Song Reviews

The fall and rise of Britpop!!

Helpful

This is very much my sort of music. You're are never sure what to expect when you take on a review and so I was pleasantly surprised when "See the sunshine" filled my eagerly awaiting ears with a gorgeous song full of beautifully executed Brit pop influences. This Britpop influence though is very subtly achieved by meshing the key aspects of some of Britain's most influential artists. There is a very definite XTC vibe (personal favourites of mine) and the voice carries many of Andy Partridge's mannerisms (and a fair few of Colin Mouldings'.) I can also hear latter day Kinks and hints of Nineties darlings Supergrass. The guitars sound sublime and are expertly played,- as are all the instruments. This is no mean feat considering this is a one man band. Usually there are some weak points when listening to a multi-instrumentalist; but this guy obviously has talent and nails guitar, bass keyboards and drums/programming.. Having played this song through a few times more while writing this review I seriously would put this up with Apple Venus XTC and this is the XTC album I love most!!! The fact that Acquisotic states that this track is not designed to be "Top 40" says more about the state of mainstream music than it does this song. I would love a chart full of this kind of feel good, well produced and tuneful songs. Any fans of real music should give this a listen.

Easy listening

What to say about this song ? I feel it's easy to listen. And obviously, sounds are clean. Voices have brilliant sounds. Rythm reminds me the song of French singer, Claude François, "cette année-là".

Good Vibe

When we close our eyes, we click, we listen to this single, we seem to be between Sir Paul McCartney and Gong. I do love your song. Cool and positive with a good vibe. That's probably why you're number one on N1M. Cheers!

Balance positive

Un autre titre bien accrocheur de Bruce Gombrelli, toujours dans une influence beaucoup plus British que Californienne. On pense aux Beatles pour l'inspiration et la mélodie avec un riff récurrent rappelant également Peter Gabriel. Guitares lumineuses et arrangements intéressants, même si le son n'est pas tout à fait à la hauteur et reste le point à améliorer pour l'ensemble des titres de cet artiste. On l'écoute et on le ré-écoute avec plaisir, la balance est donc largement positive.

Catchy

I enjoyed this. This was very balanced. It seems you have been doing this a while . I like the sound man and during the middle the guitar gets really interesting. I felt like I got taken into a time warp. Keep going forward with your music. We need positive messages in this world. One Love

quite good

I think this song has some good musical qualities but needs a better musical arrangement. The singer has a distinctive and attractive vocal tone, but is often drowned out by the powerful instrumental accompaniment. The synth tones are far too harsh and strident. The singer should be allowed to dominate the song without having to compete with the accompaniment. The lyrics seem quite interesting, but can't always be heard clearly because of the poor vocal-instrumental balance. It's quite a tuneful song, though, and could be easily improved with a more tasteful instrumental arrangement.

Throwback yellow submarine feel

I thoroughly enjoyed the throwback yellow submarine feel of Unlimited Power Records, See The Sunshine. It has that Beatles feel to it through out that is, post-Revolver, and pre-Abbey Road. Interesting to say the least, that the singer caught the vibe almost perfectly. The production is well done although the description led me to the idea that it was done at home. If it was done at home it was done well, in a home studio, and well mixed. No complaints. Vocal and music talent and quality were quite good. As the author states, it is not modern top 40 material but, who cares? The song is good and reminiscent. In a world were access to the music that caters to you personally is readily available at your finger tips, this song is sure to find an audience who wants the Beatles feel, but, are sick of the Beatles. Job well done sir! Cheers!!!

Captures the essence of the 70´s

Nice happy tune that both vocally and instrumentally captures a lot of the 70´s feeling. I heard inspiration from early Genesis and West coast influence from the US. All in all a thumbs up for those who long back to those great musical times before the pc took over.. ;)

Refreshing brit pop

Nice song structure, airy song and good music performances. This is a refreshing song that reminds a bit of vocal harmonies of the seventies. Refreshing brit pop that feels young and happy! Good work!

Interesting

This song doesn't seem to fit any one category, which is a good thing. The instruments were very well done, with sounds and levels. The singing almost sounds like someone singing in a Play on Stage, which is cool in it's own way. Yes, this is somewhat of a throwback Retro kinda song. Overll, really good, interesting song. Really good on the Vocals, with overdubs. Good strong work! Sincerely Edward Westbrook

Slick Sound

Helpful

Nice guitar pop with a bit of British Invasion inflection to the sound. Not sure of the potential here, but I picture it as being placed in a movie rather than radio. The vocals and harmonies are pleasant but the lyrics don't really grab me as much as the melody. There is a certain sterility to the production that makes me feel like there could be more passion in the overall performance of this particular song. I can't help but feel like there is room for the possibility of surprise or musical danger that would make this more exciting.
