He needs feedback on these two tunes to decide which to submit for the up and coming NFO project.

"thicker" sounds like Larry Graham...which is a compliment.nice message.good production.I like the fade out funk vamp."thicker than blood" is definitely the one for the album.I mean no disrepect when I say that this music sounds very familiar. I can't remember the name of the guy who looked like Prince that came on this forum a few months ago, oh yeah (Jules) I think it was. That's who this sounds like. Is it him? I was wondering where he went.

His name was Julian's Ride. Is that the one on these songs?

I don't think it's Julian. The other song reminds me more of the chilipeppers. But that's cool.

Hey MuziqMaker! Introduce yo' bad self!

No, I'm not Julian but I know him from a long time ago. Growing up in the Chicago music seen you meet and work with a lot of great people. Thanks for the feedback though.

You made it!

Welcome!

Yes, and if it were'nt for you I wouldn't have made it! By the way, Entropy is great! I haven't worked with Ingrid Chavez for years and she immediately came to mind when I heard it. Having said that, it also makes me feel as if I'm riding on this incredible private trip through YOUR mind. Great Tune!

Wow, did you work with Ingrid Chavez? I was kinda going for Madonna's Erotica vibe, but that works too! Thanks for the compliment. I'm working on the track right now, with Jem. He's going to add some guitar and I'm really excited to see what comes out!

I like both of them.
The second song sounds a little muffed.

Is it just a lower quality (bit rate) mp3?

I really like these tracks, but I am very fond of the song "Thicker Than Blood". I think that song would be a good addition to the NFO project 2. I agree with TalMuzic that this one is very similar to something Larry Graham would do!

Good job, Muziq!

Peace,
JD

So far it looks like it's gonna be "Thicker".
Thanx

I can't hear Larry at all on this song. In the very beginning, with the deep voice intro, maybe.

The harmonized guitar / vocals and the chorus stands on it's own.

The production on this song is awesome! You must have worked VERY hard on this song and it REALLY shows.

I love it more with every listen. I hear-by nominate this one as next single for Project two!

Great hook!

(With a certain B-side to boot! he knows who I'm talking about)

So either this sounds a lot like something that got a lot of airplay or the hook is THAT GOOD that it's stays in your head like that.

I'm diggin this one!

And I'm digg'n you. Thanx Much

J s'J

it keeps cutting off on me every 10 seconds and stuff so, i'll just wait till i hear ur jam!

Keep them coming.
These are great!

what I really meant was that it sounds alot like Larry Graham after he got Prince-ized. It sounds like something Prince would collabo with Larry for one of his (Larry's) projects.

Thicker Than Blood is the NFO track all the way! Wow! What a great voice! Lyrics are cool. Nice, positive message. Great keyboards too!

Hey Muziqmaker! Welcome to the insane place of inspiration, support and critique. hehe I will check out your samples now. From the response it seems to be some good stuff. Good luck in the future. Take care everybody! :+)
