Wow! I can really hear a heavy Beatles/Beach Boys influence in the instrumentals. reminds me somewhat of 'Wonderful'

I am extremely impressed with 'Last Sorry Message' - !!!!!!!! That sounds way too good. I love the influences! You've got the Beatles/BeachBoys/Elvis/Do-Wop/Spector all mixed into one awesome song! Great stuff!!!

Thank you very much for your gentle words rab, i am very glad that you find that stuff interesting.

Yes, youīre right, the influences you mentioned are the roots of my attempts to write music.  Since i am really fond on that music (beatles, beach boys etc) i decided to get on with it and try to do something. unfortunately all of my demos are recorded in a very lo-fi way (i hope to record prperly soon), a poor quality in sound ,nevertheless it has been utterly instructive to write, record, but mainly to share it.

Finally, congratulations to all the forum members who recently published their brand new Lpīs or Epīs, itīs very exciting to hear sucha creative efforts :)

I was going to ask, do you use analog tape to record with? I use digital and it has its drawbacks; you're recordings seriously sounded vintage 60s - I'll never be able to emulate that sound as long as I use digital. Either way, I am really impressed.

Actually i used my laptop and mixpad software,  so i think that the weird sound is due to the cheap equipment i use  :-\. You see, my tools are a semiprofessional shure microphone, a Squier Stratocaster Guitar and a Marshall amp that a friend kindly lent me. Of my property i use  an old yamaha PSR500 keyboard, my Yamaha bass guitar (wich is my main instrument by the way) and my laptop.

Though often i feel quite disatisfied for the quality of the sound, i must say that from a romantic perspective i like the homemade sound because as you say it sounds kind of vintage. Anyway, i would love to work on a professional studio, with "real" equipment and see what happen. I feel very flattered by your comments, thanks a lot for your interesting, i really appreciated :).
