Re: A Grand Parade

A Grand Parade See-Man-Ski I thought life would be this grand parade but I'm left with a thousand reasons it ain't this way and I was hoping you could tell why I thought time would pass by easily but I'm looking an hour glass for company and the company I keep has left me dry and I beg and I plead ...

Re: I'm too lazy to be crazy in the (Hazy Holidays reviews)

And The Lamb : Wonderful guitar playing, it kind of feels like the end of the night. I got transformed to a pub setting where everyone has reached there limit, the bar man has rang for time and your in the corner playing this as everyone staggers out.

Re: The cards were all dealt (Face Down reviews)

seemanski Opener kind of makes me long for the good days of Ben Folds. Nice performance. Vocals need a different reverb, because the one that’s on them doesn’t match the room the piano is in. Feels like they could be more up front or something, to really get that intimate feel on the quieter parts,...

Re: The cards were all dealt (Face Down reviews)

a.flaim : Great guitar tones and pace throughout. Wanted more vocal tracks, felt a double track or some harmonies could have really lifted the track. It is certainly very happy and upbeat. The Gross Tones : I'm not a fan of the mix of this track. It felt a bit tinny for my taste and all the instrum...

Re: How I sleep at night (Face Down prefight)

I'm in, haven't done one these in a while. Been learning piano for a while now, I wanted to do a full band thing but now I've learnt some new tricks on the piano I have no idea how to accompany them.

Re: SpinTunes 19 Round 4 'What Was That Noise?' Challenge, reviews and comments

See-Man-Ski - I can’t tell you what this brings to mind. I like the farfisa sounding thing. There’s this one high note in the first verse that seems a little flat but that’s about all I can critique in the vocals. Timing on the doubling could be tightened up a bit. I’m not sure I hear the pedal ton...

Re: SpinTunes 19 Round 3 'Let's Circle Back to That' Challenge, reviews and comments

Governing Dynamics - No Matter Who This is one hell of a track. I really love how it is instantly recognisably your song but that change in vocals turned my head. I was not expecting them at all, although part of me does feel this is bit of a trick to make you sound different, but I like it so much...

I've started so I'll keep going, 3 more to go after this, much easier than the 1st round at least Hot Pink Halo - Hexaflexagon Firstly, thank you for your liner notes and videos they were very interesting and really show us how you approached this track which I appreciate. It is far too clever for m...

I'll have a go this time round, sorry I didn't manage it last time, struggled to find the time :( Like before I'll do it in five song segments across the week as this gives me more incentive to finish because I know I have started so should go on. I have listened to all the tracks and I really think...

My notes. I'm trying to find a balance between "old-school Songfight mean" and "Spintunes nice." Eek, I didn't realise there was a "Spintunes nice." I just went for "I'm winging it Mike". Our Little Secret - See-Man-Ski : You have the best grooves in this com...

Hanky Code - Secret Lair This wins the prize for the most creative rhyming, hands down. Although some of it was a bit questionable i.e. floor/foyer, hmmm, although I did quite like that it was really quirky. This is a great track that builds, I particularly love the levels in the mix, they are just...

The vocals get me past that and the brass section is awesome, I'm crap with recognising instruments but pretty sure was a sax ...

L.J.P - Hero I do like the sound you have gotten, it sounds clean and nice. The introduction of the sub was a nice touch. I couldn't help but feel that this was a bit safe, there was no real hook that grabbed me and although it is well produced and there is some great instrumentation it didn't real...

I'm hoping, if you listen to it enough times, it'll become your favourite song of all time. Then I can release it and rinse you for some sweet, sweet streaming dollar :D

I did feel it was lacking in the lower frequencies. So you're saying I shouldn't mix only on headphones and not bother to check it on other speakers? Delores, take a note. I'm totally guilty of that. I do a lot of my mixing when my 6 year old is a asleep so tend to avoid my monitors. I think you we...
