Loved the listen...:-) Peace n love mags xx :-)

Thank you very much for this one. Your music has been helpful to my overall mood. Very nice!!!! THERE IS MAGIC IN THIS! IT HEALS! Congrats! You have went PASY music with this.

You got a load of 31 reviews for this track, it must be a good choice. Your passion to make music is always so persistance and confident. That's one thing I admire, I tends to give up and come back once a while. Thanks for sharing. With million of love from Singapore. Piperon

Very unique style and delivery....I personally like the darker side of people and their music...cool synth lines and vocals..

Don't think I can elaborate any further on whats already been stated about this track. Great number, imaginative vocals over a very solid backing.

Shut Down...Very 'Lectronic and fresh...luv the heavy bounce beatZ and the Deep Vocal presense U R using Nga...Wild ambiance of synth tones and colorations arround the bridge melody proggression...very Moody and depictoral...luv the whispers flavoured N the verses...awesome synth tweaky outro...ThanX 4 the listen and it's great 2 here U again...~Austn

Wow! I love this. It's an uncommon mix of melancholy and electronica. This has a refreshingly distinctive sound, and your voice is amazing. Very nice!! I'll definitely be checking out more of your music.

INGE... this track is so right for you... perfect vocal delivery for the music... mysterious and serious!!! Very nice change at 2:45. Your unique artistic approach is so well highlighted in this piece. Love the ending... its very cool... sounds great. Bravo!!!

Great dark and mysterious vibe happening, the bass synth has a serious hook, its now looping in my head. A cool ambient pad is the perfect carpet and adds that atmospheric touch. Yep, I'm diggin the way this percolates along through the chord progressions. The vocal adds a unique topper and the backing vox just feels right. ..enjoyed to the fullest extent of the law..

love the beat--the guitar rythmn is excellent--perfect for the song--excellent vocal performance---has a cool darkness about it--captivating!!!!!really enjoyed this song and its whole vibe!! mark

Good song and mix....very progressive....

How kool is this? very!! love your sound! and perception! avangarde! A very unique delivery. Very well done! Enjoyed this track!

i've stopped here to listen again Inge, purely because i like this composition of your alot. Very cool innovations. I love the synths you use.

Gee! Certainly a Dietrich feel. I like the "serious" feel of the minor chording and daring chord jumps. Very innovative ! Do you do your own mixing, Inge? Voice and background are perfectly balanced! Emilio

Most excellent sing! Brilliantly crafted and performed. Combining a modern electronica accompaniment with chanson style vocal meody is pretty unique and exceptionally well-conceived. The string section at around 2:40 is marvelous! Fabulous work!

This is such a cool song. Another great IMS tune find.

Fabulous...........soundscapes,structure and production. Deep and dark ,but somehow a sense of warmth comes thru......with an extremely enjoyable listen........EXCELLENT !! Larry T..........

Inge :) Another very thought provoking track... Takes the mind far away... Strong soundscape,and as always,hypnotic vocals. Although the song is dark,it is not overly so... Emotional and direct to the listener. A most enjoyable lsiten. Nigel.

I like your fine production on this track i felt like coming back under another name to ditto what i said. Really definitive unique and right on target artistry.

I really love this. Inge,,,, you've really got the stuff here !!!!! your vocal work here is wonderful, your singing has a great sound!!! and uniqueness. Instrumentation is top top grade. i will have dwnld this. my admiration; shane

Yes Dicarlo hats beschrieben wie ich es schon immer sagte"Marlene Dietrich goes Electronic" Ich kann den Song 1000 mal hören und er bleibt immer obercool.Ist halt nen S_M Song wie er leibt und lebt..LG..Marijan

Hi Inge....greatings from a fan. I marvel at how much your voice reminds me of Blondie, although I prefer your vox much better. It's so interesting and clear. It feels like you should sing on the opening of some James Bond movie. Very intriguing and sexy, although I'm sure that was not the intent for this song! The break at about 2:40 is a very nice departure. Great work my friend! Peace ~Blake

Hi Inge, an interesting song... Your voice sounds unusual but particular and with a unique style. Nice Electronica background, it sounds a bit "old fashioned" (reminds me of Kraftwerk sometimes... and this want to be a positive thing). Enjoyed, Inge. Cheers and thanks for your kind review. Corrado :)

Inge.......This is most excellent. Very intense...........very sincere........EXCELLENT arrangement and production. GREAT SONG!! Rob

Have I heard this one over at Britband ? Never mind Inga...this does have a distinct edge to it. The vocal is very Marlene as Dic points out and boy does it work a treat in this context.Theres an almost tango feel to some of the synth playing ...or maybe its the groove.... Shutdown..... But not anytime soon I hope. The synth solo ....well concieved. Yeah I like this one. Sly

MARLENE DIETRICH GOES ELECTRONIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) THIS IS A VERY INTERESTING TRACK, BECAUSE IT INCORPORATES A BIT OF THE OLD DIETRICH STYLE OF VOCAL AND MUSIC WITH A MORE MODERN ELECTRONIC SOUND. COOL IDEA. :)

Good to see that you're not SHUT DOWN, Inge! We wandering souls seem to find each other at different ports at different times, but the music keeps us together always. Your work has gone form very good to excellent in the time I've known you, and "Shut Down" is a perfect example. The accompaniment is rich and perfectly constructed, your vocals are clear, clean, and confident, and everything is well produced. Welcome!

Wonderful dark voice in a great arranged song. The melody line goes in my ears. I love it.- Sven

I love the singing style and also the songwriting sobriety, the lyricism and surely also the matter of each song of this talented artist. 5 stars out of 5 coming your way from Italy!

WOW !! Whoo WOW !!! This is most excellent !!! Great vocals performance ... Listening to your song i have right now shivers down the spine so your vocals delivering is captivating me ! Most excellent musical accompanying as well... This slightly dark song is really superb and has to my ears an obvious commercial appeal... In my radio pronto ! Bravo ! Your are really a very talented Artist and possess your own style ! Greetz, Alexis

Hello Inge! I have listen your music in other sites.Great to see your here! Impressive music...your vocals sit perfectly in this song...dark intesity. Strong atmosphere! I like this song! Gary

Great sound, dark lyrics (yeah we've been there) conveyed with the emotional voice. love that chord change arouind the 2:40 mark. Yeah this is very well performed and produced.

I really enjoyed this song! You did a fantastic job on it and I love the style. All I was missing was a pint :)

We've all been there - Neat that you can express yourself with only the computer and a mic. Glad to have you on the board! fp

Once again, another polished performance over a well crafted backing. Excellent track well done

i am always very impressed with your work. this song is very haunting with the percussion and the way you have presented the vocals. the background music is beautiful.

From start to finish, everything about this track ouses quality. Your outstanding vocals Enge are the icing on the cake. I love the whole atmosphere of the song. Carol.

oh thats a catchy riff to work off of--the singer jumps all over it--drums-percussion sounds sweet!!has a slight british sound about it--maybe a touch of beatles influence--gotta love it--its quite unique--very nice to my ears--lyrics--very well done---mark

Excellent Inge! Your voice and sensitive arrangement makes for a very intelligent, enjoyable listen. You have a very creative, infectious style!

Again ...another song with a very unique sound qualities..really liked the arrangement here.Just love the percussion you used here....nice! Inge...I was reading your bio and for a person whom has been playing for ten years...It's very unusual for such diversity you deliver.. very very impressive! Enjoyed very much!

Beautiful song,very catchy indeed! I felt right from the intro I would enjoy this one. Very nice percussion arangement. As is the synth,subtle yet atmospheric. Vocals,as always,so right for the piece. VERY much enjoyed Inge. Nigel.

Great combination of a latin percussive feel with a mysterious, pausated singing, and great transparencies... Minor tonalities seem to be your prefference. So it can be joyfull but at the same myesterious and lamenting. Your eally are innovative, Inge!

Vocal phasing and percussive expression is very creative around this truthfully delivered and sometimes haunting track. That horn part that came in around 2:56 was very nice. Deep artistic feeling dominates this track!

I have to say that your unique, and different. In your own class and category. Whoever said it's all been done before needs to give you a listen. Neat song and sound.

Wow, what a cool sound.m Seriously great mix and a seruiosly good song. Really nice job. Loved the spoken word section of the song. Nice touch. Instrumentation is top notch. Peace, Doc

An introspective song with great voice and lyrics. Love that voice!! Very lush production too. Excellent Inge. Your style is both personal and addictive. ~Blake

very cool groove. mix is pristine and the mood is nice and takes you places...great track.

This one of my fast songs from Serious, great beat and wonderful lyrics. The vocals ...hmmm i love it. Thanks Inge for your fantastic Music. - Sven -

You know well that i really love your voice full of mystery and the way you sing...This song is excellently performed with a perfect articulation . I like the theatrical side of the delivering of the vocals in this one. GREAT listen for a great song !

Wow, what a cool song with a haunting tune. The middle part (the bridge ?) is particularly impressive. Vocal is nicely done.

What a nicely performed song, I really like the music and the voice has a haunting feel. Very well arranged and produced.

So Long My Friend.... another excellent song. It's great to find your music here. This is a wonderfully arranged and produced piece of music. This one moves beautifully from passage to passage. Peace, Jim

Guten tag Inge Mein deutch ist nicht gut, aber jetzt Ich kanne viel vestehen. If you understand that then it's not as bad as I thought lol One word describes the track MAGIC

GREAT rock song! I really like the guitar tone, and the song dynamics. Very nice guitar solo. Strong production. I dig the vocals too (but I can't really comment on the lyrics!). Good one! M.G.

Inge...excellent song. I love the heavy guitar sounds...very well played. Your voice has never sounded better...very clear, inviting, and perfectly pitched. The combination of narration and singing also gives the song more contrast. Wonderful composition and great performance my friend!!! ~Blake

Another very very good song Inge... This one is radio ready. Everything about it begs to be played on Euro-radio. Huge hook and sound to the song. Played on mainstream this could well be a hit. Greatly enjoyed :) Nigel.

Cool musical idea INGE... the vocals are very strong and the music a powerful compliment... I like the narrative sections because they contrast the power driving parts. The part from 3:33 is very creative and sounds really great. Henry

Difficult to add comments to something this good! Agree with all (except the words cause I don't understand a pinch of German! Wow! A lot of powe in the rockers section. Are this live muscicians ? Please tell us !

Video-Games gehört ganz klar zu meinen Favoriten, was Idee und Text angeht. Rock-solid provided by Marian, eindringliche Vocals, und passende Abwechslung im Arrangement.

Inge...ah hät ich nur dein Talent. was für ein text. Eine klare linie mit tollen rock Elementen. besonders die harte Gitarre gefällt mir sehr gut. Ein weiteres meisterwerk von Dir. - Sven -

This is really cool, sung in German I presume. I'm really diggin this as it turns into a hard rockin song. Such a big and clear mix, lots of power in this music. I like how it starts and ends.

Another GREAT song from you.........I really liked the transition.....and as always...I love your vocals....and the male vocals were equally great. EXCELLENT production..... Rob

Piperunner? This must be a cool stuff, the bongo drum in the startup is rather anticipating. I like this slow and steady swing with the bongo accomplishment, smoothing evey edge as it goes. For the start of a day, this music ease my tension for my very very busy IT work. Thanks for sharing. With million of love from Singapore. Piperon

If ever the title was an apt description for a piece, this has to be the best example I've come across. This piece almost takes you on a conveyor belt journey through the workings of some kind of giant machine. Excellent bit of work well done

Inge... you have so many different styled tracks... this one is clean sounding and generates cool thought vibrations. I get sort of a middle eastern feel from parts of it! Nice instumental! Love those bass lines and neat percussion!

Very different style for you Inge... This has an oriental feel,hypnotic,as though written for some exotic dance in a temple far away... Excellent production. The atmosphere is ALL,and you did a wonderful job Inge. Very visual piece,and greatly enjoyed. Nigel.

Inge This song is full of splendid colours and has a real sense of depth to it. Nice sounds dance and cascade in and out whilst all the time the drums and percusion just "be". The little arpegios like patterns are the stars of this one for me. Until the pizzicato comes into focus stealing the limelight. It has a constantlu unfolding feel to it which is a good thing. Sly

oouu.wow. really liked this smorgasborg of sound...fills the room here with atmosphere of a place from afar... Your intentions are spot on with this fine delivery. Great work Inge! wow.

I do share the impression taken from this piece. Interestlingly, some times musicians can get inspiration from same muse. I have a song named Planet India which I have not uploaded yet, but it seems to be part of the same scenery Inge painted hre so well, so I am going to convert and upload Planet India so you folks and Inge too grab the notion that we share the same visions, many times !!! of curse Inge's version of this oriental feel is much better than mine but I did it under the same astral travel Inge had!

I love this too. You have assembled an incredible sound picture here. Truly. I will speak only what a truly feel, and i feel this music is quite admirable. It is only the rush of time that has made me miss alot of times to communicate with Serious music. i want to listen again to this track- i like it tons shane

agreed with the others on the intro. very well done since it captures the listener. mix is stellar. very clean. this is a great track. I could kind of hear it in a modern day ballet or some kind of dance piece.

I love the big open sound here and the choice of sounds, very unique mixtures that all work together extremely well. A very interesting piece Inge and well done!!! ~Blake

Ein wundervoller Klangteppich der einen verzaubert. Ich mag die Synthlines und die tiefen Orgel klänge. Ein leichter dark Einfluß lässt sich nicht verleugnen. Die zum Teil Synphonischen Teile gefallen mir besonders gut. Mehr , mehr kann ich da nur sagen. Enfach Klasse. - Sven-

very nice intro on the keys and synth, real clear production. the instruments are very well performed on. A pleasure to listen to.

Ah yes,I remember this one Inge :) Beautiful song. Not much worse can happen to one than to lose your home. Very nice slow build,star is the vocals for sure. Yep,excellent song Inge. Nigel.

A song one of us can relate to...Coming from a broken home and determined not to let it happen in his own life...but it happened anyway...people give up so fast these days...no time to talk it over because of life's demands...Nice work with the strings and lyrics...

Feelings of ergency and depth of the soul take over in this well paced ballad that builds in vocaL strength while the artistry paints on a canvas of intensty. I can see you leave a bit of yourself in all your work INGE!

Very interesting song Inge, and I also liked watching the video a couple of nights ago. Good one, Carol

It's important that this song stays in our minds - and in the minds of those who run all of these OMDs. Community is vital to us, and no community should be taken down without careful thought. Mix may still return, but I don't know if it can return to what it once was. This site just might take us where we need to go. Enjoying your work, as always.

Hallo Inge, haben wir ein neues gefunde ?:-) ein wundervooler song der sehr viel Emotionen zeigt. Ich mag diesen Song sehr gerne und er erinnert mich an alte Zeiten. Ein tolles musikalisches werk. -sven-

This is indeed serious music. Good melody and arrangement. I particularly like the mellow introduction.

Inge, I really like this song...........I remember it from BB, but it has more meaning to me now, as I understand what you felt about Mix. I believe THIS is to be a new home and I'm very excited about "imusic" GREAT SONG, INGE!!! Rob
