on Generic rock thing by StephenPotter
Reminds me a little of the Smiths style wise so yeah, looking forward to hearing where this ends up.

on B Minor by sn76
I love your drum patterns and variations in that department but i would have liked to have heard you do a bit more with the main riff. If you added an L.F.O. to it and i dunno, maybe introduced a bit of distortion on it later in the track.
It's a good tune but it needs some more variation in it to make it really good.

on Dreaming A Dream (with Mark Cloutier) by MarieDailly
What i particularly like is it has a real "smoky room" live feel to it which add's another level of depth and atmosphere.
Great work here. Really enjoyed this piece.
FR
Yup, I love my blues & would like to do more.
I spend more time writing lyrics than singing lately, though.
I had a great time dreaming up the lyrics for this, & the music Mark very kindly gave me to play with was superb!!
I'm a big fan of his, so I was truly honoured!
I was surprised at how well this came out, but then I had JoyfulWAVe to mix & master it for me, so that can't be bad, lol!
Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it!

on In The Heat Of The Night (Cover) by MarieDailly
This makes me feel about five years old again with it's style and old school flavours. I'm not familiar with the origional track but that doesn't stop me from being able to connect with that classic 80's vibe.
Lot's of energy and drama going on all at the same time so there's plenty of positive points going on here.
i have to agree with Mr Maloo about the vocals though. They do get hidden away behind the music at times but aside from that this is a good track and i always think anyone who gets on the mic is far braver than i.
well done.
FR
Yup, our Mr V is a special one!
I didn't know the original either, but I liked it & thought I'd give it a bash.
I agree about the vocals too, & we just might get round to a redo. I recorded it with a stupid wee mic in my lappy, & my voice isnt very loud (OK, my SINGING voice isnt very loud, lol) at the best of times. So JW got a very quiet recording, & had to try to fix that.
Brave? I was petrified, lol!
But it was our first collab, so pretty special to us both.
Thanks for reviewing it

on Sooner by Jamscience
This is great. The mix clarity is all on point. Love the vocal and i can't pick fault with it at all.
Did you get that vocal from here? It's not one i've come across before.
Anyway, downloads kind of speak for themselves so have another one on me.
Thanks,
FR
She has got some amazing vocal chords though, ehh?
on La Ultima Bala (Vicen Collab) by AllenV
Your style in this reminds me a little of Slash (I mean the guy from gun's n' roses as opposed to the english slang for having a p*ss)
Splendid piece of work my friend as always.
FR
It's all good though and I'm glad you cleared up the Slash thing...but hey,whatever makes you feel good and isn't that what it's all about anyway,feeling good!!

on Cigarettes Are Expensive by Spivkurl
This is a great tune mate. Enjoyed from start to finish.
FR
on Constant Temperature Pump by visionarysoundsystem
I dig the intricateness of this tune, there's loads of stuff going on and you can tell that there's been a lot of time spent on getting this one right.
i can't fault this track and it just HAS to be another download.
Cheers homie.

on Top of the World feat Nico Collu by JamieVega
i guess it just goes like that sometimes. But you know and i know, that this track rocks!!
FR
on Ocean Riddim by Redgold
Absolutely love this. It's got a kind of "specials" vibe to it. Your definitely at the top of your game with this style & i reckon if you could find a singer to throw a few words over this you'd be on to even more of a winner.
That's not a complaint by the way. Just saying.
Man what a great tune. This kind of vibe always makes me think of haunted houses and stuff.
It's a brilliant image.
FR
Peace!
on payhook ft farisha by carlosnble
You've got that silky smoooth sound going on there again and i can see with a few more bars, this is going to have winner written all over it.
Splendid work. I'm glad i have terrible taste in music because i just couldn't compete in these more commercial genres with quality stuff like yours.
FR
Peace!
on Andrew Cole Dead Roses by Mahloo13
on An Emotion by CyberSon
Tranquility i would say sums this up in one word.
I feel like going to the beach now (not Brighton though. It's filthy and covered in stones)
FR
on Real Ragdolls by MOAB
Again you're synth work is really good here (is that a midi guitar you're using?) It's got me thinking UFO landings and little green men. Again the attention to detail is what strikes me about this and musically it's spot on. We just need to get you to focus a little more on your backbeats and stuff and when that happens you're going to be making some killer stuff.
As i said in my last post i can send you some stuff to work with if you like. I think your fancy synth work would compliment what i do really well.
Let me know what you think.
FR
on Vinyl Lust by PiiiE
I always think breakbeat's under rated round here so it's nice that i've landed on a piece of well designed, quality tunage.
Nice one!
on Do You Hear What I Hear by FullCapicityMuzic
I can't see why this missed out. We must be playing host to a right bunch of scrooges & grinches on this website since only three people have commented on this most excellent christmas track before me.
The only complaint i have to make about it is that half way through i went out to check the stocking i'd hung up by the chimney before i realized that he aint coming for another nine months!
Who's that singing on the track with you by way? Is that a future star from the Edwards Clan i hear?
It was very cute.
FR
Those precious children are my girls, they were MUCH younger then, then again...so was I [shrugs] lol.
Thanks Free :-)
on Grey Highway by simmerdown
For some reason this piece has got me thinking vampires in the dessert like in that film "near dark"
Again i'm thinking to myself "spend more time on ableton" i see it's paying off dividends for your music.
Easily the best cinematic piece i've heard for quite some time.
Now you can kick back and reward yourself with a cold one!
FR
on Paradise Road by Planetjazzbass
For some reason i keep repeating this phrase to myself "I've got to get the hang of that bloody Ableton live"
It will happen one day, oh yes it will!
Anyway, i still think this is great and the explosion at the end just seals the deal.
Actually, on that note i have a mate who's just started up a business that sells landmines that look like prayer matts. He says prophets have been going through the roof.

on Born -original mix by smallpaul
I must do some work with Mr Leachim sometime. He's very good isn't he?
Happy Sunday!

on Blinded by Digital Image featuring Mina Fedora by mzzfedora
Fantastic work! I like the down tempo jazzy vibe to the music and your singing voice is superb (So good in fact i had to dive straight in and see if you'd uploaded any accapellas i could play with. Drat says i!)
I'm listening on rubbish speakers at present and i can tell this tune is worth listening to again on a propper sound system so i'm going to do it the justice it deserves and return when the rest of the house is awake. (Or i might just wake 'em all up with this)
Superb piece of music!
FR
on Surfing The Flush by Reficul1889
Musically it's a really good arrangement. Once you've taken care of the noise this will be spot on.
FR
on Apple Orchard by visionarysoundsystem
I would suggest swapping the kick drum for a more punchy sounding one but that's the only thing i would alter. Everthing else is 'avin it!
FR
on I Like it featuring Stephanie Kay by RichieWinn
Everything is on point, well played and i see this being on target for reviews and downloads a plenty.
Hats off to you!
FR
I am truly grateful for the compliments you pay me - thank you. So rewarding to have comments and observations like this.
Stephanie is a real talent and I enjoyed this collaboration. Hope she does too!! Being "on point" is a brilliant insight into what I try to achieve with my songs. Style and finesse? That knocks me out. I suppose I aspire to polished perfection (hell, does that sound pompous? hope not).
Thanks again.
Richie
on RockBottom by Jamscience
So you see, It's worth going off on a random one sometimes. It gets people to check out your stuff.
What a track for my first of the day.

on Knife Edge by Daddytine
It's nice to hear someone break the mould with something that works for a change.
Niceley done.
