magical track immense vocal
X-Cellent track my friend, I love it. Congrats for the charts guys.
Thanks for swinging by man.. I definitely appreciate the positive feedback especially from a Great producer like you.. This composition is outrageous!!!!all the instruments along with the voice blend perfectly no doubt this would be a #1 hit mainstream..
Incredible collaboration here; perfect production and a song that can't help but pull one in...and in..and in...ouch, I'm getting too graphic here. ;) Loved it!
I'm with you Valerie,,,,I had to come back for seconds. Your voice Xanthe is perfect for the mood and I love the tone in your voice. Boy girl you really delivered this one right on the money! Hans, what can I say other than,,,dam you're good! I'm really impressed with your skills...Jay,,,loved the guitar solo,,,excellent. I'm listening to the track now waving a my arms in the air,,,nice,,really nice.
Revisiting, because I like it.
by the way, I would buy that too. :-) I even would visit our neighbors. For buying the tune, and off course for the other "stuff" :-)
Surely you guys wont be "unsigned" for long!! very nice track. Arranged perfectly... vocals, guitar, nice pads and use of filters. Id buy this anyday!
No way...my apologies goes out to Drainage and Xanthe...I didnt even see this in the new mp3 thread until just..so i'm very sorry bout late reply to this track. The break when the piano plays along with the vocals..thats some serious music man..propar emotional - love it!. The strings add a feel to this track that I cannot describe..its the tone I think but they sound ultra rich and brilliant. I could see massive attack producing a track like this..and they are one of the best musical acts to ever grace our Earth. Im really stunned by the quality of this track. I think the track is perfectamundo..the tempo, production, performers, time structure, arrangment - EVERYTHING! Very impressed, peace.
what can i say that hasn,t been allready said .....great stuff :o) big clap :o) Howsie (lazy daze)
Clearly a masterpiece. No quibbles, nothing to criticise, or be 'constructive' about. Haunting, sublime and pressing every single emotional button simultaneously. In other words simply superb.
SUPER!!! Well dont all three of you, quality stuff!
beautifull,just beautifull,guys!!!! congratulations on your first place!!!! the best!!!!
Agree with all that has been said, and Xanthe's vocals are truely awesome. ONAGER
SPLENDID!!! The best. The guitar solo is great. The voice is great. Everything is great. The #1 was the least the this track can be...
Yay! No.1 (a bit if a foregone conclusion in my book) but thoroughly well deserved. This one will stay in the mind for a long time! Graham
X-Cellent work guys !! well done. Downloaded my friend :-)
Xanthe you have a remarkable quality in your voice, well done on an outstanding collaboration. peace Virginia
Wow. Xanthe's voice sounds quite sexy on this track. Excellent delivery. Top notch production as well. Couldn't get any better, honestly. 10/10
Really nice work! Very emotional & heartfelt piece. I'm just sorry that I waited so long to check it out! Keep up the solid work, bro.
Revisited, this is truly a lovely song. Downloaded it for Mr. iPod.
very nice indeed
Very cool song in many ways. Everything fit so well together. I give mad props to Drainage for the idea to begin with. Everyone has their due respect from me on this song, you talented people you!
Magic, very capturing and stunning high quality collab!!! I just love everything: Instrumentation -- such a cool slightly chillout-funk in them --, lovely guitar solo, its flawless production, Xanthes vocals and especially also her talent with lyrics, which I admire very much.
A great track guys.I think u may have found your tempo Xanthe! This is my kind of thing a bit of a Morcheeba kinda feel a great chilleout vibe this has got to be on my weekend chill cd. What else can i say the production is just right, lovely percussion.
This is excellent stuff, very chillout, very professional. What a collab!!!. Steve
Even better on the after-tweak !
This is what the internet is for... Bringing talent together from around the world. Amazing work from all involved. X my dear you shine once again. Lyrics are there! Vox is so yOU and you know i'm a fan. Mr D. your production talents are grandios. Jay you DO play the guitar!! Wonderful. Bravo to you all.
Is it just me or should this be a James Bond theme....The World Is Not Enough, Ebb And Flow, The Spy Who Loved Me, Huh ? Awsome....I wished you didn't fade on that guitar solo so fast though, I wanted to hear more....Great work.
I think its all been said .. simply stunning track ..production on this stands out a mile and Xanthes voice and Lyrics simply superb.
OMG!!!! WOW, WOW and friggin WOW!! SUPERB WORK GUYS!! and yes I'm going to shout. Stunning vocals and lyrics Xanthe, awesome work Jay! Hans!!! What can I say... Blinging production with a superb feel. Everything fits just right. Commercially sound and very professional. Well done guys, I can't say that enough. 11/10!
Now this is a really nice production guys and gals. I really enjoyed your voice Xantha..very nice indeed. I can't get over how great this sounds through my ear phones. As for commercial yes, I can hear this on the radio. The only comment I would make though in regards to commercial appeal and the big wigs is the intro being just a tad bit long. Other than that,,,excellent work. Congrats!!!
What a great, great piece of music. A fantastic collaboration. Works on so many levels. Xanthe - your voicee goes from strength to strength!! Nicci xxxx
Now, where did you pull this from? Xanthe sounds absolutely divine, the production on the whole thing is fantastic. I don't to tell you guys this is an amazing track. The guitar and other instrumentation play a very delicate backdrop. The chilled groove of this track is beautiful. Great work guys! Ooh, ooh, I have a CD player in my car now, fantastic! :-)
Well! All I can say is that I feel like I could just as easily have turned on my radio and heard this on a commercial music programme. Wonderful collab guys - it's almost impossible to eblieve you weren't all together at the same time recording this it works so well. Graham
This is a great track, folks! Lovely melody, great singing, and spotless production, and a lovely guitar solo to top it off. Top class job!

Drainage is Hans Mulders (netherlands). I've been making music since I was a little kid. Played drums in various bands and did a little studio work. I started making computer based music in a home studio set-up 12 years ago and I'm slowly going back to using real instruments and musicians (nothing beats the real thing !) I'm did some remixes and composing for several musicals/plays.
Hey everybody. I revamped my page and launched a new project on my personal website. Sort of an online album. I'm gonna do some artwork (CD-booklet) and make (for now ;) everything downloadable. Check out my website.
Heya Mp3usigned, Check out my new website (made with the software I won in the summer contest). All input welcome.
Posted the london Collab with 3rd OP on the London 7-7 page. Check out the track there !
Well what more to say, I got a review by Steve Gilmore on Disco 2000. Check it out !
Uploaded some new pics and did some things with the layout. Check it out. Looks real fresh I think... Hans.
I found some old tracks on an old harddisk (how sad is that for nostalgy -> he grandpa, what's on this harddisk from 2000). Give it a listen
Took some advice and made some changes in the song. Check out : 98.3 Summer FM
I think it's nice to have some pictures up and since I'm not much to look at myself, I've put up some pictures of my current studio set-up. Check it out.
“There is a tide in the affairs of men, which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures.” – William Shakespeare: Julius Caesar Funny things are tides.

well, actually you got to excuse me for my really bad english, and understand that my review is not a proffessionals view, but just a electronic newbie's thoughts about this music, well, so my point, first track Pleasure (Jazz) full of good rythm, backing noices, great drum's playing, some kinde of drum and bass mixed with funk and light jazz motives, beautiful rhodes, vocals are slightly "ma
I first came across MP3 Unsigned artist Drainage when I reviewed his Disco 2000 track (does just what it say on the tin) in July of this year. Been creating a bit of a fuss over at this site over the last year, and even though I gave Disco 2000 a Recommended rating, I had expected a bit more muscle for the attention this artist had been getting. Hans Mulder (aka Drainage) was also a pa
A previous MP3 Unsigned Artist Of The Week which - surprisingly enough for most music OMDs - actually means something, Drainage has become a bit of a taste of the month since arriving on that site. Hans Mulder (aka Drainage) is an electronica artist who I ahve reviewed only once before - or twice if you count the London 7/7 collab he did with the beautiful Mary Gottschalk and Greybow (who ma
For those who don't know me I am the singer-songwriter half of the duo Serenity here at Mp3unsigned.com. I must point out I am not a producer and don't pretend to be this is purely a listeners review. Following a request for a review by Mr. Drainage himself, I was quietly intrigued. Drainage has become a popular member on the message boards and has recently been named artist of the week. I'm sur
Welp, July's already shaping up nicely; the first reviews out of the hat have all been new names to me and that's never a bad thing. Drainage is one Hans Mulder (no relation of course to Fox) and he hails from The Netherlands. Whenever I see that country mentioned I always get a particular thrill. Surprisingly enough I have found some very, very competent and capable musicians
