Hey, this is an original sounding tune. I like
the quirky instrumental pieces individually, and
they all work together well. Tight number. The
middle breakdown section didn't completely work
for me. But the before and after work so well I
can't hold that against the song. This is an
original and catchy number.
MY GOD! Finally a song that I truly love!
As soon as this song started I knew it was going
to be great. The intro reminded me very much of
one of my fav bands called "The Tea Party". The
music is very thick, very well written, hooky
parts flow smoothly in and out everywhere. I
love the verses, and I love the chorus...I'm
excited that I got the chance to hear this. The
vocalist is really good, does a good job of
fronting this very solid music. Most singers
would not measure up, but I tip my hat to you.
Yes, this is what we need to get back on the
radio!

Cool sounds at the beginning.. Sounds like a
movie soundtrack song. Good voice, it has a
really good tone.. The lyrics are pretty cool,
sounds pretty political.. The rhythym and the
beat are pretty cool. Nice production on this
one. Not a bad song.
Interesting intro, excellent groove once the
beat comes in. I think the music is fabulous.
The vocalist has a great voice, really cool vibe.
The only complaint that I have about this is
that the vocal is placed so "in" the music that
it doesn't really carry the song as much as it
should (afterall you have a great singer!) It
would be nice if the vocal was a bit out of the
track, just to draw attention to itself.
Overall, I think the track is great.
This starts off with a movie soundtrack feel
that Sting would be proud of. But then
you take it into the world of Evanescence
guitars, and a very cool unique vocal. I like
it. Your programmer deserves a raise because the
sequence here is HOT. I really like the
treatment on the vocal. Those are fantastic
guitar tones. You win.
ethnic feel, very different nice change from the
intro, vocals are well done and production is
top notch, like to hear a little back up
vocals though. overall good job.
The intro sounds very System Of A Down-ish. The
production and the transition between verses and
choruses are really, really cool. The lyrics and
vocals go very well with the song. Very
original and very good.

Very exotic intro! You did a nice job of
meshing the eastern sounds of the intro with the
heavy guitar (which sounded a bit like a Violent
Femmes riff). I had little difficulty
understanding the singer but that could've just
been the flange effect. Overall I thought that
the melody line was good and the hook inticing.
Great job of reintoducing the theme ala keyboard
throughout. Good song.

Liked the synths a lot. Has a very Steve Vai
"Fire Garden" sound. The Vocals are cool too.
This is a cool sound. I like it a lot. I liked
the over dubbed vox. Very Well Done.
This number has a fast devolping fantastic intro
and also has multiple cool Far-Eastern/rock
patterns weaving behind a nice series of vocal
lines. The song gives a definite picture and
refreshingly - the melody and lyrics support
each other wonderfully. It has a great groove
both rythmically and melodically. It is a
great example of inspiration and craftwork
all the way around.
Nice beat. Reminds me a little of Bon Jovi's new
stuff. I love the strings. Nice production.
Guitars are also very engaging. I think the
melody is very good, but the vocals are a little
far back in the mix for my taste. I love the
part wiith the voices talking and the weird
electronics going. It really flows nicely back
into the last chorus. Pocket lining. We choose
them to lead. Is this song about corrupt cops?
Interesting topic. Very creative. It's not
just another love song. Production this one
also gets extra credit
very nice Keyboards. all of a sudden this turns
into a harder song. This has quite a bit of
Ozzy Osbourne Influince. the production is
welld one. Nice Vocals.
The intro to this song is great. Very
experimental and unique. Very beatles like.
Great build up into the verse. The production in
this song is border line perfect. Levels are all
perfect. Singer has a great voice. Im a big fan
of harmony vocals, so i think that would improve
the song. The drums and bass are the back bones
to this song, dead on and keeping everyone
together. Very nice work.
Very catchy instrumentation and song. The
production is awesome and the mix brings out all
the stuff that's going on so that it doesn't
seem too busy. I love the middle eastern
influenced elements as well. My only wish is
that the vocals were louder. Great overall
though.
okay, that's some turkish shit there. i love
turkish music. cool sound. doesn't sound like
anybody else that i know, but still has a pop
sensibilty about it.
wow! my favorite type of stuff going on!!!
hard hitting world rock! reminds me of The
Tea Party! I hope you have some more songs that
I can jam to. finally! Good Luck!
One of the most interesting sounds I've heard
in a while. I like the whole "eastern"
feel...sitars (I think)and other effects to give
it that far-off motif. The guitars are powerful
and sound great. The vocals, however, change the
whole mood of the song. The sound kind of woosey,
and seemed a little too feminine for this type
of song. On key always, though. Good work.
And far out, this is a very skillfull
composed song. High points for originality,
love the easter'n theme, it's really, really
cool. It's got a good production, which helps me
understand in what direction you want the song
to go, and may I add it is a good one!
Pretty clever production work here. Nice guitar
riff that's under the vocal enough to not
distract. Great vocal line. Interesting song
structure that stays on track. Songwriting is
strong, as is the performance.

I'm waiting.....I like this one....cool
sitar...cool vox.....don't like the pause so
soon in the first verse.....but I can handle
it,,,,cool song...you got my vote.........good
luck

The eastern sahara dezert feel was an unusual
way to start this song, but I liked it. The
production to this piece is fantastic. Very good
song arrangement. This song has it all. I
was even looking for sub titles somewhere. Very
Good song, should be going somewhere.
nice hooking intro. grabs attention right away
with the effects. has a nice arabian feel to it
with the sitar's. this kind of song reminds me
of incubus. vocals are very unique and pleasent.
good guitar progression, used well with the
exotic quailities of the song. this is very
outside the box, and very cool, which is a
powerful combo. i think u guys got somthin
here.
Intro is OK, maybe too long. I didn't know what
was coming next. Progresses nicely. Nice mix of
styles and composition. Vocal effects are good.
Most reviewers here seem to like near Dry vocals
- i don't. Samples add nicely to the arrangement
at the Bridge. Production is good. Nice job.
Really interesting intro, well produced sound
and recording. Vocals are excellent, and string
section adds alot to this band. This song, needs
a video in back of it, it's totally terrific.All
the middle East music in the back ground, adds a
lot to the song. Finally a song with a
message!!!!!
Very nicely arranged introduction. This song has
a couple good hooks. Good voice, and in key.
Production is good. Digging the drummer. Guitars
and keys work very well here. Good job!
- Grimm_Cadaver from Burbank, California on 1Oct2004
This is awesome. This intro has the
coolest arabian feel. That was awesome from the
rattle to all the effects. Extra credit for
sequencing. This mix sounds almost pro. I like
the guitar tone and the bass melody. The drummer
is tight. The vocalist has a really good voice,
but I'm not fond of the chosen effect.
I like the breakdown at 2:53. News reports
always make a good statement.
WOW - disturbing electronic rock style
intro, breaks into an exotic keyboard (?) driven
rock tune. This reminds me of The Tea Party's
"Transmission" record - hot stuff! Great vocals
fit ontop of this trippy, ever shifting
soundscape. Top notch song with great production
and originality. I doubt that I'll ever hear
this one on the radio, but I will place it on my
playlist
- Ironcount from Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada on 30Sep2004
I love the electronics in the beginning of this
song. Egyptian feel is very nice, let's see how
it pans out. Nice vocals and the production and
mixing is very well done.
Strings, guitars, drums, shakers, computers,
vocals...this song has it all. The song starts
off tricking you into thinking it might be an
instrumental. The begining sounds like it could
easily get into some kind of film. Female vocals
and drums kick in after an attention grabbing
intro. (which to me sounds I guess Arabian,
Middle Eastern?) I think the vocals mix nicely
with the music. The verses changed the tone of
the music from a movie setting to an actual
song, which to me was an interesting spin. I
liked it.
Luv the eastern feel then into the rock guitar
licks. Nice melody, good vocals, nice
production. Would definately play this for my
own pleasure. Very balanced track. Good luck :o)
Very interesting vibe mixing traditional eastern
sound with electronic samples. Guitars add heavy
edge and parts of the chord progression
(pre-chorus/bridge ?)were very effective. Middle
section with radio commentary backing was very
effective.
Vocals were good and quite distinctive.
Basically, really enjoyable song and very
marketable I would think, I will certainly
listen to it again. I would like to here further
material. Do you always go for eastern feel ? Is
that characteristic of this song ? If so, what
does other material sound like and how do you
ensure it still sounds like same band ?
