I’m very pleased with how the lead guitar break came out on this Political Folk song. The rocket being launched at the song’s intro is Apollo 11, carrying Neil Armstrong and company to Luna.

This is really nice! I'm not familiar with your music, Gene, so do you write lyrics and music? Are you a one-man-band? This is the first song I've heard, it sounds a lot like Gentle Giant. Beautiful! Thank you
One of my personal favorite recordings from the 52 song MYTHOPOETICA demo collection, even though there’s a sound quality issue (the bass had a bit of a buzz). This was my first time using a wammy bar – I liked it!

Unconnected, re: noise reduction on I Lose Control v.2- if you want to, go ahead! I'd like to see what you're able to do. You can email it back to me at songsforthebroken@yahoo.com, and I will put it up and credit you. If you get any ideas while doing that and want to overdub something, feel free to do that as well! Thanks again for listening!

Have a problem with TV evangelists? You won’t have a problem with this number! This Psych Folk tune features Starry Nightmoth on church organ. The rhythm/drum track was generated using a Yamaha E313 KB, the rest is my fault.

Since you showed interest in my songs, I thought I'd check yours out too. But by god, this is impressive! Reminds me of 'Treasure Island' - one of my most favourite books of all time. Thank you for creating this. I love, love, love this.
This is the rerecording of "I Lose Control." The first recording was using my computer's internal mic, just to get it down. I didn't want to wait until I got home, so I got a cheap $10 mic at a pawn shop with an adapter and ran it straight in…
Another simple arrangement that uses dynamics to differentiate between verse/chorus/ect. I really like that gimmick, but I have to force myself not to do it, or I'd do it 100% of the time.
The lyrics are about depression and were written the…
He was a genius. He was a miracle. He was a good man. But despite that he was wealthy and loved by millions, he was in pain. But though his pain is over, we have lost a giant, so this is a giant lost.
Digging the music and the vocals and lyrics. Good stuff, great job, Rock on!

I think I can remove that "floor noise" (as it's called in the sound editing biz) with my Cool Edit Pro software, if you're interested in that. I did the guitar and vocals. Nice rhyming! Rock on!
this is all James Bailey’s work and again I just added the delayed stereo effects with the bent time lines left and right.. no big thing but I am liking this just as much as the original.. next comes the effects :) while the movie renders..

Silence in the air further cold
Breathing again.
Nobody can see into my old feeling.
No, no one can take this moment
No, no one can change what I think now
I am free
I could open my eyes again

The percussion track is groovy. Digging your strumming style. Important lyrics, and your vocal delivery is tasteful. The scale of the lead break is righteous. You ROCK -- Rock on!
Are you Matthew or are you Bob? Is your talent in this recording or are you posting another's work? It reminds me of material by Rick Wright, keyboardist for Pink Floyd -- colorful and delicious.
21 seconds -- mighty short song. But I liked what was there, and I trust what you sais -- "More coming soon" -- and am looking forward to hearing the rest of this one.
Dedicated to the Winter that never seems to end.

I meant to type, " I DIG the guitar and vocals. Nice rhyming! Rock on!" rather that "I DID..." ;)

GORGEOUSLY PERFORMED!

Cool! Made me smile. Sounds like a pile of Muppets waking up in the morning.
That there is some damn good songwriting! lyrics, vocals, drums, bass, and completely everything else, all of it, fantastic. rock on!
Fantastic! I seriously enjoyed this -- Rock on! very psychedelic, very trippy, and super delicious. Good stuff indeed!
Came by for another ride on this psychedelic star ship.
Quite exceptional, professional, masterful, colorful, textured, tasteful, brilliant, intriguing, delightful, remarkable -- great job!

Oh my how gorgeous!
Shred that sucker!
I agree totally with what that Justin Otter Guy said below me! ;)
Delicious! I'm sinking my teeth deeply into this one.
Trippy! Very cool vocals. A colorful, groovy combination of sounds. Tasty and fuzzy -- I dig music I can see, taste and feel. Rock on!
Inventive, creative, different, brilliant, far out, groovy, delightful, righteous!

You got it going on -- really know what your doing! This is a very tasty compilation and mix down of sweet sounds.
