Some instrumental tunes

What are your influences? I don't know if it's just me but I'm getting a very vintage sound from your bass haha.

I really like when the second guitar line in Songasaurus comes in. Very interesting mix of tones in that song.

Green's got a really great mellow sound in the beginning that definitely gives me a sense of wonder like you would get in a field or a forest or some such place. Nice work! It sounds good!
:bassist:
 
Nice playing and sound, though I think the songs would be better served with lyrics. The structure seems to suggest a melody, but as it stands the melody isn't strong enough to stand on its own for over 4 minutes.

The best advice I can give for writing is edit, edit, edit.

There's an old saying in the theater -- get it perfect, then cut 10 minutes. That can be applied to music as well.
 
Thanks for the comments guys.

Iri5h-My influences are too numerous to list but I definitely have a strong appreciation for 60's and 70's bands.

Baron- Yea, that's all me. Well, except for the drums which i programmed in ez-drummer.

plagent- yea, i agree that it needs lyrics. These songs were never intended to be instrumental. I just can't sing! :D I'll also take your advice on the editing. The second song sits on that 2 chord progression for a few too many rotations.
