Sorry, but the songs 2 to 4 are not downloadable. But the rest kicks me away...wow!!!

Demo1 has a really good organ sound - absolute amazing...
Demo5 has so wonderful guitar strikes and a delicious head voice...

Hey, Shboom! You're making revivals, aren't you?

Hey shboom,

Thanx guys for the heads up on the problem. I'll have to look into it tonight. Sorry 'bout that. Don't know what's up with the .ftp
I'll try reloading.
Glad you enjoyed what you were able to hear....Thanx for the nice comments.

I think I've got the problem fixed.
Don't want to get technical here but basically, the kadiddle wasn't allowing the foo foo attenuator to transfer the whatchahoozie from the thingamabob.

My apologies for any kafuffles.

Shboom,
You have a very nice voice.
I mean this in a non gay kind of way....
Me and the wife listened to track 5 several times.
NIce guitar work too.
Track 3 and 4 have a very warm 70's kind of sound to them.
I like!

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Did you speed them up? The demos #2 thru #4 came in a hellish speed down from the net. I guess they want to catch up the first downloads...

A little country time with demo #2. It has some good backing voices and a really good lead voice. The organ sounds cool and nosy, I like organs...

The demo #3 reminds me of an old Doors number. It's a typical song of the late 60's. I can imagine that this is a really good life number...

Huuuuh, what a lucky man he was, yeah! White horses...I don't remember when I've heard this song the last time!!!!!
Who was the original player? I don't remember his name...

Cool, Shboom! I would really like to hear and see you in a live concert!!!

Lucky Man was originally done by Emerson Lake & Palmer. It's not quite the synth sound I want, but it was as close as I could get in a pinch. We'll actually be doing it live for the first time this weekend. Changed the ending 'cos you can't really drag it out "live" like the original, at least not at a dance.
#1: Crowded House's....."Better Be Home Soon".
#2. A Blue Rodeo song: 'Til I am myself again".
#3> rendition of Smashmouth's "Walkin' on the Sun".
I ripped these as MP3Pros, which might explain the download speed.
Thanx for the critique guys.

Ed...(or is it Seinfeld).....just rattlin' your chain my friend.

Uh!!! Could you hear the hand clap at the front of my stirn? How could I forget it???

Oh, by the way, I think I remember who wrote "Wheels In The Sky"! I've asked it in another thread (I think it was about OTs)...it was Journey, wasn't it?

I still love the organs...I can't get enough from organs!!! Well, I created sooo many organ sounds but there wasn't THE sound until today. But nevertheless they all sounds absolutely good to me. I don't know why but I think it's the mystery itself that's lieing in the sound. It's a kind of magic...

I love them all. My favorite is #1 and my second favorite is #5. I'd LOVE to hear #5 with a little more delay and reverb on the vocal, but it is very good now.
What instruments were used and what mic?

Shboom....Man I liked everything I heard but from my stand point I think I would have the vocals a little more in front you know increase the volume...the harmony was tight and good, I just had trouble trying to listen to the vocals...man it was all great
just give us more volume with the vocals IMO .....
who was singing lead?...again man, very tight harmony...give us more.....

Thank You StPatrick
Thank You Tony
All demos were recorded in my studio. As for demo#1. the original is by the band "Crowded House" entitled "Better Be Home Soon". Everything was recorded to a Korg D8. The main kb is my Korg T3. I used my SP100 for Piano/String on "Crying". Guitars used were Danelectro 12 and Fender Tele. Mic: EV457. All guitar & vocal effects are onboard D8.
I'm singing on all 5 demos.
Thanx again for your critique.
