Positive Comments: Really nice intro and build up. Guitar work and drums are all top notch. Keyboard sound adds a really cool touch to it. Very good vibe from start to finish. Very catchy with great riff.

Broadjam Artist: Laurence Watkins
Song: That Girl

Reviewer: Craig Bishop

Positive Comments: Reminds me of the Beatles. Cool spacey music.

Broadjam Artist: Denis Kavemeier
Song: Almond Jam

Reviewer: Sam Cooper

Positive Comments: It sounds like a new cleaned up instrumental version of the old rocker “Alright Now” by Free must have been on your minds.

Constructive Comments: Something about this is a little sterile. Sounds like someone should be cutting loose with something fiery!

Broadjam Artist: Hartmut Oberdieck
Song: end of the year

Reviewer: Sam Cooper

Positive Comments: Laid back blues guitar showcase the pretty much works. Well-recorded!

Constructive Comments: A lot of the licks are stock. Maybe a theme or something out of the ordinary would give this recording a little goose?

Broadjam Artist: Peter G Olach – PGO
Song: Our Family Plan PGOlach/Rurack/JTB

Reviewer: Sam Cooper

Positive Comments: Got that Texas blues guitar sparse influence a la Stevie Ray. Tight rhythm section.

Constructive Comments: I know this may seem unkind, but I don’t think the harp helps this and the vocalist doesn’t sound appealing to me. I get the feeling he’s trying to get the vocal vibe of Frank Zappa’s “Fifty/Fifty” (from Overnite Sensation). It’s not there yet though.

Broadjam Artist: Douglas Branson aka dB+1
Song: Excellent Day

Reviewer: Craig Bishop

Positive Comments: Sounds like it should have been written in the 60s. Cool groove.

Constructive Comments: Sounds like a live recording. Like to hear a studio recording of the song.

Broadjam Artist: Sam Cooper
Song: YO, MY LOVE (alternate mix)

Reviewer: Craig Bishop

Broadjam Artist: Ante Novaselic
Song: Say

Reviewer: Craig Bishop

Positive Comments: Nice clean recording. Nice mix. Nice harmonies. Like the song.

Constructive Comments: Distorted guitars a little high in the mix. Vocals sound in competition with the guitars.
