sorry repeat
@Bluepunk, it's valid both ways, in my opinion. Read the story or not. Just different ways of evaluating the music.
@badrico temple dust is very rythmic i keep wanting to hear vocals pop thru then another synth takes the lead and captures my attention. thats a good thing for me. keep it going i like the direction and mood it put me in
@NoiseHorse i like this alot. i can see this being a sountrack to anything. very melodic and diferent than i thought at first listen. mix is even inthink in my own personal prefence i would have wanted to feel the drums a little more
@trackedout Thanks man! I'm glad you liked the track.Ive sung my songs in many weird places but lately I've settled on hanging a duvet up in the corner of the bedroom and singing there.
I gave your track a couple of spins,lots of interesting ideas and quite the wall of sound you've got going on there.I did find myself wanting some kind of drop/break or any kind of dynamic shift as it was quite full on for the whole song.I couldn't make out a lot of what you were saying either and I think that's partly down to lots of sounds competing against each other.I loved the tape eject ending! Very cool! May I ask what you used for the out of tune piano? Anyway,I hope that's useful to you and welcome to the club!

@richardyot I love the production on this track mate.Its fabulous! It's nice to hear those harmonies a little louder aswell.Good job man and a meagre 3.38!! Wow!
I don't really have any nits mate,sorry! (Maybe the lead vocal in the chorus is a little loud?? I don't know mate,I'm reaching!) Cool title aswell!
Hello, folks! Here's my second submission:
Have a fantastic weekend!
Dimitri.
@LostBoy85 i gotta hand it to you man, your stuff is just great. i hear the lows i like to hear. acapela is awesome. what are you tracking to? how do you work
@rickwaugh hello mate,you have some interesting things going on in your track.I liked the guitar work and I didn't mind the string arrangement BUT with respect and in the interest of keeping my feedback honest,I have to say that for ME those two elements did not work together very well.They seem to clash to my ears,Sorry mate...I did enjoy the guitar work though and some chord choices were a nice surprise.
Tx @LostBoy85.
Hey, @technemedia, I enjoy the overall cacophony of the intro of your "Elephant In The Room". You made a bold decision there, of putting a bass percussion off the centre. Listening on headphones, it had great effect. like an elephant wreaking havoc inside a tine living room overcrowded with furniture. Would have to listen to it on my speakers - will do! - to see if it causes the same impression. The elephant scream synth is gorgeous, really good. Nice experimental song, keep it up!
Hello, @richardyot: a nice submission indeed, with a singable melody and a very powerful chorus. The overall tone and some of your synth choices remind me of Cocteau Twins, which is obviously good. Liked very much the mix: the vocals are present enough to make every word understandable, yet without burying the other instruments. Liked it a lot! Congrats.
Hi, @badrico: I liked the way the song builds from the intro, almost like a fade in. Many subtleties happening at the same time: good! Some really nice tones here and there, specially the bass and the (rhodes?) piano. Enjoyed it a lot!
P.S.: I will review more songs during the next week. Hopefully, all of the submissions.
Peace,
Dimitri.
@trackedout Hey thanks man!
I've had a lot of help over the last year from this forum,I've got tonnes to learn still,but it's nice to hear that you like my stuff.I track to Auria Pro,I sing in front of hanging duvets and for the music I go into my dragons lair and pick any apps from the horde I've collected over the last two years!! Thanks again man! 
yeah I was wanting some vocals to pop thru too... but the synths got loose and were having too much fun.
thanks for the listen
cheers, rico
hey, thanks for tuning in, glad you enjoyed. yep, twas a rhodes.
cheers, bardic o
You're welcome!
Here is my funky entry this month
I'm looking forward to hearing all of your work this month!
My first song, started on iPad, sent to the Mac, then back to iPad for final mastering.
Packing up stuff and girding loins (unpleasant damn business) in preparation for a commercial trudge to Toronto for a few days and then more of the same in Philadelphia on my way back to Austin at some undetermined point late next week and while wondering what the hell I could contribute in what has been a barren month it suddenly struck me that I have done no feedingback.
Dilemma. Does one concentrate on plinking out some more plinkage or instead fulfil the sacred oath and bond etc?
No contest for a man of honor who is also a fulltime procrastinator…couple of things: A) Not going to read everyone else’s more timely comments BEFORE I comment. Am far too impressionable. Please forgive me if in places I repeat that which has already been well said.
I don’t know who this @richardyot bloke is but I think it very bad form to post one of the best sad perfect songs in a thread where a man maybe struggling to even write a heartfelt verse so Helplessly and is indeed on his way to Ontario after all….if ever there was a real need for a trigger warning in this world….
Here are some thoughts etc. Had to be cut into two because you bastards have been so busy
@carol - Forest Circles:
I feel that I have surely already talked about this piece. I have certainly already listened to it or let it run in the background of my life a few times. I suppose all half-decent sonicscapes are like canvases we want to project onto. Especially cinematically. This particularly. I like this a lot (can’t you tell?), but long for some Yared like slow melody, muffled piano probably. Could have this three times as long, could also cut it up into small bite-sized morsels.
@mschenkel.it - Remix This II - Thavius Beck
This is the kind of piece that pisses me off but only because it illustrates only too well how constrained I am in my own music. I wouldn’t have the self-confidence to be as ‘offbeat’ in the early rhythm or going on for as long with some phrases, but both these approaches and others work well. Particularly the different levels/mixing. Have to admit to being disappointed with the acid-ey chords stabs at around three minutes. Sounded too generic (even if meant ironically, which I suspect they weren’t) for what is an original piece (even if a remix, talking of irony). Something in the ending reminds me of an as yet unmade spy movie.
@theconnactic - Mocó:
The Third Man goes to Funkytown. Literally groovy. Definition of a toe-tapper. Have strong visions of Indian whirling ladies dancing UNTIL the Big Guitar came in. Lots of nice prog sounds/style which work individually, but aren’t as interesting or as hypnotic (to me) as the more traditional formal styles. I would LOVE however to eat in the restaurant that had the food to match this tune.
@badrico - Let Us Take Our Bathing Fashion To The Beach:
First off, a thousand points for a great title. Words and music, yes, very important, but give me a damn good title, something either very snappy or -like this- elusive and knowing. This tune starts so lightly but then adopts some martial nature, reinforced by the brassy bits, which then softens with the sax sound. Very airy all round. Wasn’t a hundred per cent convinced by the quality of all of the sample sounds, but the vibe is just what you were after I fancy.
@orchardman - A Sacrifice:
Am always begging for trance/ambient/scape thingies to include/add some vocals, just for the transformative aspect. What was and what is now. Of course vocals as much as music immediately lead us down a ‘type’ road. This vocal starts off very slow chanty, even though very smooth. I can also hardly understand a word so am left to my own imagination and prejudice which in this case involves castles and orcs and forests full of true love amongst lost souls. Perhaps medieval Poland with power chords. For all of that, you have an enviable richness of sound and I really do like the vocals which echo and are stereo-spaced between the main verses.
@Richtowns - Gadget Track Reggae:
Partial to reggae and especially the islands it originates from. Not terribly fond (after a while) of this bass line/melody sound, but that may be its position in the mix as much as anything else. Also get a bit of a sinking feeling when the vox samples are repeated and repeated. I understand they are a part of the rhythm and feel, but I guess we all work with samples so much (or can) that it’s hard to not find them a bit of a sore thumb pretty quickly. Purely personal opinion of course.
@funjunkie27 - Dance of Today:
Starts off making me think that a well-built Fred Astaire is going to come gliding in. Love the high piano figure and the lazy jazz-ish beat with the arp. Not my kind of cauliflower, but with enough feel and coolness to keep me interested.
@crouchie - prop:
Like the voice of course, but really like accent. That battle between the mid-atlantic, the mockney and the self we all face (or some of us anyways ). Of course it nods to me of the Cabs but that’s probably more about dating myself (hey, at least I’m dating) and no bad thing after all (at all). Love the drop and the words, not only content but spoken/sung rhythm. Very natural, believable and impressive. Not fussed about the first ‘bridge’ sound at 3 mins, but I do like how it builds and appreciate it for it NOT being the sounds I fully expected then. Love the last bit. Love it all pretty much.
@NoiseHorse - Jet Plane:
Sounds almost deliberately cack-handed at the start…and immediately makes me think the singer is half-cut and a bit mad. But strangely likeable and oddly old-fashioned. I see you in a very large-collared shirt. Large hair (not ‘big hair’, big difference). Possible bracelets. Sentimental and weepy. Perhaps stains on your shirt. Seems like a weird review, but what I’m trying to get at is that this is an odd almost drugged out song, but with heaps of personality. Mawkish in a 70s way but utterly impossibly real. The kind of tune I would never have given time to when it first came out on that LP my weird uncle bought, but now would come across in a bin at Goodwill and feel, well, good about having found it again. Would be hard to explain to the wife but she would indulge me.
@Bluepunk - Cum ere n gedit:
HA! And in total contrast to the foregoing here come my boys, boots and Ben Shermans, I think of this as the English seventies answer to the Springsteen tune ‘Factory’ and I would happily spend a drunken half hour trying to use this as Exhibit A to my American friends in my ongoing efforts to disabuse them of the notion that all of England is Downton Abbey with extra cream teas.
Oi!
Weirdly if I had a crit of this is that it should be more violent. But the whole ‘Come on then, come on then’ at the end is spot on. Heard this many times hanging around Richmond station hoping to fight random skinheads on a Friday night…
@ion677 - Keys jam:
Love that sound. Turned the speakers up loud again. Don’t feel the drum track does the keys justice, but that could be easily fixed if you were of a mind. Just a mellow but still awake sound. Would like very much to hear what comes before and what comes after…
PART TWO:
@trackedout - Sounds from Friday morning:
This didn’t move my needle. Felt like it was a jam in search of a song. But that might be as much to do with my own prejudice (against the style) and requirements (as regards structure). Without the latter it was hard for me to care about what was going on or believe it too much. All of that tells me that it’s not aimed at my head and nothing wrong with that at all, as long as you believe in what you’re up to.
@achromus - Black Suspension:
Intro begging for a vocal. Got a bass sound instead, but liked that a lot. Soon settled in for a steady, pleasant ride and wasn’t disappointed apart from the fact that I mostly knew what I was getting before I got it. Again, nothing wrong with that. High-quality sounds, good balance. Everything in its right place. I see you have it down as a WIP, would be interested how you decide to further paint the building that’s been put in place.
@orchardman - The Swansea Rain:
Brilliant opening, was wondering where you were going to take it (drums or not). The guitar coming in led me down a certain path and then the vocals catapulted me into a familiar weirdness. Overall I admire this piece. It’s not my thing, but I think it does what you set out to do very well. I DID love the ending, nicely handled.
@LostBoy85 - Crashland (co-written with MattFletcher2000):
Like how little the early verse voice here appears to have been treated (whatever the truth is ). Makes for a steady start. Overall this tune feels a bit more fluid than other Leo-opuses. Still full of melodrama (much of the great vocal music the world has produced from opera to Boy George has been melodrama!), but the sections seem a little more separate/less well connected and maybe don’t quite add up to the sum of their parts. So well executed however in those parts. Much to admire. I think in lazy shorthand I would say this is an album track not an obvious first single. Your anguish has a lot of energy (well, the ‘I’ character does). Would love to hear you take on a more downbeat (morose even!) piece. But that may say more about what I like to listen to than anything else I guess….
@badrico - Temple Dust:
Love the quietly relentless start, something inevitably this way comes. And then the bass…..and then the piano….again admire the sparseness you allow yourself to go with. I think just sitting listening very carefully to a piece like this probably does it few favors. I was getting a little antsy by minute five, but no doubt if I’d been looking in the other direction (or watching some celluloid) I wouldn’t have thought twice about further ‘development or ‘resolution’ etc etc. Nice feel, nice pace, nice thing.
@richardyot - Kings of Nothing:
Full throttle start here. Not going to list your influences , we all have ‘em. Your vocals have improved so steadily, but no doubt you’ve also got better at producing them, and both areas are evident on this. You have also developed a bit of a timbre/rasp in places and I think that’s good, more character. I think I like the chorus more than the verse here, but I guess that’s always the right way round. The last go-round of Kings of Nothing could be a bit more pumped up/harmonized maybe. Interested (when I get out of this soundcloud list) to see what you have to say about this one.
@technemedia - Elephant in the Room:
Always interesting to hear an inventor play his invention. Was mostly lost until 1.45 when the bass sound came in, but then I got lost again. I realize listening to a lot of SOTMC how cloistered my taste is when it comes to what I think of as ‘music’. I also haven’t taken any quality drugs for quite some time. But still, by the second half (and the third listen) I was getting into it more and was wishing for some vocals (beyond the pachyderm chorus ), but probably more as a function of explanation to my confused self as much as anything. Weirdly or otherwise I could have listened to that sustained note at the end for far longer. It felt like a sudden and deliberate bit of clarity.
@rickwaugh - Fracture:
Lots of bits and pieces all in conversation here. I know something of your workflow/habits and admire the complexity of your effort, but the stop start nature of the piece feels as though it gives me less to hold on to than I’d like. But that says more about me very likely than you (or it). Feels like many pieces/interludes from a certain kind of BBC historical drama collected together with electric guitar added.
@theconnactic – Eros
Caper movies! Many of them. Slow motion car chase. Or maybe, more against type, an overdose. Very evidently capable playing. More than that, superior playing. And I’m a sucker for anything wah-ish. Very powerfully a soundtrack to my ears, but then the bridge at 2.15 and I love how the bass comes in and plays around a little before we go back to the guitar telling its story. Like the ‘out’, but overall while I marvel at your skill I feel as though I’m waiting for someone else to walk in the door or the singer to come back on stage….this (as you will have gathered) is entirely my own ongoing prejudice.
@tGiG - The Emperor Penguin's New Groove
I love energy and control. What is that machine that comes in though? Like a well-tuned happy dentist’s drill going about its work. I like the piano riff, but then realize (sneaking a peek at the play bar) that you’re going to end it there. Pretty as is but an appetizer that leaves me peckish.
@grizzlegritz - Got Them Uglies
First song? Good debut. What are you using here mostly? You suffer (I think) from the thing that falls upon most newish singers; fear of pushing the level of the voice up a little to where it belongs. This is a creditable virgin effort. It reminds me of a piece of nonsense or doggerel that you’d find at the end of an album by someone like Zappa or Beefheart. And (this is no small thing ) I’ve never heard anything else like it….
@All : A smorgasbord. A buffet. A feast. What a peculiarly cool platoon of serial sergeants the SOTMC has become! And it’s only April….
But now, Canada.
@JohnnyGoodyear > First song? Good debut. What are you using here mostly?
Thanks, Johnny. I used some synths in iPad, but I fell in love with some of the Alchemy sounds in Logic X and also used the Drummer (now also available in Garageband) and recorded my guitar there. Being new and untrained, final mastering was a bewilderment, so playing with the presets in FinalTouch app on iPad was a godsend.
@JohnnyGoodyear
I couldn't describe any better my feelings towards this little tune. Thanks for the feedback.
@JohnnyGoodyear No plinkage from you is bad news for my ears & they've entered the Delirium Tremens stage!
Such a noble, kind act sir & proves that the Downton Abbey era of chivalry remains firmly engrained in our blood. Even back in the 70's we used to take the enemies crombies off, hang them up for them (not a crease in sight) then kick the living shite out of each other!
Thank you for this colossal effort of skilled reviewing. Have a safe trip.
@badrico nice groove man. Great chill out for a lazy Sunday morning. May be some vocal samples would have just added that extra something.
@richardyot Great song, I caught myself humming the chorus after the first listen so you have definitely got something right. My only slight criticism would be that the very start of the song is a bit abrupt, everything all in right from the beginning. Of course it could have been that I just had my headphones turned up too loud.
@technemedia you got yourself some weird shit going on man.
@rickwaugh great playing as always. Truth be told, it's not an easy listen but I think overall it tells the story you were trying to tell.
@TGiG sorry mate, not for me this one. Nice picture of a penguin though.
