Broadjam Artist: Hartmut Oberdieck
Song: Dance with me

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: Extremely well done! Great rhythm and the blend on the instruments is spot on. This could easily find its way into film/tv in the right setting.

Constructive Comments: 2 suggestions. The bass line is really monotonous single-note, which could be slightly adjusted to give it more character. The other is to punch a few places on the lead guitar where there was either fret buzz or barely missed notes. That’s nit-picking though, as this is a great little song.

Song: Ya Did It Anyway

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: Throwback vibe to the early 70s, ‘Joy To The World’ era. Well-performed across the board.

Constructive Comments: I had to mark down recording quality and instrumentation for the horrid sound of the cymbals & hi-hat. Please re-record the drums with real splash cymbals, as the way it is currently sounds unusable to my ear.

Broadjam Artist: Russ Steele
Song: Balancing

Reviewer: William Glewicz

Positive Comments: The vocals and arrangement have a definite Sting vibe to them. Lovely! Love the sax.

Constructive Comments: Would be great to see the lyrics printed. Hard to follow in parts, but maybe that’s because I get swept up in the sound. Excellent work. Not quite 100% sure I got the correct word as the title.

Broadjam Artist: Bill Dake
Song: Do You Wanna Dance (cover)

Reviewer: Nigel Barrett

Positive Comments: A bit Al Jarreau in places which I liked.

Constructive Comments: Shuffle/swing? I couldn’t quite get a handle on the time signature.

Broadjam Artist: Uncle Spider & The Electric Dirt Clods
Song: You’re Running From The Heartbreak / Pop

Reviewer: Nigel Barrett

Positive Comments: Great 80’s sounding rich guitar is something I always love.

Constructive Comments: I’m a stickler for tightness so for me the tune sounded a little messy – any lack of tightness with such a large amount of echo/reverb only exacerbates it. Not sure if it’s my speakers also but it appeared to lack any bass.

Song: Purple Horizon

Reviewer: Watching Spaceships

Positive Comments: Nice track and would fit well in TV / Film, very 28 days later feel at times (The Film).

Constructive Comments: Recording is nice but felt the drums were a little sparse and could do with a little treatment to get them sitting better.

Broadjam Artist: Cec Cain
Song: Unlimited

Reviewer: Watching Spaceships

Positive Comments: Nice sound and clean recording

Constructive Comments: Personally I don’t feel the vocal sample is sitting to well, perhaps a little revert would bed it into the mix a little better.Was waiting for the rap to come in but it didn’t, would certainly work nicely on this.

Broadjam Artist: Nigel Barrett
Song: Quantum Dance

Reviewer: Watching Spaceships

Positive Comments: Recording is ok but sounds a little to much like a keyboard demo than a completed track

Constructive Comments: The voices used on this sound very much like they have all come from the same keyboard and makes it feel a little like the demo button has been pushed.The piano sound in particular is very weak and the over tack finished very abruptly.

Broadjam Artist: Vi: 00110110
Song: Flow (2016)

Reviewer: Watching Spaceships

Positive Comments: Quite a unique track blending classical with pop/dance. Probably very suited to film / soundtrack genre. Recording is nice.

Constructive Comments: Maybe getting a little busy at the end but otherwise a unique take.

Broadjam Artist: John Van Wicklen
