Broadjam Artist: David J. Hentosh
Song: Goody Two-Shoes

Reviewer: Joe Stewart

Positive Comments: Loved the feel of this song and the vocal is perfect for it. Nobody over playing makes it feel right. It would have been easy to get carried away on guitar or drums on this.Nice theme that I’ve never heard before so the originality is good on this one.

Constructive Comments: Not much I’d change on this song. It’s catchy with a down south feel that I personally like.

Broadjam Artist: Laurence Watkins
Song: Where’s She Gonna Go ?

Reviewer: Joe Stewart

Positive Comments: Real late 60’s feel which is not meant as a negative, it’s probably time for this time to be revisited. Like the vocal sound and it matches the song perfectly.An unusual song that shows real potential for this writer so I would like to hear more to see how they have developed.

Constructive Comments: Could use some vocal harmonies in places and I would have liked to hear the backing track be a little more solid. However, I suspect that this sound is what the writer envisaged for this song so that’s fine. We all have a sound in our mind for our work so it’s a personal thing.

Broadjam Artist: Warren Hein
Song: Let’s Drive Instrumental Minute

Reviewer: Joe Stewart

Positive Comments: Powerful opening but too short. The sound is great and I wonder if this has been played or is it done with loops? Doesn’t matter really but if this is played by the writer I’m impressed.Would make a good background track to a film or action sequence and in this short form may well be OK for just that scene.

Constructive Comments: Good sound that could have laid the path for some real variations that could have taken this in all kinds of directions. My advice would be to revisit this and extend it with different sections because it’s worth it.

Broadjam Artist: Hartmut Oberdieck
Song: 1316 (2007)

Reviewer: Joe Stewart

Positive Comments: Loved the feel of this, very exciting in the way it developed. The playing is nice with nobody over playing which could have been a temptation on this one. Would make a great soundtrack to any action film. The drums have a real meaty, punchy sound which is essential for this kind of production.Great

Constructive Comments: Not much to say here, I loved it.

Broadjam Artist: Ken Lehnig
Song: Mary Moore

Reviewer: Joe Stewart

Positive Comments: No doubt that this is catchy. It’s one of those songs that you think is too simple but after you’ve heard it you find yourself singing it, which has to be a good thing.There wasn’t much variation in the song or the arrangement but once again this seemed to make it more memorable.

Constructive Comments: Would benefit from better players and a better recording facility, especially in the drum department.

Broadjam Artist: Kevin Leon Smith
Song: KLS

Reviewer: Chris Mason

Positive Comments: I liked the overall feel of the track. For me, it instilled a feeling of relaxation and mental focus. I thought there was a balanced mix of instruments used that complemented each other nicely. I particularly liked the the jazz flute (I think its a jazz flute)

Constructive Comments: I really like the feel of this track although i wouldn’t label it as rap. More electronica. overall a good composition that could be used in a wide variety of things.
