Broadjam Artist: Patrick E. Muth/Catnip Pat
Song: TRAIN ON THE TRACK

Reviewer: Mossmunn

Positive Comments: Tom Waits, Beck and Captain Beefheart, are what spring to mind.Your clearly going for the shambolic approach, or if not then your drummer needs to sober up!I really like it, however this rhythm on the edge feel, sometimes seems to get a bit too close to the edge, and maybe you could reign it in a touch.

Constructive Comments: Overall i think the song could do with being a bit shorter and need to be careful of overuse of certain words, in this case the word “plan”.I do love the feel of it though and you clearly sound like your having a bloody good time, which for me is the most important thing.

Broadjam Artist: MGB
Song: ICE MARCH (instrumental)

Reviewer: Randall Mark

Positive Comments: Dramatic, rich song, evokes images of conquest on the battlefield or victory in a hard fought athletic event. Could bd in a scene in the movie “Rocky” I really like the way other instruments for added in to create slight deviations in the musical theme. Especially at about one minute 30 seconds with those drums and bass instruments came in, that was very dramatic. Good work

Constructive Comments: Not sure what to offer for suggestions. It’s s good job all around. I don’t have much experience with instrumentals to offer constructive criticism.

Broadjam Artist: MGB
Song: VICTORY (instrumental)

Reviewer: Michael Patrick Hogan

Positive Comments: Song reminds me of a TV show theme song. I listened to your song 5 times and still liked the tune. You might consider adding more/some reverb. Since the tune is repetitious and the key doesn’t change/modulate, consider bringing in some trumpets and more woodwinds in subsequent repeats to increase the texture as the song goes along. Perhaps more flute/clarinet/piccolo flourishes–instruments that play in frequencies that are higher than the french horn. Snare drum rolls are great at the beginning, but consider bringing in snare drum hits on the off-beats especially towards the end of the song. Perhaps a climactic snare roll into the final chord.

Constructive Comments: Same as above.
