Reviewer: Patrick E. Muth/Catnip Pat

Positive Comments: I like overall swampy “floating” sound

Constructive Comments: I believe you would have a better overall track if there was break in the melody, a change from the verse which starts to get redundant afer a spellkeep on truckin! catnip=+=

Broadjam Artist: Uncle Spider & The Electric Dirt Clods
Song: Let’s Fall In Love Again/ Rock & Roll

Reviewer: Fire in the Sky

Positive Comments: I absolutely love the melody! It makes me feel good! This a great track to pop on and listen to on a continuous loop! Great great melody! Did I already say that? I t reminds me of the sun starting to peak out of the clouds after a nice rain. I’ve now listened to this track twice and I cannot let go of the melody! Great Job!

Constructive Comments: I’m not quite sure how you want to market this song. It’s great just playing in the background. I sure wish there were some lyrics to this track. The only real criticism I have of this track, is maybe a few timing issues. Nothing major, and it really doesn’t take away from my favorite part…THE MELODY!!!! Keep up the good work!

Broadjam Artist: Greg Lambert
Song: El Gato

Reviewer: Fire in the Sky

Positive Comments: Love the groove of this track. Definitely in the pocket! While the song is a simple blues/rock progression, the individual instrumentation really make this song. Levels seem to be right where they need to be. Great little guitar riffs throughout the track that allude to it’s Latin styling. I could hear this track possibly in a Robert Rodriguez movie. Great job!

Constructive Comments: I think that this track is exactly what it needs to be. There is not much, if anything at all to criticize. If I have to bring something to light, it would be that the lyrics are almost corny, but then they fit and tell a story. So, I can’t even say that with any type of conviction. Ultimately a groovin’ little track that tells a quirky little story! Great work.

Broadjam Artist: lost on foot
Song: hard rain

Reviewer: Simon Finn

Positive Comments: I liked this a lot. I love the way you opened with a sparse version of your chorus, and your main hook – very clever. The song has a clear construction and the lyrics follow the structure so that it’s easy to follow. There are some great lines in the lyrics too. The title too is a great construction to use with the hook – not easy to come by these great combinations.

Constructive Comments: This song could get radio play – it’s contemporary, but the arrangement is a bit traditional and the vocals sound a bit over-treated for this genre – it would benefit from sounding a bit more “dirty”….great musicianship though!
