Anyone who wants to listen to these and has trouble doing so, turn off the popup blocker.
Just listening to Tubular Bells, quite like it. You have a rather different sound going, sounds edgy and kinda funky really. Nice job and well played. Sounds a bit odd and out of time during the last guitar bit you do but otherwise fine to my ears.
Source of Secrets sounds rather accurate for the most part in terms of the instruments used and the parts played. You really need to work on the timing here though. Nice use of the classical guitar sound to replace the female vocals, it works better than one might think. Lead guitar is a little too "busy" perhaps, keep it a little simpler and it'd be more effective.
Far Above The Clouds sounds too synthy and seems to be the weakest of the three, but having said that it's good that you've done something a little different with it. Did you sample the girl from the original track? Annoyingly I only managed to listen to the first minute and a half before my Internet connection decided it wasn't having anymore of it, shame because I'd like to hear your interpretation of the solo at the end. I might try again sometime.
Overall this is pretty impressive, things you need to work on are timing and maybe don't go too crazy with the electric guitar. Also see if you can put together some more complex drum beats. Good work though, I like it.
What instruments and software/hardware do you use to do your covers?
