Broadjam Artist: Mike Cantwell – TalentEast Productions
Song: Longtime (Alt. Rock)
Reviewer: Jeff Roberts
Positive Comments: The vocals remind me of Bruce Cockburn, and that’s a good thing. There are some really nice plaintive vocal moments here. Later in the tune the bass/drum groove is really nice. This is a good start to a tune with lots of potential.
Constructive Comments: There’s a tremendous 500hz? boominess that needs to addressed here. The drum track is too minimal 505 to add much but the basic groove choices are good. The intermittment lead guitar parts are harsh sounding and fight the bridge. The bridge has some really pitchy and out of rhythm vocals. Overall there are a lot of timing issues where you don’t play to the beat. This needs a lot of work yet, but I think the tune’s worth it.
