| Endlessness -- shorter version by amorin | 1 month ago |

| hinder by navan | 1 month ago |
| Cool..enjoyed these sounds.. | |
| Happiness (AET) by becwil | 1 month ago |
| quite amazing stuff full of momentum and energy.. and joy of living...The happiness you're evoking here is that of a child unconstrained by rules I guess, it's kind of tribal.. music and production here are top notch! |
|
| London Calling (The Clash cover) by zallaz | 1 month ago |
| Great..your spoken delivery and I like the radio echo of your vocal in the other speaker.. Acoustic guitar nice and raw...you wouldn't want to overproduce a song like this! I saw the Clash once down here in Perth..unfortunately they were a bit jet lagged or something so not up to what they could be..big fan though, esp. of the London Calling album (one of the greatest albums of all time etc. etc.) |

| Peel me a grape by LaFayette | 1 month ago |
| Fantastic authentic performance..superb vocals and instrumentation..love the vibes and piano.. Sounds rich and deep even on my tinny iPad speakers.. |
|
| Femme Fatale by pharmakeus | 1 month ago |
| Yup, this is a good version...rich textures and lush! Good collab.. | |
| Basking in the sun [ SANPACHI ] by zarizarikun | 1 month ago |
| Haunting and sweet. Meditative. I am on a tranquil beach somewhere in S E Asia.. This is very nice work. What is a pianica? |
|
| Wedding Cake Island by surferjoe | 1 month ago |
| I don't know the song (randomly selected to listen because I liked the title) but I do like a lot of Midnight Oil. This is very nice and well played. The guitar playing is indeed very sweet. Sorry you have lost a friend. : ( | |
| And Then We Die by KennethLavrsen | 1 month ago |
| I enjoyed this a lot Kenneth...fantastic lyrics and you were absolutely right to sit them on a bouncy naive pop melody.. | |
| EspectacuLar by RetroTrend | 1 month ago |
| Lovely groove and mix. Amazing to be making music on a phone.. | |
| Heaven's bird [ SANPACHI ] by zarizarikun | 2 months ago |
| Very clean, tranquil. strong upfront bass anchor with sky high instrumental ambience. Nice work.. | |
| Museum Of Dreams by HalcyonMeter | 2 months ago |
| This is really pretty fine stuff..lovely melody, singing and guitar playing Not too schmaltzy..kind of naive psychedelia |
|
| Ghost Notes by jrahn | 8 months ago |
| Amazing work with choice loops..very polished flowing production! | |
| Ninox Rufa (rufous owl) by A1K3M1 | 8 months ago |
| Dig the flangey beats and the swishing spacious pads..very cosmic. Owls are truly wonderful creatures! Interesting enigmatic ending which made me think of Boards of Canada for some reason.. |
|
| Slane (Be Thou My Vision) by SteveScott | 8 months ago |
| Clean and beautifully crafted work. Great collaboration! | |
| Alive by Neumuzik | 8 months ago |
| Nice minor chord sequence composition..the triplet run took me by surprise ...and the organ and bossa nova (?) beat even more (in a pleasant way).. & the metal finale! |
|
| the garden by Mystified | 8 months ago |
| Your performance and the chord sequence open up an original, very creative vista. Again your lyric seems to seems to have flowered (excuse the pun) quite spontaneously from the music! |
|
| in transition by Mystified | 8 months ago |
| Your lyric and lovely singing seem perfect for Bryn's composition..this is a beautiful track- like a breath of fresh air or a light shower on a sunny morning.. | |
| FEEL FREE by OUTTHERE | 8 months ago |
| Excellent work..beautifully produced, really flows. Great singing and songwriting! |
|
| Macrocosmic Alchemy by TeuthisGalore | 8 months ago |
| intriguing.. My wife is using an electronic mixer in the kitchen which seems to blend in well.. Actually..some interesting sounds..you can just pick out the banjo, sort of like it's been left outside in the elements for several years.. Thanks |
|
| Constantly by Garshar1 | 10 months ago |
| This is very well put together..you are very talented! Good song which I would have thought would have commercial potential. I kind of like slightly distorted old things with static so I didn't notice any problem ; ) |
|
| Snake Charmer by LudwigVanBanjo | 10 months ago |
| Very cool indeed. Wonderful playing..complex, virtuoso stuff and very Indian | |
| Katherine by pharmakeus | 10 months ago |
| This is beautifully put together from the melancholic quiver in your (fine) baritone to the warm guitar tones to the tasty reverb and goddam fine production. Very expressive vox! Very impressive.. : ) | |
| Herald (v2) by Mungo | 10 months ago |
| Atmospheric. Interesting tones. Shiny dissonance. Makes me think of ancient empires...Rome perhaps.. Good! |
|
| Fantastic Voyage by particledots | 10 months ago |
| As if Eno originally wrote and recorded this song. Wonderful work. Fantastic cover..really nice vox multi-tracking Also reminded me again how incredible Bowie is (was?). |
|
| angelic by particledots | 1 year ago |
| Best Country music I've heard in a while. No country for old men though I guess.. Great stuff..I had to switch to the headphones because the kids were in earshot then I remembered it's nearly 2011 and they probably wouldn't even notice the lyrics.. |
|
| SunShine of My Dreams (Sketch) by Mungo | 1 year ago |
| crisp and fresh, stuttery beat,cool sounds; the opening melody is catchy and vaguely reminiscent of some tune (always a good sign for me) but the whole piece has a fresh, original feel.. Did I ever mention that I'm very impressed with your music? |
|
| Stella Quarta Decima (the fourteenth star) by A1K3M1 | 1 year ago |
| I like the tension you generate with this one. Good beats |
|
| * Oh Come All Ye Faithful by Matt Granz | 1 year ago |
| Well done Matt and Sarah! I must admit Matt I did think I was going to hear a raw, uptempo electric version of this.. but it was nice to hear another side! Hope you had a lovely Christmas, both of you.. |
|
| ADVENT:19 O Tannenbaum (punk) by ponkey | 1 year ago |
| It would be pretty punk to wake up on Boxing Day and realise you'd forgotten Christmas.. You obviously didn't though and thanks! |
|
| What The... by DanielLambert | 1 year ago |
| weaving, dreamlike with some lovely melodic textures.. This is really good, a treat! |
|
| Humus Aetherius (country rain) by A1K3M1 | 1 year ago |
| Hey I dig this quite a lot..all chopped up and fragmentary with arcane latin titles.. cool. from one Chris to another I might have to listen to more of your stuff.. |
|
| So this is Christmas (cover) by NenaSoul | 1 year ago |
| Just a fantastic song and one of the best Xmas songs ever written and your version is pretty fine! Well done and keep 'em coming | |
| Glow (DI) by becwil | 1 year ago |
| This is certainly restful and meditative with some lovely sound blending going on, although it does arch up into more progressive territory half way through (like walking up mountains- harder work but lovely views). Nice work... | |
| a Whiter Shade of Pale (cover) by randolf | 1 year ago |
| Many years ago I heard "A Whiter Shade of Pale" used at a wedding as the bridal couple left the church. This would have changed the whole complexion! Excellent work.. | |
| Led Zeppelin, Stairway To Heven Cover by Rodrish | 1 year ago |
| This is the song that many fledgling guitarists, including me, cut their teeth on ..so it's very familiar. This is pretty much note perfect..inc. the solo at the end. Bravo! |
|
| Suffocate by MurphyMusic | 1 year ago |
| Good songwriting..great rock voice n' guitars.. On my ipad sound quality wasn't bad.. |
|
| WAM-BOM by particledots | 1 year ago |
| The Easter Island statues have spoken... Very fine. | |
| I felt like an engineer by JimTheObscure | 1 year ago |
| @4arms Thanks Brent. I wish I had your facility for a cracking pop song. Actually the (midi) trumpet bit was the easiest part.. The verse is a little bit weak..Maybe the song should start with the end part and it should be repeated more often like a dance tune.. |
|
| crashing my car safely by APOD | 1 year ago |
| Way cool fellas You took the Berlin Bowie/Iggy/Eno trip and blissed it out |
|
| Deriro (to turn into another channel) by A1K3M1 | 1 year ago |
| Like the pic this one is sinuous and weaving ..and kind of insistent cool |
|
| Im In Trouble by Fredriksen | 1 year ago |
| Lovely guitars, nice melodys.. | |
| Maiden Flight by pharmakeus | 1 year ago |
| Fine solo geetar and synth textures/tabla rhythm.. nice jazzy excursions |
|
| Fate by Henno | 1 year ago |
| This is great..touch of late period Clash Agit funk rock Brilliant! |
|
| Retrobreeze by RetroTrend | 1 year ago |
| Like sipping on a cocktail in the bright lights..very pleasant.. | |
| dance or fall by eagle | 1 year ago |
| Fresh and airy joyful track..very danceable and beautifully produced. | |
| Twitter by Orfeus | 1 year ago |
| Has a majestic, elegiac quality.. Beautiful piece |
|
| Thallus (a green branch) by A1K3M1 | 1 year ago |
| Interesting and mysterious creature from a limited sonic pallette. Enjoyed .. |
|
| Speed my fall by PurePerversity | 1 year ago |
| Excellent..You are a great songwriter and singer and this is so well produced. Could easily be the work of an indie band with international renown in my opinion. Sorry it took me three yrs to find it! | |
| Love will Tear Us Apart Again by pharmakeus | 1 year ago |
| Sounds like a cracking live band.. quite a different and interesting take on the original.. great guitars and voice and (even without your extensive reference) loving attention to detail in the mix  |
|
| An Imperfect Landing by DanielLambert | 1 year ago |
| This is great..lots of movement, thumping beats and industrial synth sweeps.. Nice to hear another Ableton Live user too though you seem to be using it more for what it is designed for than me! |
|
| Blue Blend by kmmfoo | 1 year ago |
| Cool, relaxing melodies..like the sounds and feel.. Maybe I'd just try to decrease the peaks in volume a tad.. Cheers |
|
| A Matter of Time (v2) by Mungo | 1 year ago |
| No problems..actually I'm certainly no expert on 'metal machine music' but I appreciate this piece and all things experimental.. Actually I do rather find labeling and genres somewhat limiting! |
|
| A Matter of Time (v2) by Mungo | 1 year ago |
| I think I'd slot this one into the ambient genre. Ambient doesn't have to be pretty. You gotta love distortion though.. Thanks for uploading this one. The sparse drum beats up the ominous factor |
|
| particledots v/s ic42 (8 chords) by particledots | 1 year ago |
| I enjoyed the documentation almost as much as the music..actually a rather alluring and human piece.. Clearly chaps you have been listening to Brian Eno's ideas on creativity and will never run out of ideas. |
|
| I Love Onions! (cover) by randolf | 1 year ago |
| Great fun..well performed and produced..still don't enjoy chopping them though.. | |
| Orion Nebula by Narananda | 1 year ago |
| Terrific, terrifying, out there..big cosmic sound. Great! | |
| What Are You Like? by 4arms | 1 year ago |
| Excellent..sounds like classic Madness (the band). Very authentic..well produced, played and sung..Geezers!! | |
| Don't Lay This on Me by Tailisman | 1 year ago |
| Sounds pretty authentic to a city dude like me! Well done... Good voice and playing.. do some more! more alt-country? |
|
| Soldier Why by Tailisman | 1 year ago |
| I dig your expressive vox and the way that the chorus catches fire.. Good songwriting.. |
|
| Mountains of Heaven by pharmakeus | 1 year ago |
| Wild. Very creative meeting of exotic sounds. The drums grab you by the seat of the pants and you do feel like your in some high alien land.. | |
| Gethsemane by Rusticalia | 1 year ago |
| Like this a lot..sometimes recording in less than ideal conditions is inspiring.Demos can have a magic that is hard to reproduce! Nice mellow , wistful feel.. |
|
| Immigrant Song (Led Zeppelin Cover) by Nick_W | 1 year ago |
| Amazing..I didn't think this could be done but you pulled it off in style! Great Vox and metal sound | |
| By Your Side or When I'm By Your Side by 4arms | 1 year ago |
| What a gorgeous, uplifting tune..Fantastic vocals- the falsetto is largely great..It's got a Coldplay/Crowded House pure gold chord sequence vibe to it. One of your best I think! |
|
| Ode to Love by 4arms | 1 year ago |
| Hi Brent. Liked this one a lot. I'm a sucker for the muted organ..gives things a spiritual rather than funereal(!) feel. Affecting singing and lyrics with a nice touch of reverb . Elegiac. Beautifully done... | |
| Cheers Theme cover by randolf | 1 year ago |
| Silly and cool at the same time. Excellent. | |
| Dr Who theme by randolf | 1 year ago |
| Great. Have the cybermen finally won? | |
| Taking out the Thrash by DJ_JumBum | 1 year ago |
| I'm not usually a metal fan but this is a lot of fun and well mixed. Bravo! | |
| Perfect Disorder by Bapta | 1 year ago |
| Plenty of momentum. Solid tune and strong sound. Enjoyed- well done | |
| Atlantis (2007) by Smitty | 1 year ago |
| Especially like the drums and the push and pull, soft and louder feel of the guitar and bass. Enjoyed! | |
| Concealed Existence (DI) by becwil | 1 year ago |
| I like it. It does find a kind of sweetness and resolution towards the end. I am an erstwhile meditator and there's usually all kinds of weird noise in my head! | |
| now I know who you are by Caomhan | 2 years ago |
| Feels very authentic Enjoyed very much indeed from the cough onwards.. Good song Have to agree with Silky above More power to this stuff.. |
|
| Deep Inside by Foxglove | 2 years ago |
| Great sounding, polished rock.. Top notch musicians! |
|
| UNDER THE WHEELS by Barretok | 2 years ago |
| Amazing..so much in one song and all really explosive, bursting with musical power. I like the way the music is triumphant and joyous and the lyrics are dark.. | |
| The Shield of Achilles (HTB) by becwil | 2 years ago |
| Hi Bec...this music seems to evoke history, the passage of time, currents and connections between modern times and remote antiquity.. I am not saying this very well- maybe it's the unusual scales you use, the sense of the music going in several directions at once. Anyway I like it and have favourited accordingly. | |
| Only One (sketch) by Mungo | 2 years ago |
| Nice. Life in narrow, confined spaces | |
| Knell (Sketch) by Mungo | 2 years ago |
| I'm a little baffled by the song information..there's a limit to the size of the files we can upload, right? Actually the song info is pretty cool and feels like part of the whole piece..sort of an instillation It's a great piece of ambient music and it's captivating that somehow its complexity and bandwith takes so long to touch down in the player! Some kind of gargantuan alien craft |
|
| Maybe ( Ingrid Michaelson) by Rusticalia | 2 years ago |
| Don't know the song but it sounds good to these ears.. You have great timing, sensitive delivery! Good luck on your mission! |
|
| Gastown by dirigent | 2 years ago |
| I like the joyful, ensemble feel..especially like the little guitar solos which really jump out of the box | |
| do you really care by musickofall | 2 years ago |
| This a very interesting, original listen.. slightly sinister off-kilter jazz damn fine |
|

| Best Of You by Drugon_voice | 2 years ago |

| Generation Drug by MarvoHarx | 2 years ago |
 some very hot guitar here! excellent work.. |
|
| Where d'you hide the spliff ? by Dyl | 2 years ago |
| Top notch musicianship and you sure got that feeel man, THC assisted or not! | |
| away from here by bodanegra | 2 years ago |
| Good tune that gives you wings and takes you away.. There's a bit of "2 note" guitar in the middle and end which I particularly like. Happy dreaming and music making! |
|
| 6th Avenue Heartache (Wallflowers cover) by SteveScott | 2 years ago |
| Sounds like heaven, playing with friends at a beach house. You have got a really nice relaxed vibe here..like it..fine performances and uncomplicated, crystal clear mix | |
| Two Houses by fuzzynormal | 2 years ago |
| Good song and good playing..on my admittedly crap set of speakers the bass sounds kind of muddy...I think you'll get more punch and definition with the old roll off under 50 Hz. You might need to bring out higher frequencies on the vox too. | |
| ADVENT:15 Away in a Manger (punk) by ponkey | 2 years ago |
| This is great..I have visions of Johnny Rotten in the crib.. | |
| ADVENT:16 O Little Town of Bethlehem (punk) by ponkey | 2 years ago |
| This is a great series ..are they all around 30 seconds or less (xmas stocking size)? | |
| ADVENT:17 Joy to the World (punk) by ponkey | 2 years ago |
| short and sweet and a lot of fun..great Xmas spirit..put some safety pins in your stocking! P.S. My daughter likes it too. |
|
| Northeast by pharmakeus | 2 years ago |
| This is great boy's own adventure prog rock! Great stuff The vocals are top notch and I like the solid and relentless feel of the mesh of instruments.. |
|
| Night Native Nation by GaryLester | 2 years ago |

| Great sound down the pipe.. superior plumbing.. great! |
|
| someday by that80sboy | 2 years ago |
| Wow indeed...you have really captured that winsome breezy electro pop thing..new orderesque/ omd-ee too..lots of melody and tasteful synth garnishing. Quite brilliant. I am gushing.. | |
| The Boiling Down of Things by particledots | 2 years ago |
| This really gets down! Great work.. great art | |
