| Cheers guys - always good to hear what you think. | |
| Once In A Lifetime [Talking Heads COVER] by artneuro | 1 year ago |
| This is really good! When I saw the title I wondered if you would do it proud as it has so much in it and the original is a real groove. This I would say this was better than their version! - excellently done. I agree with Bob that it always comes back to guitars and I love the end on this. Mike. |
|
| Immortelle by Narananda | 1 year ago |
Love the sounds here! Would be great used with a good beat under it as a dance/ambient track. (I mean that in a good way) It is however, excellent as it is. Very moving. Mike. |
|
| Ramayana: Four Sons by DavidBowles | 1 year ago |
Excellent tune. Really enjoyed the production and the sounds. Mike. |
|
| Slip Stream by PiranhaLake | 1 year ago |
A whole lotta fun here - even the intro - that made me smile as much as the comp! Mike. |
|
| Heartbreak City by BossHook | 1 year ago |
Great song - really good, full, band kind of sound going on here - great! Mike. |
|
| A Sunday Kind of Love by michelefree | 1 year ago |
Very jazzy and smooth - great vocal performance. Would have been great with 'real' double bass - that would have given it the depth & richness it deserves. Mike. |
|
| Tiny Bubbles Sunshine by nlsn | 1 year ago |
| I just love bass and his certainly does it for me! Mike. |
|
| Workaholic by dirigent | 1 year ago |
You really get the feeling of someone going completely MAD!!!! with this. Almost disturbing! (but in a good way.) Mike. |
|
| Dancer by Dadio | 1 year ago |
| No probs here with the harmonies - they really make the track! Great little tune this... Mike. |
|
| The Days I'm There [For Maya, for Autumn] by Bob6stringer | 1 year ago |
| I love acoustic stuff despite a lot of my stuff being full on versions of guitar, bass & drums etc... recently - so this is great! I love the sound, really sweet. Chords are lovely too & I love the beat coming in at the end. Nice one Bob. Mike. |
|
| Milestone Inspector (final mix) by mick66 | 1 year ago |
| All great comments guys - thankyou very much! Oh & thanks for the plug Mick! Cheers, Mike. |
|
| Make it now by mick66 | 1 year ago |
| I'm surprised at this one cos I wasn't too sure about it at first. I'm glad I put it on tho, as your encouragement is just great! Mike. |
|
| Maybe Someday by mick66 | 1 year ago |
| Hey guys - many thanks for the comments. You are all too kind! | |
| Life's Stiles by mick66 | 1 year ago |
| Cheers for the comments guys - means a lot. There are more where this came from, it's getting the time to do it - that's the hard part. Many thanks. Mike. |
|
| Homestead by mick66 | 2 years ago |
| Thanks Julian, I guess that's the problem when I have too many songs on my profile! Some are bound to get missed or overlooked. As Artneuro says, it's almost criminally negligent! I guess it happens to a lot of us when there are so many songs to wade thru. Then again it's nice to get a comment on a song out of the blue like you kindly did - then it makes it all wothwhile. Thanks again Julian. Mike. |
|
| How Can I? by 4arms | 2 years ago |
Deffo radio friendly, but would have benefitted from more depth maybe? Drums wise I mean. Other than that not bad! Mike ;~) |
|
| warm inside by mick66 | 2 years ago |
| Cheers for that Ricky, any comments are welcome however late! I reckon I could have pulled the bass up a bit which would have created a more intense feel to it but it works just as it is tho. Many thanks, Mike. |
|
| A Day in the Life (cover) by Baboon | 2 years ago |
I agree with all the comments here - BUT!!!!!! Babs, no one has picked out the humor you've so brilliantly put in there - very funny! (Maybe it's a brit thing?) You've done such a great job on this cover - very brave indeed, and the humorous element makes it yours for sure. Mike. |
|
| Wicked Annya (Dona Nobis Groovem Mix) by JD | 2 years ago |
Yeah! I listened to the other version first but i kind of prefer this more funky one. The bass is truly wicked with those drums. Great all round tho guys. Mike. |
|
| Wicked Annya (Galactic Short Bus Mix) by JD | 2 years ago |
Wow... Amazing performances all round guys! The drums have been programmed so well with a real feel to them - I had to keep reminding myself they weren't! The end sequence was a suprise too. Mike. |
|
| afterglow (final mix) by mick66 | 2 years ago |
| Hey that's OK there will be others I'm sure Jody, I'm glad you like it. Mike. |
|
| Years From Now by JohnnyRay | 2 years ago |
Really nice and mellow, great guitar work, lots of feeling there, a good relaxing, chillout song. Mike. |
|
| Smell Of Coffee (Remix with Piano) by JodyG | 2 years ago |
Great job all round guys, I love the piano. It reminds of something from the first Finn Bros album from 1995. It's really laid back with a good chill out factor! I'd love to have some of that piano on my stuff too. Do feel free to trawl thru my songs and have a go. I've got a new one on the go but it's still under construction! Mike. |
|
| snow upon the beach 07 by mick66 | 2 years ago |
| Cheers Bab' It's great to get feedback from a fellow artist/writer. The end fade is the best bit, I've got to agree! Mike. |
|
| Destiny Calls by mick66 | 2 years ago |
| Thankyou very much Vegetal for those kind words - it means a lot buddy! Kind regards, Mike. |
|
| Duke's Return (w/Vocals) by JD | 2 years ago |
Wow! I only sorry I don't get much time to listen to more of your ideas and collabs but this is great! Baboons vox are hilarious and very british! Overall superb sound spanning Abacab and Duke I would say but you all captured the feeling here for deffo. Regards, Mike. |
|
| western pride by 99sflowers | 3 years ago |
Bob dropped me in on this & I'm glad he did! Great guitar sound and I like the vox too! Mike. |
|
| Way home by fromano | 3 years ago |
Such a great song, it builds really naturally and I love the vox & harmonies. I like the chords and the 'chugging' guitar sounds really effective, hey and the arpeggio electric guitar is perfect suspended underneath it all - just brilliant, great collab guys. Mike. |
|
| Una Canzone Per Maria Bella by JD | 3 years ago |
Beautiful! I love the gentle roll of the piano and it almost reminds of something that Neil Finn would do on piano - a bit like his fantastic song 'last day of june' from the first Finn album. This gives me the same feelng of wonderful movement & passion within the melody. Great! MIke. |
|
| Heading West by JD | 3 years ago |
Hey JD, you been so kind stopping by and listening to my suff and the stuff I posted by myself and friend Neil recently, that I thought I must check out some of your stuff [which I haven't for a while - sorry!] This is great tho, I could have a go at something like this, only not as loops, but for real! I agree with 'Pandas...' about the vocals thing - I mean this would be great with some vox on it. Love it man! Mike. |
|
| Part of the show by fromano | 3 years ago |
Just had to stop by after you kind kind comments and I'm glad I did...this is a superb song and your voice is wonderful! I wish I could get the same breathy closeness you get here. The production is spot on. Mike. |
|
| one inch punch by mick66 | 3 years ago |
| Wow.. seriously guys, I'm flattered by these comments. These last 3 or 4 songs were the remains of a past project but I'm so glad Brent aka 4arms persuaded me to post them. Thankyou. Mike. |
|
| the hand that rocks the world by mick66 | 3 years ago |
| Thank you so much et. I must point out tho, that although it's my song the lead vocal is my friend Neil who worked with me on a bunch of recordings a couple of years back. So praise must go to him for the vox and some of the production. Cheers anyway et! Mike. |
|
| girl from no return by mick66 | 3 years ago |
| Thanks guys... it's always great to get comments on stuff that I nearly didn't bother with - it gives me hope on other stuff I need to develop. Thanks again. Mike. |
|
| What's Changed? 2006 by artneuro | 3 years ago |
Hi Art, I'm glad I checked this track out! Love the guitars - a bit Pete Townshend-ish which I like a lot. The whole track has a brit sound... a bit post punk/new romantic [but in a good way] Yeah... great composition and well performed & do I hear a bit of Split Enz too? Mike. |
|
| Retrospective by mitch | 3 years ago |
This is cool Mitch... very trendy cafe bar vibe in style - chilled out. I can almost get the prob with the pianos clashing a bit in pitch, but to be honest I kind of like it as it adds to the ambience of the piece. It shouldn't work maybe, but it does! Remember - in music the only rule is that there are no rules!!! Keep em coming! Mike. |
|
| Lovliness by dame64 | 3 years ago |
It's beautiful Dame and as always, well played sir! Of course we would need Tim for the bass if it were to go in the Loved Ones set!!! I'm still working on him! Mike. |
|
| Crackpot by 4arms | 3 years ago |
Excellent Brent - it's always an admirable thing to do anything in an odd time sig but you cracked it with your distinctive style mate. I really like this one!!! Its fun... Mike. |
|
| Crimson Sunset [band] by Bob6stringer | 3 years ago |
Great band sound - reminds me of something from The Who's Odds album. [I'm a big Who fan!] So this gets the thumbs up from me for sure. I'll bet this was good live! Mike. |
|
| warm inside by mick66 | 3 years ago |
| Cheers Brent, I had thought of adding vocals to this when I strummed it on it's own [pre-recording] but the more I listen to it now the more dramatic it gets and I think adding vox and ultimately another melody might compromise it too much. We'll see!!! many thanks - Mike. |
|
| chandelier ballroom by mick66 | 3 years ago |
| many thanks guys and the heavier mix does seem to get more of the thumbs up treatment on comments! Mike. |
|
| Love Will Tear Us Apart (Cover) by gossamertread | 3 years ago |
Great! At first I thought this may not work, but you've managed to get that new romantic feel with an almost unplugged kind of thing going on and it works really well. Hat's off to you for even trying!!! Excellent, Mike. |
|
| Dancing Barefoot by PowerMatt | 3 years ago |
Fantastic mate! I can only repeat what the others have already said, but there's no point...they've said it !!! Love the guitar sounds - excellent and lively! Mike. |
|
| Anger Management (w/Ray La Veau) by JD | 3 years ago |
Woa! This is amazing guys!!! the drums are excellent and so too are the guitars of course. Nice one! Mike. |
|
| All These Days by Boat_Thief | 3 years ago |
Deffo one of my faves... sounds even better live & I had the privilage of seeing them [and participating too] at a recent one off, reunion acoustic gig here in my home town - just great!!! Check out my Blog for details etc... Mike. |
|
| Salinity (Granz's guitar mix) by Baboon | 3 years ago |
A melting pot of genius's [or is that geni?] anyway... fantastic stuff guys on all levels - pats on the preverbial backs for all involved!!! MIke. |
|
| Lick My (mitch's lick-my-dance-floor mix) [house] by mitch | 3 years ago |
Aha! You know me mitch... not my bag really but as a recording musician you done good on this one baby!!! A real 'clubby' classic for sure - love it! Mike. |
|
| IWANTYOU by 4arms | 3 years ago |
It's great as it is mate! Less is more as they say. Just you, your thoughts & your acoustic is all you need on this one. Mike. |
|
| Right Now Right Now by PowerMatt | 3 years ago |
Yeah! this is a great song for the car...put your foot down baby! scream if you wanna go faster!!! excellent as always. Mike. |
|
| When the smoke clears by MellowSun | 3 years ago |
Excellent guys! great concept and the vox are superb - you guys have it nailed with the harmonies and I agree with JD about the Froom comment, very Finn[ish]. Mike. |
|
| rose marie by paulfisher909 | 3 years ago |
Ahh... fellow brit! I like this a lot it has great presence & is very melacholic. I love its' simplicity - and then the choir... nice! MIke. |
|
| Ode to Madeleine by 4arms | 3 years ago |
I presume her arrival wasn't long ago... you'll be stuck for time to write stuff - believe me, I know! This is a great song, nice and simple, great chords and I think I've said it before with your stuff, but some harmony vox would be lovely in this one! Mike. |
|
| Wasted Sun by MellowSun | 3 years ago |
| Forgot to say... If you love this, you'll love clockdoggie's stuff too! Mike. |
|
| Wasted Sun by MellowSun | 3 years ago |
Fantastic! just what I like...a great melodic guitar song, brilliant harmonies and an instantly singable tune. As a guitarist, I love the picked suspension guitar line the tempo and the production is neat! Mike. |
|
| Half-way to the moon by mick66 | 3 years ago |
| This song just hit over 100 plays! so a big thanks to everyone here and anyone who has visited the song and liked it. MIke. |
|
| Pretty Blue Things by TessCrazy | 3 years ago |
I agree with 4arms... it's all very accomplished! A great sense of composition going on here & it does need drums & percussion to really make it shine! Mike. |
|
| famous strawberry blonde by mick66 | 3 years ago |
| LOL... 'She' is a metaphor - that is anyone who is maybe famous and bowls you over by their presence. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that kinda stuff!!! But I think the inspiration came from watching a film with Nicole Kidman in it...I think!? can't remember which one tho... Mike. |
|
| What Exit? by Bob6stringer | 3 years ago |
Hey you did it, I mean this is the track you mentioned a while ago when you talked about using sound loops of a car starting etc... It works great! some excellent guitar work and sounds going on here and I love the effects popping up in the mix. Mike. |
|
| time on the beach by mick66 | 3 years ago |
| Cheers guys, JD I know what you meant by your first reaction and I kind of agree, some of the backing vox were done in haste and do drift a little, that's why I kinda said it wasn't spot on in the descriptive text. Hey but I'm glad you came round to it on the 3rd listen! And macsnob, no worries - I listened to it endlessly without the vox before & during the mixing for the same reasons you would like to do the same!!! Mike. |
|
| Decadence is the New Abstinence (featuring Baboon) by Baboon | 3 years ago |
I agree with all of the above! It's almost as if this was all done by one person cos it all fits and feels like it was meant to be... woa, scary or what? or is just me?Mmmmm... just me then!Nice one guys!!!Mike. |
|
| telemetry [groove in the atmosphere] by mick66 | 3 years ago |
| Thanks Sven, yeah the guitars are a loop from an intro to a song I recorded with a friend. We did not do anything with the song so I used the intro riff from that recording as a loop - the rest are loops or sounds. Mike. |
|
| To Do With Love by TessCrazy | 3 years ago |
Wow! for some so young [and I don't mean to be patronising] you got a great career ahead of you...this is awesome! I love it! I reckon you would like KT Tunstall's stuff.Mike. |
|
| A Thousand Young Voices by TessCrazy | 3 years ago |
Excellent! I love your srumming technique, it really drives it along and with the bass, it's more than enough to get into this tune. Hey, and not mention the vocals of course!Mike. |
|
| jerusalem by mick66 | 3 years ago |
| Thanks guys, great to get nice feedback on this one. I listened to it again and it really is quite powerful! Mike. |
|
| Bee the One by PowerMatt | 3 years ago |
Yeah! Really lovin the 'brit punk' vibe here. I like the 'no nonense' appoach - it's really refreshing to hear good, straight, driving guitar pop amongst all the loops and electronic wizardry! I must also visit you more often. Mike. |
|
| In These Shoes by octoberglory31 | 3 years ago |
| This is fantastic! Whatever you do, DON'T re-do your vocals!!! You are a real songwriting talent my friend and you have a great touch to your guitar playing... | |
| Only when Im thinking about you by octoberglory31 | 3 years ago |
| Great! Love it! There's just so much you can do, show, feel etc.. with an acoustic, a voice, and a great melody. Like the purity of this one | |
| Look at You by 4arms | 3 years ago |
Thanks for the mp3 format Brent. I really like this song and I agree with these other guys about the guitar work. I would love to hear more harmony vocals in it tho - just a thought cos it would really polish it up a bit more. Mike. |
|
| All Knowing - Revised by 4arms | 3 years ago |
I can hear coldplay & Liam Gallager in this one! which would be a minor miracle cos they hate each other!!! This is a good song - the fade in works well and I like your ascending melody in the verse. I also like the driving guitar and the picking arpeggio guitar at the end - great. Cheers, Mike. |
|
| iCompilations I by Djev_Asnew | 3 years ago |
What a great idea! - there should be more of this...don't you think?!!!Mike. |
|
| The Sandy Sea (Sahara) by JD | 3 years ago |
I like Peter Gabriel too and I can really hear the influence in this tune. I love the beat and percussion. I agree with 'offbalance' about the twists and turns you put in there - great! It's nice just to hear a good instrumental piece sometimes aint it?!Cheers JD,Mike. |
|
| hours & times by mick66 | 3 years ago |
| Cheers guys... this was just a bit of a throw away song, I nearly didn't bother with it! So to get comments with phrases such as 'McCartney' and 'Finn Bros' cropping up, maybe I better take another look at how I approach such a composition!!! Great... I like suprises like that. Mike. |
|
| 5:00am by mick66 | 3 years ago |
| It's great to hear that this one is well received. Bob, I think I know the bit you are on about and I can't quite remember, but I think it was a 'china splash' sound on the drum module that we used. It was a bit high in the mix so could have sounded like clipping. Cheers, Mike. |
|
| Let Us Come Home by Boat_Thief | 3 years ago |
I had the pleasure of seeing these guys live in their native Lake District some time ago and they were great. In fact I get to play with one of the former members on a regular basis - many beers still consumed...ahhhhhhh!!!!!This was always my fave song. |
|
| Why You... [post-band psycho-swing mix] by Bob6stringer | 3 years ago |
Yeah! Love it to bits!!! Great guitar sound. I too like a bit of the old rockabilly stuff and dabble now and again. You would really like my song '2wenty 4our 7even' which is a 'setzer - style' bit of fun which I did with a friend of mine on pro-tools...check it out!Mike. |
|
| Alien Voiceunder by Bob6stringer | 3 years ago |
Love the slide playing! The whole thing is as mad as a box of frogs! but I love it. I can see why you liked my 'vampire' song with my attempt at slde!Great.Mike. |
|
| ancient astronaut by mick66 | 3 years ago |
| Hey, Many thanks Bob! Glad you like my stuff. I just read the 'Vampire' comment too and I'll try to fix it as you suggest. Mike. | |
| i'm not fighting with the angels by mick66 | 3 years ago |
| Cheers Mitch, I know what you mean. I was messing about with post production on that track with reverbs etc... but on the already mixed down track, cut into sections but I knew it hadn't worked properly. Still I thought it was worth posting the track just as it was...even with the badly mixed tambourine!!! Mike. |
|
| Prelude/Little Sass by JD | 3 years ago |
This is just so far removed from what I listen to normally, but I love it! It offers so much and the beat is very infectious!!! I love the timbali rolls when they come in - great.I have a 7 year old who does Ballet and she makes up her own sequences to this. Hey, one for all ages then...Ha ha!!! Mike. |
|
| Puppy in the snow by MattFrance | 3 years ago |
This is great!!! Wasn't sure at the start, but when the drums come in...WOW!!! Great beat - brilliant, Love it! MIke. |
|
| edge of the map by mick66 | 3 years ago |
| Cheers for the comments, If you like this you'll love clockdoggie's remix [which is listed] where he added drums and bass which really pulls it together! The original demo was done using Audition 1.5 Mike. |
|
| 2wenty-4our-7even by mick66 | 3 years ago |
| Hey, cheers guys... I knew some of you would like it - it is a bit different to my usual stuff, but a lot of fun hence the faint laughter/giggle at the end! [you can just make it out at the close of the song] Mike. |
|
| My Love by MattFrance | 3 years ago |
I like this too Matt! great stuff. I like acoustic stuff and this is a great performance. Your vocals are good and strong but that decent mic would make it shine! [and the guitar too!]Mike. |
|
| Lost in the moment by MattFrance | 3 years ago |
 Yeah!... I gotta agree with dame64 on this one and the updated comments too. I would love to hear this 'clean' and with a bit of bass - maybe a little more percussion too.Mike. |
|
| famous strawberry blonde by mick66 | 3 years ago |
| Thanks for the feed back guys - means a lot! If anyone is into Split Enz, they are back together to do tour of NZ and Aus this year, I think... more info on the 'Finn Brothers' web site on this re-union. Mike. |
|
| Key to my Heart by teespace | 3 years ago |
Crikey... I've used all that old gear in the past, SR 16's, MT32's, midi this that and the other, Reel to Reels etc... it was the dogs nad's once over but I much prefer the immediacy of the PC recording format.I've uploaded stuff before done on a Yamaha MT8X 8track and to be honest, once cleaned up and properly mixed...what the heck - still sounds good!This is good stuff from those days obviously, but it would be great to hear more of your new or newly recorded stuff.Mike. |
|
| Duke's Return by JD | 3 years ago |
What a great groove... You did a really good job on the drums! It's almost hypnotic which I like very much - and natural feel! Nice!!! |
|
| just before the year of love by mick66 | 3 years ago |
| Wow, thanks for your kind comments guys. Trying to make it retro has actually worked - great! ;~) | |
| Confession Papers by RichardRinger | 3 years ago |
A lot of power and emotion in this...I like it! The ending is very...Mmm?...scary!? Nice one! Mike. |
|
| escape by mick66 | 3 years ago |
| Cheers Dave, It means a lot to get comments on your playing...glad you liked it!!! | |
| firefly cage by mick66 | 3 years ago |
| Just thought...maybe some people may not be familiar with 'Lovejoy'! Well... he was a loveable, roguish antiques dealer in the heart of England who had many dodgy adventures. The series was screened in the early nineties. The first episode was called 'The Firefly cage' Again... any comments welcome...good or bad! |
|
| i'm not fighting with the angels by mick66 | 3 years ago |
| Gosh! 40 plays but no comments... must be a little unpopular, doh!!! Nevermind, any comments are welcome! | |
| Let My Love Open The Door (Cover) by craigcarmean | 3 years ago |
FANTASTIC!!! I absolutely love PT, truly a great songwriter and you have done this very well indeed - love it. It's a great modern version. Mike. |
|
| Driftwood (Moody Blues cover) by PhaseDance | 3 years ago |
Like the cat! I like cats...but I couldn't eat a whole one!!! I agree, very nicely done, a good song and the singing isn't too CATastrophic! No, the harmonies are commendable. I know how hard it is to harmonise well, but you did it, Nice one. Oh I like you favourites... well the Pete Townshend one anyway - he's an influence of mine. Mike. |
|
| The tSUNAMIS-Dark Eyes by PiranhaLake | 3 years ago |
Hey... anything with guitars is fine by me! Love this!!! Mike. |
|
| wax melts [instrumental] by mick66 | 3 years ago |
| Thankyou! I know the quality is still a bit dodgy, but I have'nt had a lot of time to look at it yet. Please can anyone else look past the digital inerference [I know it's annoying] just for now and listen to the music like jdwyer05 did! Many thanks. |
|
| splendour by mick66 | 3 years ago |
| Thanks Brent, this an old song really - about 10 years old... but I always liked the feeling of it as you say in your comment, so I brought it back and posted it to share with anyone who likes it! Cheers. |
|
| I Have Changed by 4arms | 3 years ago |
Excellent song! very commercial, if you played this 'live' you would hold the audience, as it does drive along nicely - even with it's simplicity! I would agree with the comment about harmonies, that would give it an awesome quality, but it stands up on its own without too. Mike. |
