Broadjam Artist: SPG~Man
Song: Promises2Funk

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: A piano player hits upon a chord progression he/she really likes and milks it for all it’s worth. Adding in percussion, and some fun synth sounds, the song rollicks along at a nice pace, spreading a cheerful mood to the listener. Might make nice hold music.

Constructive Comments: It seemed like the intro was a bit long…then finally you launched into some new sounds. Nicely done! Sounds like you had fun recording this!

Broadjam Artist: Randal Dunkle
Song: The Meaning Of Christmas (Barrett/Dunkle)

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: The instrumentation in this song is very magical and definitely has a Christmas ambiance to it. It’s the strongest point in this work. The intro has a nice anticipatory to feel to it which continues throughout the song. Nice job on the production of the instrumental track! I like the message of the lyrics – the true meaning of Christmas is Jesus.

Constructive Comments: The vocals are clear and easy to understand but there are some pitch and tonality issues that are cringe-worthy. This song might possibly have a chance with a professional vocalist cutting a demo of this. I think possibly female, though not sure. Not meant to hurt your feelings, just giving my honest opinion.

Broadjam Artist: Charlie Shock
Song: BACK THEN

Reviewer: Jeff Cowhick

Positive Comments: I really enjoyed this song and I would ascribe the talent here to someone on a level with ‘Fountains of Wayne.’ Keep up the good work, the quality here is excellent and you know what you’re doing! I would listen to the radio waiting for a chance to listen to this stuff. I enjoyed the music from this era which seems to be the mid to late 90s.

Constructive Comments: I would work a little more on making the vocals clearer and a little bit more concise and simple if anything. Also, you didn’t need a lead part but if you did make the words less verbose then you would probably need to make the accompaniment a little more busy ie. a little instrumentation like a guitar or harmonica lead to fill in where the words leave space.
