| Great percussion mix. Excellent use of sounds. If this doesn't make you move, you may have already died... | |
| The Weathergirl by thenownows | 2 months ago |
| The vocal track on this song is outstanding. The subject matter, the changes, the arrangement, it all works very, very well, but the singing is spectacular. Great job with this, Martin. I'm glad you pointed me here. |

| Move To The Light by ShadowofNine | 3 months ago |
| Really enjoyable listen. Great backing track, and killer lead playing. Thanks for this. | |
| Learning What I Already Know by futzpucker | 3 months ago |

| pale blue haiku by Justin_Case | 3 months ago |
 This is a great collaboration, and I hope the three of you very talented people create more music together. The interweaving of colors and textures in this wonderful piece were a pleasure to hear - more so on multiple listens. Thanks to all three artists. |

| Aleksandr by dirigent | 3 months ago |
Andreas, the scope of this work is so wide I feel unqualified to comment on it. This is simply amazing. You say so much with music - I am in awe of your talent. |

| Lazybones by dirigent | 3 months ago |
| What a great, fun thing to do with your daughter. I envy you this session. The song is cool, amusing, and very well done. But the connection must have been a great thrill for you... |
|
| The Rain Has Come by JayHagen | 3 months ago |
| This is a very enjoyable piece of music, very calming and soothing, but full of life at the same time. The backing tracks support to perfection. Sweet, sweet horn playing - as many have said, you played just enough. And a great mix. I really enjoyed this, Jay. Thanks very much for this beautiful song. |

| Confession by Marino_Experiment | 3 months ago |
| This song is so very well done. I love the sparse instrumentation - it helps emphasize the lyric, which is of great importance. The acoustic guitar's part is perfect, and is played with utmost skill. The synth line that replaced the flute is very effective. The pads are subtle and support the song nicely. Then there's the vocalist. Wow... She sang right to the song's heart. Having two daughters in college, the lyric is not hard to relate to, but your wife's voice would draw in any listener. She was able to express a range of emotions, and to do so with great technical skill. What a singer... Thank you for this great song from a great team. |

| Come eravamo (how we were) by fromano | 3 months ago |
| The sound of this song is spectacular. It's just beautifully produced. I love the instrumentation - all of it - and how it was used. Your arrangement chops are first rate. Like Mr. Vegetal, I especially like the guitar lines and the bass part, but there's *so* much to like in this engaging piece of music. Just a great song, done to perfection. Congratulazioni il mio amico (I hope I got that right). |

| Bed Farts by soulima | 3 months ago |
| I just think your orchestration ability is world-class, whether you're being light-hearted or dead serious. You are an amazing musician, John. |
|
| Learning What I Already Know by futzpucker | 3 months ago |
| Thank you, Geo and Mr. Vegetal. Much appreciated. |

| Forgiven by vegetal | 3 months ago |
Great sound, great groove, great arrangement, great message. I really like this song. I hope the CD is a complete smash. |
|
| Learning What I Already Know by futzpucker | 3 months ago |
| Thanks, John. But, then again, you knew I'd thank you... | |
| Appalachian Spring (with videoscore) by KissMeKate | 4 months ago |
| What a wonderful listen - the singing, the lyric, the track, its arrangement, the atmosphere, all these elements work so well together to transport us to the difficult and dangerous life of the miners and the all-too-often heartbreak of loss down there. The harmony is outstanding, of course. You did a beautiful job here, Kate. This is a really nice piece of music. Congratulations to both you and Tim, and thanks for giving us this song. |
|
| Whatcha Say? by RAVENS | 5 months ago |
| Apparently all of us here find this song sexy in the extreme. I know I do. Such a spectacularly effective collaboration... You two hit the mood as well as it can be hit. It's impossible to hear this song and not be moved by it, and in a *very* nice way (although "nice" really isn't the most accurate term here...). Whew... Great, great delivery. Thank you for this. |
|
| Scattering by letileti | 5 months ago |
| Very cool on many levels. I love the mood it sets. The vocals are very effective and sound great. | |
| Zoomorphisms - Wild Turkeys by soulima | 5 months ago |
| I am amazed that you can conjure images of animals in the mind of the listener using music. This, like your other work, just astounds me. You have such a gift... You are a remarkable composer and arranger, John. |
|
| Walk on Water by IbanezDude321 | 5 months ago |
| This is a beautiful piece of music. Nice use of restraint, allowing the song to speak for itself without burying it under overdubs. Very, very well done. |
|
| That Was Yesterday (A cappella cover) by KissMeKate | 5 months ago |
| Beautiful, heartfelt, soulful, bluesy... Great work, Kate. I really like your voice, and I am dazzled by how you used it here. |
|
| Hand In Hand (cover) by KissMeKate | 5 months ago |
| Kate, I enjoyed this very much, and I hope it's the first of many. Your beautiful voice seems to have a bit of a Celtic lilt to it; either that or you just hit the feeling of this song just right. More likely both are true... Flawless intonation and clarity. Very well done, Kate. And I want to go down on record as having recommended you take Kassia up on her offer. Her great composing and arranging plus your singing - I would be very interested in hearing a collaboration between the two of you. Congratulations on your very successful maiden voyage. |

|
| Exception To The Rule by Dylan | 7 months ago |
| Really like everything about this song. I'm a big fan of brushes, which are used very effectively here. The acoustic guitar tracks are very nice, and well-placed. The vocal delivery is perfect for the lyrics. The track you sang to is spectacular. Everything works... Thanks for this gem. | |
| My Demons by Choirbox | 7 months ago |
| The lead vocal on this song is very lovely, and the bg's are expertly done. Certainly you were given a beautiful track, but you took full advantage of it. Just beautiful singing. So glad I found this song... |
|
| Coffee (Mo Betta Mix2;-) by aaront | 7 months ago |
Had to listen to this four times in a row. Really sweet groove. Great vocals, nice synth tones, the guitars kick, the breaks are very effective, the drum track is excellent.... Sheesh. This is a sizzling, soulful, rockin' track that's a great pleasure to listen to. If you ever go back and activate the Download button, this will go on my iPod. -Patrick (futz) |
|
| The_Battle by Merlin | 7 months ago |
| Everything about this song is highly professional and polished. It took me on its journey, which I enjoyed immensely. I am in awe of the control you have of the weapons at your disposal. This piece is enthralling and compelling, and a complete success. I'm amazed by your skills. | |
| Journey To Mars by JayHagen | 7 months ago |
Really nice soloing here, Jay. Great pacing and control, effective use of octaves, nice tone (the subtle chorusing adds nicely), and the track you assembled to be your vehicle is dynamic and keeps the listener's interest. Really fine job all around on this song. |
|
| For Abbi, A Lullaby by kassia | 7 months ago |

|
| Epic Fantasy by ciheins | 7 months ago |
| I can't imagine what went into putting this piece together. This song is proof that composing using loops is an art form. This was a very enjoyable sixteen minutes for me, Chris. Congratulations on creating such a wonderful piece of music. |
|
| Too Long to Wait by DLB | 7 months ago |
This is a great track in every way. Great feel on the groove - bass and drums programmed expertly, and the guitar parts are crisp, very hip and very effective. The singing is spectacular as well. Great song. |
|
| Lux Aeterna by Justin_Case | 7 months ago |
| This is a spectacular, compelling, deeply moving piece of music. A great collaboration with astounding results. Congratulations to the three of you on this wonderful interpretation. | |
| Sierra Madre by futzpucker | 7 months ago |
| So glad you like it, Chris. Put it on criminally overlooked, if you think it appropriate, by all means. Thanks for listening. |
|
| Sierra Madre by futzpucker | 7 months ago |
| Thanks so much, Scotty. I appreciate your taking the time to listen and comment. I enjoyed chatting with you today as well. I have a feeling that a collab is in our future... | |
| Havin' Fun by edhara | 7 months ago |
| Three outstanding musicians... Great collab, everyone adding the gift of his talent. The result is a great song that goes right to my iPod. Great playing by all. |

| Funky Brown by kpenson | 7 months ago |
| Lovin' this funk, Mr. KP. Amazing. Great arrangement, serious playing. This is very impressive. | |
| Sierra Madre by futzpucker | 7 months ago |
| Such nice comments, Dave. You are an excellent composer and arranger - you will surprise yourself regarding how good you will get. I'm very moved by what you wrote here, Dave. Thank you very much. |
|
| Prairie Sky by ShadowofNine | 7 months ago |
| Dave, this is a beautiful piece of music. The arrangement is dynamic and very effective. The mix is clear and well balanced. The song builds nicely into its grandeur, befitting your description. Very, very well done all around. | |
| Sierra Madre by futzpucker | 7 months ago |
| Mr. Mungo, thanks so much for mentioning inspiration. I'm very glad you told me this. Gives me a great feeling. Much appreciated. | |
| Sierra Madre by futzpucker | 7 months ago |
| Ray, thank you for leaving a comment, which I am especially enjoying in light of having just heard a couple of your highly skilled pieces. The great things I've heard about your playing and composing are obviously true... Most of the sounds on this song came from Miroslav Philharmonik. The double-reeds and some cello doubling we done with Garritan Personal Orchestra, and the piano is from Ivory. The tools available to us these days are amazing. Thanks again, Ray. |
|
| Sierra Madre by futzpucker | 7 months ago |
| My friend, Karen... Thank you for your consistantly positive nature, which spills onto all of us who spend time with you. It is quite a gift, as is your astounding music. I'm very pleased you are as honored here as you are at MacJams. It's all well-deserved. Your fan, -Patrick |

| From The Ashes -06- "Never Say Goodbye" (007 mix) by Surak | 7 months ago |
| Listening to this song is like watching a movie. It is rife with imagery. Great sounds, driving beat. Excellent guitar solo. The mix is great. This is a huge success. | |
| Sierra Madre by futzpucker | 7 months ago |
| MissRedd, it was nice to meet you in chat this afternoon. For you to immediately go an listen to a song of mine and leave a comment was very gracious. Thank you. I enjoyed listening to one of yours as well. | |
| Sierra Madre by futzpucker | 7 months ago |
| Mr. Feenix - so nice to meet you. Thank you for leaving a comment for a stranger, which I consider a very welcoming gesture. I'm pleased you like the piece. I look forward to hearing songs out of your catalog. Thank you again. | |
| Sierra Madre by futzpucker | 7 months ago |
| Jeff, for you to comment without any previous contact between us is a generous gesture, for which I am grateful. I'm very glad you like the piece. Thank you. | |
| Sierra Madre by futzpucker | 7 months ago |
| Andreas, you are very kind to comment again here. Hearing from a musician of your calibre is a gift. Thank you. | |
| Sierra Madre by futzpucker | 7 months ago |
| John, I was hoping to hear from you, as I recognize that your orchestration chops are world-class. I'm pleased to know you found some things that worked. I am grateful for your comments, John. Thank you. |
|
| No More Blue Skies (Zallaz' Rainy Sunday Afternoon Mix) by MissRedd | 7 months ago |
This is a rockin' good tune, in which you seem to turn heartbreak into acceptance and a move forward. The track has great sounds and great energy. And the rawness of the song is a feature, not a bug. It works perfectly... |
|
| It Is Made Of Music by feenixx | 7 months ago |
| Very creative instrumentation for this engaging piece, feenix. Whereas I can hear your nod to the "German Frenchman", whose poetry inspired this, I hear a distinct Asian influence - the erhu, the gong, the rhythm... No matter what parts of the globe you looked to for inspiration, this is a fine piece of music. | |
| Yonder Comes the Blues by ziti | 1 year ago |
More excellence in blues from a master of the genre. Scott's contribution is huge - he is a very skilled and soulful player in his own right. The two of you together are downright dangerous. Great, great track. Congratulations. |
|
| Say what by hutchk | 1 year ago |
Very cool, well done in every way. I'd be very interested in knowing the specific software you use for composing and for your sounds. Downloaded, for which thank you. |
|
| God's Song by ziti | 1 year ago |
Your playing is typically very, very high level, and your singing here is at its most natural. You certainly captured the heart and soul of this great song. But, then, that's what you do in *every* song you post. Deepest bows to you, here, Mr. Ziti. I hope the nice members of this site realize they are listening to a master when they click on a Ziti song. |
|
| Patrick's Blues by ziti | 1 year ago |
Spectacular playing, as per usual, Fran. What a touch, what feeling, what soul... What a master. Having this song dedicated to me is an honor I do not deserve, but for which I am very grateful. Deepest bows to you, my brother. -Patrick |
|
| The Girl With Balloons In Her Hair by nealbowen | 2 years ago |
This is a wonderful piece of music that takes the listener on quite a journey. To honor your wife with this gift is a wonderful gesture, and on that level the song doesn't need to be great to still be a nice gift. But great it is, and you display serious talent here. Very enjoyable listen. Thank you. |
|
| Alive by jayman | 2 years ago |
The depth of feeling in this song is enhanced by your (perhaps innate) excellent decisions about the orchestration and arrangement. You must truly be proud of this beautiful song. |
|
| The Boarding Line by Baboon | 2 years ago |
The dynamics of your epic material keep the listener's interest peaked throughout. The skills of all involved are very evident. Highly creative, very well done... another radio-ready song. I'm very pleased to hear this high-level music on this site. |
|
| Salinity by jayman | 2 years ago |
This song belongs on the radio. Very skilled, very dynamic, very creative. What I would change about this song is not one single thing. It is able to wander all over the place without losing the least bit of cohesion. The arrangement is spectacular, and each artist contributed great skill. In short, wow... |
|
| black guitar silver harp (jamin w ponkey) by j0j0 | 2 years ago |
This is a treat to listen to. Wonderful voicings and changes in the guitar parts, and I love the expressiveness of the harp. Great job, you two. |
|
| A Song by jlgerk | 2 years ago |
This is a really nice tune, John. Nice laid-back feeling, great groove, sweet atmosphere... And topped off with a fine guitar track. Very nice work here. I'm glad I saw Mr. MediaDad talking about his enjoyment of it, which drew my attention here. Congratulations on this great track. |
|
| in the morning by macmusician | 2 years ago |
This is the last music I'll hear before I go to bed tonight, and I'll be smiling all the way there. Really fine feeling piece of music you've created here. You obviously know what you're doing - this shows style, taste, a great ear, and a hip sense of rhythm. Thanks for this song; thanks for my mood. I'll be back to listen again... |
|
| Keep On Running (remix plus) by Dadai | 2 years ago |
Nice harmony on this well-crafted song. Neil did a good job with the DOD part - as a result, the groove is solid all the way through, and all the instrumental and vocal parts stayed in the pocket, which I think is vital in a song like this. All the vocals came out great, too. I think this is the best work you've done by far, Jack. Congratulations. Great job. |
|
| Doing wrong by macmusician | 2 years ago |
Very nice production values on this song. Very atmospheric - this song creates its own unique mood. It moves nicely from one section to the next. Very sweet groove. Great job on this song. Everything is done just right... |
|
| I BELIEVE IN YOU by doddster73 | 2 years ago |
Very nice feeling to this piece. All the sounds you've used work together perfectly. Very well arranged, perfectly executed. Congratulations... Great work. |
|
| Losing My Mind by PowerMatt | 2 years ago |
This song really works. It's very effective. So much so that I may need a bit of therapy now that I've heard it... You build this well, the harmonies are nicely done, the guitars work well, every part works with every other part, so musically it's a success, besides just rocking, which it does. |
|
| Stay by RyanField | 2 years ago |
I like the fact that you changed the arrangement, which keeps the song from being stagnant. Nice vibe to the whole song. Good job. |
|
| Starting Yesterday by etgilles | 2 years ago |
This is a gorgeous track. You two have much to be proud of. The feeling, the flow, the execution, all just right. Everything sounds crystal clear. Congratulations, and thanks for this great song. |

| Way home by fromano | 2 years ago |
| The quality of the overall work here is very, very high, your state of mind notwithstanding. I am very moved by the concept that you, your wife, and your daughter all participated in the creation of this very enjoyable piece of music. Great arrangement, and that Italian heart, that comes through in all your music, is very present. Thank you for this song. |
|
| Sister moon by fromano | 2 years ago |
Fulvio, this is a beautiful song, performed with great heart. Too romantic? That's like saying a meal tastes too good... I'll bet your wife loves it. Thanks for this gift. |

| Teacher Chris, thank you for your nice comments, as always. I'm glad you liked the drums - I love working on the rhythm parts of songs. |
|
| Another Celtic Tune by ciheins | 2 years ago |
This is grand, Chris, very lovely, very authentic sounding. Great to hear you playing your violin on this track. I hope you take an idea like this, which works so well, and expand it so we can all enjoy a nice long journey with you. This is so well done... |
|
| Skin Games by Neumuzik | 2 years ago |
Really nice groove with nicely chilled sounds. Very cool. |
|
| Dreaming by GearHead | 2 years ago |
You've got a nice easy groove, lots of interesting sounds playing a variety of parts, all of which give the song richness, but without losing a consistancy, a home base, so to speak. Very creative, very well done. |
|
| Edge of Reason by ziti | 2 years ago |
| This is another gem from the two of you. Ein sets them up, and you hit them out of the park. Really nice work by the both of you, which is a surprise to no one, since you're both killer musicians. Great collaboration. | |

| A Different View by futzpucker | 2 years ago |
| Thank you to all the artists here who commented so generously about this song. I appreciate your having listened and taken the time to leave your thoughts. You have my gratitude. -Patrick (futz) |
|
| Sunny Beaches by zallaz | 2 years ago |
I'd say the combination of the three of you at work on this song was a complete success. The track cruises along with a light-hearted feel, the creative guitar work provides just the right edge and delivers nice texture which helps carry the listener's interest. On top of all that is a sweet, honest, vulnerable, natural vocal track that is utterly charming and disarming. My guess, Lisa, is that you'll not have many more moments in your life when hope will grow "duller than a butter knife..." Congratulations to all three participants in this killer pop tune. |
|
| The Walk Back Home by futzpucker | 2 years ago |
| I appreciate your kind comments, Mr. Danman. I'm very pleased you like the sound of this song. I'm grateful for your kindness. | |
| A Different View by futzpucker | 2 years ago |
| Your comments to me have been very generous, Mr. Danman. Thank you so much for giving my music such deep listens. It means a lot to me that you enjoy what I write. I know my music is not for everyone - I'm very pleased that you are able to stretch beyond your "comfort zone" to hear what I'm trying to do. Thank you, Mr. Danman. | |
| Heart Of The Desert by futzpucker | 2 years ago |
| Your comments are very appreciated, Mr. Danman. Showing up on your list of favorite artists is an honor. I'm very glad my music connects with you. | |
| Caribbean Moonlight (Revised) by jjbonney | 2 years ago |
Nice energy in this song. Skilled use of percussion. This song is successful at taking the listener where you intended. Congratulations. |
|
| Heart Of The Desert by futzpucker | 3 years ago |
| Mr. Didier, Thank you for the nice words. It's nice to hear you liked the feeling - I do concentrate on that quite a bit in the composing process. It's gratifying to hear it got through to you. Thank you. |
|
| Heart Of The Desert by futzpucker | 3 years ago |
| Mr. Dave M I'm very pleased you like the piano playing, since I see the piano as my main instrument, which wasn't always the case. I agree that pan pipes can kill a song - I'm glad you didn't perceive that having been done here. I'm glad you like the song. And at two seconds under four and a half minutes, your thinking the song is short is quite a nice compliment. Greatly appreciated, Dave. Thank you for listening and commenting. |
|
| Heart Of The Desert by futzpucker | 3 years ago |
| Mr. dstadther, You are correct - everything was done on a keyboard. I did pay particular attention to articulating the pan flutes with subtle use of pitch bend to make them sound natural. Thank you so much for noticing. I appreciate your listening so deeply, Dave, and for leaving a comment. Thank you. |
|
| Heart Of The Desert by futzpucker | 3 years ago |
| Mr. Vaporman, Thank you for listening. I'm glad you happened to come by. You're obviously very prolific and a strong presence at this site. Nice of you to leave a comment. I'm pleased you like this song. |

| Beethoven Jazz II (with ssstebbe) by LaFayette | 3 years ago |
Patrick, How enjoyable and challenging it must have been to "play along" with a great player like John. You did a very good job on both instruments. Congratulations. |
|
| Heart Of The Desert by futzpucker | 3 years ago |
| Patrick, it's always a pleasure to hear from you. You are very kind to me. I am very pleased you enjoy my style. Il est très agréable pour entendre cela. Merci beaucoup, en tant que toujours. Once again, I try to communicate using a little French, a language I do not speak at all... |
|
| Havin' Fun by scottydude | 3 years ago |
We all seem to agree here that you have serious skill on your instrument. I like the sound you get, your touch, your time, and the part you played. This bass part gives you permission to tag "dude" onto your name. |
|
| Heart Of The Desert by futzpucker | 3 years ago |
| I'm very pleased to hear you like the song, Scottydude. I'll be listening to your music as well. I appreciate your taking the time to listen and leave a comment. |
