[Pat!M // Can You Tell (Instr.)]

cool

you need vocals? I can sing this for you if you like.

[Mad World Cover]

mad-chops

you've got some mad-talent man, and a great voice that emotes really well. A little a pitchy here and there though (your double track harmony at 2:28).

The pitchyness happens a little more after you change key. An interesting addition arrangement-wise, but as far as execution I don't think it really works because that particular key doesn't seem to work as well for your voice.

I'm a fan man. Keep 'em coming!

[<<Worlds Apart (Jars Cover)>>]

pleasent

nice voice you've got there. would sound better with the whistles and bells that come with some processing and eq-ing, but do with what you have right? The arrangement was a little bland... that is, there was very little variation (dynamics, strum pattern etc) as far as four minute acoustic guitar vocal songs go.

Would like to hear some original compositions from you. Buy yourself a decent microphone and recording program. Clean up that guitar (weird frequency ringing in there) and keep on doing your thing.

SatoDraygonFist2 responds:

The way i record all of this is painfully basic. I sit with a 12 string acoustic in front of a macbook, and i record the guitar part first so that's why the strum pattern is rather uninspired. Thank you for your words, and I'll sure take into consideration what you say!

[=[Dancing in your Arms]=]

great synth parts

I really enjoyed your leads, and the octave bass. A Great addition to a pop song that focuses more on mood than having a catchy melody. The song is very pleasing to my ears sonically (the sound of her voice, the harmony, the synths all sound warm).

I personally like more melody based pop, but that's just me. The whole thing reminds me of the Rentals.

My taste (and I don't vote based on that) would be to hear it faster. The song is about dancing right? It's not really a dance-able tempo. More variation (in instrumentation and dynamics)... like a lot more, would help keep my interest. The break down at 3 min was very welcomed, but came so late.

The song is pleasing sonically but after a while I just sort of space out listening to it. It makes me a bit sleepy.. it's just this pillow of synths (which may be what you are going for), but it's not very 'catchy' in the pop sense. It doesn't really have a hook (in my opinion). Maybe back off during the verses in instrumentation... let the vocals take the focus. Just my two cents.

Really enjoyed it. Looking forward to hearing more.

[SpK*) - Schanjhezx]

i dig it

i'm loving this caucophonus mess. no decipherable key. the drums are in 4, but the rest is all over the place. neat stuff. keep it up.

Spikrodd responds:

actually there not, i set the tempo at 82 and when i placed the drums at that speed, it sounded generic :/

Anyways, thx 4 teh review and possible 5 i think!

[Ionomizer]

cool man

hey man,
this is really cool. Has potential to be a groovin' alternative rock song. But as it is, you can't really call it pop. This belongs in the techno catagory. I sure dig it though.

delete-my-account responds:

I didn't know what category to put it in. Anyhow, i didn't choose the category.

[The Worst Song Ever]

sometimes i think of your fingerpicking

nice finger pickin' yo.

[Eleven-Eleven]

Neat idea

I like that it's bass-line driven. I'd take it easy on the auto-tune though man.
