Lyrics

I just kissed
Your Mistress
I couldn't resit
Your tempest

I just fought
Your Outlaw
I watched his fall
Your outlaw

Opportunity
Nods its head again
What you see
Is not always what you get
Impunity
Will you be my friend?
Will you step on down
and Make Your Bet

	Cool Very cool, indeed. You might want to bring the lead guitar down just a tiny bit and the vocals up. I think the vocals are good, but I just couldn't hear them well enough. Slap up the lyrics as well! Good job! Check out my latest song called Preparation

This is very cool but needs a little work on the mix. The
rawness is a good thing so no problems there. Like Einarus
said, the vocals sound well performed but they get lost in the
music. There's a lot of power in this. Just get the levels
adjusted better and get the parts in the right spaces. I'd like
to hear the bass break away every once in a while from the
short quarter notes.

	Smiling Kittens! Nice piece. Agree with E, the mix is a bit heavy on the lead and bass. Bass is a bit thumping and guitar is a little overpowering against the vocals. Still, great piece! Check out my latest song called Loose Anna By You III (w/ Epileptic Gibbon)

Bowie'ish
Apart from the allready mentioned mixing issues you've made a clever piece of rock music here. The short echo effect on the vox is typical Bowie, and your voice reminds me of him as well:)

Cool daring choice of guitars and bass groove. Dig the machine effect you made with the guitars a while into the song. A bit of pink floyd there...

You've spent some time arranging this I guess. Well done man:)

Thanks!
Thanks to all who have taken the time to listen and post comments/review!!! Yeah, it's weird, it seems all of my songs suffer from the "buried vocals" issues mentioned already here. I swear when I mix the song in GB their fine - front and center and easily the loudest part of the track.... but then when I mixdown to iTunes and post the mp3, they slide back a ways and muck it up with the guitars. I guess I just need to keep that in mind and mix them louder than I normally would. Thanks again!!!

	Swathes of guitar heaven Really nice track...the vocals are cool in a kinda Bowie/ Mott the Hoople style. Very wall of guitar sound throughout and I like those weird electronic bits that come in towards the end Steve Check out my latest song called Only Tomorrow

	Big sound This has serious potential. You're right about the pinhole mic needing replacement! I suspect that would make a huge difference to this track. I'd also boost the drums (and bass). Light and shade is good, and the vox sounds good too. Give it some tweaks for some big scores - and buy or borrow a decent mic. Good track Neil Check out my latest song called INTO THE BLUE

	Beautiful... This makes a great noise in a sort of loud way... your vocals are really great... they may be low but I can hear every word. I lreally ove the weird noisy bit three-quarters of the way through too Check out my latest song called Had We But World Enough

	Guitars Guitars Guitars Not my music, but artistically great. Vocals are great also. Really like the mix up fill in the middle. Great work. Nice!!! Check out my latest song called FP Tour

	This is great! I loved the mix. The vocals are clear and the mix you have as well as the part toward the middle evoke a feeling of choas and confusion. DL/9s! Check out my latest song called Broken Hearted - Redux

Jekyll and Hide
Very compelling groove, I dig the power and drive. The mix
is a little off-uptting in my ears, but the dirtiness gives it a
certain aura of some guy stalking a gentleman in a top hot
thru the alleys of London, slipping into his mistress'
apartment... like Jekyll and Hide. Very cool. The whole sound
grew on me in a King Crimson powerful way. Really nice
track.

Check out my latest song called Dignity

	Epic This song is epic in nature. I love the guitar track but it could be a little more back in the mix. I enjoy the lyrics as well. Isn't mouse-point keyboard playing a bitch? Check out my latest song called The End

I'm 31 and have been playing guitar since I was 9. I really wanted to play the drums, but my mom wanted me to play church songs and Christmas songs, so I took guitar lessons. Didn't really like it at first. Then, in junior high, I discovered The R... [see more]
