Description : Not very sure which genre to place this track...
Track features the beautiful vocals of AM Valentine... A gem of a vocal track. A shout to progressiverullez from this site for the mastering and to the 'Man Name Duffus' for the arranging input.
This is an interpretation of an old Captain and Tenille track. A long time guilty pleasure, I had an idea to eviscerate it and find the dark corners of a pop classic...

The best rock song I've heard on this site. To be fair, I haven't heard that many, but this is really, really good. The bassline, the atmosphere, the vocals - all excellent. Just love the mood of this.
2nd review as more thoughts struck:
Backing is dark, almost Goth, atonal disturbing, total deconstruction of the original, stripped of the confetti and candy floss, this is a menacing, brooding take on something, more Dexter (involvement in the macabre and digging it) than any love story boy/girl thing. Modern brutalism of the bass is superb, reminding me of a slowed down Clash, Paul Simenon quasi Dub bass via Jah Wobble, in post-modern minimalism. Drums with shakers, tambourine and percussion sound good, especially crack of the snare, but more editing out to give light & shade and let those scything chops of electroshock guitar do their work. Also reminds me of Portishead.
2. Her Vocals! Why is she not famous already? This is Sandy Denny's evil twin sister, some PJ Harvey in there too, but then again, totally original; the vocals will stand more of the backing doing less, but the backing is fine in itself. Spine=chilling voice
What a mean bass line; it drives the piece along, I like that chugging guitar that comes in half way through that fleshes out the notes. Vocals are great - what a voice. Hard to classify into genre but amazing stuff and a firm favourite of a song I would never have believed I would listen to with any great pleasure until now. The dark side of desire

John... Thanks for your considered review and the fav. This track is one of my personal fav's... I wasn't sure what reaction it'd get given it's origins ... A guilty pleasure made public. I'm really impressed by the words of encouragement that flow here. Thanks again
Agree to Jamscience, this song is catching you, no chance to escape. Absolutely great stuff! Very good progressing.
Definite shades of Björk in there :). Good job!
Thanks a lot hirogenium... I'm humbled by your review... to have it compared to the genius that is Bjork pleases me. AM Bird will be so pleased her vocals are going down well here.

Hi, saw this in the top window and the title caught me. After the intro I was thinking w.t.f! but as the tune progressed I was hooked. Its so off the wall its on the ceiling!lol! wicked bassline underpinning the track and tasty vox as well. Would have liked to heard a bit more of AM Bird as she got a little lost in the mix a couple of times but this is the best cover of a cap and T song ever. definite shades of Sonic Youth in there. Well done!

Description : This is my newest creation, at a stage very near to completion. No third-party mastering or mixing, as with all my tracks. Just have to fix a few tiny things. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO MIX EVERYTHING IN THE SAME SESSION. This song has all human-played instruments - no quantization or MIDI! My brother does all the vocals except for the interlude part, which I do. My other brother plays the rhythm guitar (a Gibson Les Paul Custom - only one of 12 in the world!!) and I play the accompanying guitar (a Johnny Mar Jag and PRS). He has a lot of guitars :P A good friend of ours, Ronnie, plays the bass and another friend, Freddie, plays the drums. The drum track was done in one take (had to use an electric drum set due to time constraints - but acoustic kits are so much better). Overall, pretty satisfied with the result. Let me know your thoughts.
Description : Feel free to check out the lyrics video on YT as well :) This is a new track based on the great vocals by Ashes and Dreams! Again, a mix of electronic/progressive/rock, any feedback is welcome
Description : The first track I sing on. Cheap stage mic & no fancy plugins. Heavily guitar laden to the point it's got a bit of a shoegaze thing going on. I pulled the lyrics out of my ass & yes, they're a bit silly.
Description : This song was not supposed to be the fourth track of "Diverse waves", but it finally is. Anyway it's a rock oriented track with some interesting sounds. I hope you like it. Worked in zenbeats DAW, by Roland.
Description : BIG UPDATE 26/02/2014 - So, this was an 18 min track that I have now successfully split in two. 2nd half I uploaded a few weeks ago (Things That Should Always Be, with the bouncy 2 min reggae intro). This is the first half, which has a new mix, a mega chill, meditative ending and a little jazz thrown in for good measure. Takes a few minutes for beat to really kick in. Constantly evolving electric guitar, bass guitar, acoustic drums and lead banjo driven by fat, busy 80BPM grooves with a bit of a reggae and shuffle feel. Also: synth choir voices, dulcimer, violin, cello, shimmering pads. Builds up gradually to nice and rocking and then gets taken back down for the big comedown chill. I really don't know what sort of genre this is except 'far out'. I think it sounds more like a live band than one guy playing instruments and manipulating a DAW. Not my best track but a bit of blissful, sunny island fun. Real positive vibe here so I hope you give it a chance to unfold and unfurl. Sit back, clear your schedule and immerse yourself in these trippy sonic experiments cooked up deep in my off-planet underground laboratory. I have to send the MP3 to Earth via space courier (not cheap).
Description : This track was like the inhale after an exhale of aggressive industrial-electro-sludge tracks that I had put out that summer and fall. This was the more reserved, and introspective winter track. It's nothing spectacular, but I still really enjoy it. I hope you do too. Take care. V.
