Positive Comments: Nice tune! The drums are tight punchy and have a great feel. The singer has a Mick Jagger kind of sound/style to his voice. This tune has a cool 80’s feel to it. The bass player is tight and locks in with the drums really well. I’m digging this one.

Constructive Comments: Really nice job on this tune. Here’s a few things I heard that I think could be better in my opinion. I think there’s a little too much space between verses(between :49-1:03 for example). I think adding some guitar licks/solos there would make those transitions a little more interesting. I think the song needs a bridge. Nothing really changes during the song. The drums don’t change at all and the key never changes. The song doesn’t build up to anything. It sounds like one verse after another and then the song ends. Don’t get me wrong. I really like this song. The singer has a really cool sounding voice that you don’t really hear a lot of these days and the song has a really good groove, melodies and lyrics. I just think it needs a little work to really make it shine. I hope this was helpful. Best of luck to you!!

Song: Eye in the sky

Positive Comments: I dig the rawness of the recording of this song. Not overly produced not too shiny. It has a gritty quality to it that I think really works well for it. Some nice tasteful drum fills and really sweet guitar licks. I really like the roundness of the tom sound. It’s nice to hear some real drums and a good drummer.

Constructive Comments: This is a tough one. I don’t really have anything constructive for you. The only thing I will say is that I kept expecting to hear a lead vocal come in. Every time I thought someone was going to start singing the part changed instead which was cool but I can really hear vocals over this song. That’s just what I’m hearing. Either way I think its a very well recorded song, played well with talented musicians. Good job guys.

Song: do you think you are a star

Reviewer: Sixty Miles Down

Positive Comments: This one is definitely a good toe tapper. A really upbeat, fun and energetic tune that really grabs your attention and doesn’t let go. The guitar playing is top notch in my opinion. Very tasteful playing and good use of harmonies. I like the nice smooth tone that the guitar has in this song. The musicianship is tight. The recording is clear and punchy.

Constructive Comments: The recording is great. The blending of all the instruments is really good. Nothing gets lost in the mix and the mix has a lot of energy. The drums sound just a little thin to me. I know that the guitar is the focal point of the track but I think that if the drums sounded just a little bigger it would bring the song to a new level. Great tune. Best of luck to you!

Positive Comments: Beautiful start to a great R & B Christian tune, I love the beat and the keyboards are great!

Constructive Comments: This is a very good start to a good song – It needs some lyrics and a good singer – I can hear a bridge that would really take this song to another level – best wishes!
