Great job vocalist!! Oh, the guitarist is excellent too!! Solid arrangement and very nice recording……Fine job folks…………

Broadjam Artist: Patrick Dude
Song: Settle The Score

Reviewer: Jeff Maguire

Positive Comments: Pretty good song with a VERY Spiders of Mars early 70’s spaced out Bowie vibe, definite potential in the song.

Constructive Comments: Song is good and has some potential but the recording, production and mix are borderline awful, plus the vocals are way out of tune. Which is to bad because the delivery is very much Bowie like, as is … IMO …. it needs considerable work to be really listenable.

Broadjam Artist: Bill Beach
Song: The Transit Line

Reviewer: Michael Cregan

Positive Comments: Very interesting, inventive intro. Good pace that keeps everything moving along very well. I like the concept and the feel is very good.

Constructive Comments: Voice is a little buried in the mix. Like to hear it stand out a bit more. The verses are running into the chorus with no break, so it is having a more monotenous feel that it really ought to. Here also, there are no dynamics. Meaning, the song stays at the same level of instrumentation, pace and volume all the way through. It could use a bit more build. Hold back on a few instruments initially, then bring them in. Toss in a change of pace for a moment.

Broadjam Artist: Craig William MacLeod
Song: Night Hiking

Reviewer: HarryBudini

Positive Comments: Cool bluesy instrumental with raunchy guitars, dobros, and riffs galore in general.

Constructive Comments: Is that bass real?

Broadjam Artist: HarryBudini
Song: I Alone With You

Reviewer: Jeff Maguire

Positive Comments: A symphony of noise. Quite possibly the worst piece of music I have ever heard … anywhere… this might actually be the worst music in the entire universe, but still, I gotta love it. The instruments sound cheesy, the lyrics are clearly written in some unknown and indecipherable ancient dialect . Why do I like it you might ask ? Not a fucking clue … it really, really , really sucks … but it’s great fun writing about.

Constructive Comments: Obviously this is the work of that guardian of ice cream , white magic, and soft core porn Harry Houdini. Once again escaping from the musical bonds of space and time and landing squarely in in the middle of his own Uranus … well done buddy. Keep em guessing.

Broadjam Artist: Chet Nichols
Song: I Want The Best That We Can Give (.. from “Taxi To Tonganoxie”)

Reviewer: FRED GROSS

Broadjam Artist: Jeff Maguire
Song: Last Free Man In America

Reviewer: FRED GROSS

Positive Comments: Jimmy Buffet-like. Catchy tune! This is a very good tune for film or TV for sure! Good musicianship and vocals are spot on. Good hook too.

Constructive Comments: Not much here except recording needs work. Levels need to be brought up alot, remixed.

Broadjam Artist: The Melody Stuart Project – Remerge Band
Song: Why -Acoustic Version – The Jezebels

Reviewer: FRED GROSS

Positive Comments: Good job… Recording is excellent and vocals are superb! This can work very well in so many applications… film and tv especially.

Constructive Comments: Nothing to add here really. The acoustic guitar only works, but so would a full band with some percussion. You’ve got a winner here!
