Reviewer: FRED GROSS

Positive Comments: RECORDING IS REALLY WELL DONE. EFFECTS ARE HYPNOTIC IN THE BEGINNING. NICE BACKGROUND PIECE FOR ALMOST ANYTHING. COULD BE USED IN FILM OR TV EASILY. HAS AN UPLIFTING FEEL TO IT LIKE GIVING HOPE TO SOMEONE OR SOMETHING.

Constructive Comments: MAY BE A BIT TOO LONG FOR MOST APPLICATIONS, BUT THATS TRIVIAL. ANYTHING CAN BE CROPPED AND EDITED. NICELY DONE!

Broadjam Artist: Dave Haddad (CenterPeace)
Song: Waterfalls

Reviewer: FRED GROSS

Positive Comments: REALLY NICE CALM VIBE GOING ON HERE. I GOT A LITTLE LATIN FEEL TO THIS. THE TRACK WOULD BE PERFECT FOR BACKGROUND MUSIC TO A TRAVEL CHANNEL FILM, OR SYNCHING TO WEATHER CHANNEL. RECORDING IS NICELY DONE. CALM AND SOOTHING SOOTHING , BUT UPBEAT AND HAS A ROMANTIC FEEL. GUITAR WORK IS EXCELLENT.

Constructive Comments: NOTHING TO ADD HERE. VERY NICELY DONE!!

Broadjam Artist: Sandra Ada
Song: Simple Dreams

Reviewer: HarryBudini

Positive Comments: Very professional and atmospheric. It’s a tense and mysterious piece of music that would fit in a thriller or maybe even in a transitional section of a horror movie, or in a supernatural drama like Stranger Things.

Constructive Comments: Nothing useful I can add.

Broadjam Artist: John Hazlett
Song: 1st Piano Concerto 1st Movement

Reviewer: Fredda Temples singer / Sherri Hill Songwriter

Positive Comments: Like the dark undertones of the music.

Constructive Comments: I think the the stings could be a little louder so they blend better with the piano.

Broadjam Artist: Uncle Spider & The Electric Dirt Clods
Song: Trevor’s Lullaby / Children

Reviewer: Fredda Temples singer / Sherri Hill Songwriter

Positive Comments: I like the flow of the song.

Constructive Comments: I not particularly fond of the electric piano sound and the little pings at the end. But over all it’s a nice song

Broadjam Artist: Dave Haddad (CenterPeace)
Song: Global Chilling

Reviewer: Jon Babb

Positive Comments: In the first few minutes this song had a peaceful and world vibe I honestly thought I was listening to a meditation track or something. However, the track then takes off and transforms into sweet jazz. This sounds like something I would hear from Spyro Gyra with the interesting use of instruments and mood changes throughout the track. Everything from the recording to the instruments are top notch. Please let me know when you release more stuff!

Constructive Comments: I really could not add anything to the great piece. Keep up the good work!

Broadjam Artist: Chet Nichols
Song: Desert Christmas

Reviewer: Jon Babb

Positive Comments: This is the definition of a love ballad at its best. It has a classic sound which is something I miss hearing and is lacking in the music we hear today. You’ve pulled off a truly eloquent arrangement, and I found myself completely tuned-in to the music. Honestly, you had me sold from 3:08-3:28 — that part alone was a masterpiece. All I can say is great work and keep it up!

Constructive Comments: The only suggestion I can make is to keep making music like this and let me know when you release more!

Broadjam Artist: John Hazlett
Song: Alone

Reviewer: Jon Babb

Positive Comments: I love the sound of the pan flute instrument that you have going on in the beginning, as it gives the track a haunting feeling combined with the sustaining strings in the background. In fact, all the instruments together work really well to make the music convey a sense of nostalgia or longing. The song makes me picture a hero exploring a beautiful ruin and contemplating ages gone by. Excellent and moving piece.

Constructive Comments: Your composition is really great, and I couldn’t add anything to this if I wanted to. You’ve done an excellent job!

Broadjam Artist: Edgar Sounds
Song: Path to Self

Reviewer: Jon Babb

Positive Comments: From the beginning I loved the soft and pastoral sound that could be felt through the music. The song changes pace into a more heroic or dramatic mood later on and you introduce some more emphasized percussion, and altogether you are able to create piece that truly stirs the emotions. The different moods you are able to convey in this one track are amazing, and I loved listening to every second of it.

Constructive Comments: Great work on this piece! I cannot think of anything to add, really.

Broadjam Artist: Nigel Barrett
Song: Goodbye Yesterday

Reviewer: Jon Babb

Positive Comments: The music really captures a feeling of motion or progression, such as it is with subtle instruments and a minimal approach. I actually enjoyed the simplicity of it, and as such I could hear this being used in any number of scenes in a movie or TV show. It has a nice modern sound suitable as progressive background music. The piano and strings complement each other beautifully.

Constructive Comments: Excellent work on this! I cannot think of anything to add.
