a fun thing to do. Seems like you've got it down. I'll check out your other music as soon as I get off the freeway. -borris |

Loads of fun listening to this one. My feet were tapping and I was moving around in my chair. Lots of interesting, creative stuff going on. Nice. I love the snare sound on the ‘real sounding’ kit. |

Utterly freakin' fantastic. Great job. Backing vocs are awesome and the production is top notch. borris |
|
| Clash by Neumuzik | 1 year ago |
| You're such the eclectic composer. I dig where you're going these days. The panned synth and acoustic guitar doubling creates a great effect, and the heavier guitar kind of frosts the cake. Short and semi sweet. I never know what I'll hear - and I mean never, when I click on a new song of yours, and I have a feeling you get a lot of enjoyment from the process of putting your tunes together. | |
| Why? by borris | 1 year ago |
| Yeah, 48scooter, it's "Baby ahh oooh" from that song 'Lighting Striking Again'. I fully ripped it off didn't I. I just realized that. Thanks. | |
| Hand Over Fist by Neumuzik | 1 year ago |
| This is really nice. Lots of pretty stuff going on behind the cool guitars and synth bleeps. Nice use of strings too. | |
| Siren's Call by 48scooter | 1 year ago |
| I like the punch of the production. The second chord of the chorus is cool. Kind of takes me down to a relaxed spot. I got a little tired of the string sound though. I think alternating with and without (like the last part of the song) might help...just a thought. Your vocal recording is clean and you've definitely got a pro sounding voice. Thoughtful lyrics. Nice job. | |

| Headache by Dustwood | 1 year ago |
Some time you feel like a nut - sometimes you don't. This is extra nutty and punchy with an almost haphazard overall feeling in its veins. Big and noisy, just the way I like it. borris |
|
| Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band by jayman | 1 year ago |
...and the comments are so positive and, shall we say ...nice. I wonder what kind of comment Ringo might leave. PowerMatt, you should give him a call and ask him to give a listen.  |
|
| Please Please Please (Hold On) by Neumuzik | 1 year ago |
Killer rhythm tracks goin' on. Wow. I dig this groove. Very mysterious and delicious. borris |
|
| Boom Chick Boom by Neumuzik | 1 year ago |
There's a song by Metric where the singer sings a half step below the 'correct' note. You've done something like that here a few times and I like it. Quite a bold, yet subtle technique. And, the Revlon commercial ending hit the spot. borris |
|
| The Deciever (new improved) by Smileygeezer | 1 year ago |
You really hit the nail with these lyrics and the music is great. For me, the vocal is a little to loud in the mix. I'd like to hear the music punch through a little more. Of course, that's only an opinion, and sometimes I'm guilty of the opposite. Great writing man, keep it up. -borris |
|
| Why? by Naaji | 1 year ago |
Cool with a capital CHILL. The message is grabbing and the music is mysterious. Very nice vocal sound too. -borris |
|
| Don't Give Guns To Monkeys by FishCow | 1 year ago |
Futurishly hip. This is a trippy piece with so much cool stuff I had to shut my eyes. What a creative sound sculpture man. I really like it. That synth rif in the second half is super. There's so much going on but I think I would like to hear a little more of something on the low end. Mr. borris |
|
| The Seams by Neumuzik | 1 year ago |
Say, that's imaginative! I was tapping my foot the whole way through. Very nice mix of loops without sounding to much like only loops. Where's the tip jar? Creative, soundtrackish piece. -Mr. Borris |
|
| Everything Good Everything Bad by Naaji | 1 year ago |
| I like the way you kind of string your lyrics together - almost like you're speaking them. You've got a great voice with lots of emotion. The production on your voice is really cool too. So crisp and close. -borris |
|
| Goats head by Dustwood | 1 year ago |
| Not unlike the whole goathead thing, this song is fairly scary. The background choir/keyboards stuff really gives it an eerie feeling and the repetitive cymbal smash makes the whole thing really tense. Reminds me a little of pre fame Nirvana. -borris |

| New Day yesterday Jethro cover by Marino_Experiment | 1 year ago |
Unreal. Vocals and EVERYTHING ELSE totally kick. Crazy good. Production is right on too. Sheesh! -borris |
|
| I Want to be Like Jesus (for dancing) by Naaji | 1 year ago |
Good grief! This song is happening. "Difficult with all these difficult people" < that sounds so cool! Unreal. I love the whole thing. I especially like the way your vocals sound on this - kind of choppy with very slick production, and those clanking, organic percussion sounds mixed with the synths totally make it cook. You rock. -borris |
|
| Silent Hill Nurses Club Band by FishCow | 1 year ago |
Superior art music man. Full of texture, color, and thickness - like a walk through the Sonic Fun House at some futuristic carnival. Didn't know you knew my two friends in the picture. C'mon, you're really that cat down the hall from me aren't you. I knew it! [still trying to understand the bass line in 'Broke A Nail' - hmmmmm...] –borris |
|
| You Smell The Sound of Purple by Bob6stringer | 1 year ago |
| Quite different, as in unique and creative. This is really fun to listen to. Besides Star Spangled Banner, I heard the beginning of the ending of Hey Jude in there. Nice bass playing too. -borris |
|
| Skull Driller by Dustwood | 1 year ago |
Your description pulled me right in, and I'm glad it did. This sounds freakin' great up really loud in phones and those semi off notes are totally inspired. The whole song is exceptional - one of the best I've heard here in a long time. For me, this is a truly 5 star piece. The guitar tones have a cool 'real' sound and the synth/bass break is perfect. Any chance of adding vocs? -borris |
|
| Cover of behind blue eyes. by liquidghondi | 1 year ago |
Wow! Except for a few complaints I have, this is really, really good. Your voice is righteous man. The backing vocs sound great too. I especially dig the high 'Kansas' style thing you did right before the break. What did you do for drums? If those are loops, you must have got the Keith Moon pack or something - 'cause they're hot, and your guitar tones and playing are totally right on. That clipping and cutting out really takes away though. What caused that? Also, I think your main vocal would sound a lot better in the mix if it wasn't completely panned to the left. That stuff said, you really did a nice job recording the individual instruments and vocals, and the middle part just kicks. I'm going to be checking out your other music. -borris |
|
| F to the G by Neumuzik | 1 year ago |
I think I hear Bono's voice on this one - or I could hear it. Simple, yet not. I guess I'll have to hear it a few more times to figure that out. Very 'listenable', and to me that's a really cool thing. -borris |
|
| Sugarneck by Neumuzik | 1 year ago |
I really like the bass line, and of course, the sped up weirdness and the shock ending. Really cool piece. And you did it on a what with what? Must be a cool app because this tune kicks. -borris |
|
| Jet Airliner by jasonbogen | 1 year ago |
Freakin' right on! This is super great. You've got the hot vocal thing goin' on and, except for the missing chords, this is totally righteous. Lotsa feeling. Great production too. -borris |
|
| iCV by jl | 1 year ago |
| Wow! Sweet music. Very nice stuff man. Super guitar tones—perfect for the piece. That subtle synth lead really adds too. borris |
|
| Furry Fury by padowan_learner | 1 year ago |
| 'Monitoring' is a tricky business, but in my headset, this sounds like a pretty good mix. I like that you used the Eastern sounds to add flavor and meaning. I bet this sounds great behind the action. Cool piece. borris |
|
| Tiny Heart Attacks by Neumuzik | 1 year ago |
Well, you know what I think about horn lines. That said [again and again], you DO have some nice long horn 'chords' that sound really smooth. Also, very interesting use of the basses. That super low thing is sweet. When the beat double times, the bass lines start to cook. In fact, I like that whole last half the best. I will say though that the melody line synth thing sounds a little too eerie or something and could have been more interesting - 'course, that's just me right? borris |
|
| Melt In Your Mouth by Neumuzik | 1 year ago |
You've been quite busy lately. Sounds like you're having a great time being creative. This one is nice and seems like it would be good for a soundtrack behind some kind of voice over. I like the two distinct pieces and the way they fit together. < [hey, put that out] borris |
|
| Pillars of Eden (Right Between the Eyes) by Baboon | 1 year ago |
| Listened again this morning. I really like the lyrics but I think I need you to explain them to me. The music behind the spoken part is so pretty and, I think, really finishes off the song. borris |
|
| Wiseguy by Neumuzik | 1 year ago |
| Kinda sounds like the basic tracks for a new Archies hit. Not a bad sound either. Smile, borris |
|
| The Bad, The Good and The Beautiful by Neumuzik | 1 year ago |
I really like this one. Very musical. Cool woodblock break in there too. I love the second half. The whistle totally makes it. borris |
|
| Sturm und Drang by Neumuzik | 1 year ago |
Nice use of the Monster Truck family of loops. Really works to recreate that feeling of disturbance and disorder. I like what you did near the end with the (very faint) string line against the guitar. And, of course, THE ENDING is perfect. borris |
|
| Standards & Measures by Neumuzik | 1 year ago |
| I don't know exactly how to put this, but it sounds like you're playing some of the instruments in slightly different keys, or possibly in minor and major keys. Hard to say. Something weird like that though. Hmmmm. Still, I kind of like it. There's a happy / mentally unstable thing going on that's hard to pinpoint. I feel like if the song were a person, that person would have a confused look on his face and people walking in the opposite direction would have concerned looks on their faces. For a minute there I thought I saw myself in the mirror. -borris |
|
| A Good Heart by etgilles | 1 year ago |
| You've got such a unique voice. It flows really well with the acoustic guitar in this song and is so full of feeling. Nice job. -borris |
|
| Michelle(Beatles cover) by grathy | 1 year ago |
| Great backing vocals and super clean instrumentation. Your voice has a real nice relaxed feeling to it. I can almost 'tell' that you enjoy singing. Somehow that comes through. -borris |

Whippin' scary sounding and gnarly! This is well done. Nice production, totally great drums, cool speed change, and perfect backing vocs. You've got it going on dude. -borris |
|
| Pillars of Eden (Right Between the Eyes) by Baboon | 1 year ago |
| My good men. This is outrageous, simply outrageous...or awesome possibly. Ah yes. Awesome. That's it. What's up with the supreme production and killer vocals and guitars? Man alive guys, the sound is top drawer. BLEW ME AWAY! Bhorris |
|
| oldtuneedit by irok | 1 year ago |
I'd love to hear you do some vocals on this one. You've got a nice style and a good feel for song structure - or maybe I should say groove structure. Nice overall mix. -borris |
|
| Synthia2 by irok | 1 year ago |
Nice soundscape. I like the way this kind of just rolls along - edgy and relaxed at the same time. It's like the music isn't worried about trying too hard but just wants to exist and groove. Cool stuff man. . [I love the title too]. -borris |
|
| Touchy-Feely by Neumuzik | 1 year ago |
Very, very nice. Totally 'different' sounding - not only from a lot of your other music, but on its own. You really constructed something cool here. Did you do a lot with the loops, because this sounds quite un-loop-only-ified? Right on! borris |
|

|
| I Left The Microphone On by FishCow | 1 year ago |
Eclectic and electric - plus, pro sounding production. This baby's full of tons of groovocity and hipness. Hilarious concept too. It's always great when someone puts their lips right on the mic and says...well you know. Nice addition to the original take. borris |
|
| A Synthful Proposal by deputydoofy | 1 year ago |
| Yo Dep, I like this a lot. It's got a great beat—cool drum parts, and lot of happy sounding energy dancing around throughout. My two synths worth: It came to mind that I'd love to hear a 'real' bass part on this. Just a thought, and in fact, I guess it doesn't really need it. Nice work bro. borris |
|
| Wide Open Spaces by Neumuzik | 1 year ago |

| Floor Polish by FishCow | 1 year ago |
Quite the happy go lucky conglomeration. Sounds like you cleaned your room and threw all the shoes you used to wear into separate tracks in Logic, then added a few chocolate popsicles and an old clock radio. No wait... I think I hear something like an SE30 falling down a pipe into some kind of bin for used turpentine. Yeah that's it. Plus there's that obvious sheen you must have got from rubbing two tires together until they caught fire and melted into an Apple TV ad turned up to 12 on an old set being towed behind a Corvair while the driver was reading something by Ayn Rand. Furniture polish? Of course I drink it. Huh? |
|
| Hardboiled Eggs and Vodka by blundervan | 1 year ago |
| Hey, Just got a new pair of good headphones so I turned the volume all the way up and punched the arrow on this song. ...OH YEAH!. Superb stuff. Nice drums, guitar splats, and of course, lyrics. I also dig the extreme radio static sound. Lots of nifty stuff goin' on here to keep it interesting. Comes across just a tad odd too, (by the way). Perfect for my iPod alarm clock / late morning wake up, and probably pretty dang good for bugging the neighbors too, but I'll have to loose the headset for that. Should be fun. Thanks, -borrisimo |

| Remon Tree by DESTmusic | 1 year ago |
| Different and maybe even a bit odd. I like it but I'm not sure why. Could be the casual attitude you convey in this version or possibly just that it's entertaining. Actually, the music is pretty cool. I'll have to come back to this one and see how it hits me next time. borris |
