Wow, I am really impressed! CCmixter works! :) The chorus is great. The verse is also nice, but sometimes I thought there might be too many words. But I am not quite sure about this.
Would you upload your single tracks (without FX), please? I would like to put them into the original mix and play around a bit. Besides, I could use some of those dirty little helpers to correct some timing or intonation flaws. |

Hello Willem! I’ve uploaded the vocal parts over here, under a CC-BY license. I agree with you about the “too many words” part. Overall it made the vocals sound too busy and muffled. Plus, my enunciation isn’t that great (I’d like to blame my recording equipment but who am I kidding? lol) You’d be doing me a BIG favour by helping correct any of the vocal flaws. I hope it doesn’t frustrate you too much. Actually, I was kinda hoping some other better vocalist would come along and sing the lyrics.

BTW, I popped over to your MySpace page. http://www.myspace.com/will...
My favourite track is the one titled “Willem Sucht Den Superstar”. Really catchy melody. Any chance that you’ll share the stems for that one here? I’m more confident of my guitar playing than my vocals :) |

The song is now online: http://ccmixter.org/files/W... .
I am quite happy about all these positive comments here. Makes me want to upload some other stuff … Currently, I have not got the time to remix your vocals, but I am already looking forward to doing it. |

Maybe I don’t know what I am talking about, but to these ears your voice sounds pretty good. And a great song too.

Hi Ivan, this is great. Its got a great sixties / slightly psychedelic vibe . If this is why you were feeling so tired the other day it was well worth it!

This is fantastic. I listened to it earlier today and liked it straight away.
You’ve come up with a hell of a track here - The vocal work is excellent - really glad you finally decided to share a vocal recording. Yeah - this is a great track. Nice job. |

Haha, actually I’ve shared my vocals before in ccMixter :) I still get squeamish when listening to myself, though with this one I seem to have struck a right chord. Am surprised at the number of Recommends.
Anyway thanks for liking the song. I’m not just being humble when I say it was WillemWillem’s track that brought the vocals out. Kudos to him. |

Agree with Colab. Great vocal recording and great harmony singing, sort of like psychedelic, British pop music à la XTC.
Very good! ![]() |

Nice vox Ivan, it sounds kinda Beatles-ish if that makes any sense!

Good voice and good melody. goes hand in hand with the feeling of the music. The harmonies are cool.
You should sing more and if you dont have mics take care of the clipping and use what you have and upload the different takes. |
