My word, I've been away for less than a week and this thread seems to have doubled in length.

 

Very lazy, can't be bothered reading it all, just tell me if I missed anything important.

 

I've already recieved my mixtape and I've only just read the mail telling me who to send mine to.

 

Life moves quick around here!!!

 

There were already 1 review.

Got my mixtape, downloading now :wacko:

 

Will upload mine tomorrow :wacky:

just received mine (will upload mine tomorrow).

 

unzipped it, released it have tracks in 3 different formats, so i decided to load and listen it on itunes.

 

track one:

love it, love it, great entrance :nice: string quarted, i think is some bach. (that was played on a monthly event i attened some time ago, so brought many good memories).

 

track two:

acoustic guitar, sounds like mr. luke prictchard, The Kooks, or am i mistaken? although don't sound so the kooks in the middle, yay the voice is of mr. pritchard, i like the chorus "choir".

 

track three:

more acoustic guitar, oh i love that one.... let me think... oh god, is pixies' where's my mind? :blush: love it.

 

track four:

can't define which bands is, i like it, is soft, piano, nice voice, backing vocal.

it feels frustrating because i have the feeling i know that band.... but can't remember the name.... is something in the line of soft coldplay, similar bands like (i can be all wrong :worried: ) definitelly the main melody is so familiar to me.

 

track five:

sounds like mr jack white voice, i could be wrong, but drums and guitar (definitelly is some project in which Mr White is involved) go to sound like The White Stripes, am i wrong? don't know which song is.

 

track six:

found it... doves or elbow (i use to confuse them :embarassed: ) nice guitar chord. "and it's you and it's me" :dance:

 

track seven:

some cover, like a rolling stone by bob dylan... i don't know who covers it :uhoh:

 

track eight:

acoustic entrance, radiohead, that is thom yorke voice... song is... creep. (honestly that song remind me of a person i know, Jonas :worried: )

 

track nine:

(got me screaming aloud really, oh my god), the raconteurs i'm pretty sure... a shame i don't remember the song now.

 

track ten:

another one that sounds familiar... i got the feeling they would be bloc party at first, but now i'm not sure. :shrug: kinda falsetto now...

 

track eleven:

love the entrance, but another song that sound familiar and i have no clue which band is :embarassed: (i get the feeling is a song re-released from some old band or something)

 

track twelve:

another one that sounds so familiar, as the singer voice, as i know the band.... sounds too mellow to say is a incubus song, but sounds like mr. Boyd voice. :thinking:

 

track thirteen:

:dance: i like the progression of sound, so danceable :dance: but again no clue who those are...

 

i'm wondering who made that one. :) (may be nihcoldplay?)

i like the structure it have, how the sound progress on styles and more rhythm, yet i would had let some softer song or instrumental in the middle, (but that it would be me) i really liked it :D well work to whoever did it. :thumbsup:

now i am wondering if my "guesses" are right and to know who those other bands i was not able to identify are.

 

will re-listen it tomorrow, but i don't think my guesses will change much. :\ (big :shame: for me).

At that time of posting I was underneath a car ramp trying to help my dad put a wire cable though some pulleys.

It does indeed

 

:disappointed: .....like someone said... there's programs that will convert them automatically if not already, like iTunes :D

 

I know iTunes does it all automatically :)

so i received mine.

it was quite complicated to download the mixtape songby song from medifire. :dozey:

would've preferred a .zip or .rar file, but nevermind. :laugh3:

 

 

#1 i know this one! it was the theme to that tv show i used to like back in the day, "Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction". :) didn't expect this song to be on a mixtape (awkwardly cool way to kick it off, though).

 

#2 first thought this was a the killers track, but the singer is female. :thinking: her voice is a bit annoying, i must say. :\

 

#3 this is kinda cool. a good song to dance to. and the voice sounds familiar.

 

#4 okay, this must be an owl city song because you didn't delete the album cover. :laugh3: i like it. never heard a song by owl city before, but the singer sounds a tad like ben gibbard. that's a good thing.

 

#5 mad world! it's the gary jules version, though. i loved that track when it first came out.

 

#6 enya! sail away or something. i know this one, too. :)

 

#7 that's one of my favourite u2 tracks! "in a little while" is a nice pick for a mixtape.

 

#8 this is one cool song. the quality is a bit... low, though. :( i know this isn't oasis, but they kinda sound like oasis. :smiley:

 

#9 it's a nice song you'd probably listen to in summer. :laugh3: i like the guitars in it. it's a great feel good track.

 

#10 this is even better. very up-beat and great to dance to. the guy sounds like the singer from bloc party. well, not exactly, but their voices are slightly similar.

 

#11 the killers. there you go. :nice: not really one of my favourites by the killers, but it's still an okay track.

 

#12 awwww. this is a lovely track. again, it's owl city i suppose because of the album cover. :lol: but i adore this one. once again... they kinda sound like daeth cab for cutie. i should really take some time to listen to some of their stuff.

 

#13 i know this, too. this is "flowers in the window" by travis. :nice: it is indeed one of my faves off the "invisible band" album. :nice: nice choice.

 

#14 that's a perfect song to end a mixtape with. :) this song would make a good soundtrack. such a happy and mellow song. sounds a tad like iron & wine although i know it's not iron & wine. :)

 

 

^It was me :D Sorry to hear you knew most of the songs :( My bad with the Owl City cover art, I couldn't figure out how to delete it :lol:

 

I'll post the tracklisting once I'm done listening to the mixtape I was just sent.

^ I wish I had yours. It sounds interesting.

I just got mine! Downloading! :D

:edit: damn josh confessed before I could guess it was him publicly.

^ I wish I had yours. It sounds interesting.

 

The idea is that once the review has gone up, the original poster comes out of the shadows with the track-listing and a link for people to download :)

I'll post it in a minute chill out peoplez :P

Enjoy :)

oh, i really didn't expect you to make this mixtape, josh! :nice:

 

good job, though! you really got me into owl city now. :smiley:

 

Glad to hear it!

Okay, wait. Sorry if this a stupid question but are we supposed to make the songs themselves anonymous too? Like so the person we're making the mix for doesn't know the artists or anything about the song?

I really want my mixtape now :p whoever has mine, hurry it up, will ya? :P

 

QFT! I've sent mine already and am waiting! It sucks.

^^ yeah!

 

 

I'm kinda hoping the person that gets mine will like it... it's not obscure or anythings... but I liked the tracks on there :shy:

Okay, wait. Sorry if this a stupid question but are we supposed to make the songs themselves anonymous too? Like so the person we're making the mix for doesn't know the artists or anything about the song?

 

Yes.:)

Track 1- Turn by Travis. GREAT song. Heard it before, but the choice of a great starter song got me really excited about the rest of the album.

 

Track 2- Interesting track, sort of Classic Rock-ish...maybe even Beach Boy-ish? I like the vocals, especially the backing vocals. :thumbsup: The song got better and better as it went on, and ended quite nicely.

 

Track 3- Nice atmospheres all the way through. Ace vocal harmonies. Every time the atmospheres went down, I thought it was about to just take off, but never really did. 3 for 3 so far.

 

Track 4- Grounds for Divorce by Elbow :dance: Everyone knows this song is amazing, no need for me to review it. All I have to say is that it's even better live.

 

Track 5- Sounds almost like Green Day, except less shitty. I think I've heard this artist before...:thinking: Very nice acoustic guitar and piano.

 

Track 6- Good piano, but the song as a whole never really exploded like I was wishing it would. Is this Arcade Fire?? With about 50 seconds left the vocals really reminded me of them.

 

Track 7- A little bit too punkish for me, but still a decent track.

 

Track 8- Isn't this from that Disney movie? EPIC haha. Refreshing change from the previous tracks.

 

Track 9- Jack Johnson? The guitar and vocal style sound a lot like him. Not bad.

 

Track 10- I recognize the style. Hmmm...sounds almost country-ish. Forgettable.

 

Track 11- 10 and 11 are definitely the two most forgettable tracks on this mixtape. It got better as it built up, though.

 

Track 12- Awesome lyrics and great piano. Nice track for a wedding :lol:

 

Track 13- Win. So many instruments all coming together for a big huge orgy of awesomeness. Ace lyrics, ace vocals. I DEMAND more of this artist. SAAAYYY THAT YOU'LL STAY.

 

Track 14- Reminds me of Travis. Really good song. About 3 minutes in the vocal harmonies are epic.

 

Track 15- The vocals remind me of Elbow :thinking: Great way to finish a mixtape.

 

You did well mystery person. Thoroughly enjoyed it. A+

waiting! :dance:

 

i'm getting overly excited with the reviews! :D
