on Keeping the faith - Verse 1 by Killumineye
Nice Rhodes like piano intro with some uplifting Chords, but very interesting beat. In My experience When people add that much echo and chorus to there vocals they are afraid of showcasing there voice. They are afraid of being noticed as being off-key. I think you have a good voice but need to practice this tune and re-record it without so much effects and we will be able to hear the true spirit of this tune. Also back the vox just a smidge down in the mix. This is a nice tune with potential, I would like to hear this with your strong confident voice in the mix in the future.
Peace Steve

Yes my voice is crap . I am not trying disguise my flaws but I don't want to crack windows either, I look for an opinion on bettering myself which you have given , See this is all i ask for is honesty so i can work on what i need to . Thank you for your review it is appreciated very much and i will be always grateful for such constructive criticism ..

on Weapons Of Mastication by Evisma
Still Chewing this one, like a star-burst watermelon flavoured candy in my mouth 1:38 on is my favourite part. But 1:56 breaks my jaw. 2:42 grinds my jaw to pulp with that clean sounding bass-line. Nice background synth to counterpoint the bass-line. The it sounds retro-60]s organ like with all the glissando's. good work on this one Evan

on Peace On Earth by Mosaic
Ahh my friend, you have added Trance sensibilities to Drum and bass rawish sounds. good mix. I agree with Val d's assessment of the vox. A cool pan would do wonders. You can get lost in this song (in a good way) good work mucho props from this corner of the web

Hey Steve

Thank you mate for the review, pleased you enjoyed track, seem to add trance feelings into most of my non trance stuff, maybe because trance is my genre to do lol, sometimes a good thing sometimes maybe not... :))...Like said to Val's review don't use vocals much so need to learn different things you can do with them in near future, as want to use vocals more in my works to come...Peace n Respect friend...Mosaic...PS have new POP track up now...Hopefully you will enjoy...

on Your Time Will Come by Diskonnect
cool intro and interesting electro tune. Old school in some ways modern in others. I hear Pet shop boys, I hear TSOSheffield. Great job.

on Think About It feat LilBrams - Last Call by TuneDef
Love the R& B , I would love to hear the vox without the effects. I think that would be effective in the mix.

on Dreaming In Blue by Orlando51
Ahh when two of my favourite composers get to work together it's like looking at the sun.... Intro is awesome and builds upon the tension of what's going to come. 1:30 gives us a slew foot drum beat with a nice piano riff intermixing with T-weeds sublime g-tar. Bass is simple but effective. I think to make this truly work you need a more movable bass-line. And I would bring the guitar more forwards in the mix. The piano should be more in the background. This is a good song, just needs a deft touch in the mixing department. 4:30 gives us a hint of a possible cool synth solo but chickens out.
I hate to critique ... but This has such potential to be a potent song but it feels to me that it is stumbled or blocked by something. Missing a flow or chemistry in both your awesome talents. I will listen again tomorrow with a clearer(less tired working a lot) mind and maybe give some more thoughts to this one. As I really appreciate the work you both do. And respect you both as amazing musicians.

Hello mate...

Many thanks for your honest and comprehensive review, as well for the general compliments...to tell you the truth I'm becoming tired of this song, but not because of the music itself, but because I have quite a few different mixes and arrangements of it and I can never decide which mix works best...I think it all depends of a preference of a certain listener in the end. Normaly I would tend to remixing it again and again, but I'm sick of it...I had too many headaches because of it already and I just need to start fresh on something else...

With appreciation and respect_____Orlando

on Breaking Walls by Killumineye
Nice use of Midi, interesting albeit older analogue drum kit usage, but it works for this tune. I like the strings as well. I think my only critique would be a better defined bass line and more movable. But good work and nice expansive use of MIDI.

on No More Lies - Larry Wiggles aka Mark Jeffries by larrywiggles1
I agree with Behnam's synopsis, but it has potential to be something bigger, I can hear it, it just needs some tweaking. Maybe some live synths. I like the delayed vocals. It needs some more varied percussion, and maybe slow the tempo down just a squeak. Maybe a guitar solo. I would have to think about this one my friend.

larrywiggles1 replied 29th May 2014 - 11 years ago
Hi Steve,

It did start off as being a favourite track which I thought had potential, but I got a bit disillusioned when I lost the WAV files, maybe I should have gone back to the drawing board, but in one way I am glad I uploaded it because the feedback I am getting is constructive and confirms what I thought. Great to hear from you as always.

Very best wishes,

Mark/Larry!

on Ancient Forest by Anubis
You have a great sense of the dissonant. The percussion reminds me a bit of Bear Mcreary's work on Battlestar Galactica. compelling cinematic exploration. I thoroughly enjoyed this.

on you would not believe me by Tonality
I don't care that people might feel that the guitar work is simple. Nor that the vocals are not polished. It is an expression of minimalistic sound and emotional singing that even though does not resonate in our English thinking minds (not all of you mind that) It touches all of us as musicians at what ever level we are at as an expression. and there is something too this that is compelling. It's kinda like when I listen to Midnight Oil's Bed's are Burning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejorQVy3m8E&;html5=1
I know Peter Garrett is not the greatest singer by any stretch and parts are off key..but the way he delivers the emotional impact in a ..dare I say simple chord structure of a song..but it compels me to turn up the volume every time. The message, the emotion of the song just compels you to listen. Or Neil Young (great songwriter..not a great singer (unless harmony)) but still just compeling to listen too...Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, Chrissy Hynde, Sioxsie Sioux.. I could go on. IMHO

on Corridor Creep with DESIGNED IMPRESSION by DanGoldstein
Brilliant intro, lovely ambient sounds. like metallic and pad;like at the same time. Then a dissonant string hangs above the metalicpad swirl, interluded with bass clangs. You sir have not only understood what ambient is really about, you have added to the fine small distinction of ambient artists who get it right! hats off to you! Oh and I may have crapped my pants.....:-(

on Nightr8 by Spivkurl
Freaky good, some dark disco going on here. Maybe we could name this genre Litho-Disco. As usual your vox shine for me, nice bass line. The synth line at 2:20 is nice. Love the ending. Great work Spiv. Studio is almost finished here in my new location so I can remix again. will be contacting you soon.

Spivkurl
Spivkurl replied 20th May 2014 - 12 years ago
Hey, thanks so much my friend! Means a lot to me! As I said to MYXD, I wasn't thinking about offering a remix kit, but since two of my Looperbuddies are interested I will probably be giving it a try. I was trying to impart a little disco vibe, Litho-Disco...that's funny! I appreciate the supportive comment on the vocals, I found my vocal chords were a little weak on this one, but I just kept on keepin on. I can't take too much credit for the bass line, save for the arrangement and mixing of it. Took me a few tries to get the ending sounding right, it needed to be balanced. Thank you very much for the listen and comment! I will contact you when the remix kit is ready!

on Space bells from inner world by aelmen
I like the percussion and the moving bass-line. I must agree that the synth sounds might not completely fit this tune, But it's a real interesting song nonetheless. And I enjoyed it just the same.

It has been a while since I listening to this track, and now with a distance i agree on the comments on the synth.

But thanks for listening and commenting.

on Circles Never Open by Mosaic
Ok right at the 30 second mark. Go into Acid and make the measure margins to 64th or 128th notes. there you can manipulate the vocal loop to be just a hare forward. I hear the vocals starting just a little bit soon. Play with that and you will see (hear) what works for this track. It's a great track, just needs the sync of the vox. I think the tempo is ok for the vox, just needs to fit the beat. Your gonna get it right soon, I believe that!
