I just put up 2 tracks on Soundclick: Complete versions of Belong and Naked. Please let me know what you think of them and also, if the "hi-fi" stream works. I'm having trouble with that and I'm not sure why.

Hi-Fi Stream works fine. I love these trax. Is there an album on the way?

Thanks for checking them out Camille.

The age-old question. Where is the album? These tracks are demos and people always ask me if I have a cd they can buy. Does it sound finished? I'd feel kinda funny selling it now. I think the quality needs to be improved.

What - no Velvet Promise remake? Hmmm...

Yeah I could only use the Lo-Fi (on the modem) and that works fine without lag or waiting. The tracks are really cool - I like Naked more (standing on the verge of becoming funky! and I like that 80's sound anyway!). Couldn't find candles, but I managed to chill to Belong anyhow. Can't comment of quality as I'm using sad old lo-fi...

Great to hear your music again Vina!

I'm diggin' 'em now, but it is stopping and starting at times with the hi-fi. Then it finally just cut out all together. I like what I hear, but, alas, no Velvet Promise. Anyway, I keep thinking that you sound like somebody, but for the life of me - I just can't think of it.

VinaBlue Very nice

As long as it sounds like someone you like, that's all that matters to me. The cutting out just started happening with me a few weeks ago, so I don't know if it's my computer or newer tracks on the site. Maybe soundclick is running out of bandwidth? Sorry I didn't work on Velvet Promise. I haven't worked on much of my stuff either. These tracks are from 99.

The quality is so yucky on the lo-fi streams. Can you download them? You just have to give them your email I think.

Drezone keeps beggin me to send him my midi files so he can produce Naked for me. Workin on that. DaSilva's producer (the baseplayer) offered to produce a track for me, but I think they are too busy workin on their own stuff. So I'll send it to Drezone to funk it up.

Thanks for listening Taureau.

Thanks Tal and manki for checkin' them out.

I like the beat of Naked.

Thanks for the link Vina! :+) It worked fine. Nice samples, I joined soundclick and voted for you. hehe Take care.

Hey! Naked is #4 in the Electronica:Mellow charts! (And #214 on the Electronica charts... )

Naked chart position

Belong is #21 in the Alternative:Indie charts and #88 in the Alternative charts. I wasn't quite sure what genre to put that one in...

Vina, what's up, girl? I;m really diggin' this feed on Naked. You're sounding very confident on the vocals...cool! Bottom line, very laid back and funky vibe to it. IMHO, that one should have minimal touches put on it, if any. Sounds good as it is.

xpsiter said:

Thanks man! Yeah, that is the original demo from way back when. I've got a new version in the works.

Thanks for listening.

JediMaster said:

Excellent material Vina. I sure wish you would sing on one of my tracks

psykosoul said:

Aaaww shucks

What a nice thing to say.

You remind me of the 80s Prince girls (Sheila, Vanity etc), got a nice MPLS vibe in your work.

MD7 said:

Thanks! I did this one track with Funkaholic, not sure if you heard that one. We posted it months ago, a rough mix of a track we did in the Vanity6 vein. He did the music and I did the vocals. Hopefully we will get a polished version up soon.

Love these tunes Vina. The first one was quiet but that's what the volume knob is for.

Did you say you were re-working them with more polishing?

Maybe in-time for the new NFO project?

Slave2daGroove said:

Yeah, I'm gonna re-record these, but I don't know if they will be done in time for Project 2. Maybe if Dre can produce Naked for me. I have to send him the midi file.

I was thinking of working on My Groove and submiting that with Funkaholic. I kinda want to give people who weren't on Project 1 a chance to be included.
