Broadjam Artist: Powerklash
Song: You’re Not Dreaming

Reviewer: Trinity

Positive Comments: This song is listed as pop/rock, I would say it is more rock. It has a strong hook and great dynamic drop during the verses. Great vocal and guitar counterpoint throughout the recording. I think this song would work in a film, as it has great momentum and power, and would propel a great montage or action sequence.

Constructive Comments: This is truly a great song, and is well played and sung, and has great market value as download or in a film soundtrack. The only thing I would say is, maybe there needs clean up in the mix. The intro, started with pumping distorted guitars, but the whole mix was a little distorted, I am not sure of the master gain wa set to high in the master, but with such a great song, maybe go back and bring down the master fader a little to knock out the overall peaking.

Broadjam Artist: Margie & Art Corey, S. & A. Corey
Song: I Get The Bird

Reviewer: Trinity

Positive Comments: This song starts strong and continues to gather momentum, keeping a great pace. Great authentic country vocals. Istrumentalists (whether artist or band) are top notch, and really gives a great Americana sound. I would be very interested in other material this artist has to offer, I think he/they are great.

Constructive Comments: I love the music, I love the strong pace through the song and as I said very strong Americana vocals punctuate the song without fault. I have a strong affection toward this style of music, and this songs sits comfortably high on that list as terms of quality goes. The only thing I would say, but just from my own point of view is, a dynamic or tempo drop on the last verse would have rounded the song off. But that is a small thing.

Broadjam Artist: Jimmy Michaels & Dick Hieronymus
Song: Ask Me To Dance

Reviewer: Nigel Barrett

Positive Comments: Aha! The short version! reminds me in this form of Tina Marie from the 70’s. Great strings!

Constructive Comments: None to add. It is clearly intended as a tribute track to that era. You would most likely love the BLACK SCIENCE ORCHESTRA if you’ve never heard any of their stuff. Check out the album the included the track St Mark’s Square.

Broadjam Artist: HarryBudini
Song: The Skeptical Inquirer

Reviewer: Nigel Barrett

Positive Comments: Quirky track that reminded me of some stuff by the British act XTC.

Constructive Comments: Hated that farfisa vibrato organ, sorry!Also some of the bass notes seem a little suspect or as a minimum too low to be identifiable, at least in headphones!

Broadjam Artist: Jimmy Michaels
Song: D.K.M. – She’s Gonna Be There Tonight/Ask Me To Dance

Reviewer: Nigel Barrett

Positive Comments: Human League Don’t You Want me Baby at the start! Very 70’s feel and a nice bass tone. Not sure if it’s real or synth! I’m going with synth. The strings shout 70’s!This has taken a lot of time to program the various tracks.

Constructive Comments: None to add. This is a competent piece of music.

Broadjam Artist: Uncle Spider & The Electric Dirt Clods
Song: Solitary Life / R&B

Reviewer: Nigel Barrett

Positive Comments: Liked the multi layered chorus vocal every now and again.

Constructive Comments: I wouldn’t call this track contemporary in this day and age. Much too sweet!I wonder if you couldn’t save that multi layer vocal sound for the chorus to make it sound richer and highlight the chorus. Additional harmonies on the chorus would also boost it.

Broadjam Artist: Joseph Miller
Song: Ain’t No Way

Reviewer: Nigel Barrett

Positive Comments: Reminded me of some Earth Wind and Fire stuff at the intro. Beautiful sax tone although a little on the trebley side for me. Beautiful brass pad behind the tune.

Constructive Comments: None really to add with the exception of the sax being a little too tinny for my ears. I listen through headphones.
