| Hi Vicki, thanks for listening. I wasn't sure of the genre, too. Thank you, Sam. I'm not into Rap/Hiphop, too. Maybe I'd try to look for vocal samples that I can use in this song because no one seems to be interested in trying it out.  Hey Olympus, thanks again brother. |

| On The Boulevard by scaustrita | 12 months ago |

| Get Up by mongooze | 12 months ago |
| Thank you for your comments guys. Anyway, I was experimenting with this one based on the music I hear around the neighborhood. I thought: "Well, I should try it for the second time." The first one turned out to be more RnB-ish than Hiphop. |

| Lovely song. Beautiful guitars. |

| Endless Waves by mongooze | 12 months ago |
| Hi Jay, thank you for your nice comments. You, vacationing? No way, man! I can play about half your speed. Yes, I can play guitar but not as good as you are. Keep it up, man! |

Excellent guitar-playing and overall musicianship-- everything that I want to hear from a rock guitar-oriented track! Bravo!  |

| Dawn Follows (Extended) by olympus | 12 months ago |
| Wow!!! Great track!!! It's very cinematic. The orchestration and the melodic guitar shredding complemented each other well. Great collaboration! More, please? |

| Janice's New Groove by mongooze | 12 months ago |
| nice observation, olympus. i must have accidentally slid that track down during my editing. the panning idea sounds great. i did that in Sleepy Head and Sleepy Head (Rewind). thank you for your wonderful insight. | |

| Revival by onehappytrout | 12 months ago |
Wow! This sounds cool. Lovely composition and arrangement. Instant favorite! |
|
| Endless Waves by mongooze | 12 months ago |
| Thank you, Pharm. I decreased the bass volume level to about 70-75%, upped the guitar volume level to 7% more, the synth at 75% on the verses and upped them to 100% (except the bass) in the bridges. The tracks were mixed down to 160kbps at 44.1KHz. I also upped the treble a few notches and applied mastering reverb. |

|
| Gooze Yer Blues by mongooze | 12 months ago |
| Wow, thank you, Diane. It's been one and a half years since I did this and emailed my arrangement to Hernan who laid down an excellent bass track. I hope I can work with you in my future projects. Cheers! |

| Thank you, Diane. I'm glad you liked it. | |
| Love, Love, Love by mongooze | 1 year ago |
| @ihussain and bassplayer92: The main melody kept on singing in my head during one of those days when I was contemplating on something in the office. Of course, I drew some inspiration from a love who I haven't gotten in touch with. So when I got home that night, I worked on the melody right away and laid down the tracks. I thought the intro melody would catch attention so I used it as an outtro, too/ I'm glad you liked it. Thank you. |
|
| Dreams and wishes by ihussain | 1 year ago |

| @vicky: Thank you for liking it. @zincshed: Yes, you're right. I could have opted for a definite finish. Thank you. @C_Man (Mannix): Salamat bro! Btw, magkakasama nga pala kami nina Paul (npaulp) and Vlad (TheAlmightyGanja) the other night. We were talking about DAWs and some recording and mixing techniques. Naalala nga kita. |

| 3 by kahlil | 2 years ago |
Flawlessly executed! Pastorius, Berlin and Patitucci rolled into a Kahlil! Nice track brother! More please?!!! |
|
| rose colored glasses by guitardogcar | 2 years ago |
| Wow! This is a very good song... excellent vocals (I wish I had yours) and guitar! An eye-opener for people who look at the world with an 'old' lens-- yours is well-polished my friend. Thanks for sharing. | |
| 7 by kahlil | 2 years ago |
I always loved the way Kahlil plays. We've been together in a band back in college and I was always impressed with his excellent skills and photographic memory as he always leaves his bass in the studio and goes home after a practice (we all bring our instruments home). When we come back for rehearsals, he's better than the rest of the band as if his fingers have a memory of their own! This piece is a testament to his skills and extraordinary talent. |
|
| Sleepy Head (Rewind) by mongooze | 2 years ago |
| Thank you for your nice comments guys. Yes, a good friend lent me his Fender Strat Sambora and I thought it could lend some subtle vibrato action. I love Hendrix and yes I stole his licks with a bit variation. I'm glad you liked it. Cheers! |
|
| Astral II by MusicLeft | 2 years ago |
| Excellent collab guys! One of the best jazz collabs I've heard in iComp. Great piano and basslines. I thought I was listening to Jaco and I realized it was the great Anto! Congratulations! Thank you for posting it. | |
| Pancha-tattva by Rasa_Priya | 2 years ago |
| Thank you for sharing it with us. Absolutely wonderful! | |
| Sweet Coconut Pie(Colab) by Telemetry | 2 years ago |
| Smooooth, luscious vocals Vicki! Excellent instrumentation and arrangement Ray. Loved everything! | |
| SOMETHING ABOUT YOU by geoffuk | 2 years ago |
Congratulations Geoff and Steve! This is so wonderful! This reminds me of Airplay's Jay Graydon and David Foster tandem in the 80s. Excellent instrumentation and overall musicianship! |
|
| Sleepy Head by mongooze | 2 years ago |
Hi guys, thanks for the encouraging comments. Yes, C_Man, I was thinking of Hendrix' PH... and the horns were from my GR-33. I edited the notes to make it sound a bit realistic. The drums aren't real but are VST plugins. I'm not satisfied with the tone of the second and third guitar fills though (i experimented with it and ended up sounding muddy with so much distortion... though it may depict disorientation from an abrupt awakening from a deep sleep ). I'll try to come up with an improved version (I hope  ...) |
|
| Breathe (Deep Mix) by C_Man | 2 years ago |
| A cleverly arranged and hauntingly gorgeous piece! Everything in the right place. Holly's vocals are topnotch. It's like an Enya with a modern twist that is uniquely different. Saludo kami nina Paul sa 'yo! |
|
| Redemption Song (cover) by Songstar | 2 years ago |
| Excellent take on a BM classic! Nice vocals and good guitar playing. Keep it up! |

|
| Gooze Yer Blues by mongooze | 2 years ago |
| Thank you for your generous comments guys! I wish you all a more creative and productive 2010! Welcome back, Paul! | |
| Song for Jimi by MusicLeft | 2 years ago |
| A jazzier Jimi!!! Excellent collab guys! Excellent guitar tone and phrasing! Loved that "jazz scat" preset on the GR-33! Did you also use the GR-33's bass preset in this song? Brilliant playing and production! |
|
| Birdland (with Grathy) by Bennie | 2 years ago |
| WOW!!! Fantastic take on a WR classic! Excellent brass and topnotch scats! Congratulations to you both! |
|
| I'm SO in LOVE! by Naaji | 2 years ago |
| Really sexy whatever the beat is!!! Cool R&B track. Loved it!!! |
|
| Little Child by mongooze | 2 years ago |
| Thank you for your kind comments. Yes, C_Man, the bass for the verse was panned but rather slightly to the left and slightly to the right in the bridge part. I played the bass using my Fender Strat, but the sound was simulated and processed through Guitar Rig's bass module. I also adjusted the bass, mid and hi EQs on the multitrack console. |
|
| Linger (Demo Mix) by C_Man | 2 years ago |
| A very pleasant listen! Nice atmosphere/mix you created here which fit perfectly with the excellent vocals. Hands down, I really like your ideas. A more creative 2010 bro! Itaas natin ang ating bandila. Kampay! |

|
| All Over You (remix) by musikgrl | 2 years ago |
| Fantastic track-- vocals, instrumentation and arrangement. Though I have not heard of the original tune, I liked this tempo. There's a waltzy feel to it. Some Beatles influence too but very original and unique in its character. More please? |
|
| THE FLAME AND THE MOTH by KCsGROOVE | 2 years ago |
| Excellent track KC! I loved the clean tone guitar lines- perfect! the keyboards and vocals are excellent. Great collab! Enjoyed this a lot! |

| Geo's Masque (Anto, Hernan, & Geo) by fatchance | 2 years ago |
| Hey, I'm glad I navigated through the list to have found this nice collab tune. The atmosphere you created here was like you were jamming together and improvising. Another great tune from topnotch musicians from iComp! Cheers! |
|
| The Shield of Achilles (HTB) by becwil | 2 years ago |
| Strange and beautiful! I liked the way the chants (Gregorian?) were utilized. The interplay between the percussion instruments and the synths were very effective. I loved the way you bent some notes, too. The haunting melody and overall texture was excellent! More please!!!! |
|
| Women In Love (Van Halen Cover) by Tony2008 | 2 years ago |
| I remember this song in the Van Halen II album. Eddie is one of my guitar heroes, too. Excellent cover Tony, I liked your version. Great vocals too. Are you the one who sang the main vocal melody? Cheers! |
|
| In Your Eyes {Acoustic Cover} by RAVENS | 2 years ago |
| Long way down here-- such a huge fan base! lol. Fantastic first vocal take and fabulous collab. Nice vocal harmonies, too. I loved the warm, sweet voice and nice acoustic accompaniment. This was a good take on a Peter Gabriel classic. Please take care of that voice. Thank you for sharing it. |
|
| A Child is Born by Bennie | 2 years ago |
| Impressive! I love everything in this arrangement! Very, very cool trumpet! The funky bass groove fits well into the waltzy tune. Greetings from this part of the world! |
|
| On the roof by ant | 2 years ago |
| Excellent playing! I love the laid back concept. Exceptional production values. Kudos! | |
| Crush by Tribrix | 2 years ago |
| Whoa! This place is too deep for comments- such ahuge fan base! I liked the way you put up this piece-- nice instrumentation, a fusion of dance and punk. The throbbing beat was very effective and the guitar distortion was perfect. I can imagine if Sid Vicious and the Sex Pistols had used electronica in their albums. Really nice and unique. Cheers! | |
| IN THE RAIN by KCsGROOVE | 2 years ago |
| Glad you uploaded this one. I always love the clean blues guitar tone. Enjoyed this a lot! | |
| One More Time by npaulp | 2 years ago |
| I realized I haven't heard this one fully. Smooth and masterful jazz guitar! Great composition. | |
| Flyin' High by mongooze | 2 years ago |
| Thank you guys. I actually tried to fuse rock into the r&b/jazz groove-- a little experimentation that I wasn't sure of in the beginning. I'm glad you liked the idea. Thank you so much for the nice comments. |
|
| MASKED PUPPETEERS by Barretok | 2 years ago |
| Wild vocals! Funky groove! Excellent arrangement! Great guitar solo! Engaging lyrics! And oh, I forgot somethin'-- it's Barretok!!! | |
| Smokey Rooms !!! by geoffuk | 2 years ago |
| Whoah!!! It's a long way down here! You've got such a huge fan base! This is great stuff, man! I love your guitar tone-- it cuts through the mix. You really got "it!" I missed those "all-night-long" gigs, too-- the smoky rooms you were describing. When smoke gets in the eyes, it adds to the emotion in your playing, hehehe, you know what I mean... | |
| Again by mongooze | 2 years ago |
| Thank you for your nice comments. And yes, Red, we are actually in another plane of existence when we are asleep--the astral--not just a fantasy world but a real one indeed. Soul is awake 24/7. While the physical body rests, the light body travels somewhere else. Cheers! |

| 15 Weeks (HTB) by becwil | 2 years ago |

|
| A simple and slow choir by telo12 | 2 years ago |
| Nice choral implementation. So serene... | |
| La Fiesta by Bennie | 2 years ago |
| I loved the way you structured your winds Benny! I know its a classic Chic but you have had your own tasty flavor to it. Did you intentionally subdue the MIDI keys? Fantastic playing and excellent brass textures! Cheers! |
|
| Curious Company (HTB) by becwil | 2 years ago |
| "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" meets "Bladerunner." I can't describe how I felt about this piece as if I'm bordering on two different dimensions. Great texture! I would like to call it a "cybernetic-alien fusion!" Excellent work, Bec! |
|
| Chase You (Dance remix?) by Naaji | 2 years ago |
| Killer vocals! Loved it! |
|
| Night Native Nation by GaryLester | 2 years ago |
| I liked the subdued guitar tracks and the overall arrangement! Keep it up! |
|
| GOING THROUGH THE SEASONS by KCsGROOVE | 2 years ago |
| I wondered if there is still space down here. Bluesy and tasty! I love the tone and notes that you used. The vocals are just perfect! Keep it up, KC! Cheers! |
|
| STEAMBOAT SUNSET by geoffuk | 2 years ago |
| I liked the jazz blues feel on this one and the guitar tone and use of delay is topnotch! Nice groove! Keep it up, Geoff! | |
| Electroplated Funk by zincshed | 2 years ago |
Nice vibe and arrangement! Great collaboration! It's good that your Rhodes is back in shape 'cause you can't get that warm and full-bodied sound using MIDI keys... close to it, but this is the real thing. Excellent! |
|
| Sunset Pier by scaustrita | 2 years ago |
| I love Benson. This is a great piece you did! Smoooooth! Cheers! |
|
| Climax by quintusl | 2 years ago |

| Milestones by Filmscorz | 2 years ago |

| Another Place by mongooze | 2 years ago |
| Thanks Soundhound. Technically, he was better than I am. Boy I'm grateful to be in the company of fantastic artists where I now draw some inspiration from-- you guys! | |
| Lover by npaulp | 2 years ago |
See, Paul? I told you! This is one of the best rock guitar ballads that I've heard. It was a humbling experience when I first heard it. I rhought I should be playing ukulele instead. lol. Seriously, it was a great piece— great guitar playing, stark arrangement and nice melody. |
|
| Another Place by mongooze | 2 years ago |
| Thanks! Hey guys, Paul had a very melodic rock guitar ballad that he did right around the same period that I did this one. Shall we convince Paul to upload it as well? Hey come on, it deserves to be heard by the iCompers! Post it! Post it! Post it! |
|
| Vitamin B3 by Filmscorz | 2 years ago |
| I loved this one Jeff! Nice groove! | |
| Another Place by mongooze | 2 years ago |
| Thank you, Jeff. It was the second piece that I did (I accidentally reset the machine back to its factory settings some few hours after I did the first one 'cause it was quite new at that time and I was tweaking the buttons)... regained my sanity afterwards and made an entirely new material. | |
| You Go To My Head by ClayPotts | 2 years ago |
