Broadjam Artist: Kate Carpenter
Song: Two Hands to Work

Reviewer: Strange World Music

Positive Comments: The song is well put together, lyrics flow, I can see someone singing this on stage at the theatre. The song is also a message about being thankful for what we have which is a nice message. Also the backing singers joining in is a nice touch.

Constructive Comments: The lyrics flow well and can be heard clearly. I think the song fits folk music. The guitar is played well, the vocals are nice and clear, good voice. The song is not too long or too short, and the lyrics are quite catchy. Good song.

Broadjam Artist: Hartmut Oberdieck
Song: duellata

Reviewer: Strange World Music

Positive Comments: Bikers, roadsters, action, I see films, adventure. I feel I am travelling, hot sunny weather. The music is the right length, leaves me wanting more. I see Arnie, Tom Cruise, Jason Statham, I also see open air concerts with this piece being played full blast, love it.

Constructive Comments: I love the instruments especially the electric guitar. I don’t know the title, but I do like this instrumental. This fits Rock and the length of the music is not too short or too long in fact it leaves me wanting more. I like the beat, very, very good

Broadjam Artist: Bob Birthisel
Song: Friends Don’t Let Friends Drive Everyone Crazy

Reviewer: Strange World Music

Positive Comments: Good song, it has a catchy tune, I could see this song being used in an advert, tv, or even a film. I was moving to the song on second play, it has a nice beat, fits pop and pop/rock. I can hear all the vocals, lyrics flow, yes very good song.

Constructive Comments: I like the intro, and I like the beat, the song has a nice tempo, and the instruments sound good. I can hear all the lyrics, I like the musical break and the electric guitar, drums sound nice and deep.Lyrics flow, very good song.

Broadjam Artist: Patrick E. Muth/Catnip Pat
Song: GONNA BE ON TIME!

Reviewer: Strange World Music

Positive Comments: The vocals are clear and can be heard, I like the guitar very much, and the lyrics flow well. This is one of those songs where the music will stay in my head first and eventually the lyrics will follow. I can imagine being at an outside event and hearing this.

Constructive Comments: I love the electric guitar, all the instruments sound good but I do like songs that have music breaks in them and this song has one and it sounds very good. I like the intro before the vocals start.

Broadjam Artist: Margie & Art Corey
Song: Got An E-mail NEW KILLER FLUTE

Reviewer: Nigel Barrett

Positive Comments: Really liked the spacey approach to this tune. Built nicely. Love the rhythm guitar parts that dropped in every now and again and were offset beautifully with rich chorus chords.

Constructive Comments: By 45 seconds or perhaps 52 seconds I really wished it to kick up a gear with a pumping rhythm section. No identifiable chorus also leaves the tune slightly lacking for me.

Broadjam Artist: Ladee V
Song: Piano VWFine

Reviewer: Nigel Barrett

Positive Comments: Sounds a lot like a tv theme. Builds very nicely although after that big drum roll at 40/41 seconds I expected it to hit me in the face with more powerful stuff.

Constructive Comments: Nothing to add apart from my remarks in the positive feedback section.

Broadjam Artist: rob colley
Song: Furiant

Reviewer: Nigel Barrett

Positive Comments: Gosh the musicianship is tremendous – piano playing is delightful – like I wish I could achieve but sadly my own music is recorded in segments unlike this! Really like the doubling up in tempo/feel halfway through. Sounds like someone who knows that less is more.

Constructive Comments: Nothing to add here as it stands up well as it is.

Broadjam Artist: Noreen Inglesi
Song: Sometimes A Child

Reviewer: Nigel Barrett

Positive Comments: Gosh this is so different I am unsure how to critique it fairly as this is a genre I almost never listen to. It’s a good recording and very well sung.

Constructive Comments: Maybe go the whole hog and add a third harmony? That could take it to the next level.

Broadjam Artist: Jason Van Buren
Song: Grace Along

Reviewer: Strange World Music

Positive Comments: I like music that can take my mind on a journey, get my imagination going and this instrumental does that, in fact I could fit it to several scenarios, I could also see this being used in an advert, tv, film. I think personally this could be classed as folk music.

Constructive Comments: I am not sure about a title, there probably is one. The guitar playing is very good, the length of the music is not too long or too short. Actually this piece of music makes me think about being by the river, both flowing. I like it.

Broadjam Artist: Kate Carpenter
Song: I Spy You Spy

Reviewer: Randall Mark

Positive Comments: Catchy and playful religious song with a great message. I can definitely see this on a Christian Program or in a theatre production. I liked the Spanish guitar, made it more interesting. I also liked the finger snapping which kept in perfect time with the meter.

Constructive Comments: I can’t think of too many things to offer for constructive criticism. It’s a very creative song with a great message.
