Broadjam Artist: MGB
Song: ANSWER MAN

Reviewer: Lonnie G

Positive Comments: seems to go astray…then that dynamic dip…very cool…and a nice chord change after that…

Constructive Comments: wouldn’t call this Blue/Rock…more in the Rock thing ala The Cars..i dig the lyricsaround 2:36 it gets pretty muddy…don’t quite get the arrangement idea here…maybe soloing over these oddities would bring it more into focus….OR drop it all together…the song is moving really well and that sesction seems to transport it too far away from THE GROOVE…it’s a sweet COMMERCIAL tune….sometimes less truly is more

Broadjam Artist: Patrick E. Muth/Catnip Pat
Song: BEFORE THE WORLD STOPS SPINNIN!

Reviewer: Lonnie G

Positive Comments: cool idea with the chording and old world vibe

Constructive Comments: background vocals are way too loud….needs some production work to get the mix right…too many conflictsdrums are sometimes out of sync…

Broadjam Artist: Margie & Art Corey
Song: Kitschy Kitschy Kool

Reviewer: Lonnie G

Positive Comments: sax work is very cool…breathy, airy atmospheric…i dig the piano movement and chording…the under vocals are interesting…the bass riff is also cool and hypnotic…

Constructive Comments: not that crazy about the K’s…harsh tone…might be an interesting idea to speak this sometimes the vocals seem to clash with some of the chording…still an artistic piece worth exploring

Broadjam Artist: Marc S. Pate
Song: Rainy Night

Reviewer: Lonnie G

Positive Comments: sweet power guitar….nice chording…and sweeeping arpeggios…

Constructive Comments: my only constructive comment is to not have the drums doing too much…just a BIG FAT GROOVE…ala David Wekell

Broadjam Artist: Peter G Olach – PGO
Song: Humans in HEAT

Reviewer: Lonnie G

Positive Comments: very powerful intro ala ZZT….i like the harp soloing off the top…

Constructive Comments: ooohhh! didn’t dig this breakdown in the intro…i think things were rockin’ and there was a big drop prior to the voclas….keep it rocvckin’…i would actually drop the breakdown all together…it seems unessential to the drive of this very cool tune..you already break it down prior to the solo….there’s too much happening at the outro…you have a guitar solo and a harp thing…i would do a re-intro…with the power guitar….just lose the breakdown changes…

Broadjam Artist: Donovan Tucker
Song: Electricity (unplugged)

Reviewer: Marc S. Pate

Positive Comments: Nice intro. I like the way the harmonies came in. Well done.

Constructive Comments: Its a nice little tune but, I’d like to hear it with a whole band, could really hear it kickin’ in after the first first. But, you’re got keeper, good luck with it.

Broadjam Artist: Denis Hackett
Song: Golden Days

Reviewer: Marc S. Pate

Positive Comments: Tasty intro. Very in the pocket, well done.

Constructive Comments: Vocal track is very nice, but maybe a little harmony would bring more emotion to a nice tune. I’m no engineer, but maybe bring the instrumentation out a little more,

Broadjam Artist: Von Base
Song: Bailar (The Way You Move)

Reviewer: Patrick E. Muth/Catnip Pat

Positive Comments: like the overall tone of this composition and choice of instruments as well

Constructive Comments: I think this song would be stronger if you added a break in it to change up things—remember the attention span for most is about 13 seconds if the song doesn’t keep changing just a thoughtkeep on truckin! catnip=+=
