The Rainbow Children "homage"

Hello everyone,
I'm a musician based in Milan, I'm recording some covers of Prince and I'd like to know your opinions. Please visit my site: www.palatium-italy.it and look for the page: Mp3.
It's free Download.
Thank you

I just listened to it and I think it is pretty nice. I'd only suggest getting rid of the effect on your main vocal when you start singing 'just like the sun...'.
The effect is only cool for the spoken parts imho.

I really understand any sort of joke.
No problem about that.
Probably, I would say the same.

I'm sure world it's full of musicians.
And maybe someone of you should share with us his/her music.

I agree. Nice work, though - it's always nice to hear some creativity from people here.

nicely done...I wish I had enough musical talent to record a Prince cover. If I did one now, it would have to be straight up acapella style! LOL

hello,
just wake up... it's 10.45am in Italy,

I really wish to thank pray antoon, booyah and princeiscool ( yes, prince is cool, I agree...) you spent time to listen to that music, this is great for me... if you want to send me, privately, your address I can send you a gift. CD


I did with all my heart because prince rules and it's only musician that "teach" something special to me. other musician could teach me how to play, but that's another stuff.. lol

Bridge: to work on "the rainbow children" I didn't have sheet music in front of me, but only his music in my ears.music Now, I can print, sheet music for me and other musicians, did u know it ?

i love those emoticons stuff...

Just listening 2 ur version of Rainbow Children. I am not a "musician" but i do play a little guitar now and again. Ur cover of Rainbow Children is different and i actually like the whole song being sung in "Snagglevoice" i would love 2 hear Prince do the entire song that way! I know a lot of people hate the voice overs on the album but i think they r really really good, so it was nice 2 hear u doing it all in that manner. I think that ur keyboards somewhat drown out the bass and guitar, i think if u toned them down and emphasised the bass line more it wld work just a bit better, thats not a critisicm because its ur work, and im sure ur happy with it and i definetly cldnt do any better!!! But its good 2 hear ur work u must b very talented...I love that song the way u sing in the distorted voice all the way thru (im just listneing 2 ur version again now!) ...yeah def crank up that guitar a little bit man, it would work wonderful!!! thanx 4 sharing ur work...iwishuheaven

Thank you.
I will follow your idea.
So you prefer to hear better guitar and bass ?
I will work to do that.

thank you again
