Getting kind of sci-fi here, and I really went overboard with the samples.
It's like if George Clinton and Arjen Lucassen collaborated on a funk electronica piece after watching The 13th Floor on nonstop repeat for three weeks.
Freesound…
I went a little sample crazy this year for the RPM challenge. (This song is the tip of the iceberg, and then it gets far worse.)
Thematically, I guess this one resulted from spending a month between the hospital and a rehab facility last year…

Every detail here has been carefully considered and harmonized in relation to the final result. This orchestration intellectual leaps immediately to our perception alerting our affective memory connected to the long journeys hearing of the pleas of progressive music we all had heard for sure. Incredibly great!

Spun around like a seer's needle
A philosopher so lost in his riddle
Tries to speak but no longer able
Drifting in the deepest dream

This one took me a while [years!] to complete - how did it come out?

Different! Me likes different! The intro is strong but when the drums come in, they're non produced. If there's Bass, it's hard to tell. more bottom and big on the drums working together on that riff I think, would sound awesome. Vocal levels are not consistent. Great vocal though, I'm a fan!

Not sure what genre this would fit into:
Experimental Corporate Gothic Steampunk Electro-folk? (Although, I guess the 'experimental' is sort of implied by the rest of the name.)

I was planning to write a love song, but .. it didn't quite come out that way.
3/11/12 - I re-recorded the first verse with better-sounding vocals. I'm leaving the version on the RPM Jukebox…

It started out as a tribute to the old sci-fi movie, "The Quiet Earth", and became something else.

I picked this because I wrote an electronica song named ether a few years back. I love the synth textures you have used here, and that noise and the ethereal sounds really add a sense of mystery. Cool track!
Vocals performed by 2 year old Mo.
Music later added by glu, who produced this track as a brilliant surprise. We absolutely love it!
Melody based on 'Ah! vous dirai-je, Maman,' by Mozart.
Nice - musically, it sounds like the love child of Pink Floyd and Mike Oldfield.
Album release date 2199? I'm honored to be able to hear something that isn't supposed to exist for at least another two centuries.
Although, time travel is a very messy business - I hope you didn't corrupt the space-time continuum too badly migrating this album from the future to present day.
I happen to own a mutant monkey as a pet, and was hoping this music would live up to the album name, and help sedate the bugger. Now he's more overexcited than ever - he used his laser beam eyes to get into the drop ceiling, and now he won't come down.
This song has went through so many versions we lost count a long time ago. Beginning seems a little boring but it's better through out the song we hope you like.
This is very catchy. If it can get me dancing about in my chair with a broken leg, that's saying something. The sound production is very tight.
It feels like it needs a cooler title, though - something like 'Encounter At [insert random planet/constellation name here]'.

well i've forgotten
more than i've known
i've reaped the harvest
of all i've sown
the ghosts they haunt me
in waken dream
in murky waters
i go to sleep
what does it matter
what i believe
i broke my vows
so long ago
so don…
This is one of those tracks that if you drift off to sleep while listening to it, you're almost guaranteed to have pleasant dreams. The fidelity of the recording is fantastic.
You should try and find some college student who is a visual arts major, to see if he can take these tracks and pair them up with video footage. (It might make for a good final project for somebody.)

This is beautiful - I'm speechless. (Well, except for that sentence.)
I guess you can't really communicate that you're speechless without saying something. It really creates a parodox if you think about it too much.
This song was created by Alonetoner [Joshua Wentz](http://alonetone.com/joshuawentz), featuring the voice of [Absinthe & The Dirty Floors](http://www.thedirtyfloors.com)' Jessica Risker and is track 6 of the multimedia anthology, Foreshadows…
Okay - I've always been a dumb sucker for female vocals. The vocals by themselves are nice, but you also build a nice synthesizer backdrop for them. All sorts of glitchy, vocoding fun going on here.
This began as a remix of a song I did almost exactly a year ago, and I wanted to see how the same melodies and motifs could evolve over the amount of time. While I stuck with the same acoustic recordings from the original session, the synths ended…
This is nice - it blends an ethnic flavor (Latino/Mediterranean)together with some old-school analog synthesizer.
You wouldn't think the two would go together, but they complement each other nicely.

Love it, Michael!!
Sorry, I just left a message with no name. Best of luck, Dave T.

:) Production sounds good, clean!!
Nice one very cool.
I re-recorded Proteus [I] to try and get the levels better. How does it sound now? Any feedback would be appreciated.
the more i listen to ur stuff, the more I like!!
hypnotic
Really love your sound on this tune
what kind of keyboard are you using? wicked guitar
Killer Synths & vocals....really nicely done. love the arps
Freaky!! and totally wicked.
Cool and sci-fi creepy
Great ambiance and tones here. I love the kaleidoscope of sounds.

[ROFL] This rocks. The wee one sings much better than many of the diva pop stars in existence.

Trippy as all heck. I like it. =)

Interesting Podcast. I'll have to subscribe to the feed..
This is really good for a live performance. I've had the entire setlist on loop while playing my video game here.
I really like the electronica meets Mr. Bungle vibe to this. The title is kind of abstract, though. (Is it a temporary name?)
I love this - it appeals to the progressive rock part of my brain. I'm hearing shades of Phideaux and Spock's Beard mixed in there.

The vocals intrigue me - they remind me a bit of Fish from Marillion.

I like the atmospheric nature of this one -- it creates a nice soundscape to zone out to.
I like the lyrics - the words are very tight and you can tell a lot of thought was put into them. Solid production too..
I really like the chord progressions at work here. It has a certain Beatles flair to it (at their most mellow.)
This is an interesting composed work -- I like how it feels like it's split into sections, kind of like a classical piece.
This is very catchy -- it sounds somewhere between Pain Of Salvation, BT, and Savage Garden. I like the harmonies at work here.
