Broadjam Artist: Ante Novaselic
Song: Kessel Run

Reviewer: Randall Mark

Positive Comments: Loved the song!! Absolutely captivating instrumentation. I thought it was an all instrumental until lyrics came in later. I would consider this prog rock. Reminds me of Kansas or maybe Emerson Lake and Palmer. I loved the synthesizer or whatever that was that came mid song just after the vocals. Also loved how the song was segmented and evolved, again very prog Rock like, at least to me. I hope to go in artist profile and read more about the instruments and production of this song, after I complete review

Constructive Comments: I cannot offer anything more. I thought the song was awesome and top notch in every way.

Broadjam Artist: Bob Bentley
Song: Rivers That Flow

Reviewer: Randall Mark

Positive Comments: Nice feel good, nostalgic kind of song. I especially liked the vocal harmonies in the chorus. Nice little rift at very end also. Well produced. Lyrics perfectly audible and good stuff from the instrumentation which did not drown out any lyrics. I like the overall feel and vibe of the song very much.

Constructive Comments: I thought maybe verses lyrics could have gone a little deeper, painted some specific pictures or scenes by being a bit more specific. Some of the rhymes felt a little forced, maybe you can explore “near rhymes”. I have found near rhymes open up many more choices and selections in words, not having to perfectly rhyme to be used. Good song though.

Reviewer: Geoff Martin Preston

Positive Comments: Very professionally performed and arranged. Love the subtle mix and warmth, great hook and overall vibe. Brings back a lost era of music that paints a picture and a situation. Has that “to catch a thief” vibe. Very easy piece of art to offer up for a number of opportunities. Deserves to be a success.

Constructive Comments: Simplicity at its best which leaves the listener in no doubt of the musicianship and arranging prowess. I really enjoyed this song. It is evident that music is in your soul and you live and breathe it, Looking forward to hearing more of your compositions.

Broadjam Artist: Dooly
Song: SkullTrap

Reviewer: Geoff Martin Preston

Positive Comments: Nice arrangement and good use of textures and colour to create a contemporary electronic song ambience. I always look for the variation and colour in this genre and its here. It takes you somewhere and that’s the vibe you have conjured up. I was slightly disappointed the piece was relatively short, I felt it still had further to go and more to offer.

Constructive Comments: To say a song is contemporary is already a thumbs up and means you are in the mix, keep up the creativity. It sounds like you have the talent to search for a little more originality which will make you stand out amongst the mainstream.

Song: All You Are

Reviewer: Geoff Martin Preston

Positive Comments: I loved the intro it had that folk rock feel and the voice had a distinctive Bob Dylan feel. However you nicely developed the arrangement and the song flowed into a contemporary rock ballad with a very pleasant hook and chorus. Very tight musicianship.

Constructive Comments: Only observation from my side would be to add some warmth and depth to the mix, other than that a very enjoyable listen and one of those songs you feel like listening to again and that is what we are all trying to master. well done.

Positive Comments: cool groove – really nice production – like the repeating sax notes – vocals are right there all fitting in the style and substance of the groove.lyrics are fun and funky. subtle but effective use of the synth – tune has lots of space and lots of air – umm umm good

Constructive Comments: not much to comment on here – it all works in its own little way – dark, cool, and seductive. nice……
