Broadjam Artist: Uncle Spider & The Electric Dirt Clods
Song: A Life In Question / Soundtrack

Reviewer: Jon Babb

Positive Comments: You really give the guitar a great accent in this song. I love hearing this style and you’ve pulled it off perfectly. The song is simple and does what it sets out to do, but it’s not so simple that it becomes boring quite the opposite in fact. This music reminds me of the stuff I heard in TV shows when I was growing up. Truly great stuff and an excellent guitar performance.

Constructive Comments: Nothing to add. You’ve performed impeccably.

Broadjam Artist: Tristyn Leach
Song: While The Angels Weep ( instrumental )

Reviewer: Jon Babb

Positive Comments: The choir that keeps ascending throughout the song really gives it a unique atmosphere. It took me a while to figure this out, but eventually I could recall what this song reminded me of — Perfect Dark for the N64. The drums and all the other instruments combined with the choir sound very similar to some of the music heard in that game. This song is great and can really put a listener into chill mode. Excellent work.

Constructive Comments: The drums are quite unique. I hear finger snaps and other things, so I’m curious as to how you put the drums together.

Song: Come Closer / Latin Rock

Reviewer: Osea Codega

Positive Comments: I liked at most the voice track and the choir behind the Singer, really well done. Original and nice change at 2:10. I’ve enjoyed listening the track

Constructive Comments: I left the lyrics n/a because as I’m not an English native speaker I don’t understand English perfectly, expecially in Singing. Keep up the good work

Broadjam Artist: Signal 30
Song: Autumn

Reviewer: Osea Codega

Positive Comments: Very nice snare sound, the rhythm involves listeners, original singing melody and good voice, choir and pitch. Great song!

Constructive Comments: Keep up the good work…

Broadjam Artist: Chet Nichols
Song: Lonely Woman (from the “Live” CD, “Black & White”)

Reviewer: Warren Hein

Positive Comments: very cool retro David Crosby type tune IMO, guitar excellent, sounds almost like a young Peter Olach or Chet Nichols to me…lyrics complicated by today’s standard–WHICH I LIKE! Well recorded, can’t tell if the applause is live or dubbed in–well done and powerful, reminds of the good old days! Tull anyone?

Constructive Comments: nothing–thoughtful art folk gem. kudos. listened twice, but that’s because i couldn’t find/hear the title/hook, which aint no problem for me…

Broadjam Artist: Jeff Ashbaker
Song: Supernova

Reviewer: Warren Hein

Positive Comments: like the production and instrumentation ALLOT, nice guitar work, which i would UP in the mix a bit. vocal is effective enough but attempts to be too “polished”, i’d like it a bit rougher honestly.

Constructive Comments: not too hip with the cliche’ lyrics IMO in the first verse, and the lead vocal is trying too hard in my opinion with the end phrasing vibrato, i know/think you can do better than that, you’re in tune, etc, just too much “affect” in my opinion. other than that a cool retro sounding track that is well written. all the best.

Song: 9 Kinds of Crazy

Reviewer: Warren Hein

Positive Comments: comedic style follows and vice versa the title/hook, “9 kinds of crazy”–unique tune, and i dig unique. i can hear this in a tarantino flick.

Constructive Comments: can’t ID the genre, not really folk/rock to me, but more soundtrack/unique–very cool regardless with it’s rough edges, and for this one, rough edges and rough lead vocal work just fine with your theme! kudos.

Broadjam Artist: Mitch Siegal
Song: Zero Gravity

Reviewer: Warren Hein

Positive Comments: i loved the lead vocal from the start, honest and not too “polished”…very almost bossa nova vibe (sp), mellow and very cool production and the BG vocals placed just right. instrumentation of lead guitar well done and classic!

Constructive Comments: nothing–a tune that is not my style per se, but i APPRECIATE what you’ve accomplished in the minor chord vibe…well done, well done!

Broadjam Artist: Prejippie Music Group
Song: The Passion

Reviewer: Warren Hein

Positive Comments: like the acoustic hitting us right from the start, would like to hear the lyrics more up front/understandable, but overall a well written tune with quality instrumentation and backing vocals to support the lead.

Constructive Comments: nothing much to add, but would like to hear this very cool tune sung with less FX and more “rough” and real vocal from the lead singer–may not be all in tune (like myself) but i’d try it, might produce a more sincere/authentic vibe–but that’s just my opinion, would also like the title/hook line brought up earlier, i had a hard time finding it, and may have got it wrong BTW– i liked the tune overall though. best of luck.

Broadjam Artist: Bob Higgs
Song: Pretenderman

Reviewer: Warren Hein

Positive Comments: Cool title, the verses are the chorus, and vice versa, which makes for a cool and different structure, similar to some of Orbison’s work. Like the way we can HEAR the lyrics. Pretty well produced tune as well.

Constructive Comments: nice job overall, would like a stronger lead vocal, but like the vocal being NOT hidden, so we can hear the lyrics…overall well done…all the best.
