Song: Jagged Edge

Reviewer: Patrick E. Muth/Catnip Pat

Positive Comments: good start, building,building, there we go! off to the races!Ok taking a different turn now, returning to 1st bass now, building again!

Constructive Comments: Waiting for this song to take on a life. We are on the same chord the whole song. Excellent guitar but the basic song structure needs to expand remember in LA we teach that the listener has 13 seconds to capture the audience and if not captured by then the listener turns the channel or falls asleep.Keep on truckin!

Song: FOR THE LOVE OF A WOMAN

Reviewer: Patrick E. Muth/Catnip Pat

Positive Comments: like the overall tone to this song! Sounds like some early temptations. good vocal blend towards the end

Constructive Comments: im waiting for the bass, waiting, waiting. Waiting for the whole band to kick in. Might just be the mix or cans but if a new mix would bring out the bass i think it would help this already good number!Keep on Truckin an remember, “Music is Love”======Catnip===

Broadjam Artist: Kevin Leon Smith
Song: Dub Crystals

Reviewer: Ante Novaselic

Positive Comments: Cool track. I dig when the flute part comes in.For some reason it reminds me of something I could hear in a James Bond 007 movie with the late Roger Moore. The ideas were well put together and arranged to make sense of it all. This could have easily been a mess but its not. Well done!

Constructive Comments: Not much to add here. Keep up the good work!!

Broadjam Artist: Nigel Barrett
Song: Tenderly (instrumental version)

Reviewer: Jeremy Price

Positive Comments: Dig the melody and groove. The guitar at 1:30 sits perfectly int he mix. This has a very ZETA vibe which I also dig. Nice slow jam. Great ending as well.

Constructive Comments: My only constructive feedback would be that the drums sound a little thin in the mix. Maybe beefing them with parallel compression or opting for a complete digital sound may bring them to life. Overall, excellent work!

Broadjam Artist: George Molden
Song: Soundscape

Reviewer: Jeremy Price

Positive Comments: Great original work. Definitely enjoyed not knowing what to expect next. Great use of dynamics and the use of a variety of instrumentation.

Constructive Comments: My only feedback would be that the piano seemed a little hot in the mix, but other than that excellent work!

Broadjam Artist: Dave Haddad (CenterPeace)
Song: Subliminal Messages

Reviewer: Jeremy Price

Positive Comments: Nice structure. Very nice guitar solo.

Constructive Comments: The tone of the rhythm guitar was a felt a little muddy in the mix.

Broadjam Artist: Tom Reardon
Song: Comeback Kid

Reviewer: David J. Hentosh

Positive Comments: This has a nice feel and a nice flow. The vocal is nicely done and the instrumentation works very well, its performed well, and its recorded well.

Constructive Comments: I think the vocal could be a little stronger in the mix. It has a very nice quality but it seems to get a little lost at times.

Broadjam Artist: Jeff Roberts
Song: Slow Down

Reviewer: David J. Hentosh

Positive Comments: Overall, this sounds OK and everything works well together. The vocal is clear and the harmonies fit nicely.

Constructive Comments: I think the lyrics could use some work to give this more depth.

Broadjam Artist: David James
Song: Heat Haze (ft. CoriAnder and Ruth Gillies)

Reviewer: Felice Kaye-Cooper / Songwriter

Positive Comments: Nice vocal but a little pitchey. I think given the instrumentation the song would do better in the New Age Genre

Constructive Comments: A bit compressed in the sound quality. Tighten the vocal and I think you will score better.
