Song: Easy Street

Reviewer: Eclectic Soul Orchestra

Positive Comments: There’s lots of potential for this song.it’s. It certainly captures the bluesy feel. The melody itself is very original.

Constructive Comments: The vocals are not well mixed into the song. They sound boxed in-as though the recording was done in a poorly insulated room because you can hear that sound is echoed at times and a bit low in comparison to the instruments. The lyrics could use some touching up to make them more creative and varied. The base guitar is sorely lacking which the song needs for warmth and depth.

Reviewer: Eclectic Soul Orchestra

Positive Comments: The song is a crisp and we’ll mixed. I feel that it would make for good road travel music. The vocal arrangements are simple yet well placed in the song. Nicely done. The instrumental arrangements are also well structured.

Constructive Comments: The lyrics-I wish they were as creative as the layout of the song. It would be nice if there was more to the story.

Broadjam Artist: Paul Messina
Song: Omni Play

Reviewer: Tristyn Leach

Positive Comments: a very mystic sounding instrumental with a mix of style. has a almost eastern feel to it. with dark undertones. modern sounds with a traditional element within the mix. some cool sax and good arrangement , its different yet familiar and pretty ambitious towards the end.

Constructive Comments: good track, not sure i’d call it jazz though there’s some smokey room jazz elements in it. constructive comments it doesn’t need any. but if i was to say anything it would be cut the percussion ending and end with the mystic vocal instead or fade the drums and bring the vocal up to end on. just so it removes that backing track feel at the end,.nice work very inventive and skilled

Broadjam Artist: Earl.C.Webb
Song: MOVE A LITTLE CLOSER

Reviewer: Dave Haddad (CenterPeace)

Positive Comments: Some real visuals listening to this song. The intro with the bagpipes was really well done. Very is smooth and beautifully performed and mixed. Love the simple pad panned to the right and mixed back in the second verse… you add some congas on the second chorus, I love this type of arrangement. Very pleasing hooks, the piano interlude after the bridge was amazing! Cool background vocals, this song has it all.

Constructive Comments: I love live drums but what you’ve done with your programming is quite commendable. As a drummer and former heavy-duty programmer (wanting to get into it again) I really respect the time and attention you gave to the groove and the build up of the arrangement. I think this is my favorite song from you yet Earl…. I’m coming to London in December for a show and will have a couple days free… Are you in London?

Song: Feed Me, I’m Hungry

Reviewer: Dave Haddad (CenterPeace)

Positive Comments: Intense lyrics and vocal, pulls you in right away. Serious passion in the performance. The story told is as genuine and heartfelt as you will ever hear. The song is a masterful story, a stream of consciousness no less brilliant than a Bob Dylan, Bob Marley or Don Mclean song.

Constructive Comments: Acoustic guitar is a little out of tune in the very beginning but after the first verse it no longer bothered me. There’s a lot of hiss on the mix and the levels peak pretty bad a few times. Shoot for better production and it makes your song easier to listen to and has great potential for success. Beautiful song and message, thank you for your contribution, awareness and loyalty to this message and your talent.

Song: i am stretched on your grave

Reviewer: Eclectic Soul Orchestra

Positive Comments: The song carries a simple melody that is easy to follow. The vocalist has a nice strong voice that carries a tune fairly well.

Constructive Comments: The mix is a bit muffled and the background music doesn’t blend well with the voices of the vocalists. Instead of the music complementing the vocals, they seem to be in competition when all instruments should blend well which includes the human voice.

Song: Omni Play

Reviewer: Eclectic Soul Orchestra

Positive Comments: I’m always a fan for horns of any kind being added to a song. The song has a sensual feel that which you hear in the music almost immediately.

Constructive Comments: The song deserves accolades for its originality and depth of sound. Its very busy and found it hard to follow the melody at times, but overall its a good original composition. I wish the artist well on his or her endeavors.

Reviewer: Keith Taylor

Constructive Comments: The were a few spots in the lyrics that didn’t work for me… for example the jack and jill line.
