Title: Nothing but wrong neanderpaul - BandMix.com
Artist: neanderpaul
Genre: Rock
The first song I review from Mr. neaderpaul (great nickname by the way) was something very pop, easy to listen.
Neanderpaul appears to be very ecletic. This song here is a more agressive rock type.
It is a coolaboration between neaderpaul and Jimmy Danger. I assume that Mr. Danger is a guitar player.
Excellent riffs and a very good sounding tune makes this piece a "must have".
I like everything in this song.
Neanderpaul´s voice is amazing here, reminds me a bit of Ozzy in old Black Sabbath songs. The doubled voices are just perfect.
Also the solo is just great!.
An excellent rock song.
5 stars!

Title: Roach in the Couch Shred - BandMix.com
Artist: Haleamano HaleAmanO.com - Las Vegas Reggae - Hawaiian and Island Style Music
Genre: Electronic
This one is tough to categorize. There is nothing like it around.
It have a reggae flavour but not too much. Also is not a rap, a beat. But it have a beat.
It is a very strange track in fact.
The vocals/lyrics are very weird. Perhaps this was very deliberate and it is just fine with message writen.
I can see it is a band but I cannot hear nothing else besides electronic drum (TR808 like) and voices.
An strange tune by a strange band in a strange format.
If you are looking for something very strange you just found it.
Weirdness factor here is 10/10

Title: R.L.D SoundClick artist: Charlie A
Artist: Charlie A
Genre: Rock
Chalrlie A. is a great composer. His pieces are always good.
In his work you have always that sensation that he is very secure about what he is doing.
This song is simple. An acoustic guitar played by himself, his great voice as usual and some other acoustic instruments.
It is simple but it is not boring at all. The song passes great images and makes you fly out somewhere.
Rare is the music that makes you travel.
This one does!
Superb composition, it have it´s own life.
Makes me feel very good with myself.
I love it!
Special mention to Mr. Sptiz, who produced this piece beautifully.
Another great work from a great composer. I did not expect less.
5 stars!

Title: Winters Child Listen here
Artist: Karma Police (UK)
Genre: Electronic / Ambient
Karma Police is one of those unique talents.
His music is fresh and beautifull.
This track have a special tone, a special flavour wich is different from the usual ambient tracks.
The sound of the pads used here are great. The curiosity is that the track got a beat but not a bass. This shows that the author is not bounded with formulas and concepts. Does this piece need a bass line? Not at all. The track is very complete as it is.
It is a simple track: a beat, some pads and synths and voices.
The voice is delivered beautifully by LisaT. Another curiosity is the voice in layers here. LisaT was recorded several times in order to make this track. It could be a bit "too much" but it is not. Very nice
A great track from a great project.
I am looking forward to hear more from Karma Police featuring LisaT.
Well done.

Title: comin home Listen here
Artist: beatbreaker18
Genre: Hiphop instrumental
Well, what can I say about this track?
It is well produced yeah, Sounds good and everything. Obviously made to be a playback for a rap/hiphop song, wich appears to have an enourmous market hungry for the so called "beats"
This track is nothing that you never heard before. It is just like everything you hear all around. Do not get me wrong, it IS good if you like the style.
In therms of composition, I think it is weak. Two chords all the time is too boring in my opinion.
Thge author could be more creative in this aspect.
Could be better.
--------------------------------------------------------
Title: Brainwasher Listen here
Artist: Jerry Santos
Genre: Metal
Here is a well engineered tune from a very nice Metal project.
It appears to be compositions produced by Mr. Santos mostly.
Also containing a little help from his fellows musicians from the band "Fear Itself".
I know that Mr. Santos is playing all guitars here. Great guitar work, I must say.
Excellent riffs with a powerfull sound. Everything you need in a metal guitar production. Very nice.
I enjoyed very much the guitar and drums work a lot. I cannot hear the bass. It is probably there but, as usual in the genre, you cannot hear it.
It is not clear to me if Jerry Santos is also singing here. I have to say this is the weak point of the song.
It is not particularly well sung, on the contrary, it is very bad vocal work.
It could be an excellent song but the voice is preety much jeopardizing what could be an excellent metal song.
That said, I have to say that the effects on the voice are not helping either.
It could be better if the voice was muted or the vocalist assassinated.
Jokes apart, perhaps Mr. Santos could find a decent rock singer for this piece.
Good metal song with a terrible voice.
-------------------------------------------------------
Title: Love me 4 me Listen here
Artist: Haleamano HaleAmanO
Genre: Reggae
This is usual reggae song. A good one. There is a lot of preety bad reggae songs around. I liked this one.
There is nothing too special or breakthrough here, it is a song to hear and enjoy. It is about love. Love is always nice in my opinion.
What got my attention is the fact that it begins with an excellent refrain. Very different from what you may expect. The format always makes you expect an intro, then a verse, then a refrain. I think is very nice to begin with the refrain in your face, so to speak. Of course it will only work if it is a good refrain. This one is very good. The vocal work is exceelent.
I liked also the hawaian guitar (what is the name of it?) playing along all the song. It fits like a glove.
Also the "wurlitzer-clavier-like" is very nice here. Not new but works well in this piece.
Overall I liked the song, the only thing is the quality of the streaming, wich is not good. Too lofi to my taste.
I would prefer a better sounding encoding.
Other than that it is just fine.
-------------------------------------------------------
Title: You guide my way Listen here
Artist: Noisy Kung Fu Noisy Kung Fu - Christian Rock for East Texas
Genre: Christian Pop Rock
One of the members of the band asked me to review this song. I wonder why.
I do not want to be offensive, rude or anything but I cannot lie as well.
This song is horrible in all aspects.
It is extreme badly played, all instruments.
It is badly sung too. If I could understand the words I could also form an opinion about the lyrics.
It is also very bad engineered, making it a bit worst than it really is.
I think that even that if it was well recorded it would be a bad song.
No good, no good.
Very bad musicians playing an horrible song.
-------------------------------------------------
Title: I'm gonna get you Listen/watch here
Artist: Neanderpaul
Genre: Experimental
The author says that he calls this type of pice "freaky spoken word".
I Do not agree. It is so, so funny. Makes me laugh a lot when I was hearing.
The author here is obviously one of that kind that is a flood of creativity. He must be a very funny guy in a very weird way. I would like to know him.
This song is fresh. Very unexpected and unusual. I like it a lot.
It is simple. It appears that it was recorded in a 4 track machine.
Only a guitar, bass, neanderpaul´s voice and...a cell phone. Imagine that.
The lyrics is also very simple but great in my opinion.
Must be one of that pieces that you love or hate. I put myself in the part that loves it.
The images in this video are nonsense pictures in sequence.
Worth the listening.
Interesting stuff, very creative and unusual.
A must have werd piece.
5 stars.
---------------------------------------------------
Title: After Work, Late at Night Listen here
Artist: André van Haren Online Composer and Writer
Genre: Classical
Absolute music, this is how I call this kind of piece.
Classical composers are very rare, at least good ones.
Mr. Van Haren is one of this rares composers that makes trully beatufull music.
This piece is complex but it is not dificult to listen. As a matter of fact it is very easy to listen.
It is a shame it is only 3 minutes. I hope it is just a part of a longer piece.
The pizzicato bass is just great.
The strings arrangement is just perfect.
A reat work from a true composer.
Obviously, not many composers have the oportunity to have their pieces played by a real orchestra. Mr. Van Haren is one of them.
Most of his pieces are made on computer with simulators and sounds very honest in my opinion.
I listened to one of his pieces with a choir and other instruments. Text from Edgar Allan Poe, very nice. It is real stuff.
After listening the piece a dozen times I am liking it even more.
A must have work from an excellent composer.
5 Stars!

Title: Schism SoundClick artist: Black Chamber - weird, twisted, surreal, artistic, introspective, avant-garde, original
Artist: Black Chamber
Genre: Experimental
This is a noisy experimental song.
Dark and freaky, I must say.
As usual from Dark Chamber.
I respect very much those who are able to do something fresh and personal.
This is the case.
Blak Chamber have a unique style. He likes the sounds that makes you scary. This is his goal, frighten you. He is achieveing his goals obviously.
There is nothing here that indicates something scary but you can feel the fear and menace here only with eletronic sounds.
Very hard to achieve. Sounds great.
Well done.

Title: Tribute to Jim Morrison (of the Doors) Ubetoo - Tribute to Jim Morrison (of the Doors)
Artist: ashadowman
Genre: Poetry music
A tribute song to the singer/songwriter of the band called The Doors.
This song is done in the "American Prayer" album style.
Well, what can I say about this song?
It is pleasant. It is easy listening.
The message on it is positive.
The music is not bad. Well mixed, sounds good and stuff.
It is a simple song with a positive message. This should be enough.
Ideal music for elevators and shopping centers.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Title: Don't Eye Me Like A Child SoundClick artist: Bright Midnight - page with MP3 music downloads
Artist: Bright Midnight
Genre: Alternative Rock
I had a hard time to figure out how to classify this song. The author put it under "Alternative / Post punk". I cannot agree with him. I cannot see punk ements on it.
It is very musical and have a nice groove. I think it fits best in rock category.
Drum work here is excellent!! Performance and sound.
Everything here is just great, voices, guiatrs, keyboards, everything.
A great song in my opinion.
It got that 70´s flavour in the way it sounds. Reminds me a bit the lisergic progressive bands.
The lyrics are also great:
"...the years
they've gone by
they've gone the way of planes and trains
just wandering around from place to place
my statements they should dream
the colors that they see
should reflect who im supposed to be
because being friendly aint so easy anymore
dont eye me like a child
cant you see me in the wild
oh i've had enough of teasing
because being friendly aint so easy anymore
and the villains
they're calling
they're calling in the earliest of hours
just trying to save some face..."
Excellent work. A must have.
Really alternative stuff.

Title: The Flintlock, the Musket and the Dead Chicken SoundClick artist: henwrench
Artist: henwrench
Genre: Alternative
Yup, it is really alternative.
Kind of weird and funny stuff.
It is pleasant, I like it.
The instruments are well record.
The overall sound is good. Perhaps the voice could be a bit louder.
Special mention to the voice at 2:30. Funny stuff.
This one get that kind of english humour.
Nice.

Title: What do you got (If You don't got love) SoundClick artist: Brett Howe
Artist: Brett Howe
Genre: Acoustic
A new singer/songwriter is borning here.
It appears that the author is in that stage when he is starting to explore the musical world. Making the first songs, recording the first ideas.
There is not much info at the artists page, so I really Do not know muuch about him.
What I know is : he have a nice voice, plays the acoustic guitar well and writes music from the heart.
I think he must be a young fellow by the photo. For a "kid" he is doing preety wel in my opinion.
I liked the song very much, the words wirten have a meaning, this is so rare:
"Well Yesterday I was just sittin, alone lone lone, thinking about life
And aint it funny we throws ourselves like skippin stones, just hoping we did things right
Cause yesterday I thought, what do we ever really got, even if we have lot what do we got if we dont got love, love love love, what do we got if we aint got love
And Everyone seems to be so tentative, scared to make mistakes,
Well Today I thought, im gonna live live live and love you, even if my heart breaks
Well Im gonna give you all of my heart, my dear friend
Just try not to tear it apart, cause I need it forever, and til the end"
This is a really good start.
Of course, the recording is bad. but you can have an idea of the song. Perhaps the author could study a bit more about recording. It will certainly not hurt.
I hope to hear more from MR. Howe soon.
Very nice.

Title: Inner Sanctum SoundClick artist: Necropolis JC
Artist: Necropolis JC
Genre: Metal
Powerfull riffs and raging guitars. Do we need more?
Nop, not really. If you are a guitar head, like me, you will enjy this one.
It is an instrumental piece. You will wait for the voice to come in at some point but it will not happend at all.
I think it is just perfect as it is. If a voice enters it would be another metal song with gutural vocals. Without the vocals the song become an unique genre: Instrumental Metal. This is great!
I hope that Necropolis continues to be a instrumental project.
The song got several different parts, excellent riffs, extremelly well played.
The kind of song that you want to play on the stage.
Solos are terrific. Great guitar work here.
At 2:40 a stop and clean guitars enters in a nice harmony. Very nice composition skills.
A must have metal song...
...without being bored by a vocalist.
Vocalists can be a pian in the ass some times.
The sound is perfect. Very well mixed/mastered.
5 stars!!

Title: The Wrong Girl Ubetoo - The Wrong Girl
Artist: In Isolation
Genre: Rock
Another great track from In Isolation.
This is a great band, I love this song in all aspects.
Great UK sound, great musicians, great voice, great lyrics, great arrangements.
Tons of feeling and good taste in this piece.
I feel like I can start jumping around my living room while I am listening to this.
Excellent song performed by an excellent band with an excellent sound.
It is unique, easy listening and powerfull.
Very big 5 stars!

Good stuff Daniel. Not sure I'd go 5, but good stuff.
Daniel Eboli´s Reviews (please read 1st post) - Daniel Eboli - 28-11-2009
I am glad my critic made you listen and liked it, Mr. Music Head.
I hear a lot of new music everyday. I have to say that this composition quality is very rare.
Cheers!

Title: Future Past Listen here
Artist: Colin
Genre: Pop
Oh god, sometimes I think if I am being too harsh.
I believe that to be a musician/singer/songwriter you have to study hard. Dedication is the key.
I Do not think I am better or worst than any other artist. I remember when I was a beginer and my songs sounded very bad.
My performances were poor and I noticed that.
I realize it was a gift, because many so called "artists" Do not have a clue about what are they doing.
I Do not want to flame anyone, I am learning how to see the good things first. The good is always there, it is said.
This song is, let me say, horrible.
Vocal performance is horrible. Lyrics are very poor, not much to say here.
Arrangements are boring and overall mix is bad.
It is not working for me in any aspect.
Needs a lot of work.
I am trying but I cannot find anything good in this song, sorry.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Title: I Will Die 4 You Listen here
Artist: D Dash Flow
Genre: HipHop
The last review I made here (Colin´s future past) was a tough one for me.
Here with D Dash we have a good example about a song that is not my taste at all but I can see good things on it.
I am not here just to judge what fits to my taste but to provide a honest review in the musical and technical aspect.
Technically it is not bad. It is not particular fantastic but everything is there. The sound is nice, bright and clear. You can hear everything and everything is well put, so to speak. The sounds choice of the instruments are nice. Not spectacular but nice.
The song begins with a nice female voice and an ambiental/orchestral like enviroment.
Soon the beat enters along with the voice.
What to say about the vocal performance?
Well I do not like it. It appears to me that the vocalist is too shy, afraid of the microphone. This is my first impression.
Breeding is also something that I can perceive. It is bad. The vocalist is not breeding properly. First step to be a good singer is to know how to breed properly.
Also the message in the lyrics means nothing to me, makes not much sense.
Anyway, I Do not like death. I will die for noone. Never.
For my luck, the author post the lyrics in the artists page. That´s nice, I appreciate.
Well produced track but need serious improvement on vocal performance.

Title: The Colours of the Autumn Listen here
Artist: Jerzy Kulik World
Genre Classical / Soundtrack
It is wonderfull to me to realize that there are orchestral composers hiding out there.
I love classical music and I am a big fan of soundtracks.
Mr. Kulik says in one his webpages: "...In my youth I studied the classical guitar, but I prefer to compose an illustrative or film music.
My achievements are at the moment modest - little of the music to documentary films..."
This piece of composition here fits like a glove as background music for a documentary, in my opinion.
The author uses only computer, nothing is really played here but the sound is very nice.
Strings sounds very close to real ones.
Overall sound is great.
I cannot put it under any classical style. It is different than any orchestral pieces I´ve heard before.
For sure an unique style of composing.
Sometimes reminds me Mozart´s pieces, sometimes Mendelssohn. Do not ask me why, no particular reason.
If you like soundtrack orchestral pieces, this is for you.
Very nice

Title: For The Love Listen here
Artist: LOkal Motif
Genre: HipHop
I really don´t like to repeat myself so often but there is no lyrics posted at the artists page. This is very bad in my opinion.
Said that, I have to say that this kind of song is not the kind I like. I don´t understand why someone would like a song like that.
The music is repetitive, the lyrics got no message or image. I don´t know, perhaps it is just me.
I usually like the tracks from Lokal Motif. Not in this case. It is not working for me.
As usual, I am trying to be honest.
The good aspect here is that is well produced and, why not, well sung.
In fact this song is not working for me.
I like the more agressive tracks from Lokal Motif.
Why bother Do anything else??
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Title: Liberation Listen here
Artist: Bright Midnight
Genre: Rock
This song is a bit unusual with a rock flavour.
It is not bad. It is not good either (to my taste)
It sounds a bit boring to me.
It is kind of well produced. Despite the fact that the track is swiming in reverberation.
Drums are nice, well performed, well composed.
The lyrics are nice, not particularly excellent but nice.
The vocal perfoemance is ok too. Perhaps the key os too low for the singer. A tone or two up could help the song to have more groovy. Maybe also accelerate the BPM. Maybe less reverb could help either.
The voice, as usual, have a good timbre. I like the feeling on it. The key is too low in my opinion.
Not bad.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Title: Bout Mine Listen here
Artist: Sour E
Genre: HipHop
Guess what? No lyrics again. Bad, bad, bad.
OK, I will say first I did not like this song.
The drum is weak. Sonically and performed.
The organ sound is just horrible. Like those one used in churches. Nothing against churches. It sounds like a yamaha PSR 100.
Also ther are some voices with delays totally out of time.
Lead vocals are too loose for my taste. Of course I can´t understand much of it so, for the luck of the author, I can´t have a honest opinion about it.
Not working for me.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Title: Interficio Humanitus Saeculi Listen here
Artist: Necropolis JC
Genre: Metal
It is not the first song I review from Necropolis. All other reviews were positive. Now it is not different.
It is excellent again. I love the work from those guys. An excellent instrumental metal work.
Solid compositions, excellent sounding tunes, great guitar riffs, excellent performances and tons of creativity.
Special mention to the bridge at 2:00. It is kinda funny and pleasant.
Good reviews are short like this one.
Perfect job!
5 stars!
