Broadjam Artist: Randal Dunkle
Song: He’s Still King

Reviewer: MineHead

Positive Comments: captures indie folk/blues well, great job invoking Bob Dylan in the vocalisms…the bridge that summarizes and reverts back to home to close and fade, very skilled songwriting and a great performance as well.

Constructive Comments: he vocals are a bit too crispy, as are the cymbals. you can make them sit just as well by dialing back the top and cutting a few dB.

Broadjam Artist: Jeff Roberts
Song: I Will Be Redeemed

Reviewer: MineHead

Positive Comments: a superb performance from the guitarist/vocalist. the quality of the vocals was expertly enhanced by a nice mic & preamp I’m guessing, you can hear the richness in his voice. great job ! the acoustic guitar is upfront, articulate, and sits perfectly with the vocals without competing .

Constructive Comments: excellent arrangement with a nice bridge that complements without throwing the pulse off of the track. very skilled songwriting…

Broadjam Artist: Powerklash
Song: Kick Ass

Reviewer: MineHead

Positive Comments: I hear a few highbrow metal influences (MegaDeth), quality shredding, a tight arrangement and clean, understandable lyrics and fine vocals. the bridge is absolutely amazing and totally blew me away in it’s originality.

Constructive Comments: I applaud this band for their musicianship and clever writing and arranging. I wouldn’t change a thing.

Broadjam Artist: Patrick E. Muth/Catnip Pat
Song: BEFORE THE WORLD STOPS SPINNIN!

Reviewer: MineHead

Positive Comments: this track reminds me a bit of Tom Waits…this is a cool bluesy song but it sounds like a rough mix or demo.

Constructive Comments: what can I say ? the track is a bit sloppy. the rhythm/drums feel like they drag or out of sync and never catch up. this track suffers greatly from dragging, then pushing. the background vocals are very pitchy and are a bit too upfront in the mix. it sounds like a demo…

Song: ICE MARCH

Reviewer: MineHead

Positive Comments: I love the instrumentation and heavy use of orchestral perc…the marching snare, the gongs, superb elements that fit well amongst the horns & keys.

Constructive Comments: would be suitable for video games and film/tv placements. a very unconventional arrangement that indeed has a lot of potential due to quality of hook, instrumentation, and great recording & mix.

Broadjam Artist: robert wesley
Song: Illumination

Reviewer: Aremi Legard

Positive Comments: This song has a great atmosphere. At first I thought some violins would be nice, but they would probably disturb that great mood. Well done.

Constructive Comments: I gave you not so much points in market potential, because I think there is a lesser market outside for that kind of pieces.The recording is good, but it would be nicer with a little bit more volume and space. A small amount of compressing and a breeze of reverb may do that job. The instrumentation is excellent for this song, I am really excited about that!All in all I am looking forward to hear more from you.
