Song: stardust memories

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: Interesting instrumental piece. Expertly put together and mixed. So many sounds to hear. Nice percussion. I like the guitars. Great energy throughout. Nothing seems out of place here. Definitely nothing boring here. Watch out for the spaceships zooming by at the end. Nicely done!

Constructive Comments: I’m sure there’s a commercial market for this kind of piece…but don’t ask me where.

Song: Line in the Sand

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: This appears to be a protest poem put to music. Or perhaps it’s a poem about protesters put to music. The imagery is excellent. The presentation is a bit cerebral it’s a song to make the listener think. Where have we been? Where are we headed? Have we made any progress at all? Not a real message of hope here…just a reality check, which, by the way is sonically very well put together. I like the percussive bass underlay and the guitars on top.

Constructive Comments: This song suffers from the lack of a chorus. I could understand most of the words, but when you started ramping it up, the vocals (too many effects? Faulty mix?) got muddied a bit. Thanks for posting the lyrics. It helped me to see the mastery of your poetry. The last verse is particularly compelling.

Song: COLD LONELY HOUSE

Reviewer: David James

Positive Comments: Excellent lyrics with a strong theme and story. Great vocal. The singer really sells the song and good use of harmonies, which are in just the right places. Lovely guitars. I like the way the instruments are pulled back at 3.43 that is a nice touch. The sound quality is excellent. The song is worthy of The Eagles.

Constructive Comments: I’ve marked down the quality of the arrangement for one reason only and that is I think the song is just a tad slow. Even an extra 5 or 10 BPM might give the song an extra shot of dynamism. That said, it is really a strong piece of work. Worth pitching for the relevant opportunities.
