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.

Broadjam Artist: Uncle Spider & The Electric Dirt Clods
Song: Fool Enough To Love You / Rock Indie/Low Fi

Reviewer: Chris Mason

Positive Comments: This composition has potential. nice chord structure. The sound of the guitar is nice and its easy to here a melody over the top which i feel would elevate this song.

Constructive Comments: I would suggest taking more time over the recording and production. The timing is off and it feels slightly rushed. With a little more work this could be the start of a solid track.

Broadjam Artist: Felice Kaye-Cooper / Songwriter
Song: You Looked Into My Eyes

Reviewer: John Masarone

Positive Comments: This melody is so good it makes me think I heard it before. A very good arrangement, well thought out. It has a very romantic, reminiscing vibe to it. It will work well in a film scene.

Constructive Comments: I listened on my studio monitors. I feel the performance/instrumentation is holding back the greatness of this tune. If this was performed with real instruments it would be fantastic. OR, find someone that knows how to make soft synths or keyboards sound like the real thing. This is possible as that is what you’re hearing 60% of the time in music today.

Broadjam Artist: MGB
Song: ICE MARCH (instrumental)

Reviewer: John Masarone

Positive Comments: This piece of music is expertly executed. It reminds me of a movie battle scene or more likely when the movie goers are seeing the two sides gearing up for battle. There is a warrior type vibe throughout. Excellent!

Constructive Comments: I listened twice on my studio monitors. I’ve listened to hundreds of mixes on them. The mix is very balanced for the most part. However, the opening horn is very edgy. Sort of like too much treble. I think it needs to be smoothed out with maybe a little low pass filter. The triangle that comes in about 1:56 in too loud. It is stealing focus for that movement. Other than that, sounds great!
