a very delightful, entertaining composition. Alice did a particularly tasteful job -- great delivery. Digging the sax job too. The drums are likewise well done. Some nice moves on the bass too. This really is a great compilation of sounds -- excellent flow.

This is an instrumental song I composed roundabout 7 years ago. Finally we got around to recording it with real instruments, and the band is:
Frank Zax: Guitars
Andy Gupta: Bass
Mark R. Cole: Drums:
Steffen Offermann: Synthesizers, Music…
Oh yes, like it a lot. I was thinking "very pleasant, where's it going to go? We've got another 3 minutes at least"... and then at about 50 seconds it told me.
I was sitting there taking it all in... and it finished before I knew it!
Fine job.

Thanks @JMT and @Wildgeas!
I just uploaded a new mix with Andreas Hülsen on drums. He used an electronic kit with the same samples that I had used in my version, so when he sent me the MIDI file, I was able to reproduce the original sound, just with the human feel of a real drummer playing the drums. :)
Angela Wehman wrote lyrics for and sang to my old tune "Winter In Moscow". This is work in progress (I want to replace the midi instruments with real ones and start from scratch).

Hi, Angela,
Joel, new here, and decided to comment. I like stuff like this. Sounds good. Evocative, I can't get rid of the bare branches and Gorky Park with stuff like this. I'm always a promoter of more dramatic stuff like it. I saw you mention the midi. I know these are all home setups, so it's hard to get anything. Somehow I would like to separate the voice from the low Russian register of the instrumental arrangement. Not sure how. I'd like to think somehow sing out. I would imagine that you are not much of a Soprano, but being a story teller, presiding over the background of a real orchestra, an impartial commentator of tragedy and triumph, like the beginning of Carmina Burana, or All That She Wants, by Ace of Base, clearly describing the scene. Reticent a bit, maybe. Bringing it out a bit could make it sing. Alice in Wonderland says "No personal comments", but, I guess what the heck. Saludos.
The drums in this version are electronic, but played by a human drummer.

What does a songwriter do when he's addicted to Doctor Who (and his new very cute companion)? He writes...

My how you've grown up after oh so many years
I've only been away for ten or…
This pretty much sums it all up for me I guess.

This song is meant to be the intro, set the stage, and talk about the direction of the album. The riff came to me while I was absent-mindedly noodling on my gtr in front of the idiot box one day. I knew at that point I had an album opener of a…
I struggled to get this thing completed. I've been sat on it for weeks, finished, debating whether I was really prepared to let it go.
I loved the song when I wrote it, inspired by a wonderful week at the end of September. But the recording…
With Big Time Operator, who originally uploaded his awesome music with the offer that anyone can add vocals...too good to miss! Love this music, and had loads of fun wailing. Thanks Chris!
Played on BBC Radio Introducing. :)

I wasn't going to post this - it's the original demo that the finished version is based on. This is the same lead vocal and resonator part that's on the full version - no EQ or anything, just the naked tracks. There's two bars of silence before…
Here's a new one. Well, a new old one, actually... And a bit different than the last one!
Something old, something new, something borrowed, and, er, something blue...

I doubled all the lines to help me and a friend learn the song.

Thanks for listening, guys!
I just fixed a problem with the kick (some dropouts) and cleaned up the low end a little. I cannot hear very well though, so I'll have to leave the final touches for later.
An acoustic short song I just made up, I kept it very basic by only using my little Höhner guitar with nylon strings of which I recorded two layers. I hope you will enjoy my song ! Warm regards from Anna.
BTW: nice to see you again, Anna! :)
I remember this song. The pure acoustic version still works best for me.
(Get rid of that extreme reverb - it makes you sound like you were standing in a central station and kills your great songs. )
A quick song I made up out of nowhere, hence the title "Somewhere out there" LOL... Everything you hear is me apart from the drums, as usual. I hope you enjoy my bedroom recording... Warm regards, Anna

What Gene said. Major production.
Nice guitar licks, great vocals, good music. Choice bass line.

I love this, it's really, really good !
Nice one.
Smooth. Wish you had mixed the voices up more, tho.
Classy!

Most deserving of World recognition. Well done folks.
Love the guitar sound. "There will be people you wish you'd never met." Great big sound. Great production.
Cool song stoman.
Hi, Stoman. Joel, here. Like I was saying, I like the song. Apparently, this was a fav of angela740. Newby. Keep it up.

You can write songs about anything and anybody, and they will always make sense and sound great! :)
Beautiful, like all your songs!
One of the best songs I've ever heard on music portals. I've listened to it a lot, and I still love it.
Almost all your songs are very good IMO, and I often enjoy them when I drive to work.
Great 70s rock! :)
Forget Bowie! You have a very unique style, actually. :)
Is this an unpublished recording of Bowie from the psychedelic early 70s? :D
Great songwriting, as usual! The mix needs some EQ, it's a little "thick", and the drums don't quite suit the song IMO. But nonetheless, great job!
Nice! You have an interesting voice that suits the song very well.
I think Rick left some comments on songs of mine, but we never really talked to each other. What a pity to know that we never will.
Another great song!
Very well done!
Only the good die young. :(
Groooovy! :) I do hear some ZZ Top there, too!
Classical folk at its best. Wonderful songwriting, James!
Sell this to Jimmy Buffett! :)
I downloaded this ages ago and finally got around to listening to it. And I'm glad I did, because it's GREAT! :=
