Broadjam Artist: Bill Dake
Song: The Fall
Reviewer: Dave Haddad (CenterPeace)
Positive Comments: Big sound right out of the box. What a groove!! Ok I’m ok with the effects on the drums. I totally love this energy and love in this song. It’s a great groove on the blues side all the way, down home with soul! Sweet bridge! Man, great changes there!! A very good song which I listened to several times. The lyrics got me from the first line… dang the whole first verse is cool. The band really jams, love the keyboards and bass and the singer well, he makes it all come together.
Constructive Comments: This is not a polished pro recording, I dig. It’s probably old too so I will try to consider that. I’m a drummer so it’s tough, there are places everywhere where the programmed drums get a little too funky lets say (timing off). Plus there are so many doubled notes…. anyone with experience in programming would cringe like I was. I am cool with the flanged out space drums, it actually was a good feature here. It was the doubled notes (on top of one another) which sound different and unpleasing to me. You’re probably the singer songwriter and not into production but it is just important in the presentation as the song it’self. Really the ONLY THING MISSING HERE IS LIVE DRUMS… Everyone else is jamming!! Also the low end could use a little cut in the subs 30 to 50Hz.
