Song: Rewind

Reviewer: John Evans

Positive Comments: This is a great song!! loved it from the opening bar superb vocal performance, subtle, honest and confident. I really liked the octave backing vocals and the opening guitar part, good string backing leaving space for the superb instrumentation to shine in various areas. Wow, this is possibly the best song that I’ve reviewed for a very long time, if this doesn’t get noticed then there’s no hope for any of us. Thanks for this Mate, you’ve made my evening, please keep plugging this song, It’s just got to make it! Ah….the old C90!!!

Constructive Comments: Don’t change a thing, this is the real thing, good luck but I don’t think you’ll need it!

Positive Comments: Great easy feel to this song, you can just settle down into it as it takes you along the story path. I loved the rolling percussion and the steady acoustic drive. Good electric guitar fills tying the whole thing together, really liked it, thanks. Everything does indeed change Mate, that’s so true!, good luck with this song.

Constructive Comments: Wouldn’t change a thing, it really works, maybe bring backing vocals up a bit on the chorus, but hey, what do I know?? Thanks again, really good song.

I really liked the way the acoustic guitar and percussion held the whole thing together, great driving tempo and rhythm. Thanks I enjoyed this song a great deal. Good luck.

Constructive Comments: Don’t think I’d change anything to be honest, the song promises from the start and absolutely delivers. Cheers.

Song: This Side Of Blue / Jazz

Reviewer: Patrick E. Muth/Catnip Pat

Positive Comments: I like the slow, lazy movement to this piece. this reminds me of some of the mood music that came out in the 70’s

Constructive Comments: It sounds like the levels are a tiny bit high. I listened to this twice. they were better after the song started but at first I think they were close to red-lining. Lately I am finding out that if I don’t get too close and leave a little more “headroom” the sound quality is better.Keep On Truckin!catnip
