 Interesting idea, but you could tell this story with about 1/2 of the lyrics which are too long and labored. Also, focus on the refining the melody... the music itself. |

| Enceladus Encounter by feenixx | 2 years ago |
| This is really GREAT... in it's mix of traditional instrumental sounds and phrasing-- bending and morphing them into the surreal sounds of space. Thanks! |
|
| Small Small World Video by 8MonthMalfunction | 2 years ago |
| Great Song- I dig it. Love the vocals and guitars. Almost gospel like with the lyrics and story line. Thx JM |
|
| The Carnival Starts Today (Video) by 8MonthMalfunction | 2 years ago |
| I liked it. First I thought I was in CT. then on Martha's Vineyard, then I realized I was in England or Whales. You have another fan,,, but where was I? JM |
|
| Psycho Killer - Live in Washington DC by TheBananaConvention | 2 years ago |
| Very good performance... but couldn't hear the vocals on the chorus. | |

| hope this music heals | |
| Beach Music (Rejected 2) by Eclypse | 4 years ago |
| Yes very dark indeed. I like all the ambient stuff. I think it needs some more variety though. Does seem more like a work in progress. No rating necessary. |
|
| The Fox (mixed with Logic) by calebhawkins | 4 years ago |
 Wonderful clear guitar and vocals as usual, Caleb. The very first version I ever heard of this song was on a Smothers Brothers record from around 1966. Tommy Smothers butchered it into something ridiculously hilrious... so it's nice to hear an authentic rendering that does the original folk tune justice. I like it. |
|
| how much would it take??........ by j0j0 | 4 years ago |
| A reall fine alt / country number. your songwriting is supurb... love it!!!! |
|
| Lost and Found by j0j0 | 4 years ago |
| Great. Solid concept and wonderful harmonies. Why did you drop them from the second chorus? Just curious. JM |
|
| the journey out by j0j0 | 4 years ago |
| I like it. Glad I found you here on iComp. I'll take a listen to some of your other stuff. |
|
| Achin To Be (Replacements) by Dyl | 4 years ago |
| Hey Dylan- This is a great tune! I'm straining to hear the vocals (and lyrics) however... at least on my system. Might want to bring them up a bit and/or the instruments down Johnmoore |
|
| Everything Sucks by borris | 4 years ago |
| Downloaded before 5 secs into the song... called to a meeting with a sucky customer... didn't get to hear the end... that sucked. can't wait for the upcoming root canal... that sucks. In fact the only thing that doesn't suck right now is iComp where you can vent with stuff like this... thanks boris... no need for rating...you get 5 STARS. |
|
| Ophelia by Matt Granz | 4 years ago |
| At first I thought it was a cover of The Band tune of the same name... In any case I like it a lot... simple yet catchy country chords. Excellent guitars! |
|
| Dreams ( cover ) by ClaireSimone | 4 years ago |
| never really liked this song all that much... but you make it into a real fine jazz piece... never woulda thought this be so cool... a very original take! |
|
| Warm Summer Rain by Matt Granz | 4 years ago |
| I REALLY like this song.... Liverpool sound and all, but thru a new voice. thanks... |
|
| Asmarandana (Love Song) by imadesentana | 4 years ago |
This is lovely and exotic at the same time, Made. Thanks for sharing it and the story behind it. I'll have a listen to your other compositions as well. This is why I love iComp! |
|

| I dig it. JM |
|
| vitamin by theDRP | 4 years ago |
Although I thought I'd listened to all of your comps, I must have missed this one. Glad I visted your page again. This is stunning! |
|
| What? by GumboStu | 4 years ago |
| Nicely blended instruments... backing a lazy voice... asking a profound question. Nice juxtaposition of disparate sounds! Listen more than once to really appreciate this one. Downloaded. Thanks! |

| Light Up the Fire by 4arms | 4 years ago |
| Hi Brent- I've been away for a while and am just checking in with your latest. Somehow you manage a mix of nostalgia and zen... how original! JM |
|
| Take this car for instance by TeddyC | 4 years ago |
| I really like this one... very California.. would also make a great surf video Us old guys love the retro stuff! JM |
|
| Mesa by Dyl | 4 years ago |
| Dylan- I like just about everything you do and this song is no exception. It's fully of mystery and imagery. I'll listen to it closely while doing mindless tasks at work. Thanks J |
|
| Blue Things by Dyl | 4 years ago |
| I'M BECOMING SUCH A FAN OF YOURS MY FRIEND. YOUR MUSIC MAKES THE WORKDAY EASIER! |
|
| Looking at the World Through A Windshield (redux) by aheurich | 5 years ago |
| Love it live... Feel like I'm in some dingy smoke-filled, stone walled joint where the music is down stairs and always loud. | |
| I Need You by etgilles | 5 years ago |
| I'm really glad you left a comment on one of my songs, otherwise I wouldn't have discovered your music. This is a beautiful piece... heartfelt and full of meaning. Thanks- PS I wouldn't put it in the pop category though just because it's an Eurythmics song... your interpretation is totally new. J |
|
| My Daddy's Eyes v2 by GumboStu | 5 years ago |
| Excellent! There was absolutely no need to rerecord, so I'm glad to just remixed. The vocal comes through, loud , clear and true | |
| Song For A Deck Hand's Daughter by Dyl | 5 years ago |
Beautiful. Would love to hear this in French... no kidding. |
|
| Peace in the Valley Once Again (solo) by aheurich | 5 years ago |
Wow this is great- 'simply' haunting. The stripping down and processing really works- allows the listener to hear and appreciate the meaning of the lyrics. i commend you for not giving up after the original recording as well for taking a risk. |
|
| T.R.A.N.C.E. by RichardClairemont | 5 years ago |
Since you commeted on my bluegrass tune, someting totally out of your genre- I thought I would step out of mine and listen to some T.R.A.N.C.E. elctronica... And hey... this is very cool, very european and of course very Boston. Ride the T to Kenmore, the Rat is gone but Avalon still lives! Regards- J |
|
| Soldiers Joy (vintage mix) by calebhawkins | 5 years ago |
You sure succeeded, Caleb. My older brother used to paly this song many years ago. This rendition brings me back there. Thanks J |
|
| My Daddy's Eyes by GumboStu | 5 years ago |
| I agree with Woofer3, bring the vocal up. The words are too meaningful not to hear them properly. Remix please! | |
| The Sad Milkman by aheurich | 5 years ago |
| Your live stuff is always so good, so true. Feel like I'm in the same room. Has a kind of Cajun keel to boot. Whos on the mandolin? |
|
| Intuo by macspudster | 5 years ago |
| all original and very nice... would love to hear more | |
| Trying to find China Cat by pete | 5 years ago |
This sounds like it was a whole lotta fun. Nostalgic, yet new (and pretty complex) at the same time. If I may make a suggestion, it needs a really rockin drum track... (in addition to the percussion already recorded) Nice work! |
|
| Let There Be Light by Balok | 5 years ago |
Beautiful. Love the synth undertone and the simplicity of the piano. This is not an 'attempt' but rather a comlete piece. Nice work, Thanks! |
|
| Photoshop Guru by johnmoore | 5 years ago |
| Thanks Balok- that crackly sound is a result of my less than ideal production studio! J |
|
| Whiskey On The Rocks (piano and voice) by TessCrazy | 5 years ago |
| I'm a big fan and this is a wonderful duo. | |
| Pretty Blue Things by TessCrazy | 5 years ago |
| Tess- You are a fine songwriter and singer- I've really been into listening to your lyrics. Regading the chrorus part (since you said yourself you are not that happy with it). I'd suggest that you recruit another voice to sing with you on a regular basis- If only to provide some contrast- to your vocal which is already quite nice. I know I get tired of hearing my own voice double tracked or in harmony. Thanks for these compositions. J |
|
| Universums Sång by brnPetra | 5 years ago |
| Haunting... Beautiful. Would you mind responding with a few of the lines translated into English? Thank you so much. |
|
| Lust by Dyl | 5 years ago |
| Always a surprise with your stuff. Getting togther with KD and woofer really jazzes this one up. Love that piano. A great story and great music! Thanks J |
|
| you can... by j0j0 | 5 years ago |
ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!! Such diversity with the intruments... who says a synth won't work in a country tune?... and just great lyrics too. I hardly ever rate songs on I comp but I can't resist this one. 5 stars all the way! |
|
| Jimmy Brown by calebhawkins | 5 years ago |
| Just terrific, Caleb! Did you sell newspapers as a kid?! |
|
| What Do I Know? (Where's the sunshine?) by nickblake | 5 years ago |
| Yes really Lennon-like... I mean, wheres the sunshine? Took the last tab back in the sixties! How nostalgic! |
|
| What do I Know? by 4arms | 5 years ago |
| Another winner. Thank you sooo much! | |
| Eucalyptus by 4arms | 5 years ago |
| Nice. I've got some lyrics and intend to give it a shot. | |
| Tower of Song (live in rehearsal) by aheurich | 5 years ago |
| As usual those guitars are awesome... and this is impressive work for a rehearsal take. Wonder what Leonard would think! But wait...What if... you slowed it down a bit?... allowing the listener to ponder the lyrics? For me Leonard's songs are so effecticve because of their slower pace. Not that you should imitate LC, but just give the words (and that baratone voice singing those words) time to sink in and permeate the room in a more reflective way. One of the best parts of this version of the song for example, is the very end when you tone it down to really allow that synthesizer in. Taking some time with the words as well might lend this song some new meaning. PS I heard LC is recording again... or was that Cat Stevens? |
|
| Call of the Wreckin' Ball (live in rehearsal) by aheurich | 5 years ago |
| Lots of great energy guys! Terrific ending... Let me know if/when you add bass and drums. |
|
| just that look in your eye by j0j0 | 5 years ago |
| This is cool. Pretty complex arrangements but worth all the work, I'm sure. WHO is on that guitar?!!! |
|
| Mermaid by ledebutant | 5 years ago |
| Very dirfferent. Very original... on the edge. | |
| Wild Bill Jones by calebhawkins | 5 years ago |
| Yeah I've been listening to these ballads too. They got heart they got soul. | |
| blind dog by groaninboy | 5 years ago |
| This is soooo sad!... that it's funny. | |
| She's Solid Gone by calebhawkins | 5 years ago |
| No frills, here,... It's simple, concise, clean, clear, honest, and full of heart. This is songwriting and performance at it's best. You don't need to do anything else to it! johnmoore |
|
| west coast lament (the van is coming now) by theDRP | 5 years ago |
I'm a big fan of yours having really liked 'edifice' and 'amber medicine'... just great concepts and lyrics. This one's cool too. I am pretty choosy with the stuff I download, but I would like to add this to my collection of truly original songs. Thanks- J |
|
| I Am Today by Lbarringer | 5 years ago |
| Nice stuff. Great vocals along with a 'vintage' sound. | |
| The Time In Between by Deiter | 5 years ago |
 I like it....yeah like across the universe... I would really like to be able to hear the lyrics/voice more clearly. Consider remixing and pumping up the vocal tracks |
|
| Seventh Grade by dunnieboy | 5 years ago |
| Have you guys played this live?...at a gig?... or better yet for your class?! I played it for my 4th grader and he thought all of the excuses were perfectly valid... couldn't understnad why I thought it was so funny. Anyways it sure is a catchy tune. Regards- J Moore |
|
| Ice Age by aheurich | 5 years ago |
| Sounds like you had loads of fun with this one, Armin. Nice job with those 4 guitar tracks; must of been a real challenge to mix! I think my son will like it as much as I do. Gotta make sure he gets he on his iPod too... | |
| The Spanish Bar & Grill Incident by Dyl | 5 years ago |
| A nice, moody storyline Dylan,,, with a terrific abstract montage of voices and music... a kind of ambient instrumental. I like it |
|
| That's Why I Wear Black by Dyl | 5 years ago |
Realy enjoying this one, Dylan. Sometimes going back to old material and giving it a new voice can work wonders. Can you post a version with just the snare track? (jsut kidding) |
|
| Guitar Song by zloppy | 5 years ago |
| This is real nice. You play with heart. | |
| King for a Day by Matt Granz | 5 years ago |
| You really nailed this one as a country spoof, Matt. and I really like that guitar solo.., The funny part is that this guy is by no means heartbroken but actually relieved that she up and left him... did she take his motorcycle too? |
|
| Heroine by Citizencal2 | 5 years ago |
| This is terrific stuff. Really want to hear the muted vocals on the verses a little louder though, especially since they are so important to the piece as a whole. (i like the effect, just want to be able to hear the lyric) Glad too that you didn't give up the fight... |
|
| Life Minor Leaguer by johnmoore | 5 years ago |
| You're right Bob, I ain't after a major label. I'm doing this because I love it pure and simple. I've had songs in my head my whole life and... until The Mac, Garageband and iComp came along, I had no place to share them and get feedback. Thanks for the coments. |
|
| Peace in the Valley Once Again by aheurich | 5 years ago |
| you guys never cease to amaze me not to mention make me laugh this one is surreal... and production wise it's one of your strongest. who thought up these lyrics??? where'd they come from? was that Chuck on the crickets? |
|
| A World Without Mirrors by dame64 | 5 years ago |
| A really fine composition... that guitar in the middle really rips!!! |
|
| When Jonathan Went Country by dunnieboy | 5 years ago |
| Was it "Jonathan richman and the modern lovers"? I mean... was that the name of his band? somehow this came up from the recesses of my mind. One of you guys clear this up...PLEASE! The tune rocks!!! |
|
| Hero/Heroine (collaboration) by aheurich | 5 years ago |
| Beauitiful. One comment on production. Did you guys forget to turn off the the monitor in GB Track Mixer? The latency issue, results in Chuck's vocal being just a tad behind Armin. Or did you want it that way for a lagging effect? In any case, he combination of your totally opposite vocal styles is awesome. |
|
| Victoria Lee by aheurich | 5 years ago |
| This is Great! Realy fills out nice with Chuck's contributions. Are you guys going to be doing it at an upcoming live gig? |
|
| Pathos by Balok | 5 years ago |
| Balok... I really enoyed the simplicity of this... it never goes over the top and the piano remains as the focal point... why "Pathos" for the title? |
|
| Stay in Dreams by Balok | 5 years ago |
A real meditation... or mediCAtion I should say...Will listen when work is driving me up a wall.. today, infact...thanks! |
|
| Hey Mexico (you shuck away all my ill) by johnmoore | 5 years ago |
| Thats 'pilates' my friend,, you know, that new age stuff. Actually, a cowboy doing karate conjures up a pretty comical image too. |
|
| Hero/Heroine by aheurich | 5 years ago |
| I didn't hear the earlier version, so I have nothing to compare it to. But this sounds terrific...so far. The harmonies and accoustic guitar/s should really fill it out. Are you considering some kind of percussion? I like it! |
|
| Slapping around by BigTone | 5 years ago |
very funky! This bass holds it's own as a stand alone piece. |
|
| edifice by theDRP | 5 years ago |
| Man, this is real outsider alt/folk (for lack of a better term) at it's best. Abstract lyrics... words you have to listen to a few times and do some guessing before getting any kind of real understnding of what they are about... Combine em with a unique tune and arrangement and you've got a piece thats more challenging than much of the stuff you hear today on the folk stations. Lets hear more. |
|
| cloak by theDRP | 5 years ago |
Nice acoustic stuff! Great harmonies... more than one person singing them? or did you do all the lyrics youself? |
|
| Another Gin & Tonic by UncletupeloFan | 5 years ago |
| This one's sweet. | |
| Naive (the kooks cover) by BigTone | 5 years ago |
Really nice cover! (don't know the original). Your got a great voice too. I wouln't worry about the drums The song holds up just fine without them. Nice work... Lets hear more! PS Don't you know that you can record your own drum beats on the Apple Keyboard? |
|
| Weary Blues from Waitin' (final version) by aheurich | 5 years ago |
| Pretty catchy... and oh... so... deep | |
| Indiana by Dudley04 | 5 years ago |
| I like it like it i like it... great lyrics... i esp like the lines: "Where’s the end to this crime Let me hang from this sun to dry" and crashing from Divine We've all had it 'done to us' one time or another... keep em comin... Did i hear a kid in the background?! |
|
| amber medicine by theDRP | 5 years ago |
Really like this tune and lyrics...which so much more smart and meaningful than most of the country stuff one hears on the airwaves. Great work man! (just get that buz out of the background and you'll have a complete winner) THANKS! |

| Everest by LaFayette | 5 years ago |
Q: How do you write and decicate a song about a mountain... let alone the highest mountain on earth? A: In fne style Great guitar work, drums and overall mix! |

| Alien Voiceunder by Bob6stringer | 5 years ago |
Awesome. This really rocks! love the fact that its all real...no loops. and that high pitched guitar solo near the end is so...ALIEN |
|
| Listening by Baboon | 5 years ago |
| Great melody...Great harmonies...an all encompassing sound. Would love to hear a simplified acoustic version too... or is that asking too much!?! |
|
| Tips & Toes [Rough Acoustic] by Bob6stringer | 5 years ago |
| I like it. Its so honest without a spec of pretention. ...and being a parent I can really identify. Not even sure I want to hear the full blown version- Thanks- |
|
| Concrete and Barbed Wire (duet) by Dyl | 5 years ago |
Its BIG. it's EXPANSIVE... it's INSPIRING! ...just listened again and am nearly in tears. What a sound....such a BIG sound. Theres no other way to describe it. I don't usually like to rate songs with stars but this is an exception... 5 BIG ONES! |
|
| Folsom Prison Blues by aheurich | 5 years ago |
| Man you guys are brave to take on a Johnny C. masterpiece... (I can't hold a candle to the man). In any case, I was thinking, what could they possibly do that would make me want to listen to this (as opposed to the man in black singing FPB)? Well... -You speeded up the tempo...song moves along at a steady clip almost like a rock-a-billy tune. All of the sudden FPB is dance-able -Armin's deep deep vocals keep a rich and full sound -Finally those everpresent, driving guitars Can't wait to hear the harmony vocals! |
|
| Alone (All My Life) by Baboon | 5 years ago |
| Man, this has a raw, uneffected feeling... simply wonderful harmonies. GB voice effects are great... but when to strip em all away (or don't use them at all) you are left with JUST the singers' unique sound... somehow that makes the most powerful impression... at least for me. |
|
| 3 BAR STOOLS original version by wal4u | 5 years ago |
This is a GREAT song. raw, authentic and delivered as such. Thanks and I'll check out some nore of your stuff. J |
|
| No More James by Dudley04 | 5 years ago |
| EXCELLENT. FEEL LIKE I'M ON A DUSTY ROAD IN MISSISSIPPI IN THE 1930's. | |
| Pepper by Matt Granz | 5 years ago |
| It Rocks! Bring the vocals up.. (at least thats the way I hear it on my Mac). terrific guitar... lets hear more. |
|
| Wing Walker (Acoustic) by Sista Mac | 5 years ago |
| You've got a beautuful voice and a nice even guitar strum. Thoughtful and provicative lyrics too, full of metaphor. If you remix, you might want to bring the guitar down and the voiice up... just a bit for a better balance |
|
| Time To Get A Gun by dunnieboy | 5 years ago |
Just uploaded it. I really like it... esp. the vocal. Man... electric... acoustic guiars an unpolished, natural voice and good lyrics... thats as good as it gets around here. J |
|
| Music for B&W Existential film by Denschebetta | 5 years ago |
I clicked on this to take a listen purely because I liked the title... and I wasn't disappointed. It's got a real, raw, raspy, sound. If you added anything else to it or refined it in any way, it would probably be overproduced... I like it as is. |
|
| Weird by dunnieboy | 5 years ago |
| Man that's weird!!!! J |
|
| Never Been to Nashville by aheurich | 5 years ago |
| Pretty comical when you think that this comes from a visual artist! musically, its great. love what you did with the guitar parts ends pretty abruptly though. |
|
| York Road by dunnieboy | 5 years ago |
Man, this is a fine recording- reminicient of Music from Big Pink.. but totally original...you gave it your own sound. I've been singing it during the first play. This will go on my download list!... and I'll check out more of your stuff. J |
|
| Brother (unfinished) by insomniac28 | 5 years ago |
| I'm diggin this... it's a good rockin tune... I'll stay tuned for the vocals. One peice of advice... keep it short...no more than three minutes... leave us wanting more. |
