I put a new song in my music website called “Do That Which is Right”; it is the song on top. This song has Arturia Memory V and Jup-8 V4 and some some non-Arturia synths. Male vocals: aardvark. Female vocals: Felicia. Please tell me how you like the music and how it can be improved, and I will return the favor. Leave me a link if you don’t have a recent thread. Here is my link:

Hi Aaron,
bearing in mind my poor knowledge of rock, independent and alternative, I like the slower funky tempo. The bass line supporting the funky tempo is simpler and more efficient IMO. Your voice is more controlled and more plain and simpler and I would say more efficient. I like the doubling in higher pitch. I would say the same of the lead solo. The voice doubling the lead near the end is a great idea.
Opening few bars remind me of Kraftwerk for some reason…
It’s got that ‘stoner, lo-fi’ vibe going on for sure, Sparks spring to mind when the female vox kick in.
Whole thing definitely reminds me of Sparks… kind of.
Hope that’s useful! 
By the way, you probably know that Catherine Ringer of the Rita Mitsuko duo worked with Sparks. What a great voice she had!
Il like Qu’est-ce que t’es belle (YouTube) with Marc Lavoine. It reminds me of Soft Cell’s Say Hello Wave Goodby.
francoise & matjones,
Thank you for listening to my song and commenting! I appreciate it! I like some Kraftwerk and Sparks songs, so I like the comparison. Except for “Cool Places” (with Jane Wiedlin of The Go-Go’s), I couldn’t think of any Sparks songs with female vocals. I had never heard that Sparks song with Rita Mitsuko before, that I can recall: I liked it.

Russell does to A LOT of falsetto vocals, along with the rest of the track combined, is what gives it that Sparks vibe i think.
Hope that makes a bit more sense.
matjones,
Thank you for replying. Yes, the Sparks singer can sing quite high in pitch.
