Very good. Inventive, lots of good ideas and cool sounds. Great guitar playing. The damped sections are maybe a wee touch boomy? (The guitar over on the right during the first couple of verses) Good drum sounds. Excellent vocal performance. I found the tone a little harsh on the raspy...

I like this. The drumming is very good (and I'm not just saying that ;) ) but as everyone has said, someone stole your snare. Go get it back. Really nice voice too. Some odd choices for panning the vocals, though. I'm not sure it works, although I realise it's just a rough mix. Lots of...

Very nice. Mellow, slightly trippy feel. The singing is very good, and I love the guitar playing, especially the bit after around 4 minutes. Very fluid. The bass playing is good, but the sound needs something - I'd like to hear it a bit "rounder" if that means anything? The organ on the...

Interesting thread. I don't frequent the songwriting forum, but I thought I'd just point out that the MP3 Mixing Clinic usually addresses all sorts of aspects of the music posted there. A lot of people are looking for technical feedback on recording and mixing, and there are a lot of very...

dtb - thanks very much. Short and sweet. :) mkg - thank you very much for listening, Mark. I really appreciate your comments. And I'm glad you like the organ sound. As I said somewhere above, I just loved it when I heard it but I wasn't sure it would suit this track. Glad it does. crawdad...

Pretty good. I like the first section with the sparse drum and wah guitar thing. You need to scoop out a gap in the metal section to make room for the voiceover. It's not just a level thing. You could try "ducking" the music with the voiceover track, but I think what you really need is some...

I listened to this a while ago, but forgot to post. It's excellent. Good singing, inventive harmonies. My two main criticisms have already been made by others - the "two note solo" needs work, and the outro needs more happening in it. But just details. I really liked this. Good stuff...

Here's my tuppence worth. Quality comes from talent and effort, not technology. Listen to Erland's stuff - basically just a 4-track (albeit digital) and a crap guitar. And an amazing voice. He could sing a shopping list with his head in a bucket and it would sound better than my best...

Barometer - thank you very much for your comments. I agree that percussion would improve "More Than This" - erichenryus is working on something along those lines this week. Should be cool. Cheers AB

Hope I didn't give you the wrong impression - the drums sound good. I was just saying that the cymbals are too loud compared to the "actual drums" - i.e. kick, snare, toms. :) Cheers AB

chrisharris - thank you. boydrj - thank you too. I'm glad you think it's better, and I'm glad you don't mourn the reverse reverb too much. ;) Cheers AB

Have a great time. I sent you a PM before you posted that you were leaving. Read it if you have time. Cheers AB

Erland - I was reading your first few posts, and found myself dying to hear your early stuff. Could you put them on Nowhere? Or email them to me? Or just sign a deal and I'll buy them in the shops? ;) Cheers AB

Guernica - thank you very much for the comments. A couple of folk heard a 60's sound, which is strange because I wan't even born then! But I do like a lot of 60's stuff, especially the Beatles obviously. I'm also a big fan of Nick Drake, and would kill (or at least maim badly) for his voice...

macle - "just throwing out thoughts" - having listened to all of your stuff over the last couple of days, believe me I'm desperately grabbing for any crumbs you can throw my way. Your writing/arranging/production abilities are bloody amazing. I don't *think* the timing on the solo is off, but...

Thanks everyone. sheppard - glad you like the solo better. I'll look out for Jim Croce - what album would you recommend as his best? JR#97 - there's still plenty of reverse reverb in there, don't be greedy! ;) I'm glad you like the solo - I'm much happier with it too. As you say, it seems...

I liked this. It's not really the kind of stuff I usually listen to, but the intro got my attention with the cool weird noises. I also like the distorted drum/rhythm/loop thing. The vocals are fine in the main, but the first minute or so should be re-tracked - the pitching is a bit off, and...

I really liked this. Good song, and I like your singing. Excellent lyrics too. Stand out moment - "wait for it", followed by a mental guitar solo thing. Very cool. Areas for improvement - more actual drums, less cymbal. Vocal sound is maybe just a bit harsh or "toppy" - try cutting the...

New version Apologies for the self-bump. I've posted a new version at the same location: http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=1715&alid=-1 I've turned the guitars down a bit, mucked about with EQ on them, changed the vocal reverb a bit, and removed the reverse reverb on the main...

PS Eric - yes, the acoustic is doubled and hard-panned. In fact, because my timing is so abysmal, it took about 40 takes to find two that I could actually use. And there were probably 40 or 50 separate vocal takes, to achieve the less than stellar results you can hear ;) I ended up comping...
