I’ve now listened to the tracks.
Firstly, well done you! Even though (I suspect) AI has done most of the work in ‘polishing’ the songs, it’s your creativity that has made them. I’m sure you have put a lot of work in.
Secondly, I love the variety. The humour and deeply emotional content of the lyrics is very well thought out. The one about Compo rations made me laugh particularly.
Reviewer’s remarks: Many thanks for your feedback, Ben. Even though the songs were created with AI, there was still plenty of work to do – tidying up lyrics it mangled, replacing lines that didn’t quite hit the mark, and then remixing everything … only to discover that the AI had decided to pronounce certain words as if it had never met the English language before. So back I went, correcting, adjusting, re‑mixing, and repeating the whole circus until it finally sounded the way I intended. It was wonderfully time‑consuming and, I must admit, hugely enjoyable. How you – and other professional musicians – manage to do all of this “long hand”, with real instruments, real voices, and real talent, is utterly beyond me. My admiration is sincere … and slightly awestruck.

04 October 2026 Philip O’Malley I gave every song a number out of 10. The highest score was an 8 and I gave that to 4 of them. The contrast was marked and hard to compare a Cha cha to a lament. I enjoyed them all. Here’s my results:
1) 5
2) 6
3) 7
4) 7
5) 6
6) 8
7) 7
8) 6
9) 7
10) 7
11) 7
12) 8
13) 7
14) 5
15)8
16) 8
17) 6
I’m not sure this is what you wanted. There were no bad songs, just some that I preferred. Hope this helps.
Reviewer’s note: Thanks Philip. That is most helpful. Many thanks for your feedback.
28 September 2026 Stumpy I think Cha Cha Cha for the Kent Grenadiers is the favourite for me.

25 September 2026 Gary Just been listening to the songs. Absolutely splendid, many thanks
24 September 2026 John Taylor Absolutely loved all the songs. You should consider recording them.
Reviewer’s note: Thanks John. As I created them using free AI music tools, I am unable to offer them for download or sale – else I could be in breach of their T&Cs. That is a reason why they are provided as they are for all to freely enjoy as much as I do.
24 September 2026  Susan Goodson Absolutely loved them all, they’re brilliant, especially the dance tracks, that we can dance to. If you keep creating music this good, I’m going to need a much longer to-do list, because all my spare time will be spent listening and dancing!
24 September 2026   Kevin Goodwin Very good, but personally I preferred the slow more reflective ones.
24 September 2026 Chris Stobart Just received the link for the songs, must admit I went straight to the Sand Hill, who wouldn’t ?? Absolutely fantastic, sat in my car listening to it and don’t mind saying that it made me smile but also put a tear in my eye . The best times of my life and all spent with the best friends anyone could have. Blue Red Blue ????‍ through and through
