| Hey Dan! | |
| Transient Stomp by jobu | 3 months ago |
| Thanks, guys! | |
| This is a Test by Naaji | 1 year ago |
| Nicely done. Real pro sound. Great hook. This...is a test. Its great how you know your voice and know how to treat it to make it sound it's best. Not like it needs much treating! Very much enjoyed. | |
| Burned by Rusticalia | 1 year ago |
| This is bangin. Very intimate and emotional. I loved it. I really liked your creaky and frail vocal delivery. It serves the song so well. Literally one of the best songs I've heard on icomp in a long time. Kudos on a job well done. | |
| And She Goes (The La La La Song) by 4arms | 1 year ago |

| Bad Day Parade by WillCharles | 1 year ago |
| Damn. I really like everything I've heard from you. | |
| Roses On The Road by WillCharles | 1 year ago |
| You have a real quality to your vocals thats instantly appealing and likable. Very tuneful. You got hits here man. | |
| She Feels Fine by WillCharles | 1 year ago |

| No Talkin' Anymore by Naaji | 1 year ago |
| Nicely constructed and well thought out. The performance was top-notch too. Great job overall. | |
| State Trooper (Boss on Boss) by BossHook | 1 year ago |

| How Many Times by bettyrace | 1 year ago |
| Very nice! Interesting melody and very pleasing chorus. Sung with passion. I really enjoyed this! | |
| Daddy by LunaBleu | 1 year ago |
| Wow...not like anything I've ever heard. Very delicate and sad. I really enjoyed this on many levels. This may be the only a cappella song I've ever heard that I'd definitely go back to. Kudos. Very emotional. | |
| I'm the Sea by LaFayette | 1 year ago |
| Nice job! Very pro sound and pleasing chord structure. Sonically, you really arrived at something here. | |
| the reason for leaving by frautschi | 1 year ago |
| Nice composition! I'm very impressed with this. Good woodwind sound. I normally don't really warm up to the renaissance-y feel of this recording, tbut the song and singing are very strong, so it definitely moved me to comment. Cheers! | |
| The END by Naaji | 1 year ago |
| Nice mood in this jam. I really dig it a lot! I get Siouxsie vs. Bjork. I'm quickly becoming a fan. You write really emotional and evocative lyrics. Thank you! | |
| You Make Me so MAD! by Naaji | 1 year ago |
| You're good. | |
| I Think I Could Love You by Naaji | 1 year ago |
| Really liked this one...Sort of Blondie meets Chili Peppers thing going on. Very enjoyable! | |
| When The Sun Comes Around by SteveScott | 1 year ago |
| Really enjoyed this. If I might add something constructively, it's that there might be too much vocal in the mix. Song-wise, it's very strong. Good chorus. I've been listening to your stuff and I like it a lot. Best of luck to you. | |
| Coming Home by SteveScott | 1 year ago |
| Nice job. An actual song! Very pleasing chorus. | |
| Perihelion by kassia | 1 year ago |
| Very very nice...soothing and medodic. I really appreciate that it ambient without just being a synthy mish-mash or sounds. Nice build. | |
| Teach Your Children by RMG_Music | 1 year ago |
| Very very impressive. Nicely done. Tight, innovative harmonies sung sweetly. Thanks! | |
| 6 years on iComp..Many Years, Many Friends....Just some Wood Muzak.. by woodguy32 | 1 year ago |
| Hey! Another old-schooler! We're all coming back at the same time...must mean something. I really liked this one a lot. Great production and soundscapes. That deep bass is killer! Good to see you're still around. | |
| Pen Killer by Blacklilyorchard | 1 year ago |
| Hey! Look who it is! Good to see another old-schooler here. Dug it. I like that the loops are YOURS. Very very cool sounds. | |
| Behind the Lies by cyberian | 1 year ago |
| Liked it from the first bar. Nice groove! There's something very British about it. That's not a bad thing. It's tuneful and very easy to listen to. It would be fairly easy to put a vocal on this. Nice job! The keys are great on here. | |
| Sunrise by MarcHumpert | 1 year ago |
| Very evocative. You do very nice work, my friend. | |
| Bulletz Suite (Videogame Soundtrack) by MarcHumpert | 1 year ago |
| Nicely put together! Sounds new and familiar at the same time. Not easy to do. | |
| You, Girl by Ausdude | 1 year ago |
| Great production! Very tuneful, but a little sterile for my taste. Best of luck with the album! | |
| anna by TRASHINME | 1 year ago |
| Something about this I like. Very honest. I like the daring chord structure and spare instrumentation. Nicely done. Sorry, I don't do stars, but I like it! | |
| You Can Always Go Back Home by jobu | 1 year ago |
| Miked both with my cheapo Blue Snowflake Mic. Everything else is poorly executed EQing and the fact that I'm fighting a cold. Maybe that gave my voice that little extra something! haha | |
| You Can Always Go Back Home by jobu | 1 year ago |
| What buzz? | |
| I Can See The Pines Are Dancing by thomyeoman | 2 years ago |
| Sounds great man! I liked it a lot. Great Beck-y sounds in the middle there. Nice singing too. | |
| Heaven Wont Have Me by DaveM | 2 years ago |
| Liked this a lot! Very clean production, soulful vocal and great lyrics. | |
| New Shoes by DanAnthony | 2 years ago |
| I might have something for this | |
| Don't Change Your Mind (Update) by jobu | 2 years ago |
| Good point Rust...fixed. | |
| Still a Man by jobu | 2 years ago |
| No...pappahood is great...it's work that's wearing me down a bit...can I get an AMEN! | |
| Lonely Lighthouse by jobu | 2 years ago |
| They have. This is just a simple lap steel though...Dusted off my old one and restrung it. I love it...Have a job interview tomorrow! | |
| Dozing Off by FrankJappa | 3 years ago |
| Do you realize this was the 100,000th song uploaded to icomp? | |
| You Cannot be Wrong if You're Doing What You Want by jobu | 3 years ago |
| I bought a Blue Snowflake. The Guitar Sound is great, but I had to EQ the hell out of it to get a decent vocal tone. I'm still playing with it. Suggestions? | |
| Can I Keep You by HayleyDeakin | 3 years ago |
| I just landed on you myself. I've been on here for years and I've never seen your stuff. Can't believe it! Great song. Well constructed and sung with passion. There's a lot of longing in your voice. You could probably have a hit with this song, my darling. | |
| Sheets of Rain by pete | 3 years ago |
| Great job. Very tender vocal. Perfectly atmospheric. Love that you stuck to the rain theme. Again, great job. | |
| Short Song about Something Yet to Be Determined by jobu | 3 years ago |
| Thanks, he's the primary reason I have no time to record anymore! | |
| Standing Right There by musika | 3 years ago |
| This is a vast improvement over "Cycle", even if it isn't perfect. You obviously have some talent, but your voice is where you lack a bit. It has an unusual tone and you're frequently out of tune. | |
| iWood by woodguy32 | 3 years ago |
| I like this a lot. Perfect for a film soundtrack. Completely succeeds in creating a sort of aftermath vibe. Like someone just experienced something so intense and this is the sound of life afterword, trying to regroup. Sounds pretentious, but it's true. Nice job. | |
| STOP by Dyl | 3 years ago |
| Really enjoyed the obvious effort put into this piece. Great performances all around by everyone. The vocal is very effective...totally reminds me of Leonard Cohen. Great instrumentation. Really really loved it. |
|
| Broadcast 5 by jobu | 4 years ago |
| Yeah, he's bad ass |
|
| Over The Wall by the_goat | 4 years ago |
| The Flaming Lips write instrumentals like yours. Good work. | |
| Turn To Stone by the_goat | 4 years ago |
| I have no problem with the quality of this recording. I actually kind of prefer it in a way to the slick, compressed BS we hear so much these days. Nice riff, nice vibe. A little repetative, but you develop it nicely by adding sounds and layers. I like that keyboard sound very much in the beginning. You're right, it's a nice meditation. You do get lost in it. I don't do stars, but this was very nice. | |
| She Brings The Sun Inside by pete | 4 years ago |
| Great, even stellar vocal performance. I agree with the Peter Gabriel comparisons. My only suggestion would be to have a tighter and more clearly-defined bass part. It sounds kind of muddied up a little. Maybe it's just my speakers. Love that acoustic...and out of nowhere in this dreamy song, a HARMONICA solo. I absolutely love ballsy stuff like that. After the fade out, the song leaves you feeling good. Nicely done. | |
| Moving Van by jobu | 4 years ago |
| By the way, I wrote and sang the verses and choruses and Shake wrote and sang the bridge and rocked the solo and harmony vox. |
|
| MYOT: my second wife by ponkey | 4 years ago |
| As weird as this is. I really really liked this. Beautiful, intimate and vulnerable verse. The frailty in your voice fits this so well. | |
| Chain Lightning by KCsGROOVE | 4 years ago |
| Nice! I agree with eagle on all counts. | |
| Funky dream by KCsGROOVE | 4 years ago |
| Nice. Sort of reminds me of Chain Lightning by Steely Dan. I can totally hear the Fagan in you. | |
| Amnesia by KCsGROOVE | 4 years ago |
| Really dig the vibe on this jam. Smokey...dirty. Sweet. | |
| I Break Twice by nadiestar | 4 years ago |
| A true diamond in the rough of icomp. Your voice is beautiful and unaffected. I liked this very much. I'll be listening to the rest of your stuff! | |
| safe by marky32 | 4 years ago |
| Nice! Good to hear a diamond in the rough. This sounds very cool! Love the harmonies and the drum entrance is smooth. This could be a top 40 hit my friend. | |
| Marie by jamesrjones | 5 years ago |
| Very very nice song. I think melody is something that's so often overlooked these days. You have it down! I think the sentiment of the lyrics is beautiful. I really appreciate what you did here. Could stand for a tiny re-mix (can't really hear the drums or harmony vocal, but that's nit-picking. This is very special work. | |
| Pancakes from Scratch by TurserTunes | 5 years ago |
| This might be a good one to work on. Like it a lot . | |
| My Tribute to James Brown by rickywaterman | 5 years ago |
| I liked it, but yeah it needs more bass. After all, we're talking about JB here! Don't tell everyone what parts of your song symbolize in the explanation. Let us figure it out. | |
| Angels with Watering Eyes by TurserTunes | 5 years ago |
| This is a cool jam. That solo is very un-turserish...and I dig it. Great tone in that riff man | |
| Use Me (Cover) by TurserTunes | 5 years ago |
 Great Job. It sounds pretty authentic man! Maybe a HAIR too slow, but all those little touches are there...the claps, that little rap at the end. Very well thought out. |
|
| Girl by TurserTunes | 5 years ago |
| what an odd comment | |
| Cleveland by thetruffulaseeds | 5 years ago |
| Sounds like The Cure and old U2 to me. That means I like it. | |
| Dream of Me/Scream of You by TurserTunes | 5 years ago |
| I really like this tune. Great vocal. Great Lyric. You sang it very well. I like the envelope filter on the guitar there in the middle and the chorus part/interlude is very nice. | |
| Here It Comes Again by TurserTunes | 5 years ago |
This rips! It's a bit overloaded on the kick and the overall level of the song is very LOUD. I'll come by sometime and make it sound a little more even. The tune is great and definitely ripe for wroking on in the band! Great tude! Normally, I'd say the vocal panning is weird, but it works here! It needs a change somewhere, but you already know that. |
|
| Don't Settle for Me by jobu | 5 years ago |
| I did |
|
| Fortunate enough by Shakethejinx | 5 years ago |
Sweet vocal! I love that chorus part...that really makes it for me. |
|
| Funky Lozenge Riff by jobu | 5 years ago |
| I know it's just a riff. That's right in the song description. Feel free to do something with it on icomp |
|
| Let's Stay Together by MimiNaja | 5 years ago |
A great cover! You're voice is amazing. I don't say that to just anyone. It's soulful, sexy, and under control. I really love what you did with song. It's one of the best songs ever written. The changes, as you know, are just great. Well done. |
|
| I Got Mine by MimiNaja | 5 years ago |
Very good. You have a great voice. This song could do with some nice harmonies, but it's got a great vibe and to tell you the truth, it's releasable just like this. I can tell you have wonderful talent. |
|
| Sunday by thetruffulaseeds | 5 years ago |
 I write about sunday mornings a lot too. It's a natural time to write and get creative. I really like the tune and the hook, but there's a little bit of push and pull beween your guitar/bass and the drum loop, especially at the beginning. You could use a little remix on the tune too. Take the guitar down a bit and bring the vocal up. Overall, this is a well put together song. Much more thought out than a lot of what's on icomp. Keep 'em coming. You might like a lot of my tunes. I tend to write a lot of acoustic, hooky songs too. |
|
| Wandering by calebhawkins | 5 years ago |
I love songs like this, that speak about being lost and real life. Well done. |
|
| Pickin' The Pieces by CoastalFreedom | 5 years ago |
Hey Coastal, I dig this man! It's got so much more soul than your midi pieces. It sounds refreshing and live and punchy. Good funky guitar sound. I like that you played around with the usual I-IV-V blues pattern and changed it up a bit. I like the breakdown in the middle. Nice job. Throw a vocal with some attitude on this and it'll be done! |
|
| three degrees of dissonance by Mystified | 5 years ago |
| Creepy, but very gutsy and well implemented. I love the improv spirit. Did you record both the piano and vocal tracks together? Composition professors would love this... | |
| 3 a.m. by defleppo | 5 years ago |
| Nice mood right from the top. Nice sounds. Good vocal! | |
| Jemistry by sonicdeviant | 5 years ago |
A little too vai-ish for me, in that it's almost goofily effected. That's never been my cup of tea, but you play like a mother! Good work! I like the structure. Very nice mood change in the middle...you're right...VERY Vai-ish. |
|
| Last Invitation by jobu | 5 years ago |
| Yeah, it sort of goes with the whole "trying to unlearn everything" vibe of the tune. | |
| Devils Cove by David Ross | 5 years ago |
This is fun! I liked it very much. Good layering of guitars. I think it would sound great with a vocal... |
|
| i am starting to suffercate by Lapskin | 5 years ago |
It gets pretty grating after the first few bars and just never stops. If you were going for relentlessness, then you succeeded, but I can't imagine this being truly enjoyable to too many people. Just being honest. |
|
| I know I'm not supposed to know everything that I know by dakdakdak | 5 years ago |
Hey man, it's me Jobu...I like this a lot. It sort of reminds me of the Flaming Lips for it's outright wrong-ness...heh. The vocal is the best part, even if you do sound like a brain-dead zombie. I'm going to listen to this dudes tunes to see what he sounds like. Keep up the good work. We gotta collaborate again. Neat Diseases is one of the most listened-to songs I have in my list. |
|
| Short Song About Samuel by jobu | 5 years ago |
| You're growing up before my eyes and I am with you all the time Can't imagine what it's like To not be able to find time You'll be a man before I know To you the world I will show Everything that you see The responsibility's on me.... Not the best lyrics I've ever written...but I sort of wrote them on the spot. Like the song... |
|
| FFB:01 The Generous Briton by ponkey | 5 years ago |
| It's the perfect length too...it's "jobu" length...heh | |
| FFB:01 The Generous Briton by ponkey | 5 years ago |
very nice...belongs on a movie soundtrack over the OPENING credits...It's sets a mood immediately. |
|
| Human Mattress by jobu | 5 years ago |
| I don't think I ever posted it before... | |
| Metal Grifter by jobu | 5 years ago |
| I played it effected. | |
| Same Small Boat by pandasdontdance | 5 years ago |
I liked it very much. Don't put yourself down. Sure it needs a fair amount of high-grade song polish (I just bought a big jar of it)...but this is very pleasant to listen to. You're voice is well suited to this kind of music. My star rating is just honesty, but I like what I hear |
|
| Short Song about Being a Loser (better vocal) by jobu | 5 years ago |
| Yep...mandolin | |
| The Amazing Beautiful Girl by RichardRinger | 5 years ago |
Very Flaming Lips-y...meaning great, but admittedly difficuly to listen to at times vocally. Very Very Very creative and ahead of it's time. |
|
| Bad Fonzie by RichardRinger | 5 years ago |
Not only a greatly bizarre and cool piece of work, but maybe the best title ever. |
|
| Hangover by Baboon | 5 years ago |
Dude, is that really you singing? You've got some voice! Somewhere between David Coverdale and Sebastian Bach. This is GREAT! I love the whole hair metal thing and the fact that you went with it and embraced it and based your performance on that is great. |
|
| Jaco's sky (never forget) by RANO | 5 years ago |
Jaco was truly one of a kind, and a real inspiration to me being a bass player. You got a pretty good tone there! Very reminiscent of Jaco's, and your playing is very solid. I really appreciate what you were going for here. |
|
| Short Song about Being a Loser (better vocal) by jobu | 5 years ago |
| Thanks everybody...and you're right fortunato. NO loops. This is one of those tunes that wrote itself. It doesn't happen often, but when it does, it's always special. | |
| 1ére Gymnopedie by ukkixi | 5 years ago |
Love this. This is beautiful. Sort of Flaming Lips meets Radiohead. This piece really sets a great mood and sticks with it. This could easily work in a movie soundtrack. |
|
| Peter Gunn Theme..I had to do it.. by woodguy32 | 5 years ago |
Loved it. My band just started doing this tune and I think it's so much fun. Really cool 80's vibe to this one...like when that guy Taco re-made "Puttin' on the Ritz" in a New Wave synth-y way. I just really dug the vibe and the effort. Well done. |
|
| Mars Attack by ponkey | 5 years ago |
Retro Surf Aliens...my favorite kind! |
|
| Wake by Danvox | 5 years ago |
Emotional vocal performace. I wouldn't exactly describe the song as mellow, it's actually pretty intense thanks to your vocal delivery in places. I like the changes and that cool little gutar refrain. This song would do well to find some drums and bass. I like it very much. So much better now that I can hear you singing! It would also sound great with some vocal harmonies maybe. But well done over all...keep em coming! |
|
| TV 10 News Theme by vaporman | 5 years ago |
The first 2 bars are in 5-4, the rest sounds like pretty straightforward 6-4 to me. There are 3 bars of 6-4 percussion only, then the end switches to 5-4 for the last...forever! |
|
| A Place Called Home by Narrowgate | 5 years ago |
Cool. Very Police-y. Nice job on the bass man...from one bass player to another. I like when it gets heavier...nice dynamics. |
|
| A Place Called Home (update) by jobu | 5 years ago |

|
| A Place Called Home by CoastalFreedom | 5 years ago |
This song is so good, I'm going to steal it, record a version that sounds nothing like it, and post it 5 months ago! |
