| Drunk Girl Crying by Blacklilyorchard | 4 months ago |
| Last time I posted 6 years ago... I couldn't say anything has changed... There is something haunting and sad, yet cleansing and comforting about this melody and performance. You touched something inside of me. Again... thanks for sharing it with us. | |
| Ohio by ziti | 9 months ago |
 Tight as hell, yet with the just the right amount of relaxed, in-the-zone feeling. My kind of stuff... yes, the 60s and early 70s did in fact call, but only to give a huge salute to you guys for carrying the banner of real rock into this century. Guitar and piano are stellar, and while the vocal mix could have been a smidge cleaner or a nudge forward, the vocal harmonies were just about perfect, so nice to listen to. Wish I had been there for the show, but Oregon is a long ways away. This is a real treat and will get constant rotation in my playlist. |

| I enjoyed this very much. Thanks for taking this off the shelf and sharing. The expressive vocals and Marc's additions make for a lovely moment. I'm sure he would have been proud. -phil |

| Earthbound by ScottCarmichael | 1 year ago |
Everything is put together so well, and it's so heartfelt. Thanks for another addition to my amazing Scott Carmichael collection, music I always turn to for contemplation and inspiration. Yes, the drums are just right, lots of feeling, perfectly balancing the song from soft to powerful. The bass work is also stellar. I always love your acoustic playing, this doesn't need anything else, but I have no doubt that if you added some electric guitar it would be tasteful and I'd love to hear that, too. 5 stars don't do this justice. -Phil |

| Einarus's STEPPING DOWN by ziti | 1 year ago |
Beautiful tune with passionate guitar. Makes a late night slide by so much better. |

| Simply amazing! | |
| Sleep by ScottCarmichael | 1 year ago |
| Thanks for posting this song... it is just beautiful. I think all of us can share this sense of deep sadness, and you've put a strong voice to it. | |
| the clap (Steve Howe) by ScottCarmichael | 1 year ago |
| I believe I'd be doing this song a disservice to even rate it... it's just a fabulous piece of work, and your old fingers still have the art of music flowing from them better than ever. Love this one so much, Scott. Just... Wow! | |
| Land of the Bonxies by eagle | 1 year ago |
| I am deeply saddened by this... I didn't know Marc had passed. He was one of my inspirations here on iComp, and I'm grateful to have collaborated with him on a song. Marc is the person I sent the iComp flag to in Luxembourg, and I am grateful to have known him in some small way in my life. I will always remember you, Marc. -your friend, Phil |

| Belize's Blue Hole by IanCarey | 1 year ago |
Five stars all around... a gorgeous layering of sounds. The background electric guitar/instrument that comes in around the halfway mark is subtle, but powerful. Awesome mix of the piano and electronic synths swirling around. This is a very aurally spacious, a delight to the senses. I should have come by a long time ago... downloaded, favorited! -phil |
|
| Before The Storm by pdxflint | 1 year ago |
Hey IanC... thanks for dropping by. I haven't been too active here for awhile, but hope to get back into it more soon. Photography has gotten in the way...  I should head over to your playlist and get happy...! Good to hear from you.-phil |

| Rising from Underwater by AMBRADUNA | 1 year ago |
| Beautiful soundtrack. Contemplative atmosphere that carries the imagination into the vast spaces of the ocean. Very nice work, Rino! -phil |
|
| Moment In Between (Then and Now) by pdxflint | 2 years ago |
| Thanks a lot mate... I have been good, although busy in my photography more of late than the music... I want to put the two things (music and photography) together. Some of your songs are perfect for soundtracks for vids or combo stills and video (slideshow/movie...) Maybe one day I'll ask if I can borrow some... Hope things are going good in Sydney, and the hifi store is a huge success. I'd love to see it... stay safe on your bike, mate, and we'll connect soon. all the best -phil |
|
| BROTHERS IN TIME by KCsGROOVE | 2 years ago |
| This is warm, rhythmic and soulful... as mentioned many times, very Knopfler-esque in sound. Lovely understated guitar licks keep the movement going forward. Mark Knopfler is one of my favorite musicians of all time, and this tune would fit right into his catalog easily. Excellent collaboration guys. KC, your vocals are perfect here. The whole production is Top Notch!! Thanks for sharing. -phil |
|
| New "VIDA LIBRE" by AMBRADUNA | 2 years ago |
E un presente piacevole e. Realmente gradico il ritmo e le chitarre sono fantastiche. E molto piacevole sentirvi cantare in lingua spagnola. Spiacente se il mio italiano non e cosi buono. Tutto il meglio voi. -phil |
|
| Before The Storm by pdxflint | 2 years ago |
Hi there Rino... good hearing from you. I've been pretty busy the last few months, so I haven't been around much here. Hopefully that will change now. Thanks for the nice words, my friend.  |
|
| Before The Storm by pdxflint | 2 years ago |
| Cheers KC!! Thanks for having a listen! |

| Before The Storm by pdxflint | 2 years ago |
| thanks FE, Proliferousrose and pharmakeus... much appreciated. I'm not familiar with the Dr Elvis song you mentioned. I'll search it out and give it a listen. |

| Into The Escalante by pdxflint | 2 years ago |
| Thanks Scott-- your words mean a lot. | |
| A NIGHT IN BALI by imadesentana | 2 years ago |
I love the tabla... it reminds me so much of my childhood in Indonesia... and Made, it's great hearing your voice. All the best over the Christmas season down there in your beautiful homeland. -phil |
|
| Land Of The Unseen by imadesentana | 2 years ago |
Beautiful blend of modern electronic sounds, exotic rhythms and traditional instruments/voices. It's very mesmerizing... takes me back to my childhood in your country... terima kasih, Made! -p |

|
| dark sparkle by IanCarey | 2 years ago |
Not only is it dark sparkle, it's a trip into deep space. A very meditative ambient journey. I really like the bass and understated percussion. At times when the bass undercurrent comes back it just sort of hypnotizes. Are you sure you aren't a wizard...? Anyway, I'm really glad to see you back at it and making more really cool music, Ian.-phil |
|
| Down At Jimmy Mak's by pdxflint | 2 years ago |
| Merci, Jerome... ...and C Man, Ian, Skean, CharlyDee, Made, Kevin, Xolv, Pharmakeus and Rex. I appreciate all of your comments very much. Thanks -phil |
|
| Pescadero Sunrise by pdxflint | 2 years ago |
| Always great to hear from you, Ian. Thanks for the compliment. I only wish I could make music halfway as great as yours... seriously! | |
| Give Me The Beat Back by archie7777 | 2 years ago |
Cool dance track, Jerome... dig it! -phil |
|
| after the storm by IanCarey | 2 years ago |
It's music that gets inside you, then expands into a great space. My eyes are closed, I am calm. Another very nice one, Ian. -phil |
|
| Eagle eyes by blueprintorchestra | 2 years ago |
Evokes a very strong image of nature, of high country, clear and bracing. I feel as if I am riding the air currents on mighty wings in broad spirals surveying all of my world. There is a beauty... and a haunting touch of sadness in this. This is a lovely piece of music. -phil |
|
| six month submersion by IanCarey | 2 years ago |
Just what I needed today... great meditative medicine. Ambient music extraordinaire! I love the way the rhythm pulses, at times barely below the surface, rising up to dance around in a spacial tease, then slipping back below the surface. I enjoyed this a lot. A fave. Thanks for the download, Ian. Good to have you back making great music. -phil |
|
| Find Him by ScottCarmichael | 2 years ago |
I've always loved your first version of this song, but you've realized your vision with this track. The whole track just grabs me, and won't let go! Bless you, Scott, for such incredible musicianship and a knowing heart. Dane and Ben nailed it! An all-time favorite! -phil |
|
| shock the monkey by eagle | 2 years ago |
| Such a great job with this... and a great tribute to Marc. I've always loved his music. Marc, if you read this... get well, my friend. The world needs more of your music. And Eagle, such a heartfelt and powerful vocal performance. Bravo! -phil |
|
| Agora ao Mar by AMBRADUNA | 2 years ago |
Nice contrast from beginning to end. Definitely a very cool, very grooving track, especially the second half when the rhythms kick in. Great production and mix, and the bass line is awesome. A fave! cheers, -phil |
|
| Same Shaker by ScottCarmichael | 2 years ago |
I'm on my feet, bouncing around like a crazy fool grooving to this tune. Awesome vocal delivery, nice tight arrangement! Love it! -phil |
|
| Oh Come Emanuel by ScottCarmichael | 2 years ago |
| Brings tears to my eyes... | |
| Mercy by ScottCarmichael | 2 years ago |
| Incredible rock styling, unique, powerful vocals. Sure, there are shades of others like Fogelberg here, but having heard a few of your songs lately (I'm immersing myself in your music - it's just that good and perfect for my life) I'd have to say what I hear most of all... is Scott Carmichael - a true and pure artist with a voice all his own. You've enriched my life, and I thank you, Scott. Cheers -phil | |
| My Hope by ScottCarmichael | 2 years ago |
You are an inspiration to aspiring musicians, songwriters and hopeful people everywhere. Another amazing song from an amazing artist. All the best, Scott. Thanks for sharing your gift. |
|
| Wayfarin' Stranger by ScottCarmichael | 2 years ago |
When I first heard "Find Him" I was blown away... maybe it was a couple of years ago. For some reason my life has kept me from coming back to listen to more of your other songs - until yesterday. Now I realize one of the important things missing in my life... was right here. You always find a way to touch the spirit, the heart, and soul. Thanks |
|
| Let it go (David Wilcox) by ScottCarmichael | 2 years ago |
| Thank you so much for this song. You have given all of us a real gift. | |
| Homeland by ScottCarmichael | 2 years ago |
| I won't rate a song like this... it's truly touching and full of love. I haven't lost a parent yet...but I have lost a few friends over the last year or two. I'm lucky enough to be spending time with my dad while he's still healthy and active - he's 82. I treasure this song, it makes me pause... and realize we need to never wait to hug our parents, and tell them how much we love them. Bless you, Scott. I'm sure your dad's smiling every time he hears this song... | |
| Oasis by ScottCarmichael | 2 years ago |
I didn't hear the older version... this one works. I think a lot of us can relate to the lyrics of this. I'm on a roll here with your music... it's all making my day a lot brighter. Thanks! |
|
| PERFECT STORM by ScottCarmichael | 2 years ago |
I have few words to add... but I love this song! You're a true artist in every way, Scott. |
|
| So Much More by ScottCarmichael | 2 years ago |
Great message, heartfelt lyrics... |
|
| Glimpses by ScottCarmichael | 2 years ago |
Your music is unique, and moves me greatly. There is such a charm and light to your harmonies. I should have found this one a couple of years ago, but better late than never...! |
|
| Good Morning by ScottCarmichael | 2 years ago |
This is just such a delight. I really needed this this morning. Love the whole thing, guitar, vocals...lyrics. Thanks for this gift. |
|
| Don't Get Lost by Skean | 2 years ago |
This is so beautiful! The atmospherics and FX just flow, and touch a place deep down inside. I love the moodiness, and the acoustic guitar riffs in the last third are just perfect. Thanks for sharing, and keep on creating this music from your soul. -phil |
|
| FATIGUE by blueprintorchestra | 2 years ago |
| Beautiful ambiance... would work well as an original film score. Meditative, contemplative... but in the end... uplifting. -phil |
|
| In The Heart's Mind (I remember you) by pdxflint | 2 years ago |
| I definitely appreciate you stopping by for a listen and the nice support, C/S... -phil |
|
| Take Me On by pharmakeus | 2 years ago |
| I'm just glad there are still folks making music like this... really, really dig it. It's just so real... so organic... so rockin'!! Crazy Horse, now you guys! | |
| eastern fairy dance by telecaster29 | 2 years ago |
Thanks for the heads-up on this... it's really very interesting. I really like the interaction between the forward moving beat and the eastern tabla beat. This song blends two personalities in a very creative merge. During the intro part, I was setting myself up for a certain kind of experience, then the beat and bass kicked in - and I knew it was going to get really interesting. I was captured, and it didn't disappoint - there were more surprises along the way. This is a dense, complex, beautiful piece of music. My only suggestion... ahem... .. shorten the fadeout. Even if you let it go a bit for the effect, 45 seconds or so, just not several minutes - it messes with the playlists, etc... |
|
| Indian Bidis by imadesentana | 2 years ago |
Wadu..! Bagus sekali! Apa kabar, Made? This is so cool, and has that perfect energy and south Asian flavor. Did the late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan come back and collab with you...? It makes me want to light up a chocolate bidi and get down with it.cheers -phil |
|
| narcoleptic by telecaster29 | 2 years ago |
I really like this... it grows on me the more I listen. The interplay between the mellow guitar tones and the 'nervous' energy of the drums as the song progresses becomes more and more hypnotic. It's a really unique and fine piece of music. Definitely a fave for me. I'm glad I got a chance to hear this...and to add it to my collection of ambient, late-night vibes. -phil |
|
| Night Flight - (Surrender Remix) by pdxflint | 2 years ago |
| Thanks Kevin... what's interesting is that when I did this way back when I just built the background, and then ad-libbed the piano part... it always sounded rough and amateurish to me - but then I'm not a real "player" so there's that basic fact. It was always more about the feeling, kind of an emotional rising, until a sort of peak or apex was reached, then the glide down... much like the flight I described in the intro. I don't think there's really enough structure to it to actually 'fix' it, if you know what I mean (referring to the latest version...) Anyway, I appreciate your take on this. cheers -phil |

| HESPERIDES (Fortune Islands) by AMBRADUNA | 2 years ago |
Rino... I can't tell you in words adequate enough... how much I love this song. Emotionally it strikes deep into the core of my heart, and I will treasure this one forever...you are a truly gifted, spiritual man and artist! thank you! -phil |

| Teach Your Children /Landslide Morph (w/AnnaRouge & Pharmakeus) by RubyDubidoux | 2 years ago |
| Ruby, absolutely genuine and original take on a coupla classics... love your singing and self-harmonies, and your fellow collaborators, Anna and Pharmakeus filled in all the gaps perfectly. I'm keeping a copy for my own. -p | |
| Down At Jimmy Mak's by pdxflint | 2 years ago |
| Hey Beatle128... thanks for the feedback. I realize there's a huge difference in how something sounds on headphones vs studio monitors, and especially smaller speakers in radios or laptop built-ins. I need to study more about how to utilize the right compression and levels for a good overall mix - it's definitely an art and I've got a ways to go. Anyway, I appreciate the feedback from a very useful perspective..! Cheers -p |

| Down At Jimmy Mak's by pdxflint | 2 years ago |
| Thanks a lot for your generous comments, Debdj and Uncle Moe. I really appreciate both of you stopping by for a listen. Cheers -phil | |
| DARKSIDE OF THE CITY. by TheMarsupial | 3 years ago |
This is really top-notch - great performances all around. It's definitely going in my heavy rotation playlist. BTW: It's completely socially acceptable work. There's always someone in the crowd who doesn't get metaphorical content. Just ignore it, and keep the music coming. It sounds great. |
|
| Down At Jimmy Mak's (Remix) by blueprintorchestra | 3 years ago |
Great remix, Marc. All the elements you brought to the party, piano, vocals, synth and Spanish guitar, give an incredible flavor to this piece. All credit belongs to you, no doubt. -p |
|
| Down At Jimmy Mak's by pdxflint | 3 years ago |
| Hi Marc - I just PM'd you. Feel free to add to the track. It would be great to see some more piano and vocals... and whatever else you want to do. Hi Alan, KC and Mandika. Thanks for your really nice comments. Alan, I'd like to catch you guys playing in Portland sometime... will you be playing the Saturday Market this year. Anyway, there's nothing like a sunny day in PDX... |

| YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT LOVE IS (smooth) by pedroberto | 3 years ago |
Pure class...! The incredible, nuanced vocals, warm vibe and stunning horns fashioned a masterpiece. Makes me smile one moment... and feel melancholy the next. Bravo! -phil |
|
| TCB: on the way to Shibuya by ponkey | 3 years ago |
I'm only halfway through listening to this track, and I'm just smiling - it's that good. I love the rhythm, background riffs, rough guitar leads and the processed vocals, all of it. It's the perfect length, and in this case, the ending fade is just the right touch. I think this would have done well commercially - as long as it had pub. Anyway, I'm definitely interested in hearing what else you got up your sleeve from this 'album.' Cheers -phil |
|
| Down At Jimmy Mak's by pdxflint | 3 years ago |
| Thanks a lot, ponkey. Yeah, it's very helpful. I was thinking the same thing about that 70's-ish synth, that it really needed to jump out more in front. You made some great suggestions, and I think I'll keep playing with the mix a bit/panning and try out what you said. Anyway, it'll be fun to mess with the recipe... |
|
| May Day 1886 by FrozenEntropy | 3 years ago |
| Another stellar, excellently crafted piece of wonderment. Unmistakeably infused with the FE signature sound. It goes into my heavy rotation playlist immediately. | |
| Riffalicous by Filmscorz | 3 years ago |
I love the tone on your trumpet. Nice vibe here... very cool yet warm at the same time. Definitely good to hear some jazziness around here. |
|
| Heist by LGZEE | 3 years ago |
| I love the rhythmic drive... you have a really good instrumental guitar sound. I think this song really sets up a nice foundation/bed for additional tracks/mixing to flesh it out. | |
| The Spitting Image of Life by Stygian_White | 3 years ago |
I'm halfway through listening to this, and it's already a favorite of mine. I'm a big Trentemoller fan, and electronic chill music in general. Thx for the download. This one's going into my late night/road trip playlists. Since it's from loops, what series/collection is it from - I might like to check them out for some remixing. |
|
| hangin with lola 2009 by IanCarey | 3 years ago |
| Ian, it's good to have you back - it's been awhile. This song takes me to a magical place, a place of childhood innocence, dancing fairies and stories from once upon a time... very nice layering of the guitar and other instruments. It's a keeper. As always, all the best. -phil |
|
| In The Heart's Mind (I remember you) by pdxflint | 3 years ago |
| Hi Ian. Thanks for commenting, and the cool feedback. Sometimes I forget this song is still here. I will say that when I did this one, some of my mixing and other skills were pretty lame... it truly just came from some moments of contemplation... and memories. I may take a look at remixing this. The idea of sustain on the piano is a good one. Glad you stopped by. Cheers -phil |

| TANAH LOT PAGODA by AMBRADUNA | 3 years ago |
A really beautiful meditative piece that speaks of this sacred place. I have been to Bali and this music would be amazing to have while spending some time there. This song is one I will listen to many times. Thanks for sharing it Rino. -phil |

| THE BEST ONE by Hunksten Proudfoot | 3 years ago |
It's a catchy tune, no doubt. Really like the vocals and the overall mix. Are we hearing you singing, Hunk? Overall... very fun, cool and full of that HP quirkiness . Is this part of a new album?Great to hear some new original music from you, mate! |
|
| Middle Age by blueprintorchestra | 3 years ago |

|
| I Delight in You by Bulerias | 3 years ago |
| Hey, Tim... just caught this. Thanks for the PM heads up. And whatever you do... don't stop now! Keep the real deal coming. I know what you're saying about the style isn't typical of your personal compositions, etc. but it's really good. Of course I gravitate to the kind of music you are so good at, but as a music lover in general there is not a style that I don't like, when it's done with energy and the love of the performance. I'm really glad you posted this, and my favorite part is of course the guitar after the sax... !! Cheers, and good to hear some more from you. -phil |
|
| SWEET 16 Acoustic by Bulerias | 3 years ago |

| Shadows by beforebeyond | 3 years ago |
I love the ringing guitars in this mix. There's not much I can add that hasn't been said, but to simply say I love your musical style. The emotion rings true. This song, and your others, are better than a lot of stuff on major labels. Keep up the songwriting and singing - you're very talented. |
