Title: Winters Child Listen here
Artist: Karma Police (UK)
Genre: Electronic / Ambient
Karma Police is one of those unique talents.
His music is fresh and beautifull.
This track have a special tone, a special flavour wich is different from the usual ambient tracks.
The sound of the pads used here are great. The curiosity is that the track got a beat but not a bass. This shows that the author is not bounded with formulas and concepts. Does this piece need a bass line? Not at all. The track is very complete as it is.
It is a simple track: a beat, some pads and synths and voices.
The voice is delivered beautifully by LisaT. Another curiosity is the voice in layers here. LisaT was recorded several times in order to make this track. It could be a bit "too much" but it is not. Very nice
A great track from a great project.
I am looking forward to hear more from Karma Police featuring LisaT.
Well done.

Title: comin home Listen here
Artist: beatbreaker18
Genre: Hiphop instrumental
Well, what can I say about this track?
It is well produced yeah, Sounds good and everything. Obviously made to be a playback for a rap/hiphop song, wich appears to have an enourmous market hungry for the so called "beats"
This track is nothing that you never heard before. It is just like everything you hear all around. Do not get me wrong, it IS good if you like the style.
In therms of composition, I think it is weak. Two chords all the time is too boring in my opinion.
Thge author could be more creative in this aspect.
Could be better.

Title: Brainwasher Listen here
Artist: Jerry Santos
Genre: Metal
Here is a well engineered tune from a very nice Metal project.
It appears to be compositions produced by Mr. Santos mostly.
Also containing a little help from his fellows musicians from the band "Fear Itself".
I know that Mr. Santos is playing all guitars here. Great guitar work, I must say.
Excellent riffs with a powerfull sound. Everything you need in a metal guitar production. Very nice.
I enjoyed very much the guitar and drums work a lot. I cannot hear the bass. It is probably there but, as usual in the genre, you cannot hear it.
It is not clear to me if Jerry Santos is also singing here. I have to say this is the weak point of the song.
It is not particularly well sung, on the contrary, it is very bad vocal work.
It could be an excellent song but the voice is preety much jeopardizing what could be an excellent metal song.
That said, I have to say that the effects on the voice are not helping either.
It could be better if the voice was muted or the vocalist assassinated.
Jokes apart, perhaps Mr. Santos could find a decent rock singer for this piece.
Good metal song with a terrible voice.

Title: Love me 4 me Listen here
Artist: Haleamano HaleAmanO
Genre: Reggae
This is usual reggae song. A good one. There is a lot of preety bad reggae songs around. I liked this one.
There is nothing too special or breakthrough here, it is a song to hear and enjoy. It is about love. Love is always nice in my opinion.
What got my attention is the fact that it begins with an excellent refrain. Very different from what you may expect. The format always makes you expect an intro, then a verse, then a refrain. I think is very nice to begin with the refrain in your face, so to speak. Of course it will only work if it is a good refrain. This one is very good. The vocal work is exceelent.
I liked also the hawaian guitar (what is the name of it?) playing along all the song. It fits like a glove.
Also the "wurlitzer-clavier-like" is very nice here. Not new but works well in this piece.
Overall I liked the song, the only thing is the quality of the streaming, wich is not good. Too lofi to my taste.
I would prefer a better sounding encoding.
Other than that it is just fine.

Title: You guide my way Listen here
Artist: Noisy Kung Fu Noisy Kung Fu - Christian Rock for East Texas
Genre: Christian Pop Rock
One of the members of the band asked me to review this song. I wonder why.
I do not want to be offensive, rude or anything but I cannot lie as well.
This song is horrible in all aspects.
It is extreme badly played, all instruments.
It is badly sung too. If I could understand the words I could also form an opinion about the lyrics.
It is also very bad engineered, making it a bit worst than it really is.
I think that even that if it was well recorded it would be a bad song.
No good, no good.
Very bad musicians playing an horrible song.

Title: I'm gonna get you Listen/watch here
Artist: Neanderpaul
Genre: Experimental
The author says that he calls this type of pice "freaky spoken word".
I Do not agree. It is so, so funny. Makes me laugh a lot when I was hearing.
The author here is obviously one of that kind that is a flood of creativity. He must be a very funny guy in a very weird way. I would like to know him.
This song is fresh. Very unexpected and unusual. I like it a lot.
It is simple. It appears that it was recorded in a 4 track machine.
Only a guitar, bass, neanderpaul´s voice and...a cell phone. Imagine that.
The lyrics is also very simple but great in my opinion.
Must be one of that pieces that you love or hate. I put myself in the part that loves it.
The images in this video are nonsense pictures in sequence.
Worth the listening.
Interesting stuff, very creative and unusual.
A must have werd piece.
5 stars.

Title: After Work, Late at Night Listen here
Artist: André van Haren Online Composer and Writer
Genre: Classical
Absolute music, this is how I call this kind of piece.
Classical composers are very rare, at least good ones.
Mr. Van Haren is one of this rares composers that makes trully beatufull music.
This piece is complex but it is not dificult to listen. As a matter of fact it is very easy to listen.
It is a shame it is only 3 minutes. I hope it is just a part of a longer piece.
The pizzicato bass is just great.
The strings arrangement is just perfect.
A reat work from a true composer.
Obviously, not many composers have the oportunity to have their pieces played by a real orchestra. Mr. Van Haren is one of them.
Most of his pieces are made on computer with simulators and sounds very honest in my opinion.
I listened to one of his pieces with a choir and other instruments. Text from Edgar Allan Poe, very nice. It is real stuff.
After listening the piece a dozen times I am liking it even more.
A must have work from an excellent composer.
