Positive Comments: Loved the piano and the chill feel of this.

Broadjam Artist: SKY HIGH MUSIC LABS
Song: Don’t, Don’t Repeat Yourself

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: Tempo and energy level are good for a demo.

Constructive Comments: No idea what I was listening to. Certainly not folk, and it seemed to just ramble without direction. I’d either add lyrics or some kind of chord change. Something.

Broadjam Artist: Douglas Branson aka dB+1
Song: Your Boyfriend is a Dick (Pop Version)

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: The band is pretty tight and the title has to be “Your Boyfriend” so top score on the hook.

Constructive Comments: For me, I just don’t see any marketability. I like comedy but this wouldn’t play anywhere that I can think of.

Broadjam Artist: Greg Lambert
Song: Every Time You’re Near (Instrumental)

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: The mix is sensational on this tune, and the chord progression had just the right amount of dynamics and a handful of changes to keep it interesting. Even the guitar tones are spot-on. Outstanding!

Constructive Comments: Nothing negative at all – great job

Broadjam Artist: PHIL MITTEN STORYTELLER
Song: Dancing On Air

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: Very lush sound and reminiscent of 70s throwback sound. Instrumentation is solid.

Constructive Comments: For me, the vocal was perfectly on pitch, but had zero emotion. That made the song sound dated and old, as opposed to a throwback to an earlier era. I’m guessing this was likely written in the 70s.

Broadjam Artist: Ante Novaselic
Song: Play Yah

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: Nice energy and the band is crisp and tight. Definitely something with a market viability in the current music scene.

Constructive Comments: I found some of the semi-unison vocal parts to be off-pitch, but that can be tightened up. Overall good song for its genre.

Broadjam Artist: Hartmut Oberdieck
Song: stardust memories

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: Love the natural instruments instead of synths everywhere. Good use of dynamics. Reminds me of a comet shooting by. Tasteful bass and drums are a bonus as well. Enjoyed the listen for sure!

Constructive Comments: For me the rhythm guitar wasn’t tight with the mix in places. I’d either re-record it or mix that with a richer tone and make sure every beat is on.

Broadjam Artist: Signal 30
Song: Paint and Spackle

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: Good energy and the mix is pretty strong.

Constructive Comments: No idea why this is listed as Pop Rock. It’s EDM/Dance or Electronic to me, certainly not rock.
