on Ambiguity by guitarjock

This track is solid from top to bottom. No weaknesses anywhere. Drums sound like you were playing a real set, the guitar work is off the charts, and your synth work is stellar. It's hard to pick which instrument you play the best.....you excel at all of them. Top notch work on this one. You definitely have mad skills. I enjoyed the hell out of this one. Faved for sure.

on Wont Keep Looking by Naruko

You certainly don't disappoint do you? Another really well done song. This one has a more complicated vocal, but you pull it off like a real professional. The only critique I have is I would love another verse or two (but I'm greedy that way).

I would say you are two for two, and we are all ready for more from you.

Wonderful treatment on the mix as well. Really well done.

Naruko replied Unknown

woaaaah, thanks! i was actually thinking of re-recording this one, i felt it sounded a little off, or rushed. not sure. if I do, i might be inclined to add another verse, most of my songs tend to be short or choppy. Thanks so much for your time and words. the support i get here is amazing, without it I don't think i'd keep up making music.

on Let Me Down Easy by Naruko

Nothing like setting the bar really, really, really high with your first song, haha. This is exceptional work. I love the unplugged feel to this one, it seems more intimate.

Like you are sharing secrets with us.

Your voice has great control, pitch, and emotion. And a special warmth to it.

Keep singing. You have huge talent and ability. Bravo.

Naruko replied Unknown

Oh wow. thank you so much! This review made my whole week. And whenever I write, the 'setting the bar high' comment pops in my head and reminds me to really try hard.

I was really going for what you described and so you saying it really helps me to know what I'm doing right. :D

on FaithNameless by sumerlin

Nice work on this one. I was surprised when I saw on your profile that you don't play the guitar, and that this one is composed of loops. Shows a great deal of arranging skills on your part, something I don't think I could pull off. Great production as well. Keep at this. Who knows, you just might be the guy in the studio telling the musicians what to do, haha. Great job.

sumerlin replied Unknown

hello jerry! i could not belive you just said that!!! Thank you shortBUS!!! YES! nice review. awsome glad you ejoyed it! just whent loopy on it. thanks a billion cus a million just is not enough
peace!

on Melody Sample by Becca

I love your piano work, it shows you have true ability. This is really nice. I wouldn't make too many changes, especially if you are going to lay vocals down. That could change everything, specifically the dynamics. It seems when I load up a track as an instrumental, then add vocals, I always end up taking out half of the stuff I put in, haha.

Regardless, this is a perfectly chilled track. Well done.

Becca replied Unknown

thx alot i really appreciate the review

on unknown filmscore part 1 by thyroid

This is tremendous. Your mix gives a feeling of depth, almost like I'm standing at the edge of a great chasm, leaning over...not far enough to fall, but enough to know that another fraction of an inch and I'm in trouble.

Masterful use of the percussion section. It enhances the feel and is a great lead in to the plaintive wail of the guitar.

This is drama at its finest and definitely a favorite. It belongs in a movie.

Marvelous!!

thyroid replied Unknown

thank you very much for this great review, i must say that i am very proud of this track. Thanks again for the time to listen and fav

on Riding The Rails Part 2 by brassmonkeyltd

Staying with the oriental theme (at least for my reviews), this one brings me to a trip on the Tokaido Line, probably one of the most beautiful 4 hour trips one can take on a bullet train in Japan.

This is rapidly becoming a really nice saga :) I hope there is at least a trilogy for us to enjoy.

Much respect for a wonderful job on these. A great way to start my Friday.

brassmonkeyltd replied Unknown

thank you very much, i'm glad you enjoyed these pieces. what a nice start to my friday! lol. trilogy you say? well....stay stuned for more!

ShortBusMusic 10th Dec 2010 17:08 - 14 years ago

on Riding The Rails Part 1 by brassmonkeyltd

Beautiful. This has an oriental feel to it, especially in the beginning. It brought forth visions of Kenrokuen Garden in Japan, considered to be one of the three most beautiful in the world.

Kenrokuen Garde was first established in the 17th century by the feudal lords of Kaga as their private garden. The name Kenrokuen means Ã¢â‚¬ËœSix Attributes GardenÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ which is thought to be the perfect garden if it has these six attributes. They are; spaciousness, seclusion, artifice, antiquity, water-courses and panoramas.

I find those six attributes in this piece. Well done sir. And now I am off to listen to part two.

brassmonkeyltd replied Unknown

wow! thank you so much for listening to this. i worked hard on this one. would love to visit japan one day.

on Warm Space by Crewzer

Wow, this is so good. Seriously, the piano work is exceptional. But there are other elements in this that really compliment the piano voicing. This isn't some amateur's attempt at making a song. This is professional from start to finish.

If you aren't famous,

you should be.

Straight to favorites with this one. Bravo.

Crewzer replied Unknown

Thank you immensely for your kind words. I would love to make a living doing this! Your words are very inspiring, again thank you.

on progression by thyroid

Man, I love cello. There is something about that instrument that puts it on a higher plain. While violins are special, it is the cello that is the superstar of the string section.

There is some real suspense in this piece.

I love the build up in the middle section. It evokes thoughts of a train traveling through the countryside, its destination unknown.

The true test of a cinematic piece is this - can it stand on its own, without visual aids, and paint a mental picture for the listener. This one certainly meets and exceeds that test. Bravo for a well thought out, and brilliantly written song.

thyroid replied Unknown

thank you very much for this great review.
And thanks for enjoying this alot.

on Heaven by Blume by BlumeChoon

Really nice relaxing track. Definitely a great track to unwind to at the end of a really long day. There are some really special elements in this.

I'll be honest, I am not a huge fan of the bass on it...I think it detracts from the mood a tad, but that's just my uninformed opinion - but I'm just nit picking here.

It is stellar work. Thanks for posting it for us to enjoy.

BlumeChoon replied Unknown

Thanks I appreciate your honesty... I agree a bit.. The bass is a lil to over powering but I like the feel you get from it... I still got this up on my daw so I might have to look into changing the bass maybe??? I respect your constructive view points... Appreciate it!!!

Blume:)

on I Dont Need You Anymore by Sourgirl

You have a great feel for jazz and it is terrific that you are keeping it alive on the Loop. I too enjoy the "live" feel on this track. I really like the piano in this, it has that old, slightly out of tune, vibe going. All in all, you should be very proud of this track. Really nice work.

ShortBusMusic 8th Dec 2010 18:54 - 14 years ago

on Distant Mistakes by Express77

Very nice. Is that you on the guitar? If so, much respect. Great bass lines, and really, really nice rhythm guitar work. Nice track to take a drive down the highway with, hehehe. Again, really nice work.

ShortBusMusic 8th Dec 2010 17:14 - 14 years ago

on Breath With Me by The Writers Poet ft Imaijen by TheWritersPoet41

Very nice. This track really is well done. I would bring your vocals forward in the mix. As Thethanx said, they really are the focal point on this so it would be nice to have them front and center. But that is minor nit picking on my part. Great backing track (kudos to Protege) and great female vox (props to imajen). I'd say this one is a keeper. Well done.

TheWritersPoet41 replied Unknown

Thanks for review the track it's one of my fav and i will be the better quailty on here later

ShortBusMusic 8th Dec 2010 17:10 - 14 years ago

on Where I Wanna Be by imajen

I'm back for seconds :)

Another stellar effort from you on this one. Great backing track and considering you do all of this in your apartment, it's a really nice production. I like the quality of your voice. You could bring the verb down a tab, but all in all, you should be proud of this one.

Well done!

ShortBusMusic 8th Dec 2010 17:06 - 14 years ago

on Melody produced by Becca by imajen

Wow young lady, you have some mad vocal skills. Great backing track, but the vocal work is what sets this one apart. I would think you would be in high demand here on the Loop. With you and AJ on here, we just might have cornered the market on great RnB singers. Wonderful.

ShortBusMusic 8th Dec 2010 16:52 - 14 years ago

on The Road Home (update) by AllenV

I think all of us have our heroes when it comes to acoustic guitar. This reminds me of Tommy Emmanuel, which puts you in very special company.

The beauty of acoustic guitar is there is nothing to hide behind...no distortion, no Fx, no nothing.

There are songs that are special, and then there are songs that are SPECIAL. This is one of the latter.

Faved and all I can do is stand and applaud.

Beautiful work, no.... stunningly beautiful work.

AllenV replied Unknown

Wow!Thanks so very much my friend,I wish I could live in a state of inspiration that was there when I recorded this.It was everything coming together at the same time cause you're right..it's just yourself and the instrument.
I don't deserve your awesome comments but i'll tell you that I do appreciate it so much because I did put my heart into it and I'm so pleased that it was heard that way,i'm a strong believer in trying to create a feeling and emotion first in music...there's always room for the fun songs and we all play and love them,I'm just happy to occasionally get it right and move someone :)
Thanks again,

Allen

on The Lonely Toreador by theHumps

This reminds me of my youth in Wyoming, when it was legal to drink at the ripe old age of 18, and some of the nights I spent in the Silver Spur Bar. Man, what a nasty place that was, but the beer was cold and cheap, and that was all that counted.

The place was full of cowboys all the time, smoking Pall Malls, reeking of horses. Deep lines etched in their faces as they stared into their drinks. These were real tough guys that would just as soon kick your you know what as look at you, hahaha. I miss those times.

Thanks for bringing back my youth, if only for 2 minutes and 53 seconds. A masterful job.

theHumps replied Unknown

I love when music takes you back to a certain period in your life, certain songs do that for me too. I can't hear Jose Feliciano's version of Light My Fire without it bringing me back to a child of about 4 y.o., sitting in the backseat of the car waiting to pick up my Dad from work.funny.

Thanks for stopping by,

Wayne

on I Got Myself A Bad Boy by aliyarose

Nice current message (sounds like my daughters' experiences with the bad boys, haha), sung extremely well. I love the punk vibe on this one. Great band, great vocals, great song. You definitely have mad skills. Well done!

ShortBusMusic 7th Dec 2010 16:13 - 14 years ago

on Frozen by Steinaa

WTF??? How can a track with 467 plays only garner 2 reviews??? I have no clue why people who listen can't take a few minutes to drop a comment.

This is really good. Well constructed, great guitar work, and it is set up nicely for vocals. I don't know if he has time, but Matt Beer (theonetruebrew) on here has a great voice. You might drop him a line and see if he's interested. Great build around the 2:00 mark and then again at the 2:45.

This is quality metal. Keep playing and for those of you listening to this, drop a damn review.

Steinaa replied Unknown

Hey again ShortbusMusic :)
Always a pleasure reading your reviews, you're def not one of them who just writes "good song", and I like that.

I've been doing several tunes with Matt during my time here - you should check them out if you like his stuff :) We did a metal-colab a while back called Provoking.

link here:

Matt sure has some serious talent, but not the right singer for my heavier stuff - I think its a matter of taste :)
He also have more songs on his profile that we did together btw.

And thank you for the great words on my work on this one. I was hoping someone would grab it and add vocals, but noone ever did. Ahwell, just gotta make them better then ;)

Thanks again mate, have a nice evening!

on New Generation by Hetman

Good job on this. It is difficult to sound good live.....people are used to the polished sound from a studio, but you guys really did sound good. Best of luck with the band in the future. Keep rocking.

ShortBusMusic 7th Dec 2010 08:27 - 14 years ago

on My Poet by Becca

I'm back for seconds. I was interrupted the last time before I could drop a comment. This is really nice. It is about as chilly as you can get :)

The chord progression reminds me of an old song....but alas, I am too old and senile to remember the name of the tune. Regardless, it is a great chord progression that evokes emotion. The orchestra is a wonderful touch, and the Rhodes is what really sets this one apart. Beautiful work.

Becca replied Unknown

thx so much i appreciate the review

on Punainen Lokakuu by jussi_huhtala

This is truly special. I love big orchestral pieces, especially when so skillfully composed and played. You definitely are one talented human being. Thank you for sharing your gifts. Bravo maestro.

ShortBusMusic 5th Dec 2010 16:29 - 14 years ago

on For Her Love by TheFightingOne

Dammmm, this is epic. I loved the chord progression and pad treatment on this one. It is Sunday morning here and I am having my first cup of coffee of the day. What a wonderful way to start the day....like I'm in the middle of something special. Absolutely beautiful production, mixed extremely well.

The only thing I would consider is possibly adding some strings or brass or, hell, maybe the whole orchestra when the piece builds to a climax.

Or you could leave it alone since it is pretty close to perfect.

Thanks for starting out my day the right way.

TheFightingOne replied Unknown

Hey,
Thanks for the review, I really love it when people like my music and I'm glad it has the effect on you i want it to. The track was written in two parts, the seconds about to be uploaded.

I think your right about bringing in strings and brass, so I'll have a sit down and a play around later tonight.

Again, thanks for the review, I'm really glad you enjoy my music.

Enjoy your sunday.

TFO (:

on Youve Said Enough ft David Fanning by FinesseNV

Well done! I too love the minimal approach to the backing track. It allows the stellar vocal work to come through and doesn't distract from the message. This one is good enough to be played on the radio. You should be proud of the message, and the messenger. Beautiful work.

FinesseNV replied Unknown

Thanks for checking it out and the review! Glad everyones feeling this track.. I posted in the vids section the visuals we shot for it so everyone check that out when you get a chance!
