Hi Just a short mail to say absolutely love your track Adrift it captures the mind and takes you away, great stuff, Please come by and check out our latest track, CHRISTMAS IN HEAVEN Chat again, Kev n Rob ARKADE MUSIC
Yes. This does it for me. Not being at all disrespectful when I say as a radio presenter of 23 years I'm always looking for good tracks to talk over, such as reading out what's on's etc. I would use this because it's just right, melodic, likeable and would enhance any such radio feature. In fact I'd most likely shut up talking and just let it play. Love it.
Sorry my friend I can't drink and type but just know I love it! Eric
Craig This is a SWEET track!!! Just makes me feel so ...ing good. I love the way the vibe on this one big time. This may be my favorite from you and that's saying a lot! Man KICK ASS SONG Thumbs Eric
Loving this music of yours. -rl
Different from your other work but its cool uplifting instrumental.A slow guitar solo over the top would fit nicely. Enjoyed.
Nicely done! Like the uplifting feel. I doesn't quite feel like new age but does evoke some nice happy pop feelings. Gret job on this. Throw some vocals down on it and you'll see what I mean. It would polish up just right.
This one is a departure from your usual style - It has a satisfying lilt - which is relaxing and uplifting at the same time. You probably won't rework this - but if you ever come back to it - add a contrasting middle section and this will be even better.
Hey Pidgeman you should borrow that synth more often - this is a great uplifting track!
cool sounds, very atmostheric, feels good, nicely done man.
I never am failed to be amazed at the talent on this site. Terrific track. Rated. Looking forward to listening to more of your music. Thanks....
Nice track... parts reminded me of Rush (Power Windows era), holds together very well. Rated Rob (Shaarilla)
Nice celtic wanderings.
awsome sound, great arrangment and writting!
Nice instrumental, almost got a sort of prog/folk feel to it hasn't it? could imagine some bagpipes or fiddles blasting in there at some point ;-) an enjoyable listen that... nice!
I love the way this track fades in, very smoothly done, could do to be a little longer, but im the queen of making short tracks lol would be great as an intro to an album, great work :) x
nice groove. I think it would make a really good verse for the lyrics you may eventually put to it. the harmonics are way cool.
I enjoyed that! Not quite as much as the last I'd heard from you, but this is an interesting experiment with that wayward riff, you've certainly put it to good use! Well done!
Very enjoyable chilled piece of music!
Hi mate... The drums remind me of an 80s sound, its almost got a keane like sound, euro/pop style... The sounds are uplifting and well used. Melody is sweet and the little melody lines work well... Cool little track here bud
mmm good to hear something different from you. not bad this. But needs developing and shaping into a better arrangement etc etc. interesting though.
I was the idiot that found your message on the lyrics page...hey! I live in hope hahahaha. Lovely piece but way too short for my liking. I have read your reasons and sympathise but it's just way too good to give up...where there is a will there is a way surely? Get hold of MOG and ask him to do a mix with it...he is just INCREDIBLE!!!
Thanks guys. Paul, it occur to me on re-hearing this that it does sound a little bit like your stuff (though not as 'complete' and you would undoubtedly have put better beats in there) and i take it as a compliment that you felt the same. Allan, alas the i am no longer in touch with the synth providing friend and so i'm afraid that this track has gone as far as it's going to go. Shame. Craig
hey nice instrumental m8 :D
Loving this Craig..not unlike something I might have done (less the guitar)very nice flow and sort of an cool upbeat feel to it, nice one mate
Cool, sounds like the start of some prog rock piece by genesis/yes/peter gabriel. would benefit greatly from a vocal or some other element like a solo or something, but definitely can see all sorts of possibilities for this so borrow the synth again lol:)
(NO MORE) HAPPY ENDINGS. This is the second collab between Truj and myself, follow up to the MP3Unsigned Official Chart No1 'On The Road'. Once again Tommy wrote and performed all the music and I wrote the lyrics and performed the vocals. Tommy is also responsible for mixing and mastering. All comments and suggestions, good or bad, as always are greatly appreciated. Play this LOUD!!!
Please check out my latest track, Misery Loves Company. I'm really pleased with the way this one has turned out, definitely one of my best yet! Cheers Craig
Note: Same as always, going on the basis that a score of 10 is for a release level track with Bob Rock style production. First off, let me say that Craig is a damn fine guitarist - for a long time I only knew him as a song writer but the more of his stuff I've listened to the more I began to notice smatterings of really excellent guitar playing all over the place. I was excited to see tha
At this point in time, I have reviewed getting on for a dozen Pidgeman tracks and discovered that this rock based musician is generally worth listening to. Personally I still think he is capable of much, much more but his catalog of tracks on Mp3 Unsigned (and Soundclick) will show a very competent musician and songwriter, sometimes let down by the equipment he is working with. A
First track out of the MP3 Unsigned bag this month is the indefatigable (Ed: wooahh Gilmore!! Big words!) Pidgeman. Since I first met him while reviewing Misery Loves Company (September 2007 Pidgeman has been a regular visitor to my review schedule so at this stage of the game I probably have almost a dozen of his tracks reviewed. Although there is a fair smattering of Highly Recommend
Craig Matthews (aka Pidgeman) has been a regular on these pages for the last year or so and is actually quite a prodigious musician and out of the wodge of tracks I have reviewed has done well in terms of keeping my critical beast at bay. It helps considerably that most of the tracks this UK based musician writes are good, old fashioned rock tunes and I am amazingly biased that way. Th
Out of the seven or eight reviews I have done of Craig Matthews (aka Pidgeman) one thing becomes instantly clear, I like this musicians style even if I haven't found a track to rave about yet. That is obviously just a question of time of course, and the right combination of circumstances, but I feel fairly confident at this stage that this is an artist who definitely has a Must Have track lu
I was, am and always will be a big fan of rock music, from the Beatles and beyond rock has always been a constant in my own life. Which, as it happens, is pretty good news for artists like MP3 Unigned's Pidgeman considering that rock seems to be his meat and potatoes too. Consequently we haven't had a lot ofg trouble seeing musical eye to eye and some of his tracks have indeed been standout, par
Babylon is Doomed? Fucking A, as someone once said. Don't know about you mon, but whenever me hear dat Babylon t'ing I think of reggae. Not something I would automatically expect from Pidgeman, an alternative rock musician from MP3 Unsigned I have reviewed a half a dozen times, without too much upset. Fact is, I do like a good singer/songwriter, especially when their chosen
This is an incredibly well structured song. I enjoyed listening to this track a lot and I'm really looking forward to the remake that has been mentioned. First off, the production is as close to perfection as you can get in a home recording environment. The acoustic guitar sound is exceptional. Nice and crisp, clear as a bell but with enough low mid and bottom end to keep it warm soun
First track out of MP3 Unsigned this month is from yer old rock buddy Pidgeman. Regular readers will know the man and his works of course but if ya don't here's a thumbnail sketch. He's a home produced rock musician from Coventry here in the UK and considering that he is a home producer comes up with some very decent tracks indeed. Out of the last five tracks I reviewed, three go
Craig Matthews (aka Pidgeman) is an MP3 Unsigned artist you will be familiar with if you are a regular reader, and lets face it if you are not then I am talking to myself and that doesn't even bear thinking about. Having come from a lifetime of real world music, I have found I have developed a specific ear for what is right according to that world. It's why, I think, I am sometimes ove
MP3 Unsigned's Pidgeman had a bit of a rough time from me when I reviewed Wasting Time (March 2008) a track that I felt needed a lot of improvement - a fairly common thread of my reviews of this particular artist. Which is odd because Pidgeman plays rock of various tones, and he plays it well too. Where the wheels start falling off the wagon is when you add into it arrangement, pitch a
My final review for this batch goes to Pidgeman, who I've reviewed before when he collabed with electronica artist Destri! This track, however, is one he done all by himself! This starts off with a drumbeat first, then the rest of the instrumentation comes in! The sound is very 80's, which is either a good thing or a bad thing, depending on where you stand on the matter! Personally, I like the so
Third time around for MP3 Unsigned's Pidgeman, a singer/songwriter from the UK. The first track I reviewed - Misery Loves Company (November 2007) - showed that Pidgeman knows what he's doing in terms of performance and songwriting style and Can't Stop Thinking About You (January 2008) only confirmed that impression. Where things fell down in both tracks was in the final presentation, a
Well coming up here is my 3rd review out of the people who first came into my offering post for a review. I have to say I’m very pleased with the results so far. We have Pidgman’s latest; Babylon Is Doomed?. So without further due to you all… Lets begin! The first thing that gets thrown out at me is the snare. Very powerful and full. I like it a lot. The kick has a nice pumpin
Next up we have a new track from Craig (Pigeman) called Babylon Is Doomed? which I am told he recorded from beginning to end in one evening, which only goes to show when the muse hits, go with the flow and good things can happen.
Craig Matthews aka Pidgeman is an MP3 Unsigned rock musician who I first encountered when I reviewed Misery Loves Company (November 2007). Nice track, as it happened, especially since I like the kind of rock Pidgeman specialises in. Like a great many of us, he has to deal with certain limitations about getting it all down digitally and - on both tracks I've heard - that home produced f
Next up is a track that has been doing very well on the site, 'Misery Loves Company' which Craig (Pidgeman) released a while ago. Commented on the track when it came out and stand by all my original views but will attempt a more in depth overview of the track. Track is very much in Craig's comfort zone, a guitar led power pop/rock track, a genre that has always been popular in the charts (espe
good song and good sound, yout voice is like the voice of rush.keep on rocking.
Pidgeman is a new name to me, this time from MP3 Unsigned and has the singular honour to finally rescue me from the almost constant electronica/trance diet I have had from that site since I started picking up reviews from there again. Moreover, Pidgeman promises to deliver some of my favourite; rock, and for that the man is like an oasis in the desert. Aaah burt, you sigh, rock can cov
Collabs... the MP3Unsigned speciality! There's lots of them about on MP3Unsigned, from one-offs to collab bands such as Stella Polaris Project and Hare Of The Dog! This collab involves Electronica producer Destri and Singer/Songwriter Pidgeman! I've heard the backing music by Destri before as an instrumental, and the combination of electro and hiphop sounds great to me! In this version, the middl
I really like this track by Craig, I remember commenting and rating it before, and rightly so. For a slow instrumental it has some serious emotive phrasings. Craig's understadgin of music and ear for melody shines through on this piece. An unforgettable hook is what makes this track different from most other instrumetnals out there. Craig weaves melody and structure around the central theme from s
Heavier than most of Pidgeman's other tracks this one caught my interest becuase of the distorted guitars and crip powerchords. Th eproduction throughout is very clear and the instruments sit nicely with good separation between rhythm guitar and bass. Drums sounded good to me despite some comments regarding cymbal levels. Last comment on the mix and the only part that needs minor ad
This evening I'll be reviewing a recent newcomer to mp3u, Pidgeman (Craig Matthews) welcome aboard. He describes his music as a cross between Rock and Pop. In my opinion, this track is all rock. He hails from Cheltenham in the U.K. and can rock with the best of them.
Good review to start off, a track I have already listened to and enjoyed a great deal, from an artist with a ever growing collection of very solid, well crafted proper songs. First thing I checked out when reviewing the song were the lyrics, they are a really quite strong for a song of this type, which at it's heart, is a song about despair. Rather than wallow in the misery though, the song offers
I really like this song so it's hard for me not to rate it on the high end.The lyrics are well done. It's important to me that they tell a story or make a point.There are two things I really like about this tune. one is the how it jumps into the third section after the second chorus and two, the key modulation at the end. In both cases the vocal is spot on. not an easy thing to do. it's hard to de
