Broadjam Artist: Ken Lehnig
Song: Used to Be

Reviewer: lost on foot

Positive Comments: love the feel of this track – very reflective and humble. Good story telling with some really well put together lyrics. The voice is expressive and has emotion that expresses the sentiment of the song really well. The production is spot on with the strings used really well (i mean not over done). The guitar underpins it all with piano playing counter melodies – really liked this track, good songwriting

Constructive Comments: Nothing, I listened the first the first time round and enjoyed it without trying to critique it which is always a sign to me that the song works on every level

Broadjam Artist: Uncle Spider & The Electric Dirt Clods
Song: Coming to London / Pop

Reviewer: lost on foot

Positive Comments: piano based pop song that drives the lyrical hook, The verses are well sung and its catchy (as all of it is). The vocal and general feel in the verse remind me a little of Manhattan Transfer. Piano is well played and underpinned by a beat that fits the feel of the track. Could well be used in a piece for London, its radio friendly. This is a catchy pop song that has a feel good sound and gets your feet tapping

Constructive Comments: Only thing I feel is the snare is slightly separate in the mix – maybe its the reverb used but for me it could be a little tighter

Broadjam Artist: Powerklash
Song: Grindleton – instrumental

Reviewer: RICARDO ALONSO

Positive Comments: Very energetic song since it’s beginning. guitar player is really good, with diverse guitar licks, one as good as the other. drummer does a very good job indeed. there are elements of progressive rock here with diverse T/S. good work

Constructive Comments: In my opinion is too much time for this song, I know the lead guitarists love to play extended soloes, but many times, the listener looses attention.

Song: Realm

Reviewer: RICARDO ALONSO

Positive Comments: This song, for, me, has spanish/arabic influence. The addition of voices gives grandiosiness (?)to the song.

Constructive Comments: seems to me that is unfinished. you coulld develop more with this song. The production is not good, voices sounds too compress.

Broadjam Artist: Rocky Larson
Song: Storm Dance of Love

Reviewer: RICARDO ALONSO

Positive Comments: The song is moody, nostalgic. The performer gives this mood, sometimes, stronger, sometimes not, like cthe way it is played. Good melody. the inclusion of timbale, gives kind of apotheotical mood and gthen comes to relaxation. Production is very good, piano sounds clear and does not fight with strings.Like this theme congrats.

Constructive Comments: my only con is total time. There are parts that are repeated 3-4 times, and this can make the listener to not give the proper attention.
