| I Need To Know by JD | 4 years ago |
 JD, I need to know...Why aren't you an A&R guy for big label? |
|
| SICK by PlusUltra | 4 years ago |
You guys might just make Halloween scary again! I was starting to lose hope. Very cool. |
|
| Un Giorno Nell'inverno, Molto Tempo Fa (One Day in Winter, Long Ago) by JD | 4 years ago |
Somebody make a really cool independent film to go with this beautiful soundtrack immediately! |
|
| Mr.Gone by AcetyleneJukebox | 4 years ago |
I love me some Zawinul, bad sounds and all. Nice work. |
|
| Wicked Annya (Dona Nobis Groovem Mix) by JD | 4 years ago |
| I gotta give it to JD. He put this tune(s) together. Ray is killin' too. I just played a bunch of notes as uber-groovy as I possibly could. I mean it's like a Los Lobotomys B-side or a Toto instrumental or something. Somebody sling some money at JD.(and give me some of it JD.) | |
| Wicked Annya (Galactic Short Bus Mix) by JD | 4 years ago |
| LBD. Now, I like that. With the right branding and associated marketing gimmicks, we could take over the world...Or maybe just sell a record or two. Either way is fine. LBD |
|
| Tonsil Trot by PlusUltra | 4 years ago |
Stankeriffic! Man, is that the Sadowsky? That thing sounds good. Happy 4th my man, and goodbye tonsils. |
|
| Jako Funk by archjerry | 4 years ago |
Yeah, this is good. Nice work! |
|
| Black Market Return Policy by nealbowen | 5 years ago |
| You guys are too kind. The recording is indeed too hot Xolv. I'd like to say that once in a while, Jaco's bass sound distorted on a recording or two, (Continuum solo, low E) but honestly, I liked what came out the first time and decided to leave it. The input gain was way to hot on my Motu interface. Oh well. Thanks for listening. -N | |
| Portrait of Tracy (Tribute) by plexaura | 5 years ago |
How's your left hand after playing that last Emaj7 4? (That's only funny to other bass players, I suppose.) Great work. NB |
|
| On HIS way back by Theophilus1 | 5 years ago |
Amen! |
|
| Methane by Polyglot | 5 years ago |
That's a good sounding bass. I know! |
|
| Thumper! by PlusUltra | 5 years ago |
Right on! That intro is great! It's like Primus, but it makes sense. |
|
| Faces and Places by hutchk | 5 years ago |
I second everything posted so far. Yellowjackets, Schmellowjackets. |
|
| Djembe Time by Filmscorz | 5 years ago |
Nice. It needs some bass over it.  |
|
| Dawn of the 5th World by hutchk | 5 years ago |
Oh yeah. You had me at electric piano. |
|
| After the Storm by hutchk | 5 years ago |
Yes. Are you sure you wanna give this music away for free? Sounds great! |
|
| Red Earth Acacia Sun by hutchk | 5 years ago |
This is great! Definitely great soundtrack material. This piece should accompany a Discovery Channel or National Geographic special. Great work! |
|
| How To Rob A Train In Under Two Minutes by nealbowen | 5 years ago |
| Well orange, while I appreciate your thoughtful analysis and your considerable production acumen you bring to bear, anymore to the piece might have compromised the integrity of the song title. You know, that "under two minutes" part of the title. | |
| The Look of Love by mbehar | 5 years ago |
Very Nice. |
|
| Mother by damris | 5 years ago |
Man, that's beautiful. I'm sure she can hear it and loves it. |
|
| Do You Believe by bigcarson | 5 years ago |
I believe! |
|
| Salida Del Sol by mbehar | 5 years ago |
Santana and Wallace Roney! Great work. "Softly as a Morning Sunrise" is such a nice melody. |
|
| Una Canzone Per Maria Bella by JD | 5 years ago |
Yeah! It's good without relying on flash or oddball instrumentation or anything like that. I wouldn't know anything about that though...er...uh...ahem. If I had any constructive criticism for this one, I'd say that it's almost too perfect. Rhythmically, it sounds a bit quantized. You might be ultra precise though too. I like the repetitive arpegiation. It's sort of Mod-Baroque. That probably doesn't make a lot of sense. I know what I mean. It's late. |
|
| Intimacy & Anonymity by JD | 5 years ago |
This is pretty cool. Guitars are cool for sure! Everything is. |
|
| Mad World (cover) by abeabe | 5 years ago |
If I didn't know what it was, I think it was Pink Floyd or something like that. Great sounds! Is that an upright piano recorded with some room kind of room mic? Well, cool stuff. I'm always a fan of the slightly abstract and unconventional. |
|
| Dance of the Ouzo by Filmscorz | 5 years ago |
Opa! |
|
| As I Am by kbxiong67 | 5 years ago |
Great work. Guitars sound great! |
|
| I'm living in Jesus Christ by saved777 | 5 years ago |
Beautiful and genuine. That's pretty rare these days. |
|
| Raktified Covers "Doctor?" (Doctor Who theme) by Surak | 5 years ago |
That is pretty dang cool! |
|
| Helios Progression by PlusUltra | 5 years ago |
Pure Stu Hamm. Nice work. A Kubicki must be the most recognizable bass guitar tone out there apart from maybe Jaco or Marcus, and even those can be faked pretty well if you know what you're doing. Though they remind me of spaceships, Kubicki basses are just fantastic. I could kick myself for selling mine. I think I will kick myself. |
|
| Fairy Dog Funk by PlusUltra | 5 years ago |
Sounds good to me! I don't think it needs anything else. |
|
| BOWLING ALLEY by wal4u | 5 years ago |
I used to bowl when I was in junior high! I scored a 283 once! My friend Donald actually bowled a perfect game. Got the ring and everything! I gave up and started focusing more on music. Oh well, hindsight 20/20. Sounds great! 5 stars all 'round! |
|
| Semblance-Music for String Quartet by Filmscorz | 5 years ago |
I think it sounds great. I guess the hardest thing to do is hear every little passage and catch notes overlapping. So what? The idea is there! |
|
| Blue in Green by Bill Evans (Cover) by mapmak | 5 years ago |
Cool. Kind Of Blue is such a good record. Well, you sound great. |
|
| Aveyron Beat by Polyglot | 5 years ago |
Yeah man! You put the "Hip" in Hypnotic. Like that? I just thought that up right then. Cool tune. Hope all is well. NB |
|
| BLUES FOR JUSTICE by Barretok | 5 years ago |
Killer! Should be used in a Quentin Tarantino film! NB |
|
| La Tradicion I by anotherjones | 5 years ago |
bad***!!! Trombone done right is the stuff!! |
|
| shootr the muse (collab) by plexaura | 5 years ago |
Just killer!! Maybe some Miles muted trumpet on top would be cool? |
|
| Solar by Miles Davis (Cover) by mapmak | 5 years ago |
Good work. Violin tone is really nice. |
|
| Blade Of Grass by PlusUltra | 5 years ago |
Mr. Bungle, Chili Peppers, 24-7 Spyz, I hear ya! Stank! |
|
| Get Yer Engine in the Kitchen by Baboon | 5 years ago |
Rock! It's like The Who and Styx got together and got into some 80's records and got inspired to write. |
|
| Give Yourself To Love!!! by itiswotitis | 5 years ago |
I wouldn't say funk, but it sure is cool. What do I know? Very cool. |
|
| PhilaRican by Scorp | 5 years ago |
I love it. It's got just a hint of pop-jazz/Yellowjackets in it. Nice! NB |
|
| MudBug Boogie by Scorp | 5 years ago |
Rockin' baby! Next stop: Austin City Limits! |
|
| OXJAM- Root Down by JD | 5 years ago |
I hear some STAX in there, a nod to "The Chicken" bass line, a little stank guitar...Let the Head-bopping commence. Greasy baby! |
|
| FUNKIER by wal4u | 5 years ago |
Great! Reminds me of some old Philospher Kings, a funky band from Canada. |
|
| Spiritual Solstice by pbassjams | 5 years ago |
 Cool. I'm not really qualified to review an Electronica tune with any realy criticism, but I like it. Get some Nine Inch Nails vocals going on over it and it'd really slam. NB |
|
| The Fugitive by dbailey | 5 years ago |
Cool! Reminds me of that late 80s/early 90s era guitar hero stuff-Like Satriani, Vai, and some of those guys. Better feel than Vai though for sure. -NB |
|
| The Trial Of Stevil Darkman (old) by StevilDarkman | 5 years ago |
Definitely Harry Potter-esque, but so what? John Williams didn't invent the celeste or halloween music for that matter. It's like Wagner. Pretty much the same theme throughout the piece, but that's cool. I like it. -NB |
|
| Overture (1) by Dickl | 5 years ago |
Cool piece. You had me at the farm animal noise. |
|
| Hiero by heartstrain | 5 years ago |
Very cool. I like it. I hope the book is a mystery novel set in the Middle East and Europe. |
|
| Speaking in Tongues by Polyglot | 5 years ago |
| By the way, it's extra funny when all these people that take themselves too seriously get on here anddrop you little 'raisins' like "your tune isn't the right style for the category." Check out some of these people's idea of jazz(not to mention spelling). | |
| Speaking in Tongues by Polyglot | 5 years ago |
This is cool. I always appreciate rap a lot more when it has some thoughtfulness and interesting sounds to it. Having said that, yours is solid and I don't hear any teaks...er, I mean leaks whatsoever. NB |
|
| Jaco's sky (never forget) by RANO | 5 years ago |
Never. |
|
| Best Of Friends by nealbowen | 5 years ago |
| Man Poly, I'm glad you caught that. I thought the guitar ostinato was the coolest thing about the whole thing. Thanks again. | |
| Perception (preview) by Everine | 5 years ago |
I love the electric piano all the way through. I don't think it needs acoustic piano as a lead. It stands on it's own pretty well. Perhaps something a little lighter like a flute, soprano sax, synth, guitar, or perhaps even...oh I don't know...electric bass in the upper register. I also imagine a "Rocco"-style bass line, but I hear that on lots of things. |
|
| Duke's Return (w/Vocals) by JD | 5 years ago |
This is bad***. This is actual real "composition" and not just screwing around. I get 30 minutes and crap something out just for fun. You guys really put some work into this, or at least I believe you have. Hats off. NB |
|
| The Delta of Venus (asupersexyfunkysonicspacetrip) by JD | 5 years ago |
My stinkface is in full effect. |
|
| Metamorphosis by IbanezDude321 | 5 years ago |
I like it. The first section sounds like it might work well in a film. Like the "reflective/redemption" portion of a film. The next section makes me of Starfox for N64. Why? It just does. Nice. I also like Dream Theater. Especially that cover album they did with the Dixie Dregs and Zeppelin stuff on it. |
|
| Chinese Waves old by AceNoface | 5 years ago |
I'm so down with a song inspired by fortune cookies. There is a nice dash of Fagen in there too. Nice. NB |
|
| Pachyderm Sunset by becwil | 5 years ago |
Cool! Free Jazz with a touch of Indian and and a smidge of Locrian mode? Right on! NB |
|
| A Lil' Bumpin' by JD | 5 years ago |
Very slinky. I love it! -NB |
|
| These Tears (Remix) by JD | 5 years ago |
A little bit Peter Gabriel, a little Sting, a little middle eastern vibe. What are those instruments? Is that an Oud? I could hear someone like Bobby McFerrin performing this one. |
|
| Clinton Avenue Cassanova by nealbowen | 5 years ago |
| I am humbled by your kind remarks my friends. It is indeed me playing live bass (Pedulla 4 string) run through a Motu 828, iComp Phaser, and 31 band Parametric EQ. -NB | |
| Come Back To Me- The Video by echoesbleeding | 5 years ago |
very cool. Great sounds and great video production. NB |
|
| Old MacDonald Symphonic Spectacular by 5pir | 5 years ago |
...and on this farm he had Jam Pack 4. Great work! |
|
| Overture Oblique: In dentibus anticis frustum magnum spiniciae habes by nealbowen | 5 years ago |
| Wow. That's a great compliment as well. Christmas Story must be one of my all time favorite films. Bless you and thanks for the kind words. NB |
|
| Drop You In The Toilet by jayman | 5 years ago |
| I think my wife likes this better than any of my compositions. She can't stop singing it. Any chance I could get the file of your daughter's vocal and do a classical or a jazz arrangement? | |
| iComp Theme (Majestic) by jayman | 5 years ago |
Cool. Tell Vangelis and Yanni to take a hike. That is a nice melody. |
|
| Drop You In The Toilet by jayman | 5 years ago |
Man, I love toilet humor! |
|
| Itches.. by MakenaMonk | 5 years ago |
Cool. Kinda like Robert Fripp & Adrian Belew, but with soul. -NB |
|
| What Exit? by Bob6stringer | 5 years ago |
Man, it sure is refreshing to hear some fun music. I'm so tired of these writers who take themselves way too seriously. I love this tune here. Very genuine and not one bit pretentious. Let me know if you want to put together a Jeff Beck cover band! -NB |
|
| Crimson Sunset [band] by Bob6stringer | 5 years ago |
Wow! I can imagine Jerry Garcia in the afterlife wishing he'd written something so cool. Very Grateful Dead-ish and fun! Love the guitar! |
|
| Overture Oblique: In dentibus anticis frustum magnum spiniciae habes by nealbowen | 5 years ago |
| Bob, you have officially bestowed the highest of compliments. To be lumped in with Frank, Aaron, and Igor? I think I can retire now. Bless you. -NB | |
| Jazz improv by Jazzdall | 5 years ago |
Right on! Keep at it. I recognize that drum loop too. -NB |
|
| Left Skewed by plexaura | 6 years ago |
Cool. Sounds like Adrian Belew killed Santana and is mocking him with this tune. I like it a lot. NB |
|
| Soup & Sandwich (original) by plexaura | 6 years ago |
Super cool! I love Galactic too. Very fun tune! Oh, and I like the finger noise. Imperfections make the music have some life. NB |
|
| New Movie Star (She's 11) by gsharp | 6 years ago |
Nice loop choice. Great job! -NB |
|
| Bassed Out Revisited by Z293 | 6 years ago |
Cool! Great all around! It was over a little too quick, wasn't it? Good gtr and bass tones. |
|
| Half Baked Blues by Scorp | 6 years ago |
Who says blues can't make you smile? Very cool. Sounds like it'd make a nice cut on a soundtrack for a film. Good traveling music. I like the bass tone a lot too. -NB |
|
| Drunk MONKyes 'Round Midnight by applegirl | 6 years ago |
Having worked for a number of drunk monkeys, and being drunk perhaps too often, I can honestly say that this is by far the best drunk monkey work in recent memory. I want more! |
|
| Neptune's Attic by nealbowen | 6 years ago |
| Move over Jimmy Haslip?? Well, I can't fit through the door anymore. My head is too big now. Thanks man. |
|
| Secret Love by nealbowen | 6 years ago |
| Hey everybody. Thanks for the positive feedback. Happy New Year to all of you! | |
| Secret Love by nealbowen | 6 years ago |
| Thanks so much for the kind words. If any of you guys have some ideas and want some bass on it, I'd like to check it out. | |
| Best Of Friends by nealbowen | 6 years ago |
| Thanks for the constructive comments. That B3 is the GB Circus Organ. It's the only GB organ sound I really like. | |
| Displaced Regression by nealbowen | 6 years ago |
| Well, I recorded the ostinato for six bars or something like that, and then looped it. I still try to use only drum loops, but I did throw in some guitar loops for texture. A bit like polishing a turd, isn't it? This started as and was intended to be ridiculous source music for a film project. It has been sitting around for a while, so I decided what the heck...throw it out there. On a different note, I need those piano souds that you've got. I feel pretty limited by GB. Logic has some pretty good sounds, but I need the real deal, you know? | |
| In Contempt by nealbowen | 6 years ago |
| Oh Jason... it's back. Show the love. -NB |
|
| I only went to second bass by joachim | 6 years ago |
Man, who doesn't love a nice Maj7 chord on the bass? Nice ending for sure. I dig the harmonics too. Nice tune. |
|
| I only went to second bass by joachim | 6 years ago |
Nice tone, nice ending for sure. I dig the harmonics too. Cool tune. |
|
| Everything Went Out My Window by JacobWasher | 6 years ago |
Very cool. Synclavier-like, in an "80s movie soundtrack" kind of way. I can dig it. |
|
| Havin' Fun by music_man | 6 years ago |
Cool. I dig that tone. Havin' Fun is a great title too. Why bother if it's not, right? Keep 'em comin'. |
|
| Beethoven Jazz by ssstebbe | 6 years ago |
Very nice. If only Beethoven could hear it. (That was wrong on multiple levels. Sorry.) |
|
| The Gathering by noodleheadpig | 6 years ago |
Man, this should be the new welcome music when you install a new Mac OS! Super cool! |
|
| Walking on Mars by LaFayette | 6 years ago |
Cool. It's got an "80's TV show" vibe, but much cooler. Very hip indeed. |
|
| Attack of the Groove Ducks by JacobWasher | 6 years ago |
I love ducks. Cool tune. I'm always a fan of the abstract. Keep 'em comin'. |
|
| Smoking Bossa by XTN | 6 years ago |
Heck yeah! Headhunters meets Rippingtons. This should be in a video game, and I mean that in the the most sincere way. Excellent. |
|
| Voices in the Ether by kristyjo | 6 years ago |
Now that's true alternative. Who needs instruments with vocals like that? Beautiful. Enya, schmenya. |
|
| Song of India cmpsed by N. Rimsky Korsakow by andreahoffman2 | 6 years ago |
Beautiful piece and interesting choice. So what if they're not entirely your compositions. It's your iComposition, so there. Nice work. |
