I'm interested to know what you all think:

TRACK 1 http://zoon.tripod.com/coolandcold.mp3 (The Cool and the Cold - intro)

TRACK 2 http://zoon.tripod.com/perfect.mp3 (Perfect)

TRACK 3 http://zoon.tripod.com/honeywecould.mp3 (Honey, We Could Make A Home)

TRACK 4 http://zoon.tripod.com/thegirl.mp3 (Try To Stop The Girl)

TRACK 5 http://zoon.tripod.com/itsover.mp3 (It's Over - outro)

You'll need to right click and "save target as".

OR you can stream all of these songs in one go as the demo was meant to be played or as single tracks at: http://www.soundclick.com...pmusic.htm

Cheers!

Number three and number 4 are the stand out tracks for me. Lost love? Unrequinted love? Fiction? Do tell.

eatenplum said:

Thanks.

They're both based on real events in my life...

I agree, they are the standout tracks. I think track 4 is probably the best on there.

No one else had a listen yet?

Beau?

CloudNine?

hey everybody here is the fifth Beatle. no doubt about it. Hook up with Artist 08 and put together a monster track. good stuff.

you gotsta right click and save target as or it won't work.....or try my soundclick page.

i enjoyed them,

the light rock funk on perfect works well and the demo sound - small room reverb gives it a quirky feel. the vocals could be louder though in places.
the tracks sound a bit like beck but the vocals sound like ash, laidback spoken type

Someone mentioned me???

spoida said:

Thanks for the positive comments. In future recordings I think my vocals will be improved and clearer/louder.

It's been a chaotic week. Sorry.

I'm on it right now. Really liking it - I'm streaming the whole thing all together, so, I probably wont know which song is which. I really like the horn hits.

It reminds me of early/mid INXS right now. Your voice sounds cool - what kind of mic are you using - it's very very lo-fi, but works for the music.

Yeah it's not a great mic, it's a clone of some kind of good vocal mic I've been told, but not a very good clone. INXS ay? Never would have thought of that comparison, but I do like some INXS. Yeah as for horns, I'll be playing more sax and getting a trumpet player in for my next batch of songs and now that I have a band together, there'll be keys, live drums, some funky bass and basically a better overall sound. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

ahhhhh

Finally got a chance to listen!

Cool stuff man!

Very conistant and it stands well on its on from start to finish, period!

Very impressive

wish I'd written these...

Styles said:

wow, thanks a lot Josh, that's about the best review i've had on the org!

Cheers!

You know, I'd really love some more reviews....

smoke some

and then listen to my shit....

it sounds really good that way!

i gave perfect another listen (its been in my head since i first heard it a couple of weeks ago, that sax riff is really cool) and i think its great, nice guitar....some nice production touches too.

spoida said:

cool, thanks. i've been told i write catchy stuff. thankyou, thankyou.

I just listened to the intro. Its really nice.

BinaryJustin said:

why thankyou.

I just listened to 'Perfect'.

I like the guitar playing at around 1m:45s - its very accomplished and doesn't sound forced. I like the sort of grunge/funk hybrid that you're working.

The melody of the verses sounds a bit like 'Funny Way Of Saying I Love U'. I keep hearing the "ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh" refrain in my head. Its very over-loud. I can't make out what you're singing.

What are the lyrics?

Don't shoot me!

Tell Yoko you want your share of your inheritance....j/k

Nice chord changes! Cool stuff JL would be proud!

Lyrics to "Perfect":

Perfect

(John P Williamson)

VERSE 1:
Oh, you're so wrong
You're absolutely perfect for me
So, what is wrong?
You say you don't deserve this, or me...

CHORUS:

Oh, you make me happy
And I wish I could make you happy too...
Yeah, yeah...

VERSE 2:

Go...I won't be long
I'll be thinking of you, would you miss me?
No, I guess not
I heard a brilliant movie I couldn't see...

CHORUS

GUITAR SOLO

CODA:

Should I change my hairstyle or shave?
'Cause you know I did try to behave...
I was such a good boy
And you were such a good girl
And I think we deserve each other
No, not another
'Cause as you're thinkin' of me...
I am thinkin' of you...
I am thinkin' of you...yeah...
I am thinkin' of you....oh!
You're absolutely perfect.
