@JeffChasteen, wow! This intro is gorgeous! Congrats for this. Nice transition to the main beat, nice tones. Liked it a lot!
@trackedout, this one has almost a early Grunge vibe, reminds me of Mudhoney, and I really enjoyed it a lot. IMO it’s the cleanest and most polished track you’ve ever posted. Great song, great job, keep following this direction!
@Shaken&;Stirred, great song, reminiscent of more complex pop rock of the 80’s like Peter Gabriel or Talking Heads. Bravo!
@Bluepunk, great lyrics as usual, and great job with the vocal parts with this one. Also loved the beat, reminds me a little of Chemical Brothers, but that’s where the similarity ends. All the other elements sound like pure post punk to my ears. Amazing job!
@DefRobot, loved this song. Your mixing and arranging skills improved to a huge amount, and I love the way the choruses really come strong, the dynamics are really working. Bravo!
@richardyot, this is easily and by far your best vocal performance. In fact everything is so good in this song, perhaps the best you’ve ever posted. Catchy choruses, really enjoying this.
Browser went nuts, perhaps because of an unstable connection. Willl continue with the reviews later.
Thanks Richard. If I get the MTV gig, the 'gently' part shall be reserved for the kind Clubsters down here only. Have you heard the Top 5 in the charts? Songs for Slaughtering or what?
What a month of song and comment! The Club is a popular place to hang out these days and wonderful to see new faces jumping in with their music every month. Thank you.
Viva The Club.
With all the excellent submissions to review, I've fallen behind on my expression of gratitude to you all for your awesome feedback!
thanks Johnny G., yeah, I've gotta a few comments over the months regarding over use of repetition, and I've kept that in mind when arranging my track for November. I really appreciate the props for the clarity of the production. I'm working hard trying to better my chops in that area, so it feels good to hear that it's paying off.
Thanks for listening to both! Most, including myself, prefer the first version, but part of me also likes the second, which is why I had the idea to included them both. thanks for the kind words!
Your's is the only vote for the second version, which I think it kinda cool, I'm glad it wasn't unanimous for the first, and glad that you liked it, cheers!
Thanks Jeff. The "not overly busy" comment means a lot. with so much available, it feels like a constant struggle to not go overboard. Glad you like it!
Thanks Luke! Yeah, @zpxlng made the same TMBG reference earlier in the thread, as did a friend of mine, not on the forum. I like them, saw them live years ago, but not a hardcore fan and definitely not enough to consider them an influence. I do like them, though, so it's cool to be likened to someone who has been as successful with their music as they have been.
Being a rocker at heart, I have a hard time not putting some power chords in every track I produce. Maybe I should make that a goal for a future track. Thanks for the feedback!
Wow, them are some heavy hitters! Thank you very much, I appreciate it!
Lastly @Bluepunk
your review video this month is amazing. I can't say it any better than @JohnnyGoodyear and his great granddad comment is spot on, and brilliant! Thanks so much for this. Just know it's not just me, but my whole family that is thoroughly entertained by your artform! Best wishes!
I listened to this one during a break from my work day and what immediately struck me was that the tune has a strong emotional core. The chord progression and melody (especially in the chorus), the gorgeous synth lead tone/part, and the vocal inflections all contribute to a wistfulness that perfectly matches the subject matter. Kind of a cold rainy day as I stare out the window so the tone of the tune matches up quite nicely. Nit-picking would be the level of the lead vocal might be a bit high, timing slightly off in one spot... but nit-picking for sure.

WHAT! Did you say WHOLE family! Please don't tell me the kids cry and the grannies groan because I won't sleep at night. Sorry to put your family through so much pain and may I suggest you press play when X factor is on like my mum does. The headache is less severe she reported back.
Thank you so much. Appreciate it.
I like it. Actually I liked the first couple of minutes a lot and it made me laugh. I just kind of worried it went on a touch too long, but it is really well put together and I am looking forward to hearing more from the album. You’ve mixed it very nicely and all the components come through clearly. Great stuff
I really enjoyed this, loved the gentle synth melody, liked the structure and feel to the whole thing. Beautifully mixed as always. There’s something about the snare sound that troubles me but I think that’s a taste thing. I did agree with an earlier poster that it feels like tightening up the lyrics/vocal timing just a bit would help a great deal, although I would say this is one of my favourite by your good self, I think because of the mellow uncluttered feel. Great stuff
@lukesleepwalker, I loved it! The punchy, in your face sound you get right from the beginning with the drums and bass... Just a great, full, punchy tone. The 2 vocal parts fit perfectly together, just the right amount of reverb, and nice job panning them away from each other. I loved the "knocking" sound you brought in the right channel around the :52 mark. I honestly wasn't a huge fan of the acoustic guitar (the sound, not the part). A little too "jangly" and "buzzy" for my ears. I might have tried a relatively clean electric with just the slightest touch of distortion. I liked the first entrance of the electric guitar in the left channel, but the solo sounded a bit too loud and bright for my taste. Other than that, I thought the mix was really good, and performance all the way around was top notch. Great first submission!
@AndyPlankton, definitely liked the bass and drums, both the sounds and the parts themselves. I'm a sucker for that '80s drum sound, and though I'm not positive that's what you were going for, I thought it worked great. I went back and forth on whether the keyboard/organish part worked, but I'm leaning toward yes! Only thing that didn't do it for me (and this is very different from what I normally write and listen to) is the "vocals". Again, there's nothing "wrong" with them; I just normally use vocals as a melody source, and here they seemed more of a sound effect. All in all, an enjoyable listen!
@Retzilience, one of the coolest drum grooves I've heard in a while, had a nice swing to it. I also like using an acoustic guitar sound almost as a pad. The electric guitar entrance at 1:45 was nice, and the little "whistle" sound that pokes in toward the end jumped out at me in a positive way. Only gripe would be one of personal preference: As mentioned in an earlier review, I'm not so much a "sound effect" writer/listener as I am one who is drawn to chord progressions and melodies. Hence, pieces that sort of substitute interesting sounds and vocal samples for sung or played melodies aren't always going to do it for me. But I certainly appreciate the creativity it takes to put all that together, and like I said, loved the drum groove!
I know we're ALREADY into the thrum of November, but wanted to say I thought this was a fine month's worth, now consigned like chip paper, but all the same. Good submissions and great commentary. I like this place!
I don't think we're quite done yet, a few stragglers still have the odd review to submit.
Uh-oh, forgot about the big red pencil and the big black book Guv'nor....
Quite a high cost of entry nowadays.
True, doing decent reviews is a pretty time-consuming endeavor. But the whole edifice is built on reciprocity, without it we're just a bunch of children shouting for attention.
Back to the creche for me
@richardyot Sorry to say this one disagrees with me, and I've been having a hard time deciding exactly why. Something about how all the parts follow so closely together. The "tum.. bap.. tumtum" of the bass drum seems to permeate the rhythm of every part, making it lurch in a way that seems to drag everything down. The organ's single chord per bar doesn't help.
If I can draw an anology, it's like you're painting with a single brush and limited colors, so bring some more notes into the rhodes, or maybe change it to a drone. Either technique may help. I like the solos, but they follow the rhythmic patterns too closely, too. Stretch some of its notes clear across two bars and make it cry a little maybe.
One thing I just noticed, listening again, is that you almost invariably emphasize the syllable at the beginning of each bar, right along with the organ. I think this might be the main thing that was bugging me. Sometimes you gang up a syllable group right on the ones, too, so if you can find a way to make the vocal rhythm more varied, things might really start falling more into place. Hope this helps.
@Retzilience, nice blend of sampled vocals, acoustic instruments and electronic stuff. Loved it. The reverse guitar (was it really a guitar) stood out. Well done!
@lukesleepwalker, great pop tune, really enjoyed the blend of acoustic guitar and the techno loop. Great vocal duo, really awesome! The melody is catchy, like pop songs must be. Thanks for sharing!
@AndyPlankton, interesting compsoition. The moogy bass line reminded me of Vangelis’ Blade Runner ending. Great song that could as well work as a soundtrack for an acion/sci fi movie.
@Bartlinux, great, infectious beat! I love old school techno, which your song reminds me of. Keep it up!
@MonzoPro, great experimental stuff. Heavily processed, isn’t it? This song, like many others of yours, have a soundtrack-like quality. Enjoyed this.
@aaronpc, despite being purposedly an experimental work, your song is clearly structured in a very traditional manner, verse-bridge-chorus, with a quite catchy melody. In fact I enjoyed this, sounded like modern pop music worh a twist. Keep them coming!
@crouchie, your voice is so good - a great baritone, reminds me of bowie a little. So why the heck you keep on burying it in the mix? Other than that, a great song, perhaps my favorite of this month. Bravo!
