Reviewer: MGB

Positive Comments: Very well played and well instrumented piece, with a great mesh of instruments. A real toe-tapper.

Constructive Comments: Nice piece.

Broadjam Artist: Warren Hein
Song: Just One More Day (piano/vocal ballad)

Reviewer: MGB

Positive Comments: Really beautiful and touching song with ideal instrumentation and great vocals and harmonies.

Constructive Comments: If there is one thing I’m not crazy about, it’s the note you hit at the 3:37 mark. It just doesn’t resonate with me real well, but of course somebody else might love it. It’s almost like you’re trying to do something that you don’t really need to do. To me, it would sound all right if your voice is raised instead of lowered for that note. Great song!

Broadjam Artist: Bob Bentley
Song: Knock ‘Em Dead

Reviewer: Spicy Folk

Positive Comments: I really like this song. The production is terrific, and the arrangement is really solid. I love the chorus, it is super catchy and I can see this playing on a TV sitcom, think along the lines of Dukes of Hazard, etc. I like the vocals too, they are soothing, not too in your face and not too boring either.

Constructive Comments: I wouldn’t say this is Pop/Rock. I would say it’s more like Country/Pop – if that is even a genre. Nonetheless, this really is a great song with a lot of potential.

Song: Head Banging

Reviewer: Ravensong

Positive Comments: nice groove and vibe from the opening. Great job on the lead guitar with a solid sound. Drummer does an excellent job of holding the song together. I like the melody line and the overall feel of the Piece. Well done, thanks for sharing it. Great guitar playing by the way.

Constructive Comments: I would have liked to have a bit better mix to sharpen up the overall effect of the music. All in all a great jam. Best of luck to you.

Broadjam Artist: George Michael John
Song: the memory hole

Reviewer: Ravensong

Positive Comments: interesting intro and melody line. Great work on the guitars and a really good sound. Breaks out of the melody into a very cool metal vibe. Very intricate work weaving the guitar in and out of the melody. I like the way the song holds it continuity through the various musical interludes, keeps the music fresh from beginning to end.

Constructive Comments: Great work I’m totally impressed with the whole production, very unique within the genera. Great work thanks for sharing it. All the best.

Song: The Space Force

Reviewer: Diane RIDAEUS

Positive Comments: There’s some great parts and some not so great -:00 – 23 nice clean opening, the brass could use a bit of toning down (EQ)but nice fat chords.:27 – 47 – the rhythm is off and distracting from those nice strings in the bass:55 that transition doesn’t flow – try simplifying itGoes along nicely till 1:02, beautiful horn part there. Some transitions between sections, i.e. 1:11 are rough but you can smooth these outTo 1:41 – starts out nice then the feel gets lost in some chord changes that are a little distractingAtt 1:43 -2:21 this is the strongest part of the composition, KEEP IT! Develop it. Another rough transition at 1:21, then to 2:35 this part might be good on its own but it doesn’t fit with what came before very well. From 2:35 to 3:35 is VERY GOOD – could be a cue track on its own.4:20 and on (repeats earlier sections) so all above applies. I really like these specified parts, suggest separate them out for several different cues. Oh – watch the distortion at 4:05 – 4:17

Constructive Comments: A lot of good stuff, just needs to be separated out into distinct cues as they don’t necessarily flow one to the next. Transitions are rough in a few spots and watch the distortion at 4:05 – 4:17Mostly just sounds incomplete. The track is very long, but there are many shorter cues (more usable for tv/film spots) Keep going, there’s some nice developments and potential!

Reviewer: MGB

Positive Comments: Well put-together piece with a nice groove and really good instrumentation. Love the original and raspy sound of the lead vocalist, as well as the backing vocals.

Broadjam Artist: Jeff Ashbaker
Song: The Wind is a Wicked Whistler

Reviewer: Ravensong

Positive Comments: Great memorable melody and song progression. I love the sound on the bass guitar, moves so sweetly. Once again dark lyrical content and a great vocal performance. Excellent recording as well. Almost country but not quite just a hit though. Pretty sure I know who this is as the sound is unmistakable. As always very well done.

Constructive Comments: Nothing I could possibly add that would help in anyway. Great job.

Broadjam Artist: Warren Hein
Song: Malcontents And Sycophants ( folk vocal)

Reviewer: Ravensong

Positive Comments: Very good overall sound and feel the the music. I like the sound of the recording, well mixed, arranged and performed. Very dark commentary on the state of current TV and society in general. Strong vocal performance all in all a great song very well presented with powerful meaningful lyrics. Very well done.

Constructive Comments: You don’t often hear a song with powerful and meaningful lyrics every one wants to write about there mundane life I think. Thanks so much for sharing it. All the best.
