Broadjam Artist: jim Finan
Song: May the Fourth Be…..

Reviewer: Warren Hein

Positive Comments: nice melody concept. good attempt at building the song.

Constructive Comments: what really hurts this is the very synth-y sound, the instruments just don’t come through as realistic, but i did enjoy the melodic structure. the “dark” section at about 1:50 didn’t seem to fit the vibe/musical concept. the piece is a bit long for placement IMO. kudos on your effort here.

Broadjam Artist: English Mike
Song: Angelina

Reviewer: Warren Hein

Positive Comments: a lovely melodic piece here. romantic indeed, though IMO not true Classical, more easy listening, but lovely nontheless.

Constructive Comments: strings could sound more “real”, and the mix later on is a bit over “reverbed” and “hall-ish”, clouding some of the instrumentation. The drums can be more real as well, but hell, I love the melody and the structure. nice work overall.

Broadjam Artist: Norb Studelska/Upper Air Disturbance
Song: Aire In A Minor

Reviewer: Warren Hein

Positive Comments: I really like this piece, though it isn’t IMO Classical romantic (based on the guitar only), it is a lovely and enchanting acoustic guitar driven piece. The strings compliment nicely.

Constructive Comments: not much, i liked it all, maybe a little remix of the panned instruments to bring SLIGHTLY more to the center, but hell it’s well played and lovely. One other thing is the themes within the piece repeat a bit too often to hold attention, i’d shorten it where you repeat, also may be more marketable by doing that.

Song: Preacher’s Wife Blues

Reviewer: Norb Studelska/Upper Air Disturbance

Positive Comments: Great perspective and originality of lyrics. I liked the female backing vocals. Nice “clean” acoustic guitar accompaniment. The rhythmic pacing and breaks added to the interest of the song.

Constructive Comments: I have no constructive comments.

Broadjam Artist: Jeff Ashbaker
Song: I Still Ain’t Heard My Music

Reviewer: Norb Studelska/Upper Air Disturbance

Positive Comments: I really liked the male and female vocal duet. The lead guitar fills and breaks were well done. The addition of the violin was inspired. The entire piece was mixed very well keeping the vocals “up-front” then adding volume to the instrumental fills.

Constructive Comments: Just a little more bass for my ear.I quite liked this song!

Broadjam Artist: Hartmut Oberdieck
Song: admission blues

Reviewer: Norb Studelska/Upper Air Disturbance

Positive Comments: Nice lead guitar work. I really liked the complementing rhythm guitar track. Good effects on all of the guitar tracks. The organ was a good addition to the piece.

Constructive Comments: My ear would have liked a little more volume on the bass track.

Broadjam Artist: SKY HIGH MUSIC LABS
Song: Con Man Beth Woods

Reviewer: Norb Studelska/Upper Air Disturbance

Positive Comments: Simple yet poignant piece. Very “Dollyish” voicing that fit this song well. Very clean guitar accompaniment that was mixed well with the solo voice. A little bit of a surprise chording to end the song.

Constructive Comments: I have no constructive comments.
