This is episode 061 of MSI:, where independent artists submit music for expert review by our panel. This weeks guest panelist is Andrea Bensmiller, bassists, producer and journalist for the Live 2 Play Network. The following 3 songs were reviewed.

1. Angels and Assassins by Rolling Thunder
2. House of Cards by Tommyboy90210
3. I'll Be There by Drew Ross

 MSI Song of The Week is: "Angels and Assassins" by Rolling Thunder and his merry men!

 

This was a pleasant surprise to wake up to this AM. It was especially cool to see all three of these were from Kompoz - kudos to all!

The review of my tune, "Angels and Assassins" was very fair. This tune is part of the Replicon Project, a collection of tunes written to pay homage to Gary Numan's music. I chose the "I, Assassin" album as my inspiration, and so their comments on the retro keys and also the instrumentation were right on - even to them lamenting the lack of a guitar solo (there were none on that album - trust me, I wanted to play one! :)

It was a pleasure being in such good company as Drew and Tommy, and I put the win for my tune squarely at the feet of Mike, Ian and Kev - they made the tune what it was and elevated it. Thanks guys!

Hey congrats! Its awesome just to get reviewed, let alone have the SOTW! Way to go! Those reviews are fair and helpful My and Casia's "One and Only One" was reviewed in #50 I think it was. Not SOTW, but still, good comments!

So, congrats to all the Kompozers this week that were reviewed, and especially @RollingThunder! Major props to all!!!

haha. Awesome. Congrats to all.
I just realized that you are gluttons for punishment.

Cool stuff.

That's a fun show. I enjoyed the entire episode - drama, suspense, romance and comedy.

<-- glutton for punishment

Congrats Bill! I'm listenin right now man. Ian want's to know where the solo was. WHERE WAS IT BILL? I seem to remember a certain lead guitar player on here that would love to have helped ya out. Hint hint lol

I swear that Tommy guy should live in a van down by the river. Wow he's loopy haha.

Too funny! I played solos over it plenty of times. It just wasn't appropriate for the genre.

I made do a "directors cut" at some point.

spam...

i'd like a 1970 red Conv. Cuda, please.
no cup holders, but it's got a Hmmmmi.

Yeah weird. Like half spam.

Is it inappropriate to ask for an autograph - (not from the car sales of course ;P)

Good job Bill and crew.

Bill... Just catching up with this now (being a drummer, you'd expect me to be behind everyone else ;) ).

Cool reviews... "beard-boy" was a harsh though. The Bass and Vox really stand out for me on that track. Ace!

Yeah - Tommy wasn't exactly constructive, but that's ok - all feedback is worth evaluating. :)
