Broadjam Artist: Ronald Arduini
Song: SHADES OF AMBER

Reviewer: MGB

Positive Comments: Nice, enchanting sounding piece with really good effects. Steady sound of the bongos is a really nice touch. This would make good background for a thriller or some other kind of movie.

Constructive Comments: Good work.

Broadjam Artist: Hartmut Oberdieck
Song: cowboyland

Reviewer: MGB

Positive Comments: Nice well instrumented and soothing piece. Makes you feel like you’re sailing along on a boat in the middle of nowhere. Very nice effect just before the 3 minute mark makes a great bridge. Vocals sound a lot like early Steve Winwood.

Constructive Comments: Nice piece.

Broadjam Artist: Margie & Art Corey
Song: Running out of Jungle

Reviewer: SRJ

Positive Comments: Bit difficult to review this one fully – as it is short. As it stands as it is, this is right up my street and has a kind of 90s trance feel to it which I love. It is well produced and polished with great instrumentation and arrangement.

Constructive Comments: It is probably your intention to produce this track for about 2 mins long – maybe as a cue for placement. However, it does sound like one long introduction. Even for cues you need to add some variety as it sounds like you’re building up to something but then the track doesn’t take us anywhere…

Reviewer: Sarah-Marie Ward

Positive Comments: Hello, I really enjoyed your vocals five stars there! The recording of the gutiar was good.

Constructive Comments: Sometimes we just have to enjoy and take a song at face value. I think that is what I choose to do here. Other than taking out some of the tin sound to make the gutiar recording great. It was a pleasure to listen to. The balance of vocals to gutiar was in measure.

Reviewer: Patrick E. Muth/Catnip Pat

Positive Comments: spacey and universal sounding in the sky sound like the way the drums are miked.

Constructive Comments: The four chords used here are great but diminish after a while.It would be better to move on to a chorus or change of some kind after a few minutes.Remember the attention span of the listener is about 13 seconds Still–this could be used in a soundtrack just as it is!All The Best!
