Hi John - many thanks for your thoughtful review of my tune There But For the Grace of God - I appreciate the words and I'm glad you liked it. Inspires me to keep going! Good Luck with your music! Nigel
You're welcome, Nigel. I liked those 80s songs as well. "One Night in Bangkok," "Life in a Northern Town," "Sanctify Yourself," the punk of Echo & the Bunnymen, Joy Division, stuff I can't write or record...and I loved the fluffy, sugary ballads of the Carpenters and David Gates (my "Stay Here Now" reflects that), and the disco tinged songs of the Bee Gees (my collaboration with Robert Quigley on "You Can Feel It"). Robert and I have realized we've got to update our sound and go more towards EDM, so I've been teaching myself mix/mastering and we'll look more into those styles. I love the mix of New Age synths and the energy that EDM has. I'd say with your songwriting skills, your dream of having a pop artist record your songs is in your favor. Best to you, Nigel. I included you in my latest news (not that I have any kind of following) but maybe a few friends will drop on by to listen to your pieces. John
Thanks for the review of my tune Sorry! I appreciate the detailed feedback and suggestions. For info 'Ms Scheindlin' was a reference to Judge Judy (Scheindlin) and the being judged inference in the story in the song. Thanks again! :-)
Hi Nigel - Thanks for the follow-up. It's a nice song. Ah...OK...the Judge Judy reference might narrow your audience, though. The lyrics have a nice impact when you're staying with YOUR feelings and thoughts. Good luck with it!
Hi Nigel, Thanks for listening to "Do You Wanna Dance". Sorry you hated it, but jeez, it's just a cover of a 1958 R&R tune by Bobby Freeman, tried to make it a little retro. Still friends I hope, like your stuff... Bill
Oops! Sorry Bill!
Thanks Fred for the review of Whatcha Gonna Do! I appreciate it and am glad you like it! Good luck and keep your music coming!
Hey Nigel. Thanks for your review of my song Dare to Love. It made me chuckle. Always interesting to see how the music hits people. Sending some good thoughts and positive vibes for the new year. xo kj
Hi Kate! Thanks for your review of My Electric Face. The title refers to Time - the face of a clock. Glad you enjoyed it! It's as you suggested, intentionally dark, post apocalyptic. Thanks again!
You are welcome
"Please Be Discreet" and "For What It's Worth" Thanks for the thoughtful reviews... Marvin
Bob thank you for the review of my instrumental tune Tenderly - I appreciate your comments and I agree that the drum track should be lower in the mix. I'll revisit it and remix pater. Cheers!
Really nice tune though!
Thank you brother, I have 3 new ones coming soon!
Thanks for your review of All of the Above funky instrumental! I like that you like! Vocal version on my song list (plus a keys only and electronic version). I appreciate your time to review. Good luck to you with your music!
William thanks so much for the review of my song Stronger. I really appreciate your critique! Some great ideas. Thank you!
Nigel, listening to "All of the Above", very cool vibe, Love your Voice Dude!! You have a Thomas Dolby thingy going on here 5 Stars & Likes!! Great Job!! Art Corey................
Thanks! I love a lot of Thomas Dolby stuff so I take that as a compliment. Thanks for listening!
Nigel, I can really hear the Thomas Dolby influence!! I was a huge Fan of Mister Dolby, saw him in a one man concert.....he was incredible! Toodles, Stay Safe wear a Mask!!
Hi Bob many thanks for the review of my tune All of the Above. There is a full-on funky version on my page that you might like! Thanks for listening!
Glad you liked our version of Road Song. Thanks for listening.
Thanks for the review of Music Man Tonight, Nigel. Much appreciated, and I'm glad you liked the harmonies which were all done in 1 take (limited budget, and I sang and stacked all of them).
Hey Nigel, another very cool tune Sir!! Sounds like UK 80's stuff!! Loved all the English Groups during that era!! They were so original back during that time!! 5 Stars & Likes.......... Toodles, Stay Safe and sport a Mask!! Art Corey...............
Thanks guys - very much inspired by the LA based duo called Drab Majesty. They are so retro I love it. :-)
Hey Nigel, Killer Track!!, "SOS Funk". It sounds like West End UK Music from the 80's.....Great Tune!! Love your Bass part!! This might sound very Cool with a Lead Melody & Lyrics....just a thought!! Toodles, stay safe & Wear a Mask!! You know the Drill! The Corey's...............
"Laguna Beach" is lovely smooth jazz. You are correct about Freddy Mercury's talents ("Barcelona Intro"). The entire group of Queen were made up of incredible virtuosos!
Hi John and thanks for the review of my instrumental version of my tune The Grace of God. I appreciate your critique! The more it developed the more I heard it as a Michael Jackson type ballad. You might detect a hint of inspiration by the likes of Quincy Jones etc. Good Luck to you with your music!
Ever heard of an 80's British band called The Bible? Check out some of their tracks such as Crystal Palace, Honey Be Good, Skywriting. etc I think you might like them.
Thank you for your appreciation of my tune Piano Man!!
Thank you for the kind review of Crosstown Drag. Marc
Bill thanks for the review of my tune Saxerly. Your comments are spot on! I must re-visit it and amend the melody line and give it a more recognisable dynamic. Thanks again.
Can't thank you enough for the glowing review of 'Ghost Dancing'. Much appreciated, thanks for your time and good luck with your music.
Thanks for the review of Quantum Dance! It's a dance version of a more jazz based version I originally wrote - you're right about the 80's vibe - my sound library is not modern, sadly. Thanks again. I appreciate it.
Hey guys thank you for the review of my tune All of The Above - really appreciate your words! Good Luck with your music! Nigel
Hi John, many thanks for your review of the keyboard version of my tune All of the Above. I have a funky version too. For info I did turn the books on the perspective towards the end of the song - where the lyrical content comes from the perpetrator rather than the recipient of events.......thanks again!
Hi, Nigel. I'll listen to the other versions, too, and a few others. You write terrific songs!
Thanks Nigel for your fair review on Upside Down. Nice to meet you ! Cheers from Quebec. (reading your profile, you are like me a happy owner of a Korg Trinity :-). Best wishes for 2021!
Thanks also for the second review (on Les Sens Uniques). Even if not your specialty, I really appreciate your time and fair words about it.
Hi Nigel. Thank you for your review of 'The Way You Change'. Glad you like the song. Happy New Year! David.
Hey thanks for the review of my instrumental version of my tune What ya gonna do? You were right - all done on one synth - I have very little kit sadly! I'm first and foremost a bass player but learnt keys as a youngster and now play by ear. Thanks for your take! Good Luck to you!
This is even MORE awesome if your primary instrument is bass, but you churned out this lil' gem! I'm even more impressed, sir! LOVE IT!
Thanks so much for your review!I enjoy your work as well. I'd love to collaborate
Hey Nigel. Thanks for reviewing my song When love Comes. Appreciate your listen. Sending good vibes to you. kj
