Broadjam Artist: Jeff Maguire
Song: Onion Head
Reviewer: Bill Oboczky
Positive Comments: Interesting song…kind of a retro feel, was getting flashbacks to the late 60’s :-)It stands out because while it sounds retro, by that same token this type of music isn’t really hear much these days. Refreshing in a nostalgic way.Great mix, very solid cohesive sound with the guitar definitely up front in the mix and the focus of the song but all the instruments audible. The artist avoided a common pitfall of IDY engineering and had the drums placed properly in the mix, driving the beat but not too hot as to be distracting.
Constructive Comments: Not much constructive to say, actually. I would have liked hearing vocals if for no other reason than they would probably have added to the song’s commercial potential. If the artist wrote this in mind for background music for TV/movies, then most likely it’s fine without vocals though.
