Song: Benandonner

Reviewer: MGB

Positive Comments: Brilliant and chilling piece with really good highs and lows. Instrumentation and arrangement are top-notch. The power is almost overwhelming. Reminiscent of a lot of Pink Floyd’s stuff. Outro is very original.

Constructive Comments: Great job!

Positive Comments: Great song, I really like the lead vocals and also the good harmonies provided by the children, wonderful lyrics as well!

Constructive Comments: Great song, I really love the message because way too many children watch too much TV and this is not good – it’s best to read a book!

Broadjam Artist: Ronald Arduini
Song: Singing the Blues

Reviewer: Jeff Maguire

Positive Comments: Interesting and soulful tune in a pretty traditional setting, singer has a cool gravelly voice.

Constructive Comments: Vocals has a genuinely appealing and authentic soul style voice, phrasing is great. Backing is questionable but i really like the mix of influence, 60’s style do wop with Sam Cook soul. Really got a lot of potential in this one but I would consider a re do, loosen up the timing of the rhythm section, get a better recording and production. It’s a good tune.

Broadjam Artist: Raymond Garrobo
Song: Carry On

Reviewer: Douglas Branson aka dB+1

Positive Comments: Very moody from the start. The instrumentation is good. I am going through a journey of soundthe mood has evolved into pensive and reflective for me. Seems like a good soundtrack for a scene / montage in a film. Digging the piano line. Enjoyed it. Original and not just more of the same. The rush of emotion in life leaves me this way in a flash of truth.

Constructive Comments: I think I would like to hear a little more mastering on the mix – the drums are good although could pop a little more. The simplicity with not over production is refreshing. Nicely done. Thank you. I look forward to hearing more from this writer and or band.
