Well, all righty, then. I just happen to be recording my second solo album right now, so I might as well get some feedback on my working mixes, bearing in mind, of course, the fact that these are, after all, just MP3 files.

Lemon Frosting - April F's Mix

Lovely Day - Mix 09

BTW, I was formerly, and am still currently, known as "Bunny" over at MusicPlayer.com, for those old skool (actually, middle skool) SSS folkes in da house! Heheh.
I totally Dig That Bunny!!!! That's my MUSIC!!! Only thing I would have done is mix in the vocals a bit louder.

Thanks for the positive feedback on my tune, too. And while I'm at it, a cover track (if anyone will indulge me on a cover track)...just 'cuz I like the tune. I hear a couple vocal doubles that need cleaning up, but udderwise, my take on an old classic:

Walk Away, Renee
The guy singing these two songs has a way better voice than you do

Very cool Ted!!!

Still trying to reconcile the voice with the pictures, Ted

If we're indulging cover tracks, I want to throw in Behind Blue Eyes. The guitar crowd seemed to enjoy it when I posted it right after I finished it last fall.

I like the sounds ,....I love the song.
But have you ever,...(I'm not trying to get ya pissed at me) have you ever tried playing with a metronome? Or did you time it this way on purpose?

Assuming you mean me...

I was shooting for a rubato deal with that one. Believe me, it was tracked with a time reference. You can't do six or eight tracks of guitar without a time reference.

If you listen closely to the second part ("When my fist clenches" for those of you singing along at home) that was recorded very tight to a 4/4 click. I wanted the rhythmic intensity to come all from the phrasing. I tried a few percussion accents, but wasn't really happy with the sounds, so I scrapped it.

I've been listening for 11 hours straight on today so maybe my ears are fatigued but,....

The riddim parts in both songs are tight,.. the solo parts seem sloppy timed.

I dig that last tune by the way man! It grooves. I wish it had more lyrics. Is this a working version to write lyrics to? Bass sounds cool also,.. It's about the same stuff we do with Bushcollectors. Very very cool. Is there more?

Thanks for listening

That "Light the Fuse" tune is as it is. I don't know quite what to make of it, it's just sort of an experiment with some groove stuff and harmonizing with parallel structures. It's sort of an anomaly for me, I'm not usually that groov-a-licious.

As for the solos being ah ... let's say "less precise", I guess I just have to say that's my style.

Re: The Return of...Is Your Music Any Good? Find Out Here!

I'm always a bit sheepish about putting my own stuff up in one of these threads for a couple reasons:

I already know what it sounds like and I know it's often sloppy and often compromised by technical issues -- because I put feel and intuition above all other considerations, as a rule.

When I was working for other folks, I labored to deliver the best technical recordings I could. But that stuff never really made much difference to me, personally. Some of my favorite records are a mess, technically.


So, with those lame excuses firmly in mind...

The chorus seems a little weak... I think it needs more lasers.

Re: The Return of...Is Your Music Any Good? Find Out Here!

blue2blue,

I wonder why people buy stuff like Moby and Massive Attack when there's blue2blue.

If I was a label I'd sign ya right away.
