Broadjam Artist: Tommy Stewart
Song: Ghost in the City

Reviewer: Ober Rivers And His DUI’S

Positive Comments: Blues excursion into psychedelic land similar to Pink Floyd and maybe Alan Parsons. Nicely packaged. Covers a clear mood scape. Definite soundtrack potential

Constructive Comments: Overall sound is good, melody is generally good, sax is mixed to low and a few chord changes are indistinct and/or superfluous. Mix overall seems a little unglued. Playing is solid enough, could probably make it on weather channel as is if that is the kind of thing you are shooting for. You are in.

Broadjam Artist: Patrick E. Muth
Song: SUNQUEEN

Reviewer: Junior Murrell

Positive Comments: love the Wah guitar and the organ tone. got a down south sound about it. Reminds me a bit of ’50 ways to leave you lover’. like the bridge progression and how it falls. has potential to be a good album track.

Constructive Comments: needs more refinement and theperformance needs to be tightened up.

Broadjam Artist: MELVIN BARHAM
Song: ARABIAN NITE

Reviewer: Junior Murrell

Positive Comments: nicely recorded. Rich collection of percussions. Performance was also good. Would do well is a Bollywood movie

Constructive Comments: Work of making your productions bigger

Broadjam Artist: Jon Babb
Song: Dreamworld

Reviewer: Junior Murrell

Positive Comments: Very current. The sort of thing you could in a trailer for a major film or as enhancement to a very involved shot. Really cinematic and full of feeling. Would woks really really in a movie. Believe you have a good grasp of this medium. All the best.

Constructive Comments: Sit with an engineer and learn from him how to bring out the colour in you compositions. Recording could have been brighter and greater separation of sounds would have enhanced to whole performance.

Broadjam Artist: Jeff Roberts
Song: The Valley of Death

Reviewer: Junior Murrell

Positive Comments: Like the syncopated riffs very nice. Like the guitar solo, reminds me of Denis Coffee. One the track got going it was easier to follow. Vocal too fitted the track and work well with the song.

Constructive Comments: recording needs refinement to bring out the arrangement. Can also be tighter in the performance

Broadjam Artist: Patrick E. Muth
Song: Snowy Mountain Stream

Reviewer: Junior Murrell

Positive Comments: Like the movement of the song. Nice chord progression.

Constructive Comments: Performance need to be tightened up. Was a little tought to make out the lyric

Broadjam Artist: Brenda Craven
Song: Turn Out The Lights

Reviewer: Junior Murrell

Positive Comments: Track has a nice Roy Ayers vibe. The pab holds it together well. Likable melody.

Constructive Comments: Need to tighten up the performance a bit. Lay your part against a metronome to keep you tight this will move it on from an average track to good one.

Broadjam Artist: Vicki Lee
Song: Somethin’ to Ease th’ Pain

Reviewer: Ober Rivers And His DUI’S

Positive Comments: Santana meets Garbage, pretty cool vibe. Sold ripping guitar and evocative vocals, great sound, very rockin.

Constructive Comments: Very original take on blues, I really like the meshing of styles between grunge like attitude, depressed Joy Division style lyrics, and blues slashing guitar. No real criticism, it rocks.

Broadjam Artist: Sandra Ada
Song: Pins & Needles

Reviewer: Ante Novaselic

Positive Comments: Although i usually like to hear my soundtrack type of music with a movie playing on top of it. I still found this track enjoyable and immediately painting pictures of various scenes in my mind where this song would work. Everything worked together well in this song

Constructive Comments: Because of the style and nature of the song i had to approach my review slightly different then i usually do so it took me a minute or two to listen to the track carefully and think about what scene,picture or emotion was the composer trying to convey with this track. The composer definitely achieved that in my mind

Broadjam Artist: Billy Pilgrim
Song: Drummer’s Notes

Reviewer: RICARDO ALONSO

Positive Comments: good overall production, good choice of sounds and effects all well sutained with a good steady percussion beat. very energetic and obviously good for games

Constructive Comments: good as it is
