Nice complex beat you have going there. There is a hint of a nice melody that I'd like to hear get more evolved. I generally like everything you have there, it sounds like a nice backing track to some action part of a movie or tv show. The slowdown of the beat adds a nice change also. I'm not sure why, but I envision people riding horses while listening to this. Nice.

I hope I'm reviewing the correct song because the url was not working, so I did a search and came up with this. The song is very nice, I like the vocal (of course I don't understand it, it is in Russian I think). There is a slight annoying delay on the vocals, but it is good otherwise. The music is very nice, everything is mixed beautifully. The guitars are very smooth, as is the drumming and the music in general Nice.

Not my favorate type of music but its a pretty good song

This one is dark also, but it has more of a standard type beat and feel. I think the vocal is a little more traditional too, and very good. The doubled vocal sounds nice. I think the vocal could be a tad louder in the mix. I hear some Beatle influences hidden in this one, especially George Harrison. Nice song, nice easy listening.

Long time, no hear. You have a very very different sound, all your own. I like the dark sound, it works. I like the vocal, y only complaint is some of the harmonies sound a little off...you have a very natural vocal style...again very different. I like it. Kind of Johnny Cash meets Neil Diamond in a weird but good way.

I like this one most of all your tracks. Lots of excitement, lots going on, good rif, good vocal, great guitar. If I wanted to be over-critical I'd say 1) the vocal needs to come up louder 2) the drums are the weakest part of this, but not all the way through just in places where they don't quite work. 3) Not enough made of the vocal parts and too much instrumental. It's a good song and doesn't need the padding of the instumental parts, good as they are - this is primarily a vocal track so bring on more vocal parts!

Another great, distinctive track. Great melody. I'm not sure about the 'synth' - the bit that sounds like it's picked out on one finger? Itdoesn't sound that good and the timing seems a little off. It may sound better to replace it with a lead guitar.Anyway, another enjoyable listen.
Posted by monobandits regarding 'She Lies'

First of I must start by saying I like this very much. It's my kinda music! Great melody, lovely tone to the guitar. There are a couple of points that would improve it, for me at least! The introduction is a little long. I was starting to think it was going to be an instrumental, and then during the track elsewhere there is another long instrumental break. I'd cut that down. It's good but keep it shorter and people come back for a second listen -it's a little like over using a hook. I don't think the lead being 'echoed' (doubled?) in the write channel really works either. The vocal is very good but not loud enough - I'd bring it right up in the mix. Again, it's like you couldn't decide whether this was an instrumental or vocal track - you've got a great rif and the temptaion is to use it too much rather than just a little so that listeners are wanting more and come back to get it! But overall, a professional piece of music - and more importantly a track I really enjoyed, which is what it's all about at the end of the day.

Love this - it is very early to mid 60's but with better production! The Searchers, Gerry and the Pacemakers - definate Liverpool sound. Very catchy, singing spot-on - a joy to listen to.
Posted by monobandits regarding 'Witch!'

Very Pink Floydish. Pretty music. The vocal is a little "pitchy" at times. I like the song. I almost feel like the vocal is missing something, I would love to hear this one with a doubled vocal, maybe an octave apart. I would re-record the vocal and keep working on it, it has some very good parts and can be very good overall with a little more work.
Posted by jtees4 regarding 'Hanging on a star'

A little too much delay on the vocal I think, but nice vocal otherwise. The guitar is nice, but slightly off time in a few spots. I like the overall song and what you are trying to do...just a few timing issues. The recorded sounds are very , the lead guitar is too loud in some areas. I would recommend re-recording this one because it could be very good, the timing is tricky, but it would be real good if you could get it all together.
Posted by jtees4 regarding 'I don\'t want nobody'

A little more traditional rock/pop than the others I've heard so far. Again there are a few times that the vocal gets overpowered, in this case by the guitar that comes in at times..but it is a good song. I think it could use a re-mix because it can be real good.
Posted by jtees4 regarding 'Ain\'t that strange'

I like the faraway sound of the guitar. The bass drum is a little overpowering in the mix. Interesting beat, has a kind of reggae or tropical feel to it. Interesting vocal, it kind of works for the song. You take chances and I like that in music.
Posted by jtees4 regarding 'Rollercoaster'

Very interesting music intro. Again, I think the vocal could be a little louder compared to the music. The song has a very loose feel which works for this one. There are a few spots where the bass is very boomy. I think it could be an interesting pop song, might have to be shortened a little. Nice interesting ending too.
Posted by jtees4 regarding 'You wound me up'

Welcome to the site!At the very beginning a few things hit me right away. The guitar sound (not sure if it's real) is competing with the vocal, it needs to be panned away from the vocal a little and the vocal needs to be turned up a little. That said, I like the song, has a very nice 60's sound. The doubled vocals are very good, very tight and loud enough. I think it's a good song. The music is very good.

Excellent

Great track.
Posted by monobandits regarding 'Skint'

Finally, been trying to get the song to play all morning...technical issues. I like the drum beats at the beginning but I would like to see it get moving along a little sooner. Everything you have there sounds very good, it is a great back beat for a full song. I would love to hear a complete song made out of this...it needs a melody whether it's vocal or instrumental.
Posted by jtees4 regarding 'AVATAR'

Welcome to the site! I think you are the first one hear from Russia! I like the song. It has a very unusual quality to it, I can't really put my finger on what it is...but I like what I hear. think the vocal is good, it fits the song perfectly. You have a very casual feel to your singing but it really works. A very interesting blend of musical genres.
Posted by jtees4 regarding 'Don\'t Wanna Grow Up'

I like the swingin' beat and feel. Nice harmonies, and I like the key shift in the middle of the vocals. I think this is the type of music you do best...really good stuff. I also like your guitar tone, perfect for the song. Clean, but a slight hint of crunch. Close to radio ready...Nice!
Posted by jtees4 regarding 'Forever\'s Coming'

it is good but it is so slow. It needs more beats. erica
Posted by erica regarding 'Jungle'

Has a nice smooth relaxing groove to it. It does get a little boring after awhile only because things don't change much. I would suggest adding some different instruments, textures, speeds or something to hold interest. In other words, it is pretty music, but not a complete song. What you have there is very good, just needs some more parts to make it really nice.
Posted by jtees4 regarding 'Himilaya'

Nice story song. I like the speed stuff you have going on. Of course, I had to look up Tom Vek and find out who he was...so I learned something too. Songs of this type usually don't hold my interest, but this one did...so you did something right. Somehow you managed to make something so simple interesting. Good stuff!
Posted by jtees4 regarding 'I Wanna Marry Tom Vek'

Interesting intro, I like it. Once you get into the meat of the song, the fast bouncy beat is very nice. This song is very hard to define as a specific genre, though it is pop/rock all the way. This is my favorite of your songs that I've heard.My compliments to the band too. I think you are more suited to this style of music, I can definitely see this song as being a radio hit.
Posted by jtees4 regarding 'Superman'

Very nice recorded tone on the guitar, very deep but not boomy. I like the raw sound you achieve.I like the way you start slow and then pick up the beat. Just a very nice song, well written, performed, and recorded.
Posted by jtees4 regarding 'Perfect'

i like the melody. Theo vocals are very dave Grohl-esque and i like the steady plod of the song. the thing that lets it down is the bad quality recording.
Posted by Leigh Mary Stokes regarding 'I Swear I Will'

I like the simplicity of the bass and singing together without much else at the beginning. I like the vocal, I especially like the very tight harmony vocals. I also like the way the song builds up and parts get added as it goes along. At the end, I think a few bars could be added similar to the beginning with just bass & vocal to bring it all full circle...very nice song overall.
Posted by jtees4 regarding 'Skint'

I hear a lot of jazz influence in this one, and I think it really works. Has a really nice smooth flowing feel to it, mixed nicely too. Just overall very good and clean sound. Would make a great foundation for a smooth jazz song.
Posted by jtees4 regarding 'Wanna be close to you'

There is a lot going on in this trasck. You have some interesting sounds and beats, this one is very different...but still kind of maintains a pop beat and feel to it. I like it. Some of the sounds are distorted (I think on purpose) but I think that distracts from the overall clean sound. I would like to hear a nice rap over this one, or even a nice r&b vocal would sound good.
Posted by jtees4 regarding 'Rewind'

Very pretty guitar music recorded nicely. You have a very distinct voice which I like. The harmony is very nice...I feel the second voice is a little louder than the main vocal and should be turned down just a bit. Nice and balance mix. Very nice and very memorable song. I could see this being a radio hit. Very simple, but very effective and very nice job!
