| The first of a couple of Yellow Jumps Twice songs I re-recorded in a "different" way. These versions are the pure versions. I want to present the songs how they sounded before they were "band-songs". It's just an acoustic guitar and me. Recorded live on 2 tracks. |

| Last song on "True Companions". Listen to the strange woodwind-sounds in the back of the song. It`s still one of my favourite tunes and it`s in 5/4.
MakeAstar Industry Review of "Round And Round"
MUSIC:
It is a long time since I have heard anyone attempt a rock-pop tune in 5/4 time, let alone succeed at create one as gorgeously hypnotic, dreamy and haunting as this one, very impressive! 9
LYRICS:
The words invoke images, provoke thoughts and flow perfectly with the groove and sound of the music while remaining slightly vague or perhaps deliberately ambiguous. I can not find a single fault in this set of lyrics. 8
ARRANGEMENT & PRODUCTION:
As a producer I tend to be hypercritical in this department however in this case I can honestly say I would not change a thing. 9 LEAD VOCAL:
A rich warm sound and an alluring emotive performance make this one of the best understated vocal performances of any track I have reviewed on Makeastar.com to date. It would be unfair not to mention the harmonies as well in this case, they are a perfect compliment to the lead vocal. 7
MUSICIANSHIP:
Every performance is perfectly In the pocket and every harmonic/melodic choice enhances the mood of the track and ads colour and dimension without disregard for the other parts, kudos to all concerned. 10 ORGINALITY:
The mood puts me in familiar territory and is reminiscent of a couple of tunes that are timeless for me but that takes nothing away from the originality of this piece, a rare feat, once again well done. 8
MARKETABILITY:
I honestly believe this track is highly marketable even though it may be difficult to convince the powers that be to take a chance on a tune that breaks many conventions. One way could be to approach music supervisors or directors of independent films as I am sure the song would be a perfect compliment to an appropriate scene. 7
GENERAL COMMENTS:
I am probably stating the obvious by saying that I really enjoyed this track but as a reviewer I often hear things of quality and rate them accordingly even if they are not to my personal taste. In this case I have no hesitation saying that I will come back to this song for my own listening pleasure in future and I am very curious about the rest of your material. Average Score 8.286

| It's from the same session as "Friend Of Mine". I like the mixture of a laid back playing rhythm section, the rude and offhand vocals and the breathing atmosphere of the song. It's nothing special - it's just a little, nice tune. |

| This song was written in 1990. Very cynical lyrics, driven by a heavy beat. You can call it a funereal song. Listen to some small things like reverse solo and dictating machine-noises.
Industry Review of REVENGE IS COMIN' CLOSER
Category IRB Review Score
MUSIC:
Great track! You have a lot of musical elements mixed in here, but everything fits tightly within the concept of the song. Your languid melancholy vocal melody and the pace of the track add up to a dreamy heavy place. Just enough brightness in the music to keep you from putting the gun in your mouth and pulling the trigger. 9
LYRICS:
Feeling a little down lately? Fortunately, you keep your sense of humor about it. That's the biggest issue in the lyric; are you being cute or going for broke? You invoke both possibilities and that alone is an achievement. The question is: are you sacrificing catharsis for attention? John Lennon vs. Morrissey. Either way, you've got something going, but what do you want? 8
ARRANGEMENT &
PRODUCTION:
Absolutely one of the best tracks I've heard on MakeaStar. No false steps anywhere in the track and your mix is perfection, except for the vocal after the solo seem slightly low in the mix. All the sounds are great and the parts all add up the greatest expression of the intent of the song. 10
LEAD VOCAL:
Your voice is the instrument of the god of melancholy here and I can't find any fault with it as a vehicle for expression. To my ears, you deliver your intention perfectly. Still, in the performance I hear the battle I mentioned in the lyric comments raging. What would Robyn Hitchcock say? 9
MUSICIANSHIP:
Primo. Again, every part and sample is placed perfectly to add up to Synody, the state in song where the words and the music add up to a sum greater than the parts. Your fills and solos are lyrical and the rhythm track is killer. No chops display, but why would you? 9
ORIGINALITY:
You''ve synthesized an original take on the blues from your influences that really builds on their work. I hear echoes everywhere, but in no instance is it distracting. Can''t say enough good about it really, but I don''t want to just repeat myself. 9
MARKETABILITY:
The toughest issue here. Your treatment of the subject matter is thorough. There is the bleakness and the humor in equal measure. The problem is that like Ray Davies and Robyn Hitchcock, your cleverness distracts from your commercial potential. You know what buttons to push to get the heart or the mind going, but how to do both at once is the issue. 6
GENERAL COMMENTS:
An absolutely fantastic track. And a very thought provoking song, especially in the sense that you have two possibilities artistically at your fingertips. Which will prevail?
